Very lovely video, been watching it repeatedly the past week :)
My favorite part is at the end when Lady Dedlock walks in on Tulkinghorn and Rosa, when the strings in the music comes to life and frames Honorias face , at 2:53
I'm not on board with Lady Dedlocks and Rosas relationship as it is represented here, I think it's more about finding that mother daughter thing she's missed out on... but I really love this vid too much to be too bothered by it ;)
@KatBjorky I'm really glad you like this :D Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. The relationship between Lady Dedlock and Rosa has been long guessed at and very much discussed. I've read many papers on the mother/daughter feeling that the pair shared and then I've read the suggestion of it crossing the boundaries into something more intimate. This was just an interpretation that I wanted to explore :) And I like a challenge! I love the film and the book!
@kitnkabootle Your welcome :D Interesting that you've read so much about it, it makes this video even more special. Nothing wrong with exploring different aspects.
I do find this version very interesting and I don't have anything against it but I already made my choice of what their relationship means to me:)
I definitely got the impression that Lady Dedlock liked girls as well as boys, and I've seen an analysis of the novel that suggests that Lady Dedlock is in love with Rosa and Esther is in love with Ada.
I really didn't get the whole "homosexual undertones", neither by reading the book nor watching the series or seeing this. To me the relationship between Lady Dedlock and Rosa is perfectly normal. Dickens coined the expression "boredom" on Lady Dedlock looking out the windows at Chesney Wold, and so of course she has to find a friend in whomever would be acceptable. I think it is a perfect portrayal of upper class Victorian women's hard life behind the perfect facade.
@Chjistopher I think so too. There's way too much interpretation there. Where are the scenes from? I've watched Bleak House on DVD... Did I miss something?
@dantilyable Some of us can find wonderful saphic undertones in anything. This was one interpretation. Feel free to interpret that Lady Dedlock was actually part vulcan and had returned from the future to live among humans and study their historical past. It's up to you! :D
Amazing. I'll agree that there is definitely a Sapphic vibe between Lady Dedlock and Rosa in this particular version that is lacking in the 1985 miniseries with Diana Rigg as well as the original novel. It's certain acting choices and the addition of suggestive lines.
Cool! I interpreted their relationship in a different way: that Lady Deadlock was trying to replace her lost daughter, or the memory of her, by trying to be as motherly as possible to her new maid. But when you edit the clips like that...I see what you mean, there definitely were some interesting undertones with the portrayals of those characters. Great video, you always manage to surprise me!
@AmidTheFallingSnow That is actually what Dickens would have you believe ;) But I much prefer to give it this scandalous side instead! I am glad you liked it! And yes yes yes I can make recs for you :D
I have never read this, nor have I seen it, but the fact that Gillian Anderson seems to have a lead and is (according to your story) crushing a bit on a female maid; makes this a very appealing show to me. ;D Brilliant job on the video. Does Lady Dedlock really have a fling with Rosa? Or is it, let's say, left to the reader's/watcher's imagination? ;)
@PrincessSunlynn It's very much left to the viewers imagination. I'm not even sure if Lady Dedlock is meant to play it that way. If it's meant to be another type of relationship. But Gillian plays it VERY gay. And I love every second of it.
@chatte578 My Story? The secret is that Lady Dedlcok is having an affair on her husband with her lady's maid. Gasp. The real story? Lady Dedlock got pregnant by a man who disappeared. The baby "died" at birth and twenty years later she is married to a man and the secret resurfaces and threatens to make a mockery of the Dedlock name.
I really liked this! And I think it would have been my interpretation of it too! Most definately! I never watched Bleak House, so I'm only guessing that Lady Dedlocks feelings were quite intense ones? Love Gillian Anderson too! :)
I love this :D <3
