Day 17: Favourite mini series

Brideshead Revisited . So this is pretty old (1981) but I love it with all my heart! Especially the beginning and the end. (The middle goes on for a bit). It is such an intricate, slowly moving, utterly British show, and stays very loyal to the book.
So if you don't know it, it's about a young man, Charles Rider, who is studying in Oxford in the twenties. He meets Sebastian Flyte, who is an enormously wealthy spoiled brat who walks around carrying a teddy bear and drinks champagne all day long. They become very close friend (or more, depending on how your mind works - it's not that hard to see 'more') and spend a summer basically having fun in the Flyte castle - Brideshead. But the pressure of his catholic family drives Sebastian to destruction, and they lose touch. Years later, Charles meets the sister, Julia, and begins an affair with her, but the Catholicism and the time comes between them as well. And there is also another sister, Cordelia, who is just awesome.

I just adore this story, especially because of how Anthony Andrews plays Sebastian. He is, as you may have seen a few days ago, one of my favourite people in fictional history! I love the book as well, and I think this show is a perfect interpretation. Last year, a movie was made, and it was...not quite comparable.

There are also a lot of similarities between Charles/Sebastian (not that I ever shipped them!) and Remus/Sirius. I'm still not sure if I love R/S so much because they remind me of them, or if I just have a huge love in general for teenage British boys, where one is kind of quiet and bookish and the other one is rich, pretty, destructive and from a crazy family...


Second meme taken from geek_beauty(I had an exam today, I'm allowed to do nothing for a while):

List-O-Men
1. Bold the names of guys you’d definitely get with.
2. Italicize the names of guys you might get with after a little persuasion.
3. Leave the guys who don’t do anything for you alone.
4. Put a question (?) mark after the guys you’ve never heard of.
5. Strike the guys you wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole.
6. Add three guys to the list.
