    I am 58 and I have never seen a better movie in my life than Room with a View. Saw when I was around 21 y/o and it has been my favorite ever since.

      Her name is Debbie Greenwood. Former model turned TV presenter who seemed to be everywhere on British daytime TV in the 1980s.

    His portrayal of Cecil was wonderful and so perfectly drawn. I love seeing how different actors are in real life from the characters they play. The contrast here couldn't be sharper. Goes to show what a tremendous job he did with Cecil.

    "My Beautiful Laundrette's" Johnny was followed by Cecil Vyse of "A Room With A View". Two roles that appear to be at the opposite ends of the universe. DDL went on to inhabit one astonishingly unique role after another.

    DDL's interpretation and characterization of Cecil in RWAV stands out as this singular jewel of a performance. Whereas the rest of the cast moved brilliantly in syncopation as a cohesive unit both in tone and texture. Daniel played Cecil stylistically different and set a delightfully incongruous tone and timing against the rest of the cast . Bumping into the other characters like an awkward moment in every scene. Then, on his final moment as he sits down on the stairs after being rejected by Lucy, he slows down and imbues his character with smoothness, reverence, depth and authenticity.

    "I have no profession. My attitude - quite an indefensible one - is that as long as I am no trouble to anyone, I have the right to do as I like. It is, I dare say, an example of my decadence" - Cecil Vyse lmao.

    how he says he feels for Cecil reminded me of something Merl Street said on the dvd extras of Kramer vs, Kramer about her charachter. That she felt like she needed to protect her charachter because she was so vulnerable. Both amazing actors.

    Despite everything, I really like Cecil (mainly because it's DDL) because he's politely asking her consent to kiss her while the "other one" just assaults her when nobody's watching. That was meant to be romantic at that time, but after 20th century we're so done with that aggressive manly fowardness we're going back to the better old values, I guess. DDL's roles are always timeless.

    I think Daniel gave Cecil some humanity but also relished playing him and possibly modelled on pretentious people he knew. It’s also his comedic performance- the precious scene when he’s swatting flies or something whilst drinking tea. He’s certainly not taking himself seriously. 😮There’s an element of Oscar Wilde in the performance- and Daniel has proved since that he can do anything. The Last Mohican, the Mission, the Age Innocence and so may more ,

    I don't think it negatively reflects on anyone for wanting to play Cecil Vyse or seeing themselves in him. The character showed great capacity to reflect and learn about himself. He was dynamic. He saw the error of his ways. I did feel sorry for him when he had to suddenly face his reality and in a slightly embarrassing way.
