Alan Rickman is one of my favorite actors. I cannot say much more other than that because...just because. His acting is so superb and so real that it makes my sides feel thorns creeping up.
His acting needs no accompanying music, simply his expression and his deep embrace of the character he is in. That is a true artist, one who is so experienced and so persistent in his efforts to be good at the role he is in. The artist who can hide their true self behind every new mask their character requires is truly versatile.
He will always be best Severus Snape, ther can be no remake of the movie or his role in them.
When Harry kneels down next to him after Snape succumbs to his wounds, the timeless expression of love for Harry makes me want to cry. I want to tell myself it is only a movie, and that these are only people, who are the same flesh and bone. But that is what makes human experiences so special. We were born with a face with which to carry out all of our emotions... but what happened on the screen touched my heart.
That all I have to say about that.
