— Emma Thompson in the commentary for Sense and Sensibility (1995)
I know what she’s actually saying is super important but my first thought was, “There’s a dvd edition with commentary tracks? With EMMA THOMPSON doing commentary? I wants it, precioussssss…”
“Is the Winter Soldier the world’s most dangerous assassin that’s ever lived or the world’s longest serving P.O.W.?” Anthony Russo asked. “Is he responsible for his actions since he was turned into the Winter Soldier, or is he innocent by reason of insanity? Where does this character live now? Is he ever going to be acceptable again to Cap in the way he once was, before he was the Winter Soldier? Those are the really complicated relationship questions and philosophical questions and emotional questions that intrigued us moving forward.” (x)
[ I got excited about a fic I found and then proceeded to tell Jessie about it. She needed some help identifying the Winter Soldier despite having seen the movie with me. I finally set her straight, and then the following exchange occurred. ]
Jessie: I have to admit that I thought the main guy was the Winter Soldier.
Me: What?
Jessie: The main character in the movie. I thought that was the Winter Soldier.
Me: That’s Captain America!
Jessie: I know that now, but I was confused. I thought they were the same person.
Me: I don’t–
Jessie: You know, Captain America, COLON, the Winter Soldier.
Me: Oh, Jessie. No.
Actually in the commentary on the Bluray one of the guys talks about the ways that Steve is the Winter Soldier, so, she’s not totally wrong, just unintentionally meta.
