I feel like someone must have stuck him in this after I watched it for the first time, because I can't remember him at all. But now I've seen how brilliant he is it's impossible NOT to notice him.
I've definitely watched this movie three times... not recently though. And now, after watching sherlock, I find this. What am I supposed to do with this? How did I not realize it was him? How could I forget those eyes? Those cheekbones? That voice?... Man he is attractive....
@Carmenliebtmusik I have the exact same problem! I feel a bit teary-eyed because I watched this movie so many times and yet I've only noticed him now! ;A;
Wow I watched this movie before the whole "Sherlock Benedict Cumberbatch" thing and I remember these scenes and I remember thinking her husband was so adorable and the actor played it brilliantly then come to find out it is Benedict Cumberbatch and I just get a whole new view and feel for these scenes. Its like watching them again for the first time. The same thing happened to me with Martin Freeman and "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" as well.
I just know what Mary(Scarlet) says about the sex with William(Benedict) and I feel so bad because she basically says it was disgusting and sloppy and bad and then I'm just like "Aw Benedict I bet you have great sex, don't worry!"
I remember seeing this just a few months after watching Atonement and recognising Juno Temple, but I had no idea that was the same guy who played Paul Marshall. Lovely, versatile actor.
It's these moments where i wish with all my heart and soul to go into acting one day. O///O To be with Ben in a movie...*impregnation through thought*
I was just randomly clicking on this clip and "Aaaah! I've seen this movie a long time ago..." I saw bbc's Sherlock Holmes (loved it) and didn't recognize him at all.
Oh, also? I know the entire film isn't particularly historically accurate, but the music at the beginning of this clip sounds very much like Irish or Scottish folk music; it's most likely that in reality they would have been dancing to English folk music at this time.
Still, Benedict's grin at around 0:10-0:12 is infectiously lovely :)
I know it's history somewhat, but when she ditches Ben for the king I was like 'WHAT!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE!!!!??? IN WHAT KINDA WORLD DOES THIS HAPPEN IN?!' He needs way better roles! (In films of course x ) I hope they keep Sherlock Asexual. I love SherlockxWatson but I always think Slash should go to the fans, hint romance and let us write and create videos.
I just can't get enough of Benedict! I even wrote a series of Sherlock, even though the BBC don't accept scripts from shows that are already made. Just a shame really :( Love Benedict :) My favourite project from him has to be Sherlock + Hawking :) x
@maricimo If, I knew his address. Which would never happen. And yeah, they could be. I have twitter and I told Mark Gattis. I didn't send a message, just a reply. I might send him one ;D
@VeggetableMonster As much as I enjoy interpreting him as gay in fanfiction, there's no evidence of it in any of the canons. If the books had been written nowdays, then I would agree with you, but back then the amount of touching and emotionality in Holmes and Watson's friendship was normal. The closest Holmes has ever come to being gay was RDJ's interpretation of his character... but in the actual writing of the Guy Ritchie film, he was over-heterosexualized, so it balances out.
I completely agree with your thoughts, but I was referring to BBC's adaptation of Sherlock Holmes.
Where it IS established that he is homosexual.
I apologize for not including that I was referring to BBC's Sherlock, although I did assume it would go without saying since this is a Benedict Cumberbatch video.
@VeggetableMonster He doesn't if you listen properly. He says that he's "married to his work" which implies he's actually more asexual! He doesn't want any relationship. There is no mention of him saying "Oh, by the way, John, I'm gay." It's just an ongoing joke that they have; they say that in interviews. (:
not really...he never says he's gay...I rather think he's asexual. Or maybe he only wants to be asexual (I mean, he claims to be a sociapath, still he likes John a lot as his companion and cares for him).
I don't think sherlock is gay in the bbc version even though you can't really proof he's not.
@ReijiAoeGirl666 It never says straight out that Sherlock is gay. It's fanon (fan canon) that he's asexual, which is a lack of desire for sex. Plain and simple. VeggetableMonster is cray-cray.
@sweeneysgirl324 It is not fanon that Sherlock's asexual. There are many fics where he's attracted to men, and some fics where he's asexual; each individual fic has its own interpretation. One of the lovely things about the Sherlock fandom is that there's no consensus. The undisputed king of the Sherlock fanfiction world is wordstring's Paradox Series, amirite? And he's John-sexual in it. So.
@VeggetableMonster What you conveniently edited out of that dialogue was the part immediately afterward where Sherlock, thinking that John is coming on to him, awkwardly rejects him, explaining that he's "married to his work" - implying asexuality, at least in practice - while John stutters and tells him that he didn't mean it like that, and that "it's all fine" (he accepts whatever Sherlock's sexual orientation or feelings are).
@VeggetableMonster (cont.) In the pilot, Sherlock goes even further and says that not only is he married to his work, but that "everything else is transport". That means that his entire life and lifestyle consists of solving crimes and transporting himself places (via taxi, one would suppose) in order to solve more crimes. Sex and romance are not things that he's interested in - because they're not crime mysteries - and he certainly doesn't have time for them. The implication is asexuality.
@aintgotthatswing I read an article with Lara Pulver (who's playing Irene Adler) and she said 'I don't have to worry that I am SITTING ON BENEDICTS LAP NAKED...' :D
