I love Alan Rickmann in this movie, but it does seem like he is in a whole other movie compared to the rest. He is so over the top insane. It's so beautiful. With so awesome lines like: "That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas." "You. My room. 10:30 tonight. You. 10:45... And bring a friend." "What a beautiful child. So young, so alive, so unaware of how precarious life can be. I had a very sad childhood, I'll tell you about it sometime. I never knew my parents; it's amazing I'm sane."
