    This is such a wonderful compilation of Carson. Authoritative, puzzled, old school, monarchist and in the end .... a teddy bear made of marshmallows; all in a span of a single video.

    Carson won my heart with that first exchange with the Dowager ("Well, we can always start with Mrs Crawley and Lady Grantham") and I think he was the perfect example of how modern changes affected a man so set in his ways as he was. I think he was the epitome of decorum and dignity and he carried that through all of the six seasons of the show

    Carson's bond with Mary is one of the strongest points of the show. He constantly defends her actions however reprehensible they may be, because he still sees her as the little girl he had a hand in raising. But above all he truly believes in the value system of the British aristocracy and wants to see it flourish, and so he understands that even though his role as a butler is to stand by his master, the future of Downton rests on the ability of the next generation to challenge the incumbent.

      Oh, does he ever. Remember how Mrs. Hughes said to Mary at the Schoolhouse (in celebration of their just having gotten married) that Mary could attack him with a brick and he would still (can't remember how she put it exactly) love her and how she could do no wrong. I had to laugh my rear bumper off on that one. And that was so the nail on its head.

    In my humble opinion Jim Carter perhaps doesn’t receive enough credit for how. talented of an actor he actually is .
    The role of Mr. Carson cannot be an easy part to portray and yet he did it flawlessly. A lot of it is showcased in this compilation. The different voice tones and cadences to express different emotions, the physical gestures, every eyebrow and look. Similar to the character of Mr Carson everything was in the details! He was fantastic and his performance probably greatly helped in making him my favourite character on the show.
    Hence, I greatly enjoyed watching this compilation but I personally think a lot of his best moments were left out. Then again it must not be easy to limit this video to only 10 minutes when he gave us 6 seasons and 2 movies of excellent content.

    • @rowanaforrest9792
      @rowanaforrest9792 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Indeed! And certainly, not even half of his best moments and scenes can fit into a 10-minute video. I heard a little joke about Jim Carter that I love, something like, "He's actually two actors in one -- himself and his eyebrows."

    My forever most beloved scene of Mr. Carson will be him taking out Miss Siby out of bed because she cries and talking to her. That was just such a wholesome scene and you can imagine from this few seconds, how he acted as a young man towards Lady Mary, which he, I assume, partly adores the most because she is the eldest of the Crawley sisters and occupied Mr. Carsons heart from the beginning.
    He is an amazingly composed character, portayed in a fascinating way by an extremely talented actor.
    I would state, he is one my favorite characters, but to be honest, basically the whole cast, the whole show, all the layers of the characters, their development and character arcs... Downton Abbey is, at least for me, the best made TV show ever, and I watch a lot of shows. I am still waiting for the next movie... new season... whatever, just give me more of this.

    The more I watched these episodes, the more I noticed that Carson never used slang words, and spoke in precise clear sentences. No sloppy pronunciation. Never slurred his words together.
    ETA I have to retract the “no slang words”. When the valet of Cora’s brother asks about Daisy, Carson repeats back to him that “there was nothing ‘going on with that fella’ “.

    The proposal was on of my favorite scenes from the show. You could see from the first episode that Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes were made for each other. BUT since in real life marriages between servants were HIGHLY discouraged during that time, I thought it was just going to be a continuing theme in the show.

    They will film the seventh season in Tangier, where the events will take place. Tangier, at the end of the 1920s, was an international zone governed by several countries, including Britain, France, Spain, and various other European nations, alongside an American presence. The city was home to a wealthy class, as well as numerous intellectuals, artists, and political activists. The social and cultural life was vibrant, and many events will unfold among the diverse communities living there. New stories will emerge for the main characters of the series, and new stars will appear.
    After Tangier, the events will move to the United States during the Great Depression. In Tangier, the story will begin with a hunting trip where Lord Crawley will hunt three Barbary lions. International newspaper correspondents present in Tangier at that time will report this news. Lord Crawley will transport these lions to the United Kingdom, where his accomplishment will impress everyone, making him famous in his homeland. He will present the three lions to the king, earning the king's admiration and receiving a new noble title.

      In the bustling city of Tangier, diversity wasn't just a fact of life; it was the very essence of its governance. Amidst the labyrinthine streets, each community governed by its own unique symbol of national pride. The British, with their majestic Barbary lions, symbolized strength and regality. Every morning, the proud French residents awakened the city with the crow of their rooster, a call to embrace the new day with vigor. The Italians, guardians of the night, boasted a pack of Italian wolves whose haunting howls echoed through the moonlit alleys. Meanwhile, the Spaniards showcased their prowess with bullfighting spectacles, their magnificent bulls reigning supreme in the ancient arena that still stood proudly within the city limits. And then there were the Dutch, known for their amiable cows, whose gentle demeanor belied the strength of their dairy industry.
      Yet, despite their differences, these communities coexisted in a delicate balance, each contributing to the vibrant tapestry of Tangier's cultural fabric. Together, they formed a mosaic of traditions, customs, and beliefs, enriching the city with their diversity and unity. And in the heart of Tangier, amidst the clash of cultures and the harmony of coexistence, the true essence of humanity thrived.

      The truth about the hunting of Barbary lions was undeniable, as these majestic creatures once posed a real danger to both humans and their livestock when they still roamed freely in the wild. Therefore, hunting them became an inevitable necessity.

      I know it makes a lot of people uncomfortable but hunting has been practiced by humans since the beginning of our existence. When you watch Downton Abbey you are watching a historical drama meaning many things are going to necessarily be outdated. Considering the nature of the tv show, if you made it this far you probably already watched many thing that should not be considered entertainment.
