Seriously - he was robbed of that Oscar!

@@tylerpurrden AGREEEEEEEEE!!!!

@@tylerpurrden Idk Anthony Hopkins was pretty good in his movie. Cumberbatch has still many opportunities to get an Oscar if he continues to play roles like that.

@@twentyfivemelody of course, Anthony Hopkins is always at the very least 'pretty good' in everything he's in (he even managed to elevate the MCU, right?); my thing is listening to 'Batch (as he is referred to in my house cus we are very partial to him) talk about every little nuanced thing he pulled outta his hat for this role, he's just the best - I thought it was completely bananas (putting it mildly 🤬) that he didn't get the gold for Imitation Game, which is one of the best historical biopics ever made! But then last year I saw him in The Electrical Life Of Louis Wain, and it instantly became my favorite film of all time, and cemented him as my favorite living actor. And that movie didn't get talked about by anybody for anything, which is beyond absurd to me. So maybe I'm a wee bit biased 😹

@@tylerpurrden I don’t think you’re being biased. He is that much of a phenomenal actor. Easily at the very top with the greats. I think “The Electrical Life of Louis Wain” debuted with other phenomenal Cumberbatch movies so it got the short end of the stick. But seriously the Batch was robbed in the Oscars. He definitely was the most deserving for his role as Phil Burbanks.

exactly. i always knew benedict was quite emotionally intelligent , but tom holland is having such a great conversation here too. impressed.

This is exactly what I feel after watching the movie. Phil's death really felt more like a relief than loss, especially when his Mom gave Rose the jewelry. I know he grew bad, but it's still sad to remember how tragic his life was.

@@mithas.2609 yeah, the jewelry part stuck to me too. like it was the funeral and she straight away brought the jewelry for Rose. at least try to mourn a little bit? lol George never dared to reach out either, which was almost entirely Phil's fault but it's still kinda sad that he showed potential to change but it was already too late for him.

@@soil80 yes... phil was a victim no matter what.

my brother was a phil and when he died i was so relieved.

I was just about to comment the same thing, spot on!!!

Their relationship was so amazing to watch. Kodie and Benedict were such interesting characters

He was being genuinely kind towards Peter towards the end. Wasn't he?

@North M. To me it seems like Peter never really thought about his feelings towards him. At the end, he just moved on.

All of this, plus the fact we are further blessed by the wonderful rapport these two clearly have from previously working together gifts us this singular interview of which I wish there was a whole series!

It works because Strange was first a reknown medic before he was Sorcerer Supreme, his humanity is the temper that bridles his impatient brilliance and he recognises Peter has a capable mind albeit in a difficult teenager with supah powarrrghs .

Only one of them is legitimately terrifying.

Do you know where those actors live?

I was you.Wasnt sure if I wanted to watch it..not my kind of movies for lack of better words. But I’m so glad I did.What a great film and what incredible performance by all,and Mr Cumberbatch was exceptional as Phil.

What was the accident that Bronco Henry died in?

@@Kvitka777 in the book it mentions Phill witnesses Bronco getting trampled on in a stampede of I assume cows.

Try and do a British accent on a word and see how it feels, even if it sounds strange. You don’t think in another accent, you still think in your own. It’s a learned technical skill until you practice enough to make it feel natural. And if you add a character choice, it might feel more like a specific character. Ben and Tom might hear American characters they’ve played. But in the interview they’re just talking normally. Ben just imitated a random American, same as anyone might imitate something they heard.

There are actually a lot of them

yes please

His next movie is a biography of Fred Astaire. Once the world sees him dancing and killing that role his star will rise even more

@@brendansheehy8124 I have not heard of that before, now I cannot wait to see it!

I didn't realize it was abusive either, I thought that bronco was an older mentor figure and it was more a case of one-sided, unrequited romantic love by Phil. it seems I haven't paid enough attention (entirely my fault) so I shall re-watch the movie again with that mindset.

Benzaiten No worries… also the fact that they got close when they were on the mountain and snowed in… and peter asked phil if they had to undress to keep warm… it seems to me that that might have been their first sexual encounter… it is a little stretch of the imagination but thats the beauty of the film. nonetheless i feel sorry for phil that he was that stunted but nobody has to be a gaslighting manipulative asshole…

@@JeffsGoldblum also interesting to consider; had Phil not died would he have sexually abused Peter? or made other advances? as is often said, those who were victims of violence or abuse often grow up doing the same to others. but what I liked, as was said during the discussion, is that Phil's backstory wasn't presented as an excuse or free pass for his misdeeds. I really dislike when we're presented with the sob-story of the 'villain' in entertainment and suddenly everything they did is forgiven and forgotten because they suffered as well. this truly was not the case here in this nuanced movie.

@Benzaiten yes i agree

It is inherently abusive for a child to be in a romantic or sexual relationship with an adult. 15 is a child.

Yeah it's a strange one to work out. Especially if the younger person has feelings of love towards the older person. But then it depends what kind of person the older is, are they manipulating the younger, taking advantage of their feelings. Or are they genuinely feeling something too. A lot of people said they didn't like Call Me By Your Name for that reason, but as far as i remember in the book, Elio is 17 and Oliver is 22 or something. Anyway, nothing's that clear cut black and white, good amd bad. Just like the characters in this film. Phil isn't bad and Peter isn't good, they both have issues and I honestly feel for Phil so much because of what he's gone through and how much he's suffered - whether through abuse or just lost love. He's traumatized and he's a product of a society that would prob have physically abused, maybe even killed him if he's lived his true life. He probably would've ended up like Jack Twist. A really really compelling amd thought provoking movie & book.

@@bearclaws5671 second that. It's abuse because the adult is preying on the child, whether consciously or not. The power dynamic cannot be equal because of the difference in age. Age differences matter significantly more at younger ages than they do at older ones.

Tom Holland and I are the same age. I can't speak for him (obviously) but I know for me and a lot of my friends, something clicks once we reach our mid twenties and we start to become fully aware of certain affects of age difference in various relationships. I certainly know that I now look at some of the people that were in my life from my teens and early 20's and question their mindset/motivations.

It does *not* need a spoiler alert - people shouldn't be watching long form in-depth discussions of movies they haven't seen yet! The whole point is reflecting on the material, which you cannot do without viewing it
