I love the title. Could you talk a little bit about it?
ALAN RICKMAN
Well, the title refers to, I suppose, a kind of wonderment that Blalock has about the skill that Vivien had in suturing. You know, these stitches that he put in the arteries were so beautiful and small.
Because we're talking about impossibilities here. They're operating in a space this big, and then you're talking about arteries the size of a piece of spaghetti, and somehow they're sewing the inside and the outside with two different stitching techniques to get them to join on to the pulmonary artery. So it's an extraordinary skill. So, he says, this looks like something the lord made.

In bringing the character of Blalock to life, did you find that you liked him as a person?
ALAN RICKMAN
Well, whenever I play any character I never judge them, so it's important for me not to have those kind of opinions. It's not like I like him or dislike him. I just play him. And it's for other people to make those judgements.
I'm on the inside looking out. It's for you to decide whether you like him or dislike him. But I think he's a complicated person.
He was a brilliant teacher in later life, and he also was responsible for promoting the careers of many of the young doctors that worked with him. So, his eye was always on a kind of wider picture.
вообще, все интервью Рикмана и НВО очень информативно для фана, по моему мнению. И нетрудно для понимания в смысле языка. Больше http://yacht.zamok.net/DV/Potter/Posters/Rickman/something_lord.html"]тут[/URL].
