"Did you just watch 7 minutes of Alan Rickman making tea and flip a table?" "Yes" "Fair enough"

[@ris0089]

Was it worth it? Yes. I would watch 20 minutes of him doing nothing. Trust me.

[@TheRealSkeletor]

He was looking at the tea, I looked away. I was enraptured, watching him stir. My eyes widened in horror as it looked like he was about to let the tag fall into the glass - a terrible crime. When I looked back I saw his eyes. _His eyes_, glaring at me, as if to say, "You dare judge my tea-stirring? _You dare_!? He was staring into my soul, and I felt it being ripped away by those very eyes. Still just as good as the first time I saw this.

I think this is what he truely feels if someone, who's not doing his job, addresses him with "Ah, Mr Rickman...your portrayel of Hans Gruber, Sheriff of Nottingham and Severus Snape...why were you so good at playing villains?".....boredom and also slight aggression because these people simply don't have a clue of all the wonderful films he had done...So the tea and the table was his revenge!!!

I have this on my computer. He shows so much on his face in what is actually about 11 seconds, and it's intense. Had no idea he was dealing with cancer, and I felt my heart drop in my chest when I read that he'd die. An awesome actor with a career truly worth celebrating. Well done, Alan Rickman. (claps) (awkwardly stops clapping when he realizes he's sitting in his room by himself at his computer)

[@Miss-cg4fr]

What was so remarkable about Alan Rickman was his ability to be completely still yet fluid in his presence and body movement. Here he demonstrates an incredible intensity that is at odds with his composed demeanour throughout. He was completely comfortable with himself as a human being. That really resonates on screen. His mind, and body gloriously connected. That's not an easy feat to achieve. He was an absolute one off. Can't believe it's been 4 years. Doesn't seem real Xx

[@mariaeaton3635]

Man, I wish I had seen this earlier. Brilliant! I'm thinking someone said "That is not the proper way to make tea!", prompting him to throw his tea at the guy, then proceed to flip the table, while saying "screw you!" (Or whatever the British equivalent is). Then he realizes that his tea is all gone, and is gutted by the loss. Because, tea.

[@GaabrielBecket]

+Maria Eaton It was the lemon. Tea has sugar and milk, never lemon. But seriously that was awesome.

[@spohie88]

Ah yes it is indeed the improper way to make tea. The just off of the boil water goes on the tea bag not the teabag in the stationary and slightly cooled water. You don't get the right infusion. Also lemon is a classic way to serve tea. Milk and (eww why ruin it) sugar is a now common but not classic way to drink tea. I must say I was somewhat relieved that he threw it away. RIP Alan

[@firstnamesurname7640]

there is no better way to make tea. or to flip a table.

Alan Rickman was before his time. He would have been such a great actor in a lot of the current movies coming out. But I’m glad that he did his thing and brought me countless hours of entertainment while he was here, and will live on in the movies and videos that he participated in. Thanks Alan!

I am glad that this was the first video I watched in 2014. This year will now officially be amazing.

[@PhoebeJaneway]

I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and excact art that is tea brewing.... the water is steaming hot! He must have scalded himself (or does it just look like it?)! For this little low-budget art-installment?...crazy! That man lived for art! The look he was able to produce! Just a well-trained actor! But not just training - he was also true! RIP, my hero of the acting world! (just edited my sentences into the past tense...still makes me cry...)

[@OneWhoDreamsAwake]

Still watching this in 2017! My heart is still grieved but I like to think Mr. Rickman would be happy that fans like myself watch videos like this of his when we are feeling down. Colonel Brandon will always be my standard for the men in my life. RIP lovely Mr. Rickman and I'll always turn to page 394. After all this time. Always.

[@tazmunster7646]

This reminds me of the first time i saw Mr Rickman. In Die Hard. That point when he switches from the German Terrorist to the Scared Captive. It took my breath away. Amazing talent. I will miss seeing more of his talent. R.I.P.

If I were to ever be asked for an example of a not-intended-to-be masterclass level of media, this would definitely be the first one given. Fairly granted, most (or, rather, any, in my opinion) of this man’s work would be first on such a list. That said, I will forever be thankful for this man’s existence and the wonderful ways he touched the hearts of all who truly knew him, and of those of us who knew him through the art he gifted to us and left us with. I remember the morning my phone pinged with the notification of his passing and, even though I was right on the verge of falling asleep, I just... started sobbing. It was the from-the-depths-of-my-heart screams (I’m just relieved they weren’t shrieks) that startled my housemates awake and, thankfully, we all shared that moment of grief. If nothing else, I can honestly say that I miss you, sir. It will forever be shown in the single word I now say with respect and honor. To you. Always.
