This year, we already got devastating losses of two important and wonderful person. One was David Bowie, and the other was the cold, sarcastic, tragic Professor Severus Snape, who was performed by none other the talented Sir Alan Rickman.
Both people were extraordinary in their own ways, and established themselves excellently, however since I don't really know much about David Bowie and not a fan of him, I'll give my thoughts here about Mr. Rickman.
True, I didn't watch all of his performances and films, except for Professor Snape, and as the voice of Absolem, the blue caterpillar in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I have watched Rasputin: Dark Servant of Destiny in you tube where he starred as the staret Grigori Rasputin, but I didn't watch the whole movie, I didn't see his scenes as Rasputin and I only see the scenes of the royal family.
Nevertheless, I also thought that he was one of the greatest actor in the world, he always performed his role in an amazing way that gives a great result. His performance as Severus Snape is apparently his best performance ever, as he perfectly played the role in his ambiguous character, and not as a villain we suspected of Snape at first. When we read the first book and watch the first movie, we all maybe resented Snape like Harry at first, because how he treated Harry, cruel and unsympathetic, however he also saved him, which make us doubt whether he is a good guy or a bad guy. Luckily, the books were all published earlier than the movie's releases, and so some of us will found out that Snape was not a bad guy we thought at first, but a more ambiguous person, and by the time the last book was published, we finally know that he is a good guy, but also a tragic person. And it made Mr. Rickman more easy to potray the ambiguity of Snape's characters in the movies, which probably made the fans felt more sympathetic for him, even make him quite popular with some fans.
So, I'm going to say some farewell for him, and here it is:
For Mr. Alan Rickman
I never know about you that much, but you are the one and only Severus Snape! I think nobody could play the character as wonderful as you do. You gave all the energy and hard work to play him, and I thought you do it extremely well. You make him more likable for us, and like some Potter fans, I always thought that he is one of the most important characters in the series, and you're one of the most brilliant actor in the movies.
The news about your death really crushed hard your Potter cast mates, the author and your close friend J. K. Rowling, and all of the Potter fans, because you're really a nice person, in contrast to the roles you often play, I was also quite shocked by the news of your death, it seems to be very sudden that you have to leave this world, but you'll always be remember in our hearts and memories for your dedication and hard work in playing Professor Snape and your other roles.
RIP Mr. Rickman and Professor Snape, may your soul be in peace forever.
