Ted Lasso | Warm and Kind (Ted & Rebecca)

My lovelies, am I glad to share this video with you today. I wanted to edit a tribute to Ted and Rebecca ever since it ended over a year ago, but could not muster the strength. Such was my pain. But then, one day, it clicked. That day, I was watching The Electrical Life of Louis Wain.

This movie emotionally wrecked me. It is incredibly sad. It’s also one of the most beautiful pieces of cinema I have ever seen. It had a very peculiar mixture of joy and sorrow. The tone of this video is therefore defined by these two qualities, in no small part because I found the ending of Ted Lasso incredibly bittersweet. In a way that is very hard to process for me even now.

I suppose this video explores the impact Ted and Rebecca had on each other’s lives. Starting with recognising a kindred spirit in the shared grief and pain caused by their divorce. Rebecca also had a sixth sense regarding Ted’s shaky mental health and the edit shows how much she helped him get through it in small but meaningful ways. The monologue I picked perfectly illustrates that. Louis’ speech to his wife could be Ted addressing Rebecca, but in truth it works just as well the other way around. Hence why I made sure that it was relevant both ways. Anyone having paid particular attention to these two will know how much these words ring true.

The music is also taken from the movie. Isn’t it just enchanting? It strikes a chord in me. It makes me tear up in a way that is undeniable, if hard to explain.

I really hope you will like this edit. I was very moved making it and I hope to move you, too.

I wanna give a shoutout to my good Tumblr friend @movrings. Oh the meltdowns we shared. lol She made a beautiful Tedbecca edit and gave me a shoutout on my birthday last year.

Lots of love, as always!
Mathilde
