All my life I've wanted to be a character in a Merchant-Ivory film. My first thought was that it would be lovely to be Freddie Honeychurch, the character Rupert Graves played in A Room with a View, because he's a laff and uses words like "spiffy." But he watches the boy he has a crush on marry his sister, and that's no fun. So instead, I think I'd choose Scudder, the character Rupert Graves played in Maurice -- the film isn't nearly as delightful as View, but at least he gets the guy in the end.
That's my favorite view, right there.
