Re: Parade's End
I think it hasn't been posted yet. I read some of it. I don't know much about film technique but it shows how sophisticated and well thought-out the whole series is.
P.S. Still laughing at your new sig.

Re: Parade's End
No nomination for Benedict at the BAFTAs. I really don't understand this. No award for Hawking, none for Sherlock and now not even a nomination. It's a shame.

Re: Parade's End
An absolute disgrace...AGAIN.
But why are we surprised?
Always makes me think of the Rolling Stones song, the line: If I stuck a pen into my heart and bled right here on the page...would it satisfy you?
Really, what does this man have to do, to get the recognition he deserves...

Re: Parade's End
My thoughs exactly. If they had snubbed PE as a whole because they didn't like it … but to nominate the film and Rebecca Hall (deservedly) and ignore Benedict …

Re: Parade's End
Finally PE will be shown on German TV (as "Der letzte Gentleman", i.e. "The Last Gentleman"). Thank you, arte.

Re: Parade's End
This is nice . However, realistically speaking, I don't think he has much chance to win against Michael Douglas and Al Pacino. Still, even a nomination is a very good thing

Re: Parade's End
No, he doesn't have a realistic chance but after all it's more than they did at the BAFTAs. And even though it's in the States.

Re: Parade's End
I don't have time to read all 20 pages of this thread, so a sorry if this has already been asked. But what is with his mouth in Parade's End? It's like he's holding cotton swabs in his cheeks, or wearing false teeth! His smile looks weird, he keesp making a funny face when he's not smiling... Where they just trying to make his face look less... nice? Or minimize his cheekbones or something? I'm finding that whatever it is he and director are going for here is really distracting from my enjoyment of the series, that plus the terrible dye job in his hair. I mean honestlly...

Re: Parade's End
He was supposed to be very fat, so they padded out his cheeks.
The hair was because of him just having come from filming something else, with a different dye job.
Things like that don't distract me from a good series.

Re: Parade's End
In the books Christopher Tietjens is described as having blonde hair. Therefore he dyed his hair blonde.

Re: Parade's End
I'm just glad Benedict with blonde hair doesn't distract me at all, or I would have had a severe problem with TFE...
