Was it just me, or did the end scene in the Stormhold castle, where Captain Shakespeare winks at Horace imply that Horace prefers men?
I was really surprised by the movie's inclusion of a somewhat flamboyant character(Captain S.). I loved this character! He was probably one of my favorites...but I was surprised nonetheless.
Everyone is fond of owls...except for mice and shrews and Simon Cowellsshare
Lol people are blowing this completely out of proportion. It was a wink, yes a gay wink but seriously get over it. It's not like they jumped on each other and well...y'know.
shareThis thread is fecked up. The administrators had to slash and burn because of flame wars about homosexuality - and grammer. LOL
shareWell it is a fairy tale. What did you expect?
But Robert De Queero was shocking.
I'm surprised Richard Queer didn't appear.
"Welcome to Pandora. Welcome to fairyland."
I loved how overtly and obviously gay DeNiro's character was, even though one of his ship's crew called it "being whoopsie" instead of actually saying "gay." He stole the show here, and I loved the bit at the end with Humphrey as well. The reason why they did that is because just like Shakespeare's tough guy acts on the ship, Humphrey was overcompensating by always fighting with Tristan and not being his true self. That was their connection and I don't know how anybody could misinterpret this. I guess some people do need to see full on sex acts to get it.
De Niro was excellent in this and despite what some people say his character was a positive role model.
Kind, honest, intelligent and possessed of a great and kind heart. He just happened to be in the closet because of prejudice. An all too common occurrence.
While de niro's character was interesting, it was inaccurate for 19th century England or any European fairy tale.
share19th century England also didn't have flying boats.
And Neil Gaiman is European, and this is his fairy tale, so you're wrong there too.
Nope, when I say fairy tales I mean old European fairy tales, I.e. hansel and gretel, red riding hood, the boy who cried wolf, etc....not modern day adaptations alternating from the norm
shareOne of the messages of the movie was the importance of being yourself.
European fairy tales may not have had many (if any) explicitly "whoopsie" characters but of course we know they have existed throughout all of human history.
It's spelled Raymond Luxury Yacht, but it's pronounced 'Throat-Warbler Mangrove'

We all knew the captain was a whoopsie!
