I loved this man to bits. An incredible actor and also a very witty, sharp, yet kind guy.
A good few tears from esme at his passing, which is just as it should be.
The man.
His films.
Sleep well John.

Aye, a sad loss indeed Professor. Lovely smile on him John had, and such expressive eyes.

Him in 1984 was something to behold.

It really was, and interestingly balanced by his role in V for Vendetta I’d say.

The Elephant Man. Love the scene with Barber’s adagio.

That piece of music alone always fills me with emotion — married with the final scene it’s quite a killer tears-wise, a true heart-wrencher, and though I had decided not to watch anything John had starred in for a whie, until the sadness sits down with me, rather than stands as it does now, I watched the scene. Marvellous. Gets me every time and this time is no different.
