I read the interviews because I can't resist (curiosity gets the better of me), but bizarrely they always leave me feeling a little uncomfortable ... I can't work out why that is. I think I prefer the questions that just focus on his work :)Mulubinbanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-20319680999719722462010-06-04T21:08:53.560+02:002010-06-04T21:08:53.560+02:00@onemorelurker1

LOL, I think I'm too focused on RA that I haven't really paid attention to the soundtrack (and I watched your vid at least 3 times! :S ).<br /><br />The waterboarding might have not be mentioned because its 'old' news? He discussed it previously for Spooks and might not be as interesting as the 1st time(¿?).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-53792082410660249042010-06-04T17:54:21.209+02:002010-06-04T17:54:21.209+02:00@tyme4t

One of my favourite vids on youtube is actually Matthew Macfadyen & Michael Gambon rehearsing "Henry IV". Its such an amazing "glimpse at the process".

Hi! I can understand, Phylly, wha...@Phylly3, Karen<br />Hi! I can understand, Phylly, what you mean by liking the "real" Richard, though I'm also aware, we only know his "public face" and not the intimate , private self, of course. Anyhow, I still go on thinking I like that "he" more than many of his characters.<br />And, yes, Karen , I too find the torture scene in Spooks 7 more effective and disquieting than that in SB. Have a nice day, the two of you! Big hugs!Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-43030882689369431712010-06-04T08:33:02.472+02:002010-06-04T08:33:02.472+02:00You're right, MG, it's strange he didn'...You're right, MG, it's strange he didn't mention SB's waterboarding in the interviews. But neither did the interviewers! Perhaps they forgot all the fuss about Lucas having been tortured that way, which got titles on the newspapers only 2 years ago? I remember having read about that even in italian newspapers, which was quite unusual, also because our TV doesn't show Spooks anymore.<br />As for the 2 scenes, I still find the Spooks one much more disturbing, probably because of the B/W, the editing and the real feeling of terror you can smell form these quick flashbacks (the same effect did to me the torture scenes in ser. 8). The SB waterboarding was "softer", and you can see that the second time most of the water is dropped far from his nose/mouth. But his reaction is very credible all the same. To reply to your question, I don't think this kind of torture is a 'softer and more humane way to get informations': the feeling of drowning and choking is one of the most scary nightmare, and yet an ancestral fear people cannot really avoid.<br />So kudos to Richard for having accepted to endure that once more.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379500796509756719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5114395886235179043.post-9913574181317570992010-06-04T07:48:07.177+02:002010-06-04T07:48:07.177+02:00Wow!

He really does go the extra mile for his art.<br />I adore his acting, but I am like you and am more fascinated in the "real" RA (or as much as we can discern about him). <br />I hope that once he achieves a certain level of fame, where he doesn't need to search for projects, but can pick and choose amongst the best offers to him, that he will be able to relax and enjoy his real life and have a good relationship and family life. I wish all the best for him because he brings such joy to my life!Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.com
