i make fun of horatio for finding the most dramatic person he could and just enabling his behavior
and then i look in the mirror like "huh shakespeare in the park is looking a lil different this year"
i know theres a "gay best friend" trope but i feel like we need to formally acknowledge the "due to unfortunate circumstances i am gay for an absolute bastard" trope
now this is, of course, just another excuse for me to point out how gay nick carraway and horatio are
Can we talk for a second about how Hamlet is only sympathetic if he’s like, 19? That’s not to say you can’t make a good Hamlet with a 32 year old actor, but the main character Will Not be sympathetic if you do that. Which is fine, you can make an interesting movie with that, just don’t expect people to like Hamlet in it.
