As a long-time fan of Kevin Smith and his unique cinematic universe, I wholeheartedly agree that “Dogma” is undoubtedly his masterpiece. The film’s charm lies not only in its witty dialogue but also in the unforgettable performances, especially Alan Rickman‘s portrayal of Metatron. His character added a layer of depth and humor that elevated the movie to new heights.
From my perspective, I believe “Dogma” is Kevin Smith’s finest work among all his films, making it a pity that it’s challenging to find a copy of it. A significant factor in my fondness for the movie is the captivating performance by the late Alan Rickman as Metatron, an angel. Interestingly, in a recently posted video, Smith recounted a humorous episode with Rickman, who starred in “Love Actually,” that disclosed an amusing fact about how the “Harry Potter” series actor coincidentally lived close to Ralph Fiennes – known as Voldemort in the series – in reality.
In a video posted to his Instagram, Kevin Smith reflected on how his friendship with Alan Rickman extended well beyond the Dogma set. Whenever the Silent Bob performer found himself in England, the Sweeney Todd actor would make an effort to attend his shows, showing his support in a way that always surprised the director. It was during one of these visits in London that Rickman shared a particularly amusing concern about his new apartment in New York City.
The filmmaker behind “Red State” fondly reminisced about a chat he had with Alan Rickman, the captivating antagonist from “Die Hard.” Rickman confided that after much resistance, he’d finally purchased an apartment in New York. However, he hadn’t foreseen a problem—he’d neglected to consider the possibility of living in the same building as his friend and co-star from the “Harry Potter” films, Ralph Fiennes. According to the director of “Tusk,” Rickman then joked that the late actor had found an unexpected issue with the move.
In a simpler rephrasing:
Pondering an amusing yet unsettling idea: What if followers found out their cherished screen adversaries or companions lived side by side? Kevin Smith chuckled recalling it, referring to the scenario as quite a spectacle.
… Adorable.
More on Kevin Smith
Did you know that Kevin Smith mistakenly thought he was texting George R.R. Martin about a movie role, but it turned out to be someone else? The confusion led to some amusing results.
Indeed, I concur with him. The tale they share is truly charming, focusing on the late, illustrious English actor, Alan Rickman. While many may only recognize him for his stern and powerful portrayal of Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films, this acknowledgement is unsurprising given his memorable performance in that series. Yet, the director of Cop Out reveals a more light-hearted side to the actor that fans seldom witnessed—a man who was mindful of the influence of his art on his supporters yet remained amused by it all, preserving his distinct sense of humor.
For enthusiasts of the ‘Galaxy Quest’ series, this story offers a charming peek into the man behind the cherished characters. Although obtaining a copy of ‘Dogma’ might require a substantial budget, you can re-experience Alan Rickman’s performances in the ‘HP’ series, as all films are streamable with a Peacock subscription.
