This is the smoking gun that settles Sauron's feelings for Galadriel as being romantic canonically because not even the people that dismissed all that went down between Gal and Hal as merely the actors having unforeseen chemistry are able to explain why her brother is so desperately full of lust for her and is terrified of losing her We know that Finrod's actor was given notes to act like he did and that wasn't an accident at all
Okay,
I don't think we, Haladriels, discuss this moment nearly as much as we should.
When Sauron pulls Galadriel into his illusion, he disguises himself as her brother Finrod.

Just look at this! When he started it, he really thought he had a chance of convincing her and pulling her to his side. But she didn't buy his theater performance, and, as she slowly stood up and walked away, it probably felt for him as if a handful of sand was seeping through his fingers, as that chance was withering away inevitably.
He lost his temper completely.
Her back was turned on him, so she couldn't see him, but we, the audience, did. He was calling for her desperately, his eyes darting around, he breathes heavily, he didn't know what to do here. He, the control freak himself™, had zero control over the situation.
He needed her next to him so much but he couldn't bring her there. So in his extreme desperation he shouts "Look at me!", and that moment was so intense for both of them that in transition to the next illusion Galadriel lost her balance and leaned forward (I think both because of sudden change of location to water terrain and the scream).
Wow. I mean, just wow.
(a little clarification: by "he needed her next to him so much" I mean at all times, not just in that moment)
