Benedict Cumberbatch talks us through his iconic career so far and his approach to breaking down complex characters x

On Vincent Anderson: "I've never read something quite so original. I'm not just playing a man who has a psychotic episode and imagines a 7-foot tall, blue monster puppet named Eric. It was also playing Eric, reimagining what Vincent's interpretation of this id, this shadow self would be in terms of his vocal performance. It's just rich, rich story-telling. Really a complex, dynamic character to play on a really spectacularly loopy journey." On Doctor Strange: "Where to start... I was going to play him and then I couldn't because I had already booked Hamlet. They drifted away and then they, very quickly, drifted back to me. They shifted their whole factory line to my schedule. [...] I'm very much looking forward to Avengers next year. He's cooking up a storm."

Vincent Anderson X Reader

•Clean•

Being friends with Vincent was… interesting to say the least. Y/n hadn’t seen him since he was finally reunited with his son. Ever since he went to rehab to get clean. The last time she saw him was when his wife kicked him out once again. He stayed at her place clearly not in his right mind. He reeked of alcohol and Y/n wanted to be there for him. Especially since his son was missing and she knew he needed someone by his side.

They got into an argument that night, when Y/n stupidly confessed him during the time he wasn’t right in the head.

Y/n let Vincent in her apartment. He reeked of alcohol and he looked like he hasn’t slept at all.

“Are you okay?” She asked as he made his way past her making his way towards her cabinet where she kept her special beverages at.

“She’s pregnant.” He spat out downing the bottle without pouring it into a glass. “I knew it. I fuckin knew it. Don’t get laid anymore, should’ve saw it.” He takes another swig before wiping off the alcohol that fell on his chin. Y/n hitched a breath at the comment he made.

“Wait what do you mean she’s pregnant?” She asked moving her way towards Vincent placing a hand on his shoulder signaling for him to look at her. He continues to look at the wall, his eyes red and puffy from crying which she didn’t notice in the beginning.

“She’s been sleeping with her student. The man that’s been helping her look for edger. What if he took him Y/n.” His voice shaky.

“Come on.” She grabs his shoulder and arm pushing him towards the couch and placing him down so he could relax. “He’s going to come home Vincent. Edger is strong and resilient. He’s going to come home.” She spoke softly placing herself right next to him.

“I’m scared. I don’t know what’s happening anymore.” His voice cracks as he looks down at his hands that we’re visually shaking. Y/n let’s out a breath not realizing she was holding it in. She places her hands over his to calm down his anxiety.

“Everything will be okay. It’s not your fault.” She whispers softly rubbing her thumb against his knuckles. Vincent sucks in a breath before looking at the woman in front of him. Y/n looks back at him watching as his blue-green eyes looking back into her eyes. Vincent moves his hand to tuck back the loose hair that fell in front of her face leaving his hand on her cheek. Y/n watches when he does so her mouth slightly gaped open, her breathing become very uneven. His face seems to get closer to hers just mere inches, she flicks her eyes to his lips moving her face closer to his before setting her lips gently on his. The taste of alcohol on his lips. He groans slightly before grabbing the back of her head pulling her mouth closer to his. Their lips move in synced his mouth exploring hers like it was his last breath. He suddenly pulls back quickly his eyes wide from what he just done. She looks at him with a confused expression.

“I-I’m sorry I can’t.” He stutters standing up from the couch gripping his hair with his hands.

“What do you mean you can’t. Vincent…” her heart was beating against her chest standing up as well from the couch to face him. Vincent looks to his left before shouting.

“Shut up! Shut up!” He screams. Y/n heart dropped at his reaction.

“So I’m just going to stand here as you go back to her once again, well you completely destroy yourself.” Y/n shouts her blood boiling the tears prickling her eyes. Vincent looks back at her.

“I’m never ever going back to her, as much as I should because I was the shitty person. I’m fucked up! And I don’t want to drag you down over my shit self. I’m the reason my son left! I’m fucked up! I can’t do this.” He grumbles before leaving the apartment slamming the door behind him. Y/n felt her heart crumble watching him leave hearing the words he had said. Knowing she doomed herself by allowing herself to fall in love with him.

Y/n was walking the streets thinking of the memory that she countless looked back on. What she could’ve done differently, what she could’ve said differently. She looked up seeing the sign of ‘Good morning Sunshine’ not noticing she was walking past the building, her heart pounding against her chest. She wanted to see him. She wanted to know he was okay.

Vincent looked outside the window of his work seeing the small figure, his heart pounding against his chest. Edger beside him watching where his father was looking.

“Dad.” Edger speaks up. Vincent looks down at the small boy a smile on his face as he crouches down to his level.

“What’s up.” He says trying not to let the tears come down from seeing the girl he let down.

“Why haven’t you seen Y/n?” Edger asks curiously. “Eric always loved her. I made sure there was much love in his heart for her.” Vincent lets out a small smile looking down at the floor before pulling his head to look back at him.

“Because unfortunately your father once again made a mistake that he can never fix son.” He says placing a hand on his son’s shoulder.

“You’ve made a lot of mistakes but Y/n has always been there through all of them… I know you’ll never love mom the same way anymore, but I’ve seen the way you look at her. It used to be how you looked at mom.” Edger whispers softly. Vincent sniffles a bit.

“You think so buddy?” Vincent asks. It was the confirmation he was looking for from his son. He knew his relationship was going down hill a long time ago but to he didn’t want to rush into a new relationship unless he knew his son liked the person.

“I love her dad and so do you know.” Edger smiles widely. Cassie’s comes up behind edger placing her hand on her belly and a hand on Edgers head.

“I agree with our son on this. I’ve found happiness and you deserve to find it to Vincent. Go get her. I’ll watch him a bit longer.” Cassie’s smiles softly Sebastian placing an arm around her shoulders. Vincent nods sitting up from his kneeling position.

“You’re right. Thank you. I’ll be back.” Vincent takes off his head band giving it to Edger before running out of the building noticing she wasn’t where she was when he looked out the window. He looks around noticing her jacket as she moves around to a corner. He rushes towards where she turned moving his way through the crowd of people keeping his eyes on her coat. She was making her way towards the park and he continues to keep an eye on her watching as she makes her way towards the bridge.

“Y/n!” He shouts out for her. She stops in her track her heat beating against her chest not expecting to hear that voice. Vincent finally comes up behind her watching as she turns to look at him. Y/n looks at the figure in front of her. Her heart swelling. He no longer smelt of alcohol, he didn’t look like he couldn’t sleep; his bags under his eyes gone. He looked healthy.

“Vincent.” She whispers under her breath.

“Y/n.” His voice shaky as he lets her name roll off his tongue. He hasn’t said her name out loud like that in so long.

“U-Um I’m glad edger came home. I’m really happy for you all.” She smiles softly really happy to hear about edger back at home with his family once again but there was a sort of sadness in her tone, not that she wasn’t happy that edger was back at home. She loved the kid being in the family’s life for so long but knowing Cassie and Vincent were going to try harder at their relationship.

“Me too. I uh actually get him tonight. I’ve got my own place since Sebastian moved in with Cassie.” Vincent smiles softly. Y/n knits her eyebrows in confusion.

“Wait. You live by yourself? Cassie and you-?”

“Yes. There’s nothing there. Cassie and I aren’t even-“ He sighs rubbing his face taking a step closer to Y/n. “Cassie and I weren’t happy together. You were right all this time. Especially since we both were in love with someone else.” Vincent eyes look at hers searching her face to see if she was starting to understand his statement. Y/n looks at her feet nervously.

“Oh. So you don’t live alone. Who’s the lucky girl?” She mumbled softly. She felt her heart break once again hearing him and his new life.

“No I live alone. Well… she is hopefully right in front of me.” He grabs her hand with a soft touch bringing it up to his lips looking intently into her eyes. Y/n heart starts to throb at the contact watching the way he looked at her. It wasn’t a lustful look, it wasn’t a friendly look. It was pure love and admiration for her.

“I-I thought this wouldn’t work.” She mentally facepalmed herself for saying it out loud. God she wanted this to work so badly but after the last fight. The way he loved Cassie, she was scared to be hurt again.

“Y/n. I was a fuckin idiot. God I’ve been an idiot for years. I was stupid for saying what I said that night. I wasn’t in the right head space to bring you into my own suffering. I tried to hold onto a relationship that was never going to work, a relationship that fell out of love a long time ago because I fell for you. I fell for you and only you. I love Cassie but not the way I love you. I love Cassie like she’s a best friend. I love you as someone more, someone I crave, someone I need by my side. I miss you when you’re gone. These last couple months have been hell for me because the person I bounce my ideas off of, the person who’s always there, the person who loves my kid like their own was gone. I cannot imagine a life without you.” Vincent breaths out his face close to hers as he confessed everything he wanted to years ago. Her eyes start prickling with tears hearing his confession. He places his hands on her cheek wiping her tears with his thumbs. “Please be with me. Please.” She smiles softly.

“Ive been waiting for that as long as I’ve known you.” She whispers softly watching as his face moves closer to his. He chuckles deeply before smashing his lips against hers missing the touch of her lips against his. She smiles widely against the kiss enjoying the taste of his lips without the taste of alcohol fresh on his lips this time it was pure love from each other. He pulls back just slightly putting his forehead on hers.

“You know I hated this park for so long, but I think I found a reason to love it again.” He smiles his eyes looking at hers. “Because I’m here with the woman I’ve loved for so long.”

“I love you too Vincent Anderson.” She giggles before placing a kiss against his again grabbing the collar of his shirt his smirk against her lips.

Edger looks towards his mom watching her smile as she sees the two on the bridge at the park.

“I love seeing dad happy.” Edger smiles softly watching his dad genuinely happy for the first time.

“Me too buddy, me too.” Cassie’s whispers.

Rewatch of Netflix Eric, episode three. Vincent, coked out and dancing. The extremes of his artificial euphoria, his genuine belief that his plan to find Edgar is going to work, and the absolute turmoil that he himself drove his son into danger due to his failings as a father, evident in every frame of that scene. Breathtaking from an artistic/storytelling viewpoint.

The sight of Benedict, eyes closed (while the viewer can almost hear the thoughts in Vincent's head), moving to the music, his grace and rhythm pure and natural? An absolutely glorious sight to behold.

Eric

“Episode 2”

Director: Lucy Forbes

DoP: Benedict Spence

[popcorn-plots]

I need to say something so Eric spoilers below the cut

tw: scuicide

So. Lenny's suicide in ep 5, and then absolutely no reaction to it whatsoever in ep 6. I mean, adding in a reaction probably would have added yet another plotline, albeit small, to every other plotline, but still. Vincent and Lenny have been friends for a while, and they created Good Day Sunshine together, right?

I get why Lenny did it, though, and I enjoyed the reactions from people on the ground (most movies don't have that in my experience) but it felt almost last minute in the pace of the show and it didn't seem to wrap up very nicely. It felt like a loose end that never fully got resolved.

Despite that, I enjoyed the last episode (and cried) and I loved the symbolism of Eric as well as Vincent's relationship with him.

If anyone has other thoughts, feel free to add them

[wowifinallywatched]

Wow I Finally Watched Eric

Unlike our regular scheduled programming of me finally watching a show / movie that's been out for a long time and I'm finally sinking my teeth into it, This is a new show that just came out and I don't know why, but I instantly felt drawn to it.

Actually, I do know why.

Why is Benedict Cumberbatch standing there with a giant furry monster next to him?

I was hooked from there.

It starts off like every childs dream, imagine getting to witness one of your favourite shows first hand and your parent being in the centre of it all? Living the dream right?

Until you fall away from that perfect picture and reality falls into place. Then we all see a story that too many people relate to on an intimate level.

And Children will see whats happening right infront of them and will have a far better understanding of situations, words, circumstances and relationships than we give them for.

Children see so much kindness and Hope, We need to be adults and make sure they can hold onto that for as long as possible. Otherwise, They're going to try take the reigns and escape into a world where there's No fighting, No harsh words and do what they feel is best for themselves.

And then there are some that get taken from us too soon. Where their good heart, Hope for the future, Respect for their home and their people are taken advantage of for the most horrible, Disgusting and incredibly terrible reasons. Where they don't get a choice, They don't get to keep that hope, that light, That childhood. They not only don't get to be a kid anymore, But they don't get to live at all.

But do you know what I think this cores show is really about?

If you know something, so deeply in your heart, and you believe it without question or hesitation, Go after it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, Because no one else can do what you can do.

Even if it tracks you through the mud, It lets you see the bright blue sky, People may lose faith in you but through it all, You know what you're doing is the right thing to do and in the end it will pay off.

Through that experience you’ll find out things about yourself, Meet good people, Bad people and people just trying to survive. You'll bring justice to those that were wronged, Respect to a life that was taken too young and make sure those that bring disgust to a force that's meant to protect. You may even confront your own fears and see your true colours.

You may finally get to let go of your greifs of the past and live your truest and best self.

And yes, Wouldn't it be best to skip all that and get to the happy ending? But then you'd be missing the whole point.

Sometimes, Not always, Life is better for going through it.

(This does not apply to all situations, This is just in context of the show and some experiences in life, No one deserves to be treated like shit, Used or taken advantage of in fiction or real life whether personal or situational growth comes from it or not. Some people can just be really fucked, Deserve to be punished and not forgiven)
