The Sandman | Morpheus and Lucienne

MORPHEUS: And yet you remained while others fled, the royal librarian of an abandoned kingdom LUCIENNE: I never felt abandoned. I knew you would return.

#the sandman #sandman #tom sturridge #morpheus #dream of the endless #lucienne #vivienne acheampong #sue's things #sicvita:sandman #i love their relationship #the one person who'll call him out on his bullshit #and yet be so loyal to him #the way he had to lean on her at the start #and how she had to gently break it to him #that his beloved realm was destroyed #and then judge him for jumping into danger again #and then his unbending and his lil smile #their little interaction at the end!

The Sandman | the quiet devastation of Lord Morpheus 

LUCIENNE: With you gone as long as you were, the realm began to... decay and crumble.

MORPHEUS: Had they so little faith in me? Do my own subjects not know me?

#sandman #the sandman #tom sturridge #morpheus #sue's things #sicvita:sandman #he is so openly devastated and wrecked when he sees his realm #the tears in his eyes when he tries to fix things #and surveys the damage #MORPHEUS NEEDS A HUG #tom looks like andrew garfield in some frames

Tom Sturridge on becoming Morpheus

What is a dream if not the most lucid articulation of our true selves… He knows how everyone feels … and is in fact the most extraordinarily empathetic being but is managing this unstable thing which is the collective unconscious of the universe, this incredibly dangerous thing, just all of our feelings, and to manage that he has to push it all down into his belly and hide it because the consequences are disastrous…And I wanted to play someone who had that struggle. 

(BFI) 

There’s a line in the book where John Dee is driving with Rosemary and he says to her: “Dreams are real but they’re made of viewpoints, images, memories, puns and lost hopes” and I think my assembly of the pieces of the character is not dissimilar to that 

(Headliners podcast, BBC Radio 5 live) 

#tom sturridge #the sandman #sandman #morpheus #sicvita:sandman #sue's things #this was too beautiful #he GETS the character so well #neil you must be so proud #perfect casting #i feel extraordinarily fond of his morpheus

The Sandman | Morpheus + moments of rare uncertainty

Morpheus has thought every thought that ever has been thought across the millennia of his existence, so when he speaks, it’s etched in stone. He’s not discovering an idea in the moment. It’s clarity personified.” 

(Tom Sturridge, Rolling Stones)

#sandman #the sandman #tom sturridge #morpheus #calliope #Melissanthi Mahut #sue's things #sicvita:sandman #dream of the endless #his uncertainty and inability to put his suffering into words #living with ptsd #and yet he knows the experience changed him #and he's willing to acknowledge that change #and be raw and honest and uncertain with her
