One of the most powerful threads that runs through this show is the question, “What if everything you thought you knew was false?” These characters are constantly having their entire worldviews completely shifted. Brody is driven to action when he discovers that the most powerful people in America are abusing their power, lying about warcrimes, covering up their mistakes. In his confessional video he talks about the murder of Issa and his schoolmates as “a stain on the soul of this nation.” He acts not because he hates America but because he loves it, a love that runs through his veins but that is seriously challenged by these discoveries. Jess, too, experiences this when she finally, after six years, decides to let Brody go. To accept that she was the wife of dead Marine. And then he’s alive. And all of a sudden she’s the wife of an ex-POW Marine. Her kids, too. Think about Chris, who never really knew his father, and who had come to see Mike in that role. Then Brody comes back. Everything is changed. And obviously Carrie. One of her greatest assets is her complete conviction in the truth of her beliefs. That “An American prisoner of war has been turned.” Then that he hadn’t, then that he had, then that he hadn’t. She had never been “so sure and so wrong.” But of course she was so right. The quote “And Ye Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free” does in fact mark the halls of CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. It’s in the main entrance, the first thing you see when you step foot in that building. But if this show shows you anything it’s that truth is a malleable thing. It can turn on a dime. My truth may be your lie. And something can be both true and false at the same time. Carrie and Brody chiefly speak in veiled truths and lies. You can watch their bar meet in “New Car Smell” or even their interrogation in “Q&A” and everything they say is both true and false. It goes back to their wearing “Carrie” and “Brody” as masks because that’s the only way they can see each other clearly. In that same vein, Carrie and Brody are constantly lying to each other because it’s the only way they can see the truth.
01:58 Were you happy with how Brody’s story ended? The main reason being to inform them exactly why and how Brody died, which right now has to be kept as a very tightly held secret. The last thing the Revolutionary Guard or the Ayatollahs in Tehran would want to hear is that this was actually a CIA operation. It has to play out that Brody was out of his mind when he killed Akbari. That has to be the official story so that whatever delicate peace negotiations transpire can move forward. I think they did a really good job with it. I knew he had become a popular character so I wanted him served well. I wanted him to go out with a bang. I wanted him to have a grand finale. I didn’t expect a hero’s finale because Brody is not a hero, he’s become too much of a tragic figure over the course of three seasons; he’s a damaged man. I just wanted it to resonate, I wanted it to be moving, and be very affecting in the way he goes to his death with so much unsaid, so much undone. I wanted it to really register with the audience - the pain between himself and Carrie and she sees him go to his death. I just hoped we would honor all those things. He told Carrie he didn’t want her to be there. But in those last moments he tries to find her and does. In the moment he’s being executed in a foreign land in front of strangers, it’s very clear at he would love a familiar face to look at, and even better that it’s Carrie’s - a woman that he loves. That’s really what I was concentrating on, trying to do that in a credible way while having the life choked out of me. I was concentrating on the minutia of acting. 3:30 We can say that Nick Brody was one of the best-built characters in history - alongside Carrie, Saul, Quinn, Dar Adal and Virgil, Fara, Max, Astrid... It would be possible to clarify the following doubts: - I would like to see Homeland reveal how the CIA explained Brody in Iran and his death to the American press. Clearly, Javadi being able to take credit for capturing Brody helped his cause in Iran, but did the US government reveal Brody's role in Akbari's murder? Was his name cleared for the CIA attack? I'd love to know what you thought. - Another loose thread: Paul Franklin and the murder of the "real" CIA bomber. You just did that ... why ?? Carrie was publicly humiliated, beaten, doped, shot and put her life on the line countless times without hesitation, just to make others see Brody as she saw him ... and succeeded. Abu Nazir, the CIA, Jessica and the show's own audience, no one came close to seeing Brody with the clarity Carrie has always seen. Carrie has always read Brody like no one else. Ah, Carrie's dialogue with Javadi was awesome, it will be one of the most memorable moments of the series, without a doubt! "And what you wanted, which was for everyone to see in him what you see. That has happened. Everyone sees him through your eyes now ..." - How did Carrie see Brody? and how did the US come to see it? It's the world?
That sentence at the beggining was heard previously on Matt Dillon's character in the movie "in and out" when he is interviewed by Tom Selleck on the red carpet. Magnificent actor Lewis, much alike Peter O'Toole. Pure classy.
@anon467 On interviews, he said, he just finds it easier to adopt a more American accent when talking to Americans. Also, when he first came to the US, he had to repeat himself several times when talking to Americans, so he decided to just adopt the accent when in the US & when talking to Americans.
No, have you seen Band of Brothers? He was brilliant in that as an American commander back in 2001 I think. If I'm honest his real accent sounds as if it's slipping into American every now and then
Lewis role of Brody is so much better than the crappy cheap and illogical Billions. "Homeland" is one of the best series shows ever. To me it certainly eclipses "Mad Men".
Dobrze że pan znalazł kogoś na moje miejsce będę jeśli chodzi o film to Życzę panu powodzenia niech się uda i z bandziorami raczej Niech pan będzie ostrożny mimo to że to jest tylko film
I've only just completed Season one in 2019. How did i miss this amazing series? As an Englishman myself, the accent is also easier because we grew up with American TV shows through the 80's and 90's. American popular culture is everywhere. I even remember as a kid trying to speak with an American accent and telling holiday friends that i was not from England, but America instead. I found England boring and America far more interesting. 30 years later that opinion is exactly the same, having visited America 10 times so far.
Dick Winters with an English accent? What is this world coming to? THESE COLORS DON'T RUUUN! Gaddamn Obama! Seriously though, the dude pulls off a convincing American accent. Never had a clue.
West Country? He went to Eton which is near Windsor in berkshire I was born in London. A west country accent is if you were born in lets say, sumerset.
After a big series like Homeland I wonder if he could start to lose his British accent! On Band of Brothers he sounds like a straight-up Connecticut Yankee! First time I ever heard him in an interview I was shocked to find out he was a John Bull, all the way!!
god why is he putting on that half American accent.. just to please the Yanks? When he's interviewed on UK television he sounds like the British gent that he is supposed to be!
I don't want to hurt this actor's feelings but it's unfair the audience to have an actor that doesn't take care of himself as the leading man. I had to fast forward the episodes that had him in. Hollywood should realize this isn't fair to the audience he could at least straighten out his teeth
Very attractive ! I love Damian Lewis
💜 so talented !
Such a great guy and such a perfect Brody ( and body yum ! ).
Fully deserved and more ...
His acting is just brilliant 🌟thank you Damian

HE IS ENGLISH? That blows my mind. He gives off like the most American vibe in the whole show.
I thought he is Canadian.

Damian Lewis is a magnificent actor 🏆
Bad Ass Show Homeland!!! Did a fantastic job as Brody!!!
@DJ Surferdude he had nothing left to do
It sounds like the American accent is slipping into his voice
How come everybody's talking about his accent when he is so hot? GINGER POWER
He's got like a half English, half American accent in this interview haha.
A real GOOD actor! Incredible body of work!

I have noticed if he is being interviewed in America he sounds American and if he is interviewed in Britain he sounds so English.
he is such a dynamite actor
Man's a genius. Played Laertes in Hamlet on stage.
God he's so gorgeous
he is still as a lt.winters for me
Trzymam za pana kciuki i to mocno pa
Ja mam tylko pytanie w filmie ma pewno trzeba mieć dobrą dykcję prawda Panie Damianie
really recomend band of borthers, he is great
I started watching Homeland knowing fine well he's British, and the accent still threw me off.
@SaucyCarrot
I have not seen Band of Brothers. I didn't know Damian/Brody until Homeland!!
Omg he's so hot :(
good contender for next james bond ?!!! he is pretty good....
yes! that would be amazing!
He's played American characters before. He was even an American soldier again in Band of Brothers however many years ago that was.
His voice in the show is American!!! I did not know that he was British until I looked him up on Wikipedia!! Was he taught the accent for the show??
No, have you seen Band of Brothers? He was brilliant in that as an American commander back in 2001 I think. If I'm honest his real accent sounds as if it's slipping into American every now and then
That's a nice English accent he's putting on for the intervew.
Lewis role of Brody is so much better than the crappy cheap and illogical Billions. "Homeland" is one of the best series shows ever. To me it certainly eclipses "Mad Men".
Why is Billions illogical
His naturally British accent doesn't seem as thick. He almost sounds like a genuine American actor.
Dobrze że pan znalazł kogoś na moje miejsce będę jeśli chodzi o film to Życzę panu powodzenia niech się uda i z bandziorami raczej Niech pan będzie ostrożny mimo to że to jest tylko film
down down you knock me down i hear you knocking and i can't sleep at night
That folks, is what you call a mid Atlantic accent!
It's rather nice isn't it!

Mommy doesn't let you out of the basement often, does she?
And David Estes from Homeland
i agree

NOOOO Maybe write spoiler somewhere in the title!!!!!!

He will be the NEXT JAMES BOND !!!!!!!!
Wow he is English what an actor
Hollywood don't use this actor Moore it anymore until he takes better care of himself is painful to look at.
Its SO weird hearing him speak in a British accent! In a weird way it sounds like he's faking but its his actual accent!
hot
I'll like to see Damian Lewis and Idris Elba do a series together about the CIA similar to homeland. 😁
Czyżby pan był w szoku
is the secret brother of David de Gea?
A pan zdobywa u mnie bardzo duży punkt ale z panem nie zagra to może o tym pomarzyć Panie Damianie
HEY!!!
Way to warn us about spoilers.......
The first ginger Bond
it's a bit lame of her to spoil the ending to season 1, not everyone would have seen it
Next James Bond?
probably cuz hes been doing a lot of american accent in the show
Fuck I have only seen 9 episodes
.host gave a big spoiler away
his voice is all over the place when he doesn't have to speak US accent

I want to win an awoord
Woah. Broady whered this accent pop up????? sooooooooooo wierd
Pan myślał o poniżaniu innych
Nawet Lepiej Panie Damianie bo to co mówicie to są obiecanki cacanki które się nigdy nie spełnią

CPATAIN WINTERS RULES¡¡¡¡
haha nah It's just a west Country accent. (I'm referring to the English west Country).
za płaci pan za to wszystko podwójnie to co pan mi zrobił zapłaci pan podwójnie
Tylko że zemsta jest słodka
Ja zrezygnowałem i nie chciałam grać w pewnym dlatego że się ze mnie i pan ze mnie nabijłeś dobrze o tym pan wie
Brody became English lol
Why not? LOL
Nie
god why is he putting on that half American accent.. just to please the Yanks? When he's interviewed on UK television he sounds like the British gent that he is supposed to be!
Ambiguous
Obama "twinkly"? lol
Grody fast forward wasted my time
I don't want to hurt this actor's feelings but it's unfair the audience to have an actor that doesn't take care of himself as the leading man. I had to fast forward the episodes that had him in. Hollywood should realize this isn't fair to the audience he could at least straighten out his teeth
Wtf is your problem? What's with Americans' obsession with straight white teeth?
his accent is weird
