Alan Rickman's Snape goes down in the annals of film as the one of the most tragic heroes, self-sacrificing, loyal, pained, misunderstood until the end.
He was an abused and unloved child. But he also had Hope. He was a friend and a guide. But he was also deeply alone. Goodbye illusory dreams, He was severely harassed And was almost killed. He was abandoned. It naively went wrong But he was not a killer. He was in love. But also broken. He was a spy And a genius But also a teacher. And a suicidal asshole But also a protector and a savior. He was sentenced to death By his own mentor. He was hated by everyone As he saved them every time, again and again, He was always alone The false traitor, The outcast, The betrayed, But unstoppable. Shadow keeper, Suffering in silence, Giving everything and every time Without anything in return. Because he was a Prince, Because he was a Hero. It was Severus Snape at the doe, The bravest man the World have ever known The one who loved without any Love. After all this Time ? Always!
1:20 Alan Rickman filmed that part 20 times!!! And every time he swished his cloak in the same way and laid it on the floor In the EXACT same way. Cool, right?
What does Severus mean at the beginning with: I don’t want to do this anymore. Does he mean that he doesn’t want to spy for both Voldemort and Dumbledore anymore?
I think it was a number of things. From prince's tales, we learn dumbledore convinced Snape to kill him, for Snape, dumbledore was the first mentor for him,he's also the only friend he's had that truly understands him, then all of a sudden he has to kill him for the sake of the world, not only this, not only this, but he has to tell Harry, a boy he's watched grow from the age of eleven to sixteen that he has to let Voldemort kill him, the same Harry Snape agreed to protect so Lily's death wasn't in vain, the same Harry who Snape knew Lily had died protecting.
