My partner who died nearly two yrs ago& my lovely dad who has physically been gone also for 36 yrs
Both irreplaceable…forever missed…but present in spirit TG Xxx…
As are you the wonderful Alan Rickman ..Bless You
One ofthe best. I miss him still
What a lovely, dignified and heartfelt tribute to this beautiful and unforgettable man. He broke my heart as Severus Snape. He broke my heart when he left us far too soon. Alan Rickman. Always ❤❤❤💔💔💔
Overly long video which is a shame since I really wanted to hear remarks about these talented two.
Watched Harry Potter for the second time. And this time, when Snape looked at Harry, I could almost see him thinking that Harry had his mother's eyes. Having the full series under my belt, as it were, changed my grasp of Snape's every word, every look, every gesture. That was always there in Rickman's subtle performance, waiting for me to come back to see it. Consummate acting, a diamond of a work.
The narrator is awful. AI? Unwatchable
Emma Thompson did not play not "Blue" it was "Both Sides Now"! Get your AI right! AR was a great actor and an even better person. Dogma, Galaxy Quest, Bottle Shock, are the things I remember him for. what about Rima's story?👋🏼🖖🏼👍🏼 Petaluma, CA USA!
I cried like a baby when we lost the voice of God.
AI slop! Sorry! But that's what this is…sucking you in!
Get your info and photos in line. I love Alan Rickman but you are adding perfume to his already celebrated lfe and repeating your info
My heart is breaking! Alan Rickman is greatly missed.
Why show a picture of Emma Watson when stating that Emma Thompson was born in 1958? So much wrong in that split second…
A great actor and a true gentleman. We all miss him.
This was Wonderful🤗💕
The first time I saw him was in Die Hard. He was so perfect in that role. I actually resent the fact that they tricked him in his final scene. I’m quite sure he could’ve produced the right level of terror without being deceived about the timing of the stunt.
When I came away from the movie, I felt like some very smart ballet company should recruit him to play Von Rothbart in Swan Lake. He could have done it, and it would’ve been spectacular. He was thoroughly trained, and though not a dancer, he moved beautifully and meaningfully. In every character, I saw him play it contributed that skill of moving beautifully.
I loved that guy! When he was in Dogma, he was talking to a woman to talk her into stopping 2 banned angels from entering heaven. He asked her a few questions & they were not familiar to her. Then he said, "you people don't know anything unless there was a movie about it!" He was right.

Emma Alan Thompson Rickman – Riddikulus!
[Ref: Quran – Al-Inshirah – The CONSOLATION, surah 094]
p.s. I hope for the best. But A-LASS, … I expect the worst.
"I was once destined to become a man much like yourself. True-hearted … determined … full of purpose. But … uhm … character is easier kept than recovered. We cannot control the things life does to us. They are done before you know it, and once they are done … they make you do other things … until at last, everything comes between you … and the man you wanted to be." – The International (2009)
There is a good reason why the sun never sets on the British Empire.
[Ref: Quran – Al-Ankaboot – The SPIDER, surah 029]
I cried buckets when I learned that Alan Rickman had died. The loss of such a brilliant talent, not to mention such a shining soul, was a tragedy. I still mourn his loss.
One of my favorite people in the entire world. He left an enormous hole in the universe by leaving us far too soon.
I’ll never understand a world will take away an incredible Alan Rickman, but leave behind a horrible donald trump!
I, as most of us, saw him for the first time in Die Hard I had no idea how good he was until I saw him later in Truly, Madly Deeply and he went from a hateful, deadly, cold villian to a warm, silly, lovable ghost. Then I knew this man wasn't just an actor but in fact a master at his craft.
I thought I was going to hear Emma Thompson talk about Alan Rickman. Instead, I got a narration by someone else with the same photos being shown over and over again. Extremeley disappointing.
Loved Alan Rickman, a sad loss to humanity and acting. Hate the bad pronunciation and phrasing of these AI sounding presentations (I'm sure Alan Rickman would haye them too).
He was the epitome of what the term "actor" means in its finest sense. He showed what it means to "overcome". He made a positive difference in this world for many people. He will be missed. He deserves the ultimate accolade an actor can achieve. BRAVO sir BRAVO!
I often don't see things in theaters but then end up binging them. So – I watched all the Harry Potter movies in a very short time and – Alan was really dead when Snape died.
There's something moving about the Death of a Character – when you know – that the Actor has themselves died.
.
I still get tearful when his death is spoken of. It is so sad, and seemingly unfair. Any kind of cancer is never fair. Such an incredible actor. I have loved his performances in everything of his I have ever seen. Blessings to him and what he has left behind. Blessings to his wife, family, and his friends. Thank you Alan Rickman for leaving behind your incredible works. 😞❤❤
