More of Daniel Brühl on Just One Last Question with Frank Elstner:
Listen. I don't think it's an accident we haven't seen Daniel in many of the major chat shows like Fallon. Save for the press junkets that must be contractual for big Hollywood projects, he seems to be quite selective in the interview sessions he agrees to.
It tracks that he wouldn't do anything gimmicky like Thirst Tweets—can you imagine though?? this feral fandom would be the death of him—opting instead for a long and intimate format that focuses on his work, like DP/30. This one falls under that format but it's special. Apart from his Arte documentary, I've never seen him more relaxed and candid. For one, he's never talked about his family this much. Already posted about the time Dame Helen Mirren bit his neck, who can blame her really now gonna go over some other favorite moments...
Tumblr media
The way his entire face lights up when the host tells him about the time he worked with Daniel's (late) father:
Tumblr media
The adorable way his son thinks his father is a clown off to the circus:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The animated way he talks about his son:
Tumblr media
...and the almost bashful way he adds this afterthought:
Tumblr media
His mischievous reaction when the host asks about his wife's influence on raising their child:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The way he opens up about his perfectionism and other shortcomings:
Tumblr media
The way he pushes through his nervousness when the host drops this bombshell on him. (I'm all for hard-hitting questions but I was definitely like: HOW DARE YOU, SIR??)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The really long pause he takes when the host asks him when he last apologized to someone:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I first heard this referenced in Conversation with Juan Gabriel Vásquez at the Hay Festival, but he never really mentioned which movies of his actually made it to the shelf, so I was happy he did here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
...and you better believe I hollered my answers like I was on a quiz show. And I would have taken home the prize money because I scored 3/3 with Good Bye, Lenin!, Rush, and Inglorious Basterds.
p.s. shame as it is that we'll never see him squirm reading Thirst Tweets, I'm hoping someone will convince him to do Hot Ones. The depth of Sean Evans' questions will honestly surprise him. Also holding out hope that he'll be on The Graham Norton Show someday.

the jdcu: a comparative analysis in fact and fiction
Tumblr media
several months ago I watched the netflix program mindhunter. this was a normal experience until I found out it is based on a memoir -- the work of 77 year old ex FBI agent John Douglas (jd). indeed, he is the man behind every behavioral analyst character youve ever seen, most notably jack crawford of silence of the lambs/Thomas Harris's novels, which consulted him personally.
I could not believe that those jds -- jack crawford and far more, as it turns out -- were based on the same man that jd of the show mindhunter was based on. mindhunter tv's jd is like if m3gan was a gay keebler elf. his girlfriend tells him to use his womanly wiles on murderers to get them to talk! and he does so -- the harlot! I was stunned. 77 year old ex FBI agent John Douglas consented for this little freak to be his eidolon forever on netflix? who even IS John Douglas?
and so I am compelled by intellectual curiosity to ask: by watching all jds ever committed to screen, can we qualify the multitude that is jd? and, after hearing John Douglas speak on John Douglas in his own words, can we decide who among the many is the most accurate fictional depiction? to conduct this study which is a really good use of my time, we begin by sorting the fictional jds into two categories: slaygent and hard boiled detective. after this, we will compare them to jd in his own words -- that is, his memoir and his masterclass.
mindhunter tv: let us begin where the problem first surfaced. much has been said about patient zero holden ford. a youthful thirty, he begins a career of seducing real life serial killers to learn about their behavior and so forth. many times I asked: girl what kind of interview is this? in the interest of time I will simply say that this evil roomba created and defines the slaygent category.
silence of the lambs: the next logical move. here we encounter the original and most famous fictional jd: jack crawford. despite a strong effort to manufacture chemistry with jodie foster, he is sadly still a man. three words I would use to describe this jd are Svelte, Serves in a trenchcoat, and Succinct. he falls in the middle of the slaygent/hard boiled Venn diagram.
manhunter: this jack is adorned with a rare and compelling mustache. in one scene he shouts, AND I'D DO IT AGAIN! I was not paying attention at this point to what he would do again but I did not doubt he would do it. no dignity, all exhaustion. hard boiled.
Hannibal nbc: jack crawford receives a much needed reboot! Laurence fishburne gives a nuanced and honestly moving performance of a man for whom meaning is unraveling one day at a time. this jack is sartorially aware but practical, and remains empathetic despite his painful job. hard boiled
the alienist: dr laszlo is our first sherlock holmes* archetype -- somehow this has not cropped up before now. with his difficulty relating to people, his lovely coat with a fur collar, and his genuinely sharp observations, laszlo alienist emerges as a dark horse slaygent.
*due to its original publication date, Sherlock Holmes and successive properties are not relevant to a John Douglas study.
criminal minds (& related procedurals): cm's david rossi, along with his counterparts across other networks, are unilaterally hard boiled.
Tumblr media
though hardboiled jds prevail in quantity, slaygents are not necessarily an anomaly. now the moment of truth: is the real jd a holden ford or a jack crawford?
Mindhunter (book):
while reading this book I began to feel...discomfited. and not just because it's 400 pages of self aggrandizing ghostwritten prose. something was wrong. it wasn't until, in the last five pages of the gauntlet, that it all cohered.
jd and his wife separated because work kept him away, because he barely knew his children, and because when his daughter skinned her knee he couldn't find much empathy for the scrape because of the shit he saw all day. this isnt the unmarried antisocial slaygent ford who began our odyssey. this isn't even the stylish and heterosexual Jack Crawford of silence of the lambs, nor our mustachioed manhunter. a man who lacked empathy for his child? whose marriage crumbled? who thinks shrinks are dumb as hell? whose main recourse in difficult moments is to remind himself that serial killers are nothing but "inadequate losers" -- of no inherent interest to him outside of their contributions to his noble mission to stop serial killing?
whatever answer remains, however unfuckable, is the truth: holden ford -- and indeed any slaygent -- has never been John Douglas at all. even jack crawford is barely a jd himself. we've been overlooking the real jd all along. and he was right under our noses. hiding like the adder, right in plain sight.
the bill tench paradigm shift
a chain-smoking vet whose wife leaves him because he thinks their kid sucks? an unapproachable asshole clinging to his slippery moral high ground?
target locked.
but make no mistake. this is not yet a victory. if bill tench was right before us all along, then how many jds did I overlook with my narrow definition of a jd??? has hubris bested me again? who will we find now that the truth is blown open before us? how will we wrangle this new data into a useful paradigm? what does paradigm actually mean and can I use it in a sentence like that? questions we must answer.
I propose an ontological compromise. if we set slaygent at one end of a spectrum and the true jd at the other, we may examine all jds and potential jds without compromising the integrity of the real/tench jd, AND without ignoring the fact that slaygent ford is BILLED AS jd. indeed, slaygent and jd CAN coexist -- it is only that their differences must be accounted for.
below are MANY, though not every, possible jd.
Tumblr media
now to the final frontier: www.masterclass.com, where for the low low price of 100 dollars you can access celebrities just verbatim reading from their memoirs. literally just verbatim reading from them. like I'm not joking like you could just go to fucking barnes and noble.
mindhunter (masterclass by jd): the discovery of this masterclass was a windfall in my work (thank you cj). now, at last, to the knowledge gleaned. jd (real) is man with white hair and a very slight New York accent. he is well fit for his age with minimal male pattern baldness. he confirms everything we have discovered regarding the bill tench paradigm shift; gruff, to-the-point, sardonic. even his controlled mannerisms are tenchian.
and so I must ask: from whence did the slaygent archetype spring? and why did jd consent for the scary keebler elf to be his proxy? despite the depth of my work, I cannot access the mind of this man, nor the circumstances which gave rise to these anomalies in the continuum.
still. in the indefatigable spirit of jd himself, I feel a theory nipping, nibbling at my ear. I mentioned sherlock holmes before, and now some unwanted voice within me calls out that very name. is it Holmes who shapes the slaygents into his image, even from beyond the grave? has all of this been a prelude to the real work -- the work of examining and classifying every Holmes committed to screen?
like vercingetorix, exhausted by the struggle, here I toss down my arms. with or without me, though, the jd quest continues. what doors remain unopened? what slaygent homunculi lay in wait behind them? and what will become of us, if we knock?

So last night we’ve started to watch the Alienist on Netflix. I didn’t know much about this series and books before and maaan, this story is so freaking creepy. It’s soo sick.
And then from nowhere, they actually started to speak HUNGARIAN and then Daniel Brühl was speaking HUNGARIAN WITH A PERFECT FUCKING RHYTHM AND EMPHASIS , I DIED . He was like a native speaker.I’ve already loved him, but damn. It was hot.IT WAS HOT.

Ok, got a theory abt Skull.
I’ve just finished watching The Alienist on Netflix (highly recommend u go watch btw) and it got me thinking abt Dr Edmund Bickerstaff. Since he was supposed to be a ‘shrink’ (as Lucy stated) it’s clear he was a psychiatrist or at least worked with mentally ill patients.
This got me thinking abt how he met Skull. I don’t think anyone in the fandom of Lockwood & co actually knows how old Skull is (or at least how old he used to be) but I’d hazard a guess he was in his late teens to late 20s. But, how would someone as twisted as Bickerstaff recruit someone that young (compared to him of course) and trust him enough for him to be his loyal companion and servant. I doubt they were related in some way since the research into the Bone Glass showed that the Bickerstaff family was very well known, so if they were related there would have been a record.
This is where the part abt The Alienist comes in. Many children in the late 1800s that didn’t conform to what society deemed appropriate were thought to be hysterical or insane. So, their families would take them to see an ‘alienist’, which is essentially an outdated term for a psychiatrist, and leave them in their care. This is how I believe Skull met Bickerstaff and became infatuated with him and his rituals.
What if, Skull was an orphaned child that got into quite a bit of trouble (maybe stealing, arson, or maybe worse) and was eventually caught by the police. Given how he acts, I think they would have called in a very popular and respected alienist to give him a look over and see what they should do abt him.
Enter Dr Edmund Bickerstaff.
Without parents and nowhere to go, he would have been seen as a prime servant for the Dr to take advantage of. There was no one that would care enough that he was gone and to any authorities that might suspect him of foul behaviour, he was just another poor child in a big industrial city, who would care what happens to him? After he was taken in by Bickerstaff, Skull was now loyal to him. He gave him a roof over his head, since I’m assuming he stayed with the doctor, and gave him a purpose.
So, that’s my theory on how those two met but I haven’t finished reading the books yet so if I’ve got any details wrong then please call me out on it but please please PLEASE don’t spoil anything.
I beg 🥺🙏

Update on my reading
So, I'll be honest and say I didn't read much since last update. For what I got to read, I'm really happy because of how closer we get into some character's humanity (feelings, thoughts, etc.).
But still, school and anxiety are KILLING me, so I'm not sure when I'll finish The Angel of Darkness and watch the second season, and then rewatch the entire show and reread the books to write my opinions and reviews.
But I'm not giving up. Even if all I do is take care of my school development and read The Alienist, I'm determined in finishing my ideas this year.
