I always loved Sebastian and the performance of Anthony Andrews on Brishead revisited. He was perfect. No other actor could ever take his place. Anthony Andrews was and will always be Lord Sebastian Flyte.
A beautiful tribute to Sebastian in all his youth and charm, and to Anthony Andrews's magnificent acting. Why has he not been used in film in the subsequent years? There is a great gap in Andrews's life, inexplicable at least to me. On another point: The clothing is magnificent. I see how in the 20's, boys dressed like men. And now, in the 21st century, men dress like boys and slobs. So do women. I wonder if I'll live to see a return to adult dressing. This, too, shall pass.
My Dear Eileen, dress as you wish, do as you like, create your own Arcadia, never mind the others. Wear knickerbockers if you wish, "It's all such a lot of nonsense" as our good friend Mr Ryder is hear to say.
Thank you Sasha. I have had my own Sebastians, as I wrestle with my own Charles reality. Being a Catholic makes this all the more real to me. Then and now. Sebastian was right...I am a Catholic because it is "lovely".
Watching the series here on RUclips, I've seen at least one comment made previously by someone who recognized from earlier years the same pain represented in Sebastian's character. I assume years later as they watch this now their situation has improved and they are no longer sad in that way. I am just realizing now after about three weeks of immersing myself in this, how much I am in his shoes and that is why I am so drawn to it. In the story it doesn't take long at all for Sebastian to totally spiral downward to what we are left to assume is a premature death... it's scary to think of myself, in a couple years or so, being in such a bad way as that. Right now I best relate to the point between losing excitement in love and having winter in his heart. I hope I never reach Kurt phase. In a few years or more from now I hope to watch this and read these comments and think wow, things *did* get better. I can't believe I was that sad.
+J Jackson I echo Sam's and Whiteribbonman's replies... and your own post. There's something dangerously alluring about the Kurt phase. Resist it -- it's not much fun, and it's hard to break free from. I hope things are/get better.
When I saw this as it was shown at the time I was Charles and I had my Sebastian. My Catholic faith saved me as it did not for poor beautiful Sebastian. Such a wonderful production.
Non Britishers watching this may not realise that Waugh took off three months from Mil service right in the middle of WWII or so to Write the Great British Catholic Novel . He'd injured his ankle in a parachute accident. he was about 42 at the time. Since a parachutist with a bad ankle is no use to the army, his CO gave him the time off. BHR had been started before or early in the war I do believe. Once the proofs were done, he went back to the army and jumped into Yugoslavia as a kind of liaison man for Tito , who at that stage the British were backing. That part of his life was written up in Sword of Honour. TE Fidler, NzL PS. There was in fact a military man called Ryder in the Nth African campaign - in tanks I think. Britisher type. I am sure that's where E. Waugh got that name from.
Still one of my all-time favorite mini-series... the Raj Quartet is another. But this adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's book was simply exquisitely done, with amazing actors and gorgeous cinematography, capturing a time and way which is gone forever and which held so much beauty as well as pain. I love your choice of music to go with the video! I highly recommend this series on DVD to anyone who wants to sink their teeth into a moving story about another time and another place... Arcadia lost...
It breaks my heart too. I soldiered on and saw his complete demise...it made me cry. I think I agree with Charles in that I like to remember him how he was that first summer. Long live aluicious(probs mispelled)
I hurt inside for Sebastian. He needed something he could never find. His heart was so good. I lost it when he disappeared and when I saw how he lived his life out, it broke my heart. But at least he felt needed finally. Anthony Andrews portrayed him so well, I had to stop and think that it is only an act. He was Sebastian.
Beautiful tribute, but you should also talk not just only about all Sebastian's innocence and beauty, but his spiritual inner torture too. I think they're all mixed in his way of living, loving, even walking or going down.
Oh god this is heartbreaking. A beautiful video, with such a tragic story. Makes me cry every time I watch the end of the series or read the end of the book.
Thank you for this beautiful video - it befits the beautiful series, and the great actors who brought it to life. 1981 was a landmark in my life, because it was the year Brideshead Revisited arrived into my living room...
Dear Allure75, please keep this heartbreakingly beautiful video on You Tube for ever. I can't live without it anymore! You're just brilliant! I shared it on twitter. Is that allright? Bye dear! Love, Inge Justa.
Thank you!! It was actually a tv series well mini series I guess. I definately recommend it. lol it's a bit lengthy you'll lose some hours off your life; but it's definately worth it. It leaves an impression. lol ok enough gushing.
I love Brideshead but at this time about 50 % of the population were working in mines or mills for 14 hours a day in a living hell.Somebody should have given him a fucking slap and told him to sort himself out.
+Ewan MacFarlane But surely Brideshead had a social conscience, didn't he? He didn't seem to care about his place in society, just wanted to be all domestic with Beryl. And he was certainly devout, if rather off-puttingly.
It's not good, it's beautiful. Charles and Sebastian, their relationship was..., actually, I get tears when I think of them. It will change you. It did me.
danivarius Yes Lord "onion" bridey.He loved a matchbox collection and he hated poor standards at an agricultural show.Thats about all you can say about him .

beautiful and tragic Sebastian.. Anthony Andrews played him wonderfully, I cried at his pain. Many thanks for this video it's very touching :)
This is so sweet. Poor Sebastian...*huggles the little blonde angel*

Hope u doing well Justine

This is so exquisitely beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is amazingly beautiful. Great job.
yes! thanks 4 makin & uppin! the whole Charles-Sebastian thing is very special to me too. the film & the novel is truly sublime.
Beautiful, thank you for doing this
Beautiful. :')
Bowie in 80's +, Paul Weller,+ Spandau Ballet, = Sebastian Flyte.
Thank you!! It was actually a tv series well mini series I guess. I definately recommend it. lol it's a bit lengthy you'll lose some hours off your life; but it's definately worth it. It leaves an impression. lol ok enough gushing.
thanks "...his beauty, which was arresting..."
Yes that's totally alright! I'm glad you liked it :)
Una gran historia de amor ...
Ah, that is really nicely done! Well done. I love that music (from Meet Joe Black) but actually it could have been made for Sebastian..
lol yeah I was a bit angst ridden when I made this; but I like the result
Just like the US TV show DYNASTY, this version film version of Brideshead is the only version.
great moovie
Anthony Andrews is the best!!
These images are from the Granada Television drama. I've never seen the BBC version, or even heard of it.
Don't bother , it is crap in comparison.
I love Brideshead but at this time about 50 % of the population were working in mines or mills for 14 hours a day in a living hell.Somebody should have given him a fucking slap and told him to sort himself out.
+Ewan MacFarlane Such an encouragement. . . . . ."a fucking slap & told to sort himself out". 😩
+Ewan MacFarlane Rest assured Sir, you as well as others have sparked me to find this novel, buy it and read it myself. I enjoy English literature. 😀
+Ewan MacFarlane But surely Brideshead had a social conscience, didn't he? He didn't seem to care about his place in society, just wanted to be all domestic with Beryl. And he was certainly devout, if rather off-puttingly.
You did it well made. Images are captured beautifully with the music. I never seen the movie. How good is it?
It's not good, it's beautiful. Charles and Sebastian, their relationship was..., actually, I get tears when I think of them. It will change you. It did me.
That was the second episode of the bbc series.
the character i was named after 🙏🙏
thanks
Please, what is the name of the music? It feels calming.
I think Brideshead was a decent man too.But I dont think it would have even crossed his mind that people were starving on the street.
I take it you're referring to Lord Brideshead, aka 'Bridey'?
danivarius Yes Lord "onion" bridey.He loved a matchbox collection and he hated poor standards at an agricultural show.Thats about all you can say about him .
@@ewanmacfarlane9195 Yes, the one who married a Ms Beryl Muspratt (a divorcee, or widower I do believe.), a serviceable woman in her own right.
The novel's name is Brideshead Revisited? Do you recommend reading the novel before watching the dvds?
whiteribbonman1 I would probably say yes...
No one like the original Sebasian Flyte, Anthony Andrews.
I think I know why
=(
