Very beautiful ... I do, however, think that the new version conveyed all of these sentiments without using words - that music! I would like to see this version in its entirety.
One blessing they had whilst making this series is that it was clearly a far nicer summer than any we've had in recent times. Up north here, it would have taken eons to shoot these scenes had it been any of the last four so-called summers.
You folks who likes this series should read the book "The Secret History". Donna Tartt --the writer of the book-- was greatly inspired by the book which this series was based on. =)
@Shufei ,I wondered about those sidelong glances.I had come to think Aloysius was looking for his next conquest-climbing the social ladder,as it were.
I daresay I saw photos of him in possession of a royal personage by 1950, if I recall correctly. He may be now overseas triffling with an emperor or sultan or somesuch. His attentions are fickle, always looking upwards. We may agree, I believe, he's just that kind of bear!
This is the blessing, and the curse, of his "charming" glamour.
@Shufei He is,indeed,that kind of bear.He seems to have absorbed the Marchmain charm,but carries it much the easier.We recall the look he gives Charles,as he passes him on the barbershop stairs,at their first meeting.
You're quite right. It was wasted on me at age ten. But I did find Charles and Sebastian's friendship very beautiful, because it was the first time I had ever seen love between two men depicted with such grace.
Whoops a Daisy : did I make a few grammar mistakes ? Oh Dear dear !!! What a to do Jena Austen's another one for Upper Middleys.

Evelyn Waugh was mad about aristocracy, and here he deifies them, and golden youth. A rather lower middle class obcession I'm afraid.

One person wishes it couldn't always be like this, always alone, always summer, the fruit always ripe...

For me Charles & Sebastian Still together, the image of my teen age memories.
They still playing in Brides head. Always Happy, always together.

And just what does Aloysius think of all this?A voice we have yet to hear from.
holmsiantype 2 years ago
Really? He's been speaking loud and clear throughout the series to me. ;)
He was most put out by being stuffed in that crate, saying some rather untoward comments about Bridey's hairdo.

A wonderful wonderful depiction of a graceful and beautiful friendship unadultered by the worries of the world's basic human needs.

My, my! I should have known I was gay when I watched this at age ten. It's the gay boy's romance.

If that's all you got out of it then it was wasted on you.
