I spoke with Fiennes a week before the dramatic season finale debuted for a conversation that went both macro—the parallels between Fred and the misogynistic, power-hungry men who plague us in real life—and micro, discussing how he felt about Fred’s death, what it was like to film those last scenes, and the ending he just couldn’t see for Fred.I guess I always knew from the novel that a certain Fred Waterford would invariably get his comeuppance.
You’re absolutely right. He will perpetrate again and again and again. There’s a sickness there, and for that reason he will never change. You’re right in many ways, but my sense is that with his son, he can get a glimpse of what a man should be and the better part of himself. He will never be that person, but I think that he has always been cognizant of him. It’s like going to church and getting absolved so you can go and sin again.
