Factual error: Sassoon's Military Cross medal is shown ending up thrown in the Mersey and sinking. In his own words from "Memoirs of an Infantry Officer", published in 1930 - "I ripped the MC ribbon off my tunic and threw it into the mouth of the Mersey. Weighted with significance though this action was, it would have felt more conclusive had the ribbons been heavier. As it was, the poor little thing fell weakly on the water and floated away as though aware of its own futility."
Benediction (2021)
Directed by: Terence Davies
Starring: Jack Lowden, Orlando Jopling, Thom Ashley
Stephen Tennant: Oh, I look 500 years old / Some say I am beautiful / And, as an aesthete / I feel that beauty is eternal / We see it in the eyes of those who love us.
Glen Byam Shaw: Friends may come, friends may go. Enemies are always faithful.
Dr. Rivers: Why not?
Siegfried Sassoon: Too afraid, too inhibited. Shamed by an inner corruption. Or perhaps it's simply because of... What's the phrase? The love that dare not speak its name.
Dr. Rivers: You are not alone in that respect.
