This is my favorite scene of the entire production, Cara speaking to Charles, she the voice of truth. What would she have answered if Charles had asked her why she stayed with Lord Marchmain?
Two of the second string characters, Cara and Anthony Blanche were the seers. They functioned as a sort of Greek Chorus, telling the viewer the overarching truth, while Charles, bewitched, didn't want to believe.
Tell me if anyone else thinks, Jeremy Irons has a beautiful voice, I thought he was perfectly cast in this show, I've always liked him, but how does he do it, he somehow holds my interest and yet he's quite boring and flat. Isn't this true, the most interesting boring actor I can think of.
He has a very good poetic lilt to his voice, and he is an extremely good narrator. There is a calmness to his screen persona that is somewhat reassuring.
I like how people suddenly break into literary inspiration when watching these videos. Harmless pretension or the genuine dwelling place of the highly-cultured of RUclips?
No, he was a convert from Anglicanism, converting to marry a Catholic as Rex would later.There's a line about Alex pompously proclaiming to "return to the faith of his ancestors" -any Protestant with deep roots in England would have Rom Catholic ancestry.Religion aside, it's doubtful the marriage was arranged; Cara's words make clear it was a love match, at least on Alex's side. But since Teresa Flyte's family was comparatively poor, they may well have welcomed her marrying a wealthy convert.
Cara thinks she has an insight, but I don't think she does really. Male friendship like Charles and Sebastian is not the same as female, and I don't think women can understand. And of course hatred of all sorts must first have a foundation inside the hater. After all the Freud and Hollywood hardly anyone today understands platonic love.
Lord Marchmain was Catholic before he married her Ladyship.It was an arranged marriage.Upperclass Catholics were few and far between and kept closed ranks.As Sebastian said,"There are so few of us.".
No, he converted for her. It's mentioned more than once, including at the point when they are considering closing the chapel. They say it is not necessary to keep it open once lady Marchmain dies because the Flytes are not an old Catholic family and their tenants and servants do not worship there.

Oh, the poetry of it all.
Beautiful episode
Drowning in honey skinless. *Inundated. Immersed.. How wonderful that must have been.
Thanks so much for posting this; it's even better than I remember it.
After seeing this the first time, I knew I just had to see Venice.
Cara knows the score.
I’m not sure. I think she thinks it something they will grow out of?
"Come, let's go meet them!" Oooh can't wait.

She told him.
@@wholeNwon She did? What did she say?

I agree, he does have a pleasant voice, and a pleasant way of speaking too. These English... so darn perfect!

@@gentillygirl545 He's very like James Mason.
Hello Daimian Of course he has a lovely voice. That's why he does the narration of course. His voice is restrained rather than boring I think. x
@@Mike8981 I think I like that.
1:40 second... Allow Yourself to build up to the beautiful of the moment... 1:47.

I don't think 13 comments in 8 years indicates hidden numbers of cultural sensitivity around here.
The latter!

Thank you for the correction.It has been years since I read the novel.

"oh what a delightful dream, uhmmmm. AIn't Love grand?"
And pick up bad habits from all those Italian bears? I doubt that Sebastian would hear of it.
@lizclegg
Me, too I did not see him in venice ! But may be Sebastian has out grown him already !
SHAG ALREADY DAMMIT!

@@Vesnicie well , Hooper mentions some “old retainers “ worshipping there. So Nanny Hawkins wasn’t the only Catholic servant at Brideshead
