    He has such a mature voice and a sense of humor that makes you laugh...I get the feeling he's humble, in a way. He makes a big deal about not going out of the way to watch himself on television, he isn't full of himself. And doing that, he purposely brings himself down to the audience's level. It's funny because he's a sweet guy, charming (I love him, because I've come to just l-o-v-e Snape) and if he cracks some witty joke, he can just keep on talking with the same straight face!

Alan doesn't play villains, he plays interesting people. I wish one day we could get an interview with him in which he Just Talks! ALONE. Such an intelligent person has enough to say, believe me.

  • @FriedEggsWithChips
    @FriedEggsWithChips8 жыл бұрын

    Rickman very gracious here but the interviewer is dismissive and therefore disrespectful about all the other actors he mentions during the course of the interview. First he puts down the stage production of Sweeney Todd (starring Angela Lansbury, easily a friend of Mr Rickman's) in what the latter calls "kind of a legendary performance", ignores Rickman's mention of another great stage performance of Todd then talks up the upcoming movie of it on the basis that he likes the pretty colours? 1:50 OK blue sepia tones are nice but he makes it sound like he prefers movies over stage productions for no reason more substantial than the lovely colours and costumes.

    @@lewars1912It's because for a too long period of time they've been omnipotent. TV hosts invited people, were the only ones to ask questions, were the only ones to express their opinion on smth. They and critics were able to make or destroy a person/ production. And, like in this case, many of them didn't care much about the guest, but rather about expressing their own cleverness. Nowadays, thanks to the Internet EVERYONE can express their opinion (however idiotic sometimes) which brings a huge amount of freedom.

    The best interviewers know the interview is about the guest, not themselves. They shine the spot light on their guest. They ask thoughtful questions and allow the guests to respond. This guy did not. I have seen several excellent interviews where the interviewer let Alan speak. This was not one of them. Thankfully Alan was his usual gracious self and handled it effortlessly ❤️

    This is why unless you have a love of theatre you should NOT speak about theatre to Alan, it is his background, it is what helped him become a brilliant actor and something he holds dear to his heart, the interviewer, whilst many things were bad with this interview, that is one of the things that annoyed me the most. I know, everyone is allowed their own opinion but still, the interviewer made himself look like an idiot but, thankfully, Alan put him in his place and politely done as well.

    @redcraft1 I was talking about big films, "blockbusters", not movies for TV. If you check out his wiki page, you'll see that he starred in TV productions, mostly BBC miniseries and BBC TV movies. Which is not a bad thing, as far as I'm concerned most BBC productions, even for TV, far exceed, quality-wise, the rubbish that Hollywood passes for films these days. HOWEVER, as partial as I may be to all things British (:D), one cannot deny the fact that Die Hard made him a household name.

    @abbamoney I have the same feeling watching the video from the very first second. He looked more relieved when talking about the preparation of Sweeney Todd. But he had that "slightly annoyed but forced smile" face on when the interviewer asked the cliche "villains" and "Shakespeare". Why is that I feel the US interviewers tend to give their opinions to the interviewee, rather than the other way round? After all, I am more interested in the interviewee's thoughts and insights.
