Ben Whishaw in Brideshead Revisited clip 1 

And Bright Star! He is the perfect Keats

I could not agree more!!

How you doin?

we're just gonna cross the danish girl outta there cuz fr i wanted to slap the shit out of him

@@hanazahran76 And Suffragette. Genuinely could have murdered his character. He's supposed to ne unlikable there though, and he did a fantastic job.

I somehow cannot recall a similar scene from the 1981 production.....Maybe I am wrong but i do not think so.

@@rupert99 Sebastian is not so clearly gay in the other version.

@@mikeq7134 in many ways in the 1981 version he is even more gay, but there is nothing this explicit. Yes I would go along with that. (And he is much more stylish! He resembles a lot more some aristocratic gays I have met over the years).

It was better when it was left more ambiguous as in the 81 version. As a romantic friendship of 2 young boys before they're really mature. They were only meant to be 19 and had little contact with women, attending all male public school & university. Because the writer had these experiences it's just assumed.

@@ODessa002 In those times kisses on the lips esp between family were not seen as vulgar

I find the 1981 adaptation beautiful too

I find the '81 adaptation beautiful, but the theme music overbearing

I thought it was his Catholic guilt over his homosexual tendencies that drove him to drink..

@@redstar7292 it was all of it. That's what drove him to drugs and alcoholism. I think Charles truly broke him, though. Not intentionally, ofc. But we times the people you love most will hurt you. Charles should have caught on and avoided the whole relationship, but he was kinda selfish and self centered in that regard.

Sidney Frederickson Read the book quite some time ago but I think I remember it was the reverse? Charles liked Julia because she was the female version of Sebastian.

Charles admits in the novel that his attraction to Julia stems from her similarities to Sebastian. At this point in the novel, she was barely a blip on his radar - the allure of Sebastian was all his own, and, while he was attracted to Julia early on, he didn’t really care at all about her until years later when Sebastian was long out of the picture and they meet again.

Paulina Enck whoah. I should read the book.

I just found the book from a basket full of old books and bought it. Now im so excited to read :))

Ben Whishaw there personifies Charles description of Sebastian in the book "by his beauty, which was arresting" perfectly

Agree!

I prefer this over the miniseries although I know not many feel the same.

***** That's just the magic of Ben Whishaw, Matthew Goode, Evelyn Waugh and Julian Jarrold. ;P

+Abi Watson Maybe it's really deep and beautiful - or maybe you're just twelve.

+Rainy Jane I see nothing wrong with being twelve again- less responsibilities, none of the burdens of life.

And now he's Matthew clairmont in a discovery of witches which is his calling I think he's amazing in it xxx

Absolutely classic in A Single Man with Colin Firth. have a tissue though

The ending is horrible.

EN Fingerhut Watch the 1981 series instead.

@@goldfinger4953 horrible as in done bad or as in sad?

@@tijanabozovic3Sad. Very very sad :(

@@ann7169 PUNTA DEL ESTE URUGUAY

It would have been possible with either of them but for the stifling influence of the “smother”

Well said. Beautiful. Thank you.

I felt like I just watched the movie twice reading this lol

I literally cried reading your coment. No joke, real tears.

I always felt, and much more so after reading the novel that Charles is the villain of this piece and at times is sheer bastard. Never satisfied as Antony tells him late in the novel that far from being the lamb to the slaughter and not willful enough to resist the Marchmain's, it is Charles himself who pursues the family. I'm never sure why, possibly to fill a hole in his upbringing with no mother and a cold, distant father. He is well educated and looks down on the working classes which becomes evident after firmly being secured as a close friend of the entire Marchmain family. The only time you see Charles happy is with Sebastian during their first year at Oxford, after that he slowly shuts down and becomes colder and in the end as distant as his father was. He helps in the destruction of Sebastian, he hates his wife and has no interest at all in his children - to the point of putting off seeing his infant daughter for the first time! He could have kept Julia even after Lord Marchmain's deathbed repentance if had been less forth-fully critical of Catholicism. He must realise that Julia is not a"heathen" even Sebastian tells him that during their first summer, but continues to call the families concern for their fathers soul "mumbo-jumbo". At the end, as his opening narration states, he is old, loveless and purely going through the motions of life. One suspects he wouldn't be devastated to not return from the War. By the end of the novel I really did not like Charles. Speaks volumes about Waugh considering it is semi-autobiographical!

@@mjptrapster Yes, why was Charles attracted to Sebastian and what in the world did he see in Julia, a tedious, self-absorbed, completely uninteresting person? I always felt Charles lacked a soul and then he slowly fades away into nothingness.

+Callum McPherson it seems like a gay lovestory at first, but then it comes out as a straight lovestory between charles and sebastian' s sister

Brideshead is NOT a novel about Charles and Sebastian! It's a novel about Charles, the erosion of the classic British aristocratic country-house life and an outsiders slow acceptance of Roman Catholocism. Sebastian is the door that opens Charles, who as one of the educated urban middle-class, to a world he would never otherwise be a party to. Julia is far more important to the story.

It was never supposed to be a love triangle, as Julia wasn’t supposed to be a romantic interest until the second half, but the film decided to change all that for no good reason

@@avalilianagord9090 Yes, and completely and utterly boring. I kept waiting for a reunion of Charles and Sebastian but it never happened. Julia, does anyone really care about her?

@@mjptrapster Sebastian is the love lost, the beauty departed. Julia for Charles is a very poor substitute but as good and as close as he could get once Sebastian disappeared.

i wish in a way the 2 men had switched characters

That film was really messed up. And no. Not even the same story.

yes she is

that's not a rumor, it's a fact. and it's been confirmed. he's got the playful personality and looks for it. so I can't wait!

Jeffrey De rousse It's odd how this isn't a huge news item. I mean, when that Borat guy was up for the part, the internet couldn't shut up about it. Here, the role has been cast - and something like 10 people know about it? It's a crazy ol' world!

They just announced that he's been cast. I think they'll wait until they've actually started filming to finally make it official so that way they can show some teaser trailer clips.

Jeffrey De rousse Oddly enough, the Freddie Mercury film was listed in his Wikipedia page's filmography in mid December of 2013. Gosh, it's like I had classified information for two weeks! Mostly, I'm happy to know the Freddie Mercury film is a little closer to happening.

BARILOCHE USHUAIA ARGENTINA

agreed besides anthony and jeremy are better actors and portrayed sebastian and Charles infinitely better

I think this film is about Ben Whishaw

BARILOCHE USHUAIA ARGENTINA

Right, Anthony Andrews is wayy better as Sebastian and it was just so wonderful.

En lineas generales si;era mejor.Pero Whishaw es mas sutil q Andrews.

nunca jajaja
