thinking about becket or the honour of god by jean anouilh 1961 again and like. yes henry's romantic love is blatant but the sort of. parental themes of it all are interesting too? like it's abt the inherently fucked up dynamics of royal families. the loneliness of being king etc.
(not to mention henry's subsequent lack of affection for his own sons ... he's never breaking the cycle etc).
like it's a case of henrys mommy issues/lack of any genuine parental love and how he seems to find that/wish for that in becket. there is constantly something familial abt their interactions, from their outward appearances as the childish king and his older, wiser chancellor, to everything else abt them.
the way henry is always saying that becket taught him everything. ("every thought in my head came from you" is quite something.)
the "gently, as if to a little boy" and the rare use of henrys name is especially insane here because this isn't actually becket speaking, it's from henry's imagined conversation as he kneels by becket's tomb. but it's there in their real interactions too.
+ this bit below which i went crazy over because it's an extra little moment that wasn't in the film: when henry falls asleep in becket's bed after gwendolyns suicide, he wakes again with a nightmare, and becket soothes him back to sleep like a child:
+ there's other stuff i could point to but yeah basically yes henry was insanely in love but their relationship genuinely contains many multitudes.... ruler and subject. older brother and little brother. friends. best friends who go out hunting drinking wenching sharing the same girl's bed etc. enemies. norman conquerer and conquered saxon. man who is deeply in love with the man who cares for no one and hates to be loved. father and son. the church and the state. the king and his right hand arm/man/confidant/silly rabbit. evil old men yaoi boys. etc etc etc etc etc etc

When people get a little too gung-ho about-
wait. cancel post. gung-ho cannot be English. where did that phrase come from? China?
ok, yes. gōnghé, which is…an abbreviation for “industrial cooperative”? Like it was just a term for a worker-run organization? A specific U.S. marine stationed in China interpreted it as a motivational slogan about teamwork, and as a commander he got his whole battalion using it, and other U.S. marines found those guys so exhausting that it migrated into English slang with the meaning “overly enthusiastic”.
That’s…wild. What was I talking about?

your top five homoerotic movies
I’m going to do a mix of canonically gay movies and movies with varying levels of gay subtext
Moonlight (2016, Barry Jenkins)
Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019, Céline Sciamma)
Lawrence of Arabia (1962, David Lean) - it’s about as textually gay as it could be at the time, plus Lean said the intent was for Lawrence to be “very if not entirely homosexual”
The Handmaiden (2016, Park Chan-wook) - nothing better than lesbians getting back at the men who wronged them!
Becket (1964, Peter Glenville) - Peter O’Toole said the censorship board made them insert the line about Henry II having an unhealthy and unnatural obsession with Becket, and I’m presuming that’s because they thought it was too gay
Honorable mention: Disobedience (2017, Sebastián Lelio), a movie about a lesbian romance. I’ve only seen this once, and there are things about it I don’t like (there’s a plot point that seems like a fakeout death that rubs me the wrong way), but on the whole it’s underrated, and Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams have terrific chemistry

Top 5 movie musicals?
Les Miserables (2012) — I’m not apologizing for this
Cats (1998) — or this (although I’m not totally sure I want to call it “a movie”)
Fiddler On The Roof — I’m getting so much mileage from this one tonight
Pink Floyd: The Wall — does this count as a musical?? (also I need to rewatch it and make sure I still like it)
The Sound Of Music
I feel like this list is… very flawed, but it’s what was in my heart.
#sorry for the delay#suddenly had chores and company and shit#but thank you sm for the ask!#ask game#ask meme#I replaced the muppets Christmas Carol with the sound of music late in the game and I hope it was the right choice#now I’m wondering if it should’ve been the wizard of oz… fuck#(lol)

top 5 movies that were adapted from plays! (sorry if this is too specific)
Oh nice! No, I love the specificity, helps narrow it down lol.
1. Becket
2. The Lion In Winter (1968)
3. Romeo + Juliet (1996)
4. Fiddler on the Roof
5. Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Not necessarily ranked because uhh I can’t. Also this is definitely biased towards things I’ve seen recently.
A couple quick honorable mentions: Amadeus, The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, Rope, Night of the Iguana, The Ruling Class, Much Ado About Nothing (1993), Macbeth (2015 and 1971 — I need to see the 2021 still!), The Hollow Crown: Richard II

hmm top 5 movies you've seen this year? 👀
1. Lawrence of Arabia
2. Portrait of a Lady on Fire
3. Dune: Part 2
4. Thelma & Louise
5. Days of Heaven
This was hard because I’m indecisive I’ve been on a movie spree since January (I’m interpreting “this year” as 2024) and I’ve liked so many. I gotta do honorable mentions: Bound, Sherpa, Poor Things, Love Lies Bleeding, The Seventh Seal, Velvet Goldmine, and The Fall. And the movies that gave me the biggest fannish feelings (besides LoA) were Becket, The Lion in Winter, and Ladyhawke.
That was so many more than 5. Sorry I’m a cheater. Thank you for the ask!
#addendum: edited to remove the movies I used to answer the subsequent ask lol#had fiddler in the top 5 initially but then I used it for two other lists so#days of heaven gets to sneak in instead#ask game#movies#movies watched up to a year ago would be a slightly different but overlapping list…
