#Cyrano de Bergerac

Didn't the same thing happen with Beverley Marsh and Ben's Poem in IT?

She thinks Bill wrote the poem and thus develops feelings for him, but it's because of how the poem makes her feel; she's in love with the author. When she finds out that Ben wrote it she realises that she's loved him all this time. I mean, we know the duffer brothers take inspiration from IT...

HOLD UP I NEVER REALIZED THIS?

Because let’s face it, sometimes siblings/BROTPs/QPRs/etc. are just as fascinating, if not more, than whatever is happening in the romance department.

Swashtober 12: Cyrano de Bergerac!

From the play by Edmond Rostand, based on the life of the historically big-nosed 17th century writer and wit who *actually* fought like a hundred fellers on his own at the Porte de Nesle (he also really chased off that actor, and wrote great love letters, many of which were published and subsequently cribbed by Rostand for the play).

If I had gone to the theatre in 1897 and experienced Cyrano de Bergerac for the first time with no warning, I would have been diagnosed with female hysteria on the spot because of the way I was acting

Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand, freely adapted by Martin Crimp, Act 4

[thebusylilbee]

it's so fucking annoying that Gérard Depardieu was such a phenomenal actor when he's such a monumental turd of a human being, that bitch is ruining Obélix and Cyrano de Bergerac for me 😡

Megamind is a re-telling of Cyrano de Bergerac and I don't know why no one is talking about it

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL Megamind is literally a retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac. It is so obvious. I am so stupid. I can't believe I didn't notice this until now. I even thought about a week ago that it was a cute touch they had named the female lead Roxanne! 😫

But yeah so there's this guy who's crazy smart and bold and stylish and good at flair and Presentation! but he lacks the confidence to court the girl of his dreams, whose name is Roxan(n)e, because she's made it known that she's with his rival. Also he has a disproportionately large facial feature!

Instead of fessing up he disguises his appearance so he can woo Roxan(n)e with his voice and words and intellect, pretending to be a new suitor. He doesn't confess his deception until Roxan(n)e figures it out herself and confronts him, and he dies at the end of the story in one final, tragic display of daring and panache.

And then someone looked at that and asked the obvious question "Yes but what if he was also an alien mad scientist supervillain with a minion who's a fish in a mechanical gorilla suit?"

This is very random haha but I keep seeing your references to Cyrano de Bergerac, and I haven't read the original play, but I have watched a musical adaptation of it here a few years ago. The story was also localized to our culture and history, but the gist remains the same. That's it~ just wanted to share how amazed I am by the coincidence!

My friend you are always welcome to talk to me about Cyrano!!! I’ve heard of a few musical adaptations, it seems to inspire people across the world and all art forms and it makes me very happy! 💜🪶

If you ever want to see a stage production of the original, my beloved @pegasusdrawnchariots has compiled this helpful masterpost of all the versions available on YouTube (some in French, some in English)!

[macbethz]

i had to grab the actual video of this because i feel like this kiss was insane. is anyone else seeing this

[odiseni]

Cyrano de bergerac would have been improved so much by just making Christian fall in love with Cyrano as the time passed, like the unrequited love triangle would have killed me
