Alan Rickman Talks 'A Little Chaos'

To the shock of 17th-century society, a woman is invited to design a garden at King Louis XIV’s glorious Palace of Versailles.

At 19:02: "I really don't know what social media is all about, but i did manage to press this button called KZbin"... dear Alan, if only you could see yourself on KZbin now, and how many people love and miss you.

[@judithann7193]

So true. Such a loss.

[@Christian_Girl120]

Amen!

[@willowsverge3046]

Always…

[@marberg1579]

He would probably still hate so/me 🤣 but he loves us, i know for sure.

[@EIbereth]

Mr. Rickman, I hope all our love for you gets to you, wherever you are. 🙏❤

[@sp72929]

"... don't get my hands dirty.... it's just that it will die... " "Weirdly I don't spend my life watching myself..." Love how he was able to throw such unexpected hilarious lines in a serious conversation. He was such an intelligent witty man but most of all he had such an nice gentle personality. Great actor and a great man.

[@im_rachel.r]

I miss you Alan, every single day. This interview broke my heart, knowing you're not here now. The world is emptier without you. You bring the light and love and best things to us. The way you answer, the way you tell a story, it's adorable, it's incredibly brilliant. I miss you, miss your voice, your smile. Stay well up there my dearest.

[@safahassan1912]

This comment broke my heart 💔

[@miyamotokai8872]

Your comment make me cry...his thoughts and speaking, and facial expressions, posture,...when he smiles, it's just wonderful....Miss him so much...

[@5KRUFFI3]

“When it’s finished you let it go and move on.” Wise words we all should practice. And his response to fans not moving on “Well, tough!” This honestly helped me so much to move on with my life. Just a few words from someone I don’t even know could help me change my perspective on something I’ve been trying to achieve for years. Thank you so much Alan Rickman. Rest In Peace.

[@loverofthelordjesus3893]

If only he knew how many tears were shed for him 🥺😢

[@alok26k68]

I cannot watch Alan Rickman without crying. Such an absolute wonderful person and a loss to the world. We are so lucky to have been able to watch in awe.

[@Beatricezq]

YOURE SO TRUE ❤❤❤❤

He‘s was a very charismatic sun king👑

[@lorybell2196]

He is so adorable. Brilliant, intelligent, funny, and a little bit shy. Really brocke heart. So missed and unforgettable

[@amaree9732]

Adored this movie for many reasons: Alan Rickman as a director as well as an actor, history coming alive, how the king acts when he's around his family, Kate Winslet's careful preparation for the role, but mostly I love a story where a protagonist (especially a non-male role) overcomes incredible odds and wins. I wish Alan Rickman had had more time with us.

[@alyssabenjamin444]

26:17- when you read that article that details how Alan wrote letters saying he was displeased/frustrated with “that director”, remember how he read through the Harry Potter series raking for little moments to put into the films... so essential in carefully crafting the character we love so.

[@lespangen]

He is simply awesome sorry he has left the earth 😰😰

[@AnastasiaCooper]

I really love the character of Snape, I truly do... but it kinda baffles me that even though Alan is clearly promoting a new movie, they still want to hear about Snape... I really appreciated that young actor's question, that gave Rickman the chance to share something else. It feels like Alan just had way more to say, but never got asked...

[@sergioalmasy8722]

I agree, there could have been more questions with substance, and Alan would have been pleased to answer these. Instead, there were one or two silly questions that came up.

[@debbiecalnan9327]

I've read, regarding other interviews, that he only allows one or two questions about Snape as he doesn't want the greater focus there. He values all of his work for so many different reasons. He is a well-rounded person.

[@nellies]

I could listen to him talk forever! The wisest and most charming man with a voice that just makes me melt. It pains me to know he would be gone just a bit over half a year after this interview. I just watched this movie and I loved it, it deserved much higher praise than it got from critics.

[@bezalel2726]

how ironic, alan and snape kept the same secret throughout🥺🥺🥺

[@marberg1579]

This hits me in the feels EVERY time. It hurts.

[@studywithmay5872]

just by looking at alan's pictures, it'll bring you down to tears

[@justanotherrandomperson180]

13:32 lmao he is literally me😂😂 never ask me to take care of your plants because I might accidentally kill them

[@54janete]

Loved this interview, Alan is always so lovely. Butttt, I cringed so so hard when that fan said he’s ”the bravest man she ever knew” and he didn’t hear/get the reference from HP. Like giiirl, I know you mean well but nooo don’t! And the interviewer didn’t get it either ahhh! Made me want to sink into the ground and I wasn’t even there

[@sergioalmasy8722]

I think the fan is oriental, even with her coming across as nervous had a slight problem expressing what she wanted to say in English. She was expressing a concept that is normal in her culture that was clearly lost in her Western translation. Albeit meaning a highest form of complement given to an elder, it inadvertently carried a cringe factor. But I do get your point.

[@catherinetodd]

Just finished watching the film and will have to watch it again! And again and again... I did not see this garden when I was at Versaille, so now a second visit must be in hand. Gorgeous film. Rickman is a most talented genius & Winslet is PERFECTION as always.

[@harrysnape1123]

Alan is really funny and cute. "Little Chaos" is a good movie, it makes people feel good and calm after watching.

[@barbarawalsh2875]

I love this movie I watch it probably once a week and depending upon the week maybe twice. I miss Alan every day. What a wonderful, wonderful film this is

[@catherinetodd]

Thank you, Alan, for pointing out that Kate's position was an "invention." No woman would ever have been given this job or career in those days. I was wondering!

[@Christian_Girl120]

I saw the movie. I thought it was really good. Alan Rickman did a very good job with this. A wonderful actor as well as a director and human being.

[@larrykaufman8100]

His portrayal of Louis the 14th was absolutely spot on! I am going to buy the movie….it is worth watching time and ti:e again! may Alan REST IN THE ARMS OF GOD,

[@celine5548]

3:03 That woman taking pictures of alan is so Real i would too tbh🫰🏼

[@RS-jd7jp]

Will always love him❤️🌏

[@jomeyer13]

i loved the purple which maybe should have been blue bluebells walk and the hanging chaos part at the next area.

[@miyamotokai8872]

Thank you so much for the video, I love the whole atmosphere of it that the interviewer also seems really enjoy himself asking Alan questions. Gosh Alan is always fun and sexy even on the interview.

As for the film Perfume, has anyone noticed that despite being people from a time when dental care was particular iffy when they had the crowd scenes you had all these sparkling white teeth looking into the camera. Not one toothless among them! LOL.

[@jomeyer13]

wish i could seen more of her private abundance of chaos garden

[@miralabualjadail4206]

I really don't like this interviewer. its like his perception can't go beyond a superficial level. When Alan speak with such a weight, full of depth and gravity. You can really see the contrast.

[@debbiecalnan9327]

I actually enjoyed his being lighter and having more fun with this one. There are plenty of heavier interviews with him with gravity. It was nice to see him just sit back and have a little fun with it.

Severus Snape 🤩

[@alijade1991]

I’ll always adore Alan Rickman but I did kinda question the answer he gave about reading the Harry Potter books. He said he read them but that comment that woman says, calling him the “bravest man I’ve ever known”, just flew right over his head. Lol I doubt he read all of them. Maybe just the Snape parts. Lol Good interview overall though.

[@ftwf666]

Disagree with you. He mustn't remember every line from every film or book. And just because it means so much to all potterheads doesn't necessarily mean the same to an adult actor, especially when he always was saying things like: move on or get a live :)

[@debbiecalnan9327]

Perhaps it just escaped him for the moment as he did say that you have to read all of it to know the narrative to know what to suggest might work.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

Women don't have anything in print to speak of about the Buddy System with safety awareness and self defense. So many millions of things are in print for men. Police, military, hunting and anything men do has 2 in 2 out, safety and self defense in print every month. Women magazines and all newspapers need to print information about the Buddy System for women. Can you imagine a world safe for women? I love this movie, "A Little Chaos."

[@CharlotteFairchild]

Spencer Tunick gets people to go nude for art in the thousands. That amazes me because a workshop that teaches people to say no, and everyone keeps their clothes on scares people for a group of 8, while 5000 people can get in a group and go naked? How odd is that? It is quite odd for me to think about modesty and safety as a nude person, and modesty and safety with all our clothes on.

[@mariahcarey9470]

What does this have to do with anything?
