今天下午在Reddit,Benedict Cumberbatch有一場線上即時問答,有一個人問了
他有沒有因為這封信所以讓他懷疑了自己在其中扮演的腳色。
http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1o8l5f/i_am_benedict_cumberbatch_ama
Cumberbatch說,當然有。但是他不是這麼容易就被收買來散佈別人的信念
他相信這個電影不但能夠展現維基解密的成功之處,也檢視了相關人士的個性等等
這是他即時回覆的訊息,但是可以看出來他真的非常有想法。
Yes, of course it did. To have the man you are about to portray ask you
intelligently and politely not to do it gave me real cause for concern,
however, it galvanized me into addressing why I was doing this movie.
He accuses me of being a "hired gun" as if I am an easily bought cypher
for right wing propaganda. Not only do I NOT operate in a moral vacuum
but this was not a pay day for me at all. I've worked far less hard for
more financial reward. This project was important to me because of the
integrity I wanted to bring to provocative difficult but ultimately
timely and a truly important figure of our modern times. The idea of
making a movie about someone who so far removed from my likeness or
situation who brought about an ideal through personal sacrifice that has
changed the way we view both social media, the power of the individual
to have a voice in that space, and be able to question both the
hypocrisies and wrongdoings of organizations and bodies of powerful
people that rule our lives... This resonated deeply with my beliefs in
civil liberty, a healthy democracy, and the human rights of both
communities and individuals to question those in authority. I believe
that the film, quite clearly, illuminates the great successes of
wikileaks and its extraordinary founder Julians Assange. As well as,
examining the personalities involved and what become a dysfunctional
relationship within that organization. While the legacy of his actions
and the organizations continue to evolve and only history will be the
true judge of where this is leading us. The Fifth Estate is a powerful,
if dramatized, entry point for a discussion about this extraordinary
lurch forward in our society. I wanted to create a three dimensional
portrait of a man far more maligned in the tabloid press than he is in
our film to remind people that he is not just the weird, white haired
Australian dude wanted in Sweden, hiding in an embassy behind Harrods.
But a true force to be reckoned with, achieved the realization of the
great ideal. I'm proud to be involved in tackling such a contentious
character and script. There is only personal truth in my opinion, and
the film should provoke debate and not consensus. It should be enjoyable
and ultimately empowering to realize that Julian has spearheaded a
movement that is the foundations stone of The Fifth Estate, people
journalism and what that is capable of including finding out the "truth"
for yourself.
這個Q&A其他部分都很輕蟆幽默,像是有關他和Matt Smith和Tom Hiddleston
的顴骨磨光 party
