Thomas was never evil. He just hasn't been loved enough.
When I began watching DA, I never knew Thomas would be my favorite character. He was so unhappy and just wanted to be loved and a place where he felt he belonged to. When I heard a movie were being made I only wanted to see Thomas finally happy. I'm glad they did him justice.
I was drawn to Him from the very beginning, I'm glad I never abandon Him, because He did have a heart after all!
Couldn't agree more.
Same
Thomas is the reason I've re-watched DA about 30 times in a row. Such a complicated and charming character. Like, WHO changed THAT much during the 6 seasons? Nobody! It's only Thomas who went through his transformation, and through suicide he discovered the reason that is making him unhappy, and actually DID try to become a BETTER PERSON. Nobody else in the entire series did that. No such transformation among ALL other characters. Am I going to watch the DA movie?? Hell, I AM! And that's 95% because of Thomas Barrow.
I came for Anna and Bates stayed for Thomas
@@cassieearle9196 same here :) I sort of liked the actor who played Bates in other movies, I was like "whoa! he's here! should be a good one!.." and then Thomas Barrow came in.
Yessss!!!
His character always makes me cry...
It is so sad.
He was abused as a child, he's gay, he has to completely hide himself, he's chemically castrating himself to become normal, he attempts suicide, he loathes himself, he's depressed, he's rejected.
like to hug THOMAS BARROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's heavily implied he was sexually abused as a child. Most gays were molested by the same sex.
Phuck him! Can’t stand his character.
@@realniggashit3 actually, he says that himself in the 5th season to Miss Baxter, when she says his father was kind to her. Thomas replies: "has he? Because he's never been kind to me".
@@tequilashots875 i will not accept this thomas slander
Not to mention he was on the front lines of the World War 1!
How is it possible that I haven’t seen this before ? He’s one of the best DA characters and I always loved him. Love this!!
Rob James Collier puts in an acting masterclass as Thomas Barrow. He plays the role so convincingly and no matter how bitchy and conniving Thomas is, you can't help but love him, because he's a tortured soul, who just wants to be accepted and loved 🙄
I perfectly understand why he hated Bates almost all the time. He worked his whole life, just to make it steady and to feel safe somewhere. He found abbey and he was a really good worker(well, he could steal some wine, yeah, but even Carson stole some products for his friend, I don't see much difference). He was almost a valet, but then Bates came, so his hopes were ruined. Of course, you would be jealosing, if you've been hard working, but all of the sweets are coming to a new guy. And you know, if Mr. Bates didn't come, Thomas probably wouln't have been thrown out of house at the end. I mean, how can we see, Bates was a valet all this time, so Thomas wouln't really have to think about where to go after being kicked out. So yeah, his fears about this new valet were totally reasonable, it did get him into trouble.
Also I want to say that it's easy to say that everyone has to be nice when you don't have a really bad life experience. I mean, I'm not saying that Anna, Bates or anyone else always had a sunny days, no, everyone went through some rainy days. But, as we know, they don't have this permanent problem that becoming heavier every day, so it's really difficult to carry it on your own. Everyone has troubles, yeah, but some of us just don't have a lot of reasons to get up in the morning. Thomas was waking up every day, opening his eyes and understanding that this day wouldn't be any easier than any other. He was understanding, that there is no one in the whole world who misses or thinks about him. We all feel this way sometimes, but somewhere deeper we know that there can be our parents, friends or anyone else who cares, so we were alright eventually. And Thomas knew that it wasn't true for him. I just don't have any idea about how could he coped with all of it. So yeah, it's easy to be nice when you have support from your close people.
👏🏻❤
I'm literally crying at your words. You described all his feelings so accurately and painfully. When I look at Thomas, I realize how strong he is, despite all the prejudices about gays. He also gives all the same lost and lonely people hope for rebirth, correction and finding their place, their love and their happiness. God, I'm still crying
@@alma1l РОДНАЯ ДУША. Страдаем из-за Томаса по всему миру👏👏👏
An analysis very well thought through and expressed.
Thanks, now I am crying! I didn't really liked him in the beginning, but by the end he became my favourite character with Matthew. He's surely the most complex, intriguing and fascinating character out there. I just love him. Rob James-Collier played Thomas just perfectly... now I have to watch the movie!
Julian Fellowes created a Gay character in his series, and showed how difficult it was to live in such a homophobic society, but somehow couldn't conceive that there would be other Gay men "in service" that he could encounter.
It was very much a "don't ask, don't tell" kind of thing. Also that's fixed in the film.
Not at all. He didn't do that at all. he fully adresses the broadness of homosexual culture in the era. I think that Thomas is just very sheltered at Downton. At least it's made out that way in the film
i watched DA many months ago but from time to time i feel the need to return to that exact character because he has the most deep, tragic background story i've ever seen. here i am again, crying:(
Where are the million beautiful comments? This is profound !
Deborah Greene i appreciate this, thank you ☺️
He definitely is my favorite character and I relate to him on a personal level. Even in the early seasons I could understand exactly what he was going through and why he acted how he did, I don't think he was ever evil he just needed someone who cared for the real him
Spoiler for a movie:
I'm very glad that they gave him Richard. Yes, it's kinda looks as a dream(and a whole movie too, but anyway), but it was important to see. I felt happy, because they showed that there will be happiness if you wait, it inspires somehow. Even Thomas Barrow can get what he needed for about 30 years of cold loneliness.
And that's all for today, I just REALLY needed to tell someone all of it, but no one around watched downton) Sorry for my bad english, I' m not a native speaker, hah. And thanks again💕
Wonderful editing. Thank you for showing everything so I don't have to rewatch series almost only for him. And now I'm going to write a huge text(sorry, I need to say a lot of stuff) Thomas is truly a complex character as everyone says. He built his life using his own hands, energy and spirit - there was no one who could/wanted to help him, he is quite strong. I don't want to say that I feel like we are similiar, because I never was really bad behaving with anyone, but there are bad periods in my life that can be long. When nothing good happens to me and the whole world seems to be the darkest place in the universe, I feel this anger growing inside of me. Not like I'm becoming evil, but every time I feel that I don't want to waste my energy for pretending that I'm happy for someone, for doing something that I don't want, or I don't want to endure anyone’s rudeness anymore. You know, it feels like you have already been through a lot of things and then, when something seems to be joking with you, you just don't let it joking any way you can, even if you are being mean and not fair to someone. I'm not saying that it can be a good reason for being bad with people, no, of course it's better not to hurt anyone, but I'm trying to say that I certainly understand why he does everything that we see. Even in season one, when he was a real jerk - you can ask me about every his action and I will answer. I just think that if you meet a person who is kinda mean and seems to have really cold nature, you shouldn't judge him immediately. Of course, I met people who weren't nice at all and I could even hate them, but EVERY time, may be at the very ending, I discovered or I was told about their life problems(for example, one had a really bad father, who was beating him. And his Mother was always at the work or in some other place, so he never felt the warmth of living in family). It can be difficult to do, but Thomas is a great example - every time someone was nice to him, he tried to change and do good things. Remember Jimmy? He always tried to showed his best sides. Or Baxter. She helped him, so he tried to be friends with her. He even started to respect Molesley, because he knew that Baxter likes Molesley. He always asks "what's the matter?" when he sees that Anna or Daisy are upset, because they are the ones who sometimes shows that they understand him and even give some support
Why, oh, WHY am I listening to this in the background whilst working??? Thomas makes me sob :')
I cried.. I love Thomas so much the sweetheart
To the best character that ever existed on TV.
and this is art, truly. Best video of him.
This is so amazing! He’s such a complex and beautiful character❤️
This is so good I genuinely cried watching it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love Thomas. He's a hero.
Heartbreaking, beautiful character. 💔
Stunning 💔🌹
By far my favorite character of the show and one of my favorite characters of all time. Thanks so much for making this I have literal tears
Oh god this video made me SOB. I have always loved Thomas, since the very beginning and I just knew that he was deserving of love and affection even if both he and others couldn’t realize it until it was almost to late. He is the reason I watch and rewatch the show endlessly. As a bitchy, gay, sarcastic person I just see so much of myself in him, the walls he has created, the wish that he could just be ✨normal✨, the compulsive need to be loved and how in the process of protecting himself from the world he just ends up harming himself. Seriously, I have never identified with a character so much and I cannot bring myself to understand the people who hate him. (Also I truly appreciated how it never was a question of who he was or who he loved to him, because confusion is almost always present in LGBTQ+ characters in media and it’s refreshing to see someone who knows who he is (at least in that respect))
I saw a comment somewhere that said "He's mean because no one's ever been kind to him in his entire life." Bro... he has to watch everyone else find love and get to be happy while he'd be thrown in jail if he tried to do the same. Ugh. I love him sm
This video made me cry, because I always felt like Thomas was being abused and not appreciated by basically everyone else. He's absolutely my favorite character in the whole show because he's so funny, smart and brave, and I love him so much❤
Thomas has definitely been my favorite character from the start, & I'm sad that he gets so much dislike. I mean I can see why people find him annoying, esp. at the beginning, but I just never saw him that way. It's great that people have come to see him for what he is though and that as the show progresses, we also get to see his good sides, so that everyone gets to have more sympathy for him. I'm currently rewatching the whole series and ngl am so excited to go through the emotional turmoil all over again. ❤️🥺
Best video ever. You capture Thomas’ complex nature perfectly. I rewatched it at last 20 times and it never fails to make me cry.
thomas is the character i can related to the most. seeing him suffering and not being able to express himself breaks my heart to watch...he thinks that he is an evil and sly bastard as everybody says but he is suffering bc he is a kind hearted sensitive person deep down.
I can't express how much I love the character of Thomas Barrow. In the first two seasons I was unsure and I kind of disliked him from time to time (I think everyone did.) But as soon as you find out a bit more about him and why he behaves the way he does, he's probably the greatest character in the whole series (after Lady Sybil of course). I love Thomas to bits and I also wish a happy ending for him (with Richard of course.. even if it's only in our imagination 😍)
This video edit is WONDERFUL!!! I loved every second of it!!!
Thomas has been my favourite character since season one, he is such a complex and deep character! If only others understood that the problem was not his lack of heart, but the lack of people who loved him, cared about him, truly knew him and understood him ... (Stop reading if you have not seen the film.)
I was so happy when he finally received the happiness and the love he truly deserved. Not only by Richard, but also by other characters like ms Baxter, who started to understand and support him, and to overcome all the prejudices people had about him. He also had a great (but really sad) storyline and character developement🖤🖤🖤
(At some point, I just wanted to hug and confort him)
first time I watched DA I didn't give it too much attention ,but moving through the seasons I realized I was searching for Thomas in each episode, I wasn't even sure why.Now rewatching the series I get it!
Great upload, Thank you :((
Is it crying over Thomas Barrow hours again? Yes yes it is 😭😭😭😭😭
This is simply beautiful!
This video is perfect. Give it to a person who dislikes Thomas and the person will love him at the moment! I really love this video 😍
This is so beautiful!
Thomas never was a bad person. Just people didn't understand him. I would love to be a friend with him, a real one
I love this man so much ❤
Lovely
It’s so perfect❤️
Fantastic edit
My heart physically ached watching this 🥺
I hate you for making this perfect edit :( it really made me cry. Rob Collier is a genius actor, he can really captivate the viewer and make them feel everything
I was not expecting myself to cry this much, GREAT JOB WITH THE EDITING
He really is a character you love to hate. I remember after season one thinking oh good he’s gone and then being annoyed when I saw him at the beginning of season 2. I think what struck me the most was when he purposely got shot, at first I thought what a coward, and then he’s cradling his hand saying thank you for my salvation. Like dear lord such complexity!
I always rooted for this character. Always downtrodden and at times it may have seemed appropriate but considering what he had to fight it's not surprising. That I should find such a person.
Imagine Thomas Barrow in bowtie with a cigarette in his mouth and says "Bond, James Bond".
I just to give THE BIGGEST AND WARMEST HUG to Thomas 😭❤️
This is an amazing edit. Thomas is such a complex and tortured character, you captured him perfectly! I don't mean to be a bother, but I've been trying to find scenepacks and logoless episodes to download of the series, I can't seem to find ANYTHING, do you know where I would be able to find some?
Nat bad i lake it Good job
He made me cry with him in season 2 when the blind guy committed suicide. Then I knew Thomas Barrow would surprise me one day.
YEAHH that was so heartbreaking to watch ;(
Thomas Borrow is me favourite throughout in downtown abbey. Am smitten at his bravery and a beautiful heart. Mrs Hughes said that Thomas you haven't met the right one yet, and then he did -Richard. Luv Mini
There was a Merchant-Ivory movie "Maurice", an adaptation of E M Forster's posthumous novel about the travails of a closeted young man in roughly the same time period. In despair of his "aberrant" nature, the eponymous hero goes to a quack hypnotist (Ben Kingsley) to be "cured". The hypnotist gives Maurice the sage advice of moving to a country where homosexuality is legal "as the British will never understand human nature". According to a film critic who attended the preview performance, there was a gasp of sympathetic agreement from the largely English audience at this observation.
Bertie Pelham's cousin Peter took that course of action - and found both artistic and sexual fulfillment in Tangiers.
I'm so glad you mentioned Maurice! The adaptation of E.M. Forster's story -- with , aws you mentioned, the great Ben Kingsley as the creepiest quack conversion therapist ever -- also came to mind ewhen Thomas Barrow nearly died from the Conversion therapy ! For those who have missed Maurice-- most of you are probably half my age, the film showcased 3 major stars early in their careerrs as well: Hugh Grant, Rupert Graves, and James Wilby. It was very daring for its time, as though Maurice follows a love story between two young men at Cambridge, one must marry. The title character, Maurice, is so frightened of the very high likelihood of blackmail, arrest, and ruin (even the son of a Duke is arrested and sentenced to years in prison ) that he almost misses a second chance at love. I love this film, and when it was released in 1987, it was still early in the AIDS crisis in the US, and if it weren't for beautiful period pieces from the Brits -- Another Country with Rupert Everett and Cary Elewes is another that comes to mind -- the few films with gay protagonists were very bleak films which reflected the fear and lack of information and treatments for AIDS. In terms of American Film's, Mart Crowley's brilliantly written ensemble film "Boys in the Band" ireleased in the early seventies about 5 very different friends--in the West Village Pre-Stonewall -"Summer '68" is written on a wall is the one MUST SEE for fans or collectors of great movies.
Hi! Where did you download the episodes from?

At first, I didn't like Thomas. Not as much like O'Brien, but still. I knew he has a sad storym, but I still didn't like him. But later, especially when my favorite character dies, I started realise how interesting character he is, with such a development. I love Thomas! (espiecially on the finale, when he was...nice).
Watched this and still disliked his character.
Hm maybe you should take a look at your life’s decisions…
@@justalittlefamous7938 dude that's my opinion...get over it!
