I know. I'm in love

Barrow Alaska California ??? xD

ItsVeachieBro she's a lucky sister😭😭😭😭 One of the sadness of all

Some people on this thread like that Alabama shit

@@Veachie I have yet to see the movie but I’m finding out the plot with all the wee Benedict scenes. Ugh so sad

it's not the accent, he just plays TOTALLY different character and thus the change of voice.

:’( where’s my sherlock?

@@sourcherrypie WITHOUT the accent...

@@BloodNote well for Benedict, he was putting on an accent.

i remembered that dialogue when i saw him as Dr. strange :3

Life is a paradox, mostly.

oh do your research i’m not a hero i’m a high functioning sociopath MERRY CHRISTMAS

Chris Cooper is a treasure

I agree! Kind of. LOL!!

Honestly he summed up the big problem with this film and the reason why it's so un-enjoyable.

I loved him in the role

Nah. All been done before.

+Dinathellama Martin Freeman niether. Look up him singing!!!

+gothicghost they can all sing so where's my Sherlock musical bbc??

Well there's one thing he can't.... say "penguins" ;)

How about an accurate Oklahoma accent?

Thats how it is in many families. My cousins and i are all in our 20s have full time jobs some with their own families but we are still the "kids". It is what it is i guess.

My son is three but he will always be my kid even when he’s 50 lol

I think that’s how most parents refer to their children. My great grandma still called my grandmother her kid until the day she died.

@@hockema56 The movie is based on a Broadway play. In the play the characters of Ivy and Little Charles are actually in their twenties so that might have something to do with it as well.

You stop being a kid when your parent dies. Did you see the 100-year-old mother who gave sweets that she collected from a restaurant to her 80-year-old daughter?

Sorry, who's son died? But I totally agree with you that the bus scene was amazing....really any scene between Chris and Ben was exceptional :)

And it isn’t even really his son! His wife cheated on him with his brother and got pregnant, so little Charles is actually his nephew. And he knows this. Knows all about the betrayal but keeps it to himself and raises and loves little Charles as if he were his own. A truly selfless person, living his whole life for the people he loves, no matter what mistakes they make or promises they break. A real man, husband and father in the classical sense. Something that seems to get more and more rare as time goes on...

@@hockema56 Beverly wasn’t Charles brother. Beverly was Violet husband

In the original play, I think it was Mattie Faye that hints how Charles (the dad) "shoots blanks". She was always envious of Violet and Beverly and how they could conceive. So Mattie Faye seduced Bev for her own selfish reasons, cheating on Charles, conceiving little Charles, and betraying Violet.

Even when he speaks here he let's on he knows: "whatever faults he had", "generous place in your heart for your own son" Chris Cooper delivered on his character so well

Indy Wanderer too many bullies in this world overall in this life

Verbal abuse that they endured when they was young from their family... and the cycle doesn't break.. that hurt they take it oh their kids... I should know my mom is like that

Has any1 told u that you look like the Cinema Snob?

He was incredible in American Beauty and Adaptation (won an Oscar for that)

Matthew Carle yes, he's great. He totally slays this scene

My favorite movie of his is Lone Star from 1996.

+gothicghost me

+gothicghost They were both in The Hobbit trilogy. Unfortunately they couldn't find a part in the script in which Bilbo Baggins could break into song with Smaug the dragon

Who's not?😂

Caroline beesus he always plays geniuses, and many geniuses are introverted

His character in Star Trek was super evil and not socially awkward at all. But I guess you could say he was also an evil genius, but I think the movie focused more on how he's like a savage. Check it out if you haven't already, it's really good :)

Caroline beesus Well, now, with Patrick Melrose we can say : HE IS THE BEST ACTOR OF THE FUCKING WORLD❤️

He's good at playing attractive dorky characters, lol.

Well he's good at it. But he can do comedy as well. He played a nerdy character in starter for 10 and he played a police officer in 4 lions. He did live plays at theatre as Frankenstein's characters and Shakespeare's characters. He's very versatile. You just need to watch his other works rather than the main stream ones.

I don't think I could be friends with your friend.

+Javier Escobar Meryl Streep was soooo good in this movie I wanted to pull her hair back and slap her in the face multiple times.

cate blanchett won over streep that year not lawrence

Jerome Moody I feel the same! 😭

Jerome Moody geez i feel you!!!!!!! HE'S JUST TOO. PRECIOUS.

same

yep, he is certainly blessed in so many ways....and , yep I feel the same

Indeed

DON'T!! Watch the play first. The movie is drastically less powerful than the play.. I've played in and worked on the play. Trust me, you're gonna thank me!

Christian Letellier wow there's a play??? I'm so glad you told me, I know Benedict's background is in theater, so I bet he's flawless on stage!! Now I really have to see it, is it online???

He's not in the play, the actor that plays Little Charles is Ian Bradford. But the play is what the movie is based off of. There's a housemaid and a Sherrif who play HUGE roles in the story (which were cut in the movie) and Bev (The Patriarch of the house) is played by Tracy Letts' dad (Tracy is the author of both the play and the screen adaption). It's so much better than the movie! It won many TONY awards that year. It's so good! But, on the other hand, if you're a Benedict Cumberbatch fan, watch the film. The actors are great, and it would be an amazing movie to me, if I wasn't so attached/ used to the play!

omg

SkyBlue 🤢😷

Their relationship is the only one that is full of true love and respect, but it has its flaw like the rest of the family. They’re an incest couple, but it’s seen as less disgusting and more sympathetic.

Calm down.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Half bro, and she can't have kids anyway...so hmm, they're already in love, so...ummmm Eesh, they just need to run away.

+littleeva Yep. One of the toughest movies I had to sit through.

see I do and I don't want to see it!

daria vorobyeva r. t.

oh yeah

Not yet, I've been waiting for it to get on Netflix, but it's taking too long, so I'll probably just watch it next time I'm home alone

Awesome! Thanks!!!

Well, the movie is set in Oklahoma and the character (a quiet, shy, not necessarily smart dude, in contrast to most of Benedict’s roles) is presumably from there, so yes, he would have an American accent, even when singing.
