令人期待的Parade's End ^____^

劇照開始滿天飛了，好令人期待！


特愛金髮的Benny～～^^
只是，又是一個陰鬱的角色阿>"<

本來猶豫著要不要裁圖，但想想反正我的視線焦點也只會在右邊，有裁沒裁都一樣吧:D


感覺BC先生跟馬兒很不熟XD


突然想起之前某篇採訪，Benny提到希望40歲前可以當爹...


我真的覺得，Benny臉架中塞的bumpers讓人很不習慣>"<


孩子，你的領帶...


好喜歡Benny這身裝扮:D


好憂鬱的氛圍...


超愛這張劇照，拿來當桌面！




穿軍服的Benny好帥！>/////<


BC先生，我能不能去應徵你的服裝小妹，負責幫你整理領帶與帽子？>"<

其他劇照請點這裡。

Benny並非理所當然的拿下Christopher Tietjens這個角色，其中一個原因是，這部片開拍前Benny並不是這麼有名，所以HBO的大老闆有所遲疑。
導演Susanna White提到：'There was a famous breakfast at The Ivy when HBO said, "Who is this Benedict Cumberbatch?" And we said, "Trust us,he's a truly great actor and by the time Parade's End has come out everyone will have heard of him."'
該說你們好眼光嗎？BC現在真的是紅遍大半邊地球了~~ :D

至於Christopher Tietjens的造型，Benny是這麼說的：'I wore a fat suit under my clothes and had bumpers in my cheeks,' the actor reveals.They attach like a brace to your teeth to make your face look plumper.'
的確，劇照中的Christopher看起來，還真的是....很壯....Orz

另外，針對Parade's End的臨演，BBC做了一系列的採訪。

強烈建議看一下BC的訪談，其中內容與文字的密度真的會讓人很挫折，但相對來說，能夠幫助我們更清楚BC怎麼樣定位Christopher這個角色。尤其他在訪談中談到，這幾乎是他最喜愛的角色（我相信第一名還是Sherlock的！*^^*），就更加讓人對這部影集產生好奇。

BC是這麼說的：

"I have such a huge affection for Christopher, more so than almost any other character I've ever played. I sympathise with his care, sense of duty and virtue, his intelligence in the face of hypocritical, self serving mediocrity, his appreciation of quality and his love for his country. He mourns a way of life that is being eroded by money, schemers and politicians, ineffectual military boobies and the carelessness of man's industrialised progress. He is a noble if accidental hero fighting for relevance, a man out of time who is struggling with political and economic injustice. That's what makes him relevant in what could be dismissed as 'merely another Toff in a period drama'.

顯然Christopher對於當時的局勢所產生的憂心與作為，觸動了Benny對於自己所處的西歐政治與經濟現狀的敏感。所以後面他又提到：
"We're living through a time where we are fighting wars fostered by politics, admittedly not on the same scale as the First World War, but with equally tragic realities for our soldiers and their families. We are living in a world where financial and political bonds in Europe are just falling apart, we're living in time of political hypocrisy and there aren't that many really good people and Christopher is just that: a good man.

"His care for his country, his past his family, Michael, Sylvia, Macmaster, Groby, the land and the great cedar tree, horses and his men on the front line all lead me to love this fat, baggy bolster of a blockhead with all my heart. It's what distinguishes him from being 'yet another toff' to being quietly but truly heroic. His virtue and diligence but also the fights and principles he stands for are in many ways modern and thoroughly relevant to today, which again salvage him and the drama from being a nostalgia piece. His concern for the environment, the structure of a family, the corrupting elements of money and politics and our move away from a sustainable society into a consumer society of short term interest are all contemporary issues. Maybe they have been since the industrial revolution but we are a century on since his time and we are still fighting wars, raping the planet, living fractured family lives and living with the consequences ever more potently.

原諒我實在無法摘要的更多。閱讀BC的訪談總會有這樣的問題，我很難替他的訪談摘要些什麼、刪減些什麼。一方面是因為在駕馭文字的能力上遠遠不足，另一方面也許是起於一種私心，想要讓作為閱聽者的讀者們，用你們自己的方式，完整的去認識／理解他（的想法）。

剛巧看到翻譯，請點這裡。


BC：請大家要準時收看Parade's End喔！（拜託BBC先告訴我們到底哪天要播！）

PS：根據可靠消息，目前只確定是8/18-8/24的這段期間會播出，至於是哪一天？哪個時段？恐怕得等BBC占完卜、丟完龜殼吧？（是有這麼難排時間嗎？>"<）
