#I don't know how to make gifs so making these was v. time consuming but I persevered bc I have to talk about this
#a) this movie is amazing and has the most movie of movie pirates ever committed to celluloid
#(except that they don't have West Country accents- that's the only lack- they throw in some old timey lingo but it's real weaksauce)
#anyway it is a action adventure musical comedy with slapstick tapdancing and swordfighting
#the plot is ludicrous and everything is very silly except the corrupt official bad guy who is kinda legit threatening
#our hapless unlikely golden hearted-hero accidentally becomes a pirate lord through a series of shenanigans
#eventually he enjoys it but he's gotta rescue his girlfriend from the evil governor
#he fucks it up and she ends up rescuing him instead and then there's a happy ending and even more shenanigans
#the jokes are cheeseball the costumes are over the top and all the pirates are hamming it up
#the swordfights involve the most EGREGIOUS flynning and dance-fighting
#there is straight up cartoon logic involved
#so in conclusion: FLAWLESS. NO NOTES.
#b) this disguise is one of the few main character disguises in cinema history that is actually convincing- he is unrecognisable
#if I hadn't been spoiled by someone's blog post b4 watching this I would no joke not have known it was him until he gives it away
#I fully buy even his girlfriend wouldn't clock him on sight
#making it all the more funny that he gets caught almost immediately
#anyway he's being hilariously ott posh and dandyish
#my point was: maybe I'm seeing what I want to see but I feel like he based this on Leslie Howard in the Scarlet Pimpernel
#he sounds so much like him! he does some of the same business! I want this to be true so bad
#I chose to believe this is a reference/tribute
