"FRESH FROM THE DARK HEART OF AFRICA"

TimesOnline, By Patrica Nicol (March 26nd, 2006)

Hugh Dancy won’t forget his role in Shooting Dogs, filmed in Rwanda. Patrica Nicol meets the actor who’s been billed as the next great Hugh The organisers of tomorrow night’s premiere of Shooting Dogs will be praying against rain. Not because a wet night might deter the paparazzi from snapping scantily clad C-listers on the red carpet, but because the film is being shown in an open-air, 10,000-capacity stadium in Kigali, Rwanda. Its makers hope thousands of Rwandans, Hutu and Tutsi, will flock to the free screening of a film shot in their capital in 2004, which employed novice local actors and crew to work alongside established British names. At this time of year, however, the city can be at its wettest.

Whatever the weather, Hugh Dancy will be there, along with his co-star, John Hurt, the director, Michael Caton-Jones, and the producer, David Belton, a former journalist on whose memories of covering the 1994 genocide of 800,000 people the film is based. “It’s incredibly daunting to be returning to show the finished film,” says the 30-year-old Dancy, who counts the time filming in Kigali as his most rewarding working experience to date. In Shooting Dogs, he plays Joe, a young, idealistic, middle-class British graduate working as a voluntary teacher in a Catholic secondary school in Kigali. The school is also home to a Belgian UN peacekeeping force’s encampment. After the country descends into murderous chaos following the assassination of President Habyarimana, hundreds of Tutsis seek sanctuary there. When the UN soldiers are ordered to pull out, the Tutsis’ fate is sealed. Joe must decide whether to stay and die alongside them, or flee with the other whites and live the life he has just begun feeling his way towards. Joe’s dilemma drives the film’s marketing campaign: “What would you risk to make a difference?” challenge the posters. The character of Joe is an invention — an amalgam of a number of idealistic young westerners whom Belton remembers. However, the bloody butchery, vividly depicted, is not. The international community did vacillate, then turn its back on a genocide. The school did exist. Indeed, just over a decade after its walls bore witness to a massacre, the Shooting Dogs crew arrived to use it as their film set. “Strangely, it was only when I got back to Britain around Christmas time that the responses I’d expected to have there suddenly surfaced,” says Dancy. “I got quite depressed,” he adds, smiling ruefully. “I had expected it to be an emotional experience, which it was, and which it remains in my life. But in Rwanda, the genocide is an everyday fact for everyone, and they basically, and astonishingly, just get on with it. To have an excessive emotional response while talking to people there would be inappropriate.” A thoughtful, easy-mannered, funny and fresh-faced actor, the lithe Dancy looks younger than his 30 years. He was bitten by the acting bug early, and performed through school and university. But simple luck has played its part, too: shortly after he left Oxford, a chance acquaintance introduced him to the agent Dallas Smith, whose clients include Kate Winslet. In the eight years since being signed on the spot, Dancy’s CV has ranged from modelling opposite Kate Moss in a Burberry campaign to playing the Earl of Essex to Helen Mirren’s Elizabeth I. He was hailed as “thinking woman’s crumpet” after he starred as Daniel Deronda in the BBC’s acclaimed costume drama. More times than he cares to remember, he has been billed as the next great hope of British acting, or even just as the next great Hugh. (Like Hugh Grant, he’s a public-school product: the son of a university philosopher, he attended the Dragon prep school, then Winchester, before reading English at Oxford.) “Isn’t that just the way that people like to write about actors?” he says, grinning. “I can’t say I’ve noticed any trend.” Whatever the career trajectory, Shooting Dogs is his biggest starring role to date: the one where his name gets first billing on the posters. When he first auditioned, Joe was written as an Irish Catholic. “But Michael Caton-Jones said, ‘I have no interest in you playing him as Irish, because I don’t want any kind of pretence.’ Looking back, I know exactly what he meant, but at the time I felt, ‘Well, that is what I do for a living.’” For a British audience, the ease of identifying with Joe is one of the film’s successes. He is a conduit through whose eyes we witness the diabolical. To some, this will be a weakness of the film, that once again Africa is being interpreted through a white man’s experience. “My character does evoke a mixed response, especially in America,” says Dancy. “But I don’t think of this as being a white movie. In fact, to address how and why the genocide happened and not to include the white world is missing one of the main points. To say this is a black story is to repeat the logic of the people who refused to get involved in 1994. Also, importantly, though the movie is my character’s story, what happens is not Joe’s tragedy.” There have, of course, been other films on the subject, notably Hotel Rwanda. “One approach to addressing human tragedy on this scale is to look for light in the darkness, which is what Hotel Rwanda does,” says Dancy. “The other approach is to realise that the light is really very dim, and that to focus on it is perhaps a little mendacious. I hope that Shooting Dogs is to some extent a hopeless movie. It doesn’t try to pretend there is some enduring greatness to humanity.” After a frenetic 2004 and 2005 for Dancy, the pace has slowed. When we meet, he is sporting some curious facial topiary, nurtured for a part he is up for in a period drama to be shot in Spain. In the meantime, he has been in Los Angeles, “but more because my long- term girlfriend (the artist Annie Morris) had work there”. In London, the editing of Blood and Chocolate, a werewolf flick he shot in Romania last year, is about to start. “I don’t play a werewolf, but a human. In fact, an American human. Not that the two are mutually exclusive,” he adds, laughing. There seems a contradiction, I conjecture, between the tabloid Dancy — an A-list invitee, regularly photographed with pals such as Sienna Miller — and the philosopher’s-son actor in morally meaty projects like Shooting Dogs. “Hmm, do you mean, do I hang out?” he drawls languidly, before laughing. “In well-chosen, supposedly anonymous, but not actually that anonymous spots? Well, not to an obscene degree ... probably just to the degree before it becomes obscene.” He adds that there is no point in holding out for more projects such as Shooting Dogs. “You just won’t get an experience like that very often,” he says. “And you can’t be too precious. At the end of the day, your mission is to entertain, even if sometimes it’s a challenging form of entertainment. You can’t fall into the trap of thinking, ‘This is something important.’ The story still has to be well told.”

She doesn’t want to discuss her private life but she goes gooey over a baby in the restaurant to the point that I think I see a tear form in her eye, and she does say she may end up moving to New York. “Living in a city! It’s like observing alien life forms to me. I’ve never lived on less than an acre of land.” She’s never really grasped the concept of daytime. “I am nocturnal to the point of insomnia.” And does it freak you out when the dawn starts coming up? “The creeping dread?” she asks, like it’s the name of a mutual friend. “Oh yeah. And by the way, I live next door to roosters that start going at that time. So when you’re still awake, it’s the sonic, age-old message that you’re a complete f***-up.

Repost from @timesonline - World War II veteran Stephen Domitrovich, 92, remembers his service Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, from his living room in Beaver. He survived the massacre at Malmédy, Belgium, where between Dec. 16, 1944, and Jan. 13, 1945, German soldiers executed about 350 Americans who had surrendered and were prisoners-of-war along with 100 Belgian civilians during the Battle of the Bulge. "The whole thing came out of me all the time," he said, haunted by the memories. "I never want to go through it again."

I’m so interested in the “Controversies” section of the Wikipedia page for The Bugle podcast. I’ve taken a screenshot of it, and cropped that screenshot to include the heading of the next section, so you can really see that the text below makes up the entire section on controversies. There’s an another paragraph that explains further.

I love that this is their only controversy. And I mean, I know it isn’t. I’ve read enough about the episodes I haven’t yet reached to know that when the News International phone hacking scandal broke in 2011, they really intensely criticized everyone who was remotely responsible for it, despite the fact that their own podcast was distributed by TimesOnline, which was owned by News International. Shortly after that they were dropped by TimesOnline and had to start running independently, funded by donations. Basically, it was an early version of that thing where John Oliver is always talking shit about AT&T on Last Week Tonight, despite AT&T owning HBO and therefore being what he calls his “business daddy”. In fact, now that I write this, I wonder if that’s where John got the idea for the “AT&T business daddy” running joke on Last Week Tonight.

Anyway, that is not listed in the controversies section of the Wikipedia page. Just this one. I really enjoy thinking about what the biggest controversy here is. Could there be any debate about how many episodes Nish Kumar has actually done? Sometimes they do “sub-issues” that may or may not count as regular episodes, so if he appeared in any of those then there could be a controversial issue of whether they should add to Nish’s total number of appearances.

Is it because he called Bugle listeners who keep these stats “fucking nerds”? Because that may be one of the most accurate uses of that term I’ve ever seen. It does not get a lot nerdier than keeping stats on The Bugle podcast. Maybe going to a D&D convention in full cosplay as the original character you’ve been painstakingly developing over the last ten years? But even that has a social element. Still less nerdy than keeping stats on The Bugle podcast.

Is the issue with the term “fucking nerd” not the word “nerd”, but the term “fucking”? In all the episodes I’ve heard so far, swear words have been bleeped out. I’m actually looking forward to seeing whether that stops happening whenever they get to the point in 2011 at which they get dropped by TimesOnline and become independent. I assume they’ll have no reason to censor anything after that. I’ve already seen John get excited about this once, when he went from The Daily Show to Last Week Tonight. In his early days on HBO, he enjoyed swearing over and over and saying he was doing it just because he was happy he could. Will something similar occur when The Bugle goes independent? I don’t know, I’m only into the mid-2009 episodes so far.

Obviously I realize what happened is a regular Bugle listener and Wikipedia editor heard Nish call them out on the podcast, so they went to Wikipedia to call Nish out back. But I find it so funny to try to work out what could be controversial about that instance, and how petty fucking nerds can be sometimes.
