Okay, this get my vote for most accurate answer. It's exactly what I was thinking too. It seemed like Horace realised that anything is possible.

You were SURPRISED that Humphrey may not be the straightest man on earth? Well I don't know x]
I thought the whole Captain Shakespeare parts were absolutely hilarious. De Niro was plain awesome :]

The only thing in the film that ruined it for me was Sienna Millers "acting", my god she stinks to high heaven, even cast as pinocchio she would appear too wooden.

I don't think objections have to come from a homophobic stance. First, Victoria's suffering enough just knowing that she could have been with a king and instead she's stuck with Humphrey. Second, it doesn't make sense with Humphrey trying so hard to win Victoria's hand when he's gay. I suppose you could argue it was just a marriage of convenience and power for him, but that's not really necessary to complete Victoria's humiliation.

I think it was a nod to Humphrey being so full of himself that he thought "Why wouldn't EVERYONE want to be attracted to me?"

Yes, that's exactly what that little scene was about. Does it matter? It was mocking Victoria's poor choice of husband.

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 welly'know.

Well it is a fairy tale.
What did you expect?
But Robert De Queero was shocking.
I'm surprised Richard Queer didn't appear.

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.

[fgadmin]

bthrock — 12 years ago(June 25, 2013 09:53 AM)

19th 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.

lapd96 — 12 years ago(June 25, 2013 10:16 AM)

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
