#i heard ‘hornblower? he ain’t human’ and blacked out for the rest of the film#watched chh last night bc a) he was inspiration of jim kirk’s character and b) hornblower is played by ethan peck’s grandfather#so a very full circle moment#and. gah this scene this SCENEEEE#the dehumanisation of authority figures the same way jim is constantly being compared to caesar#their struggles never being visible bc they have to be strong for their crew#and thus almost becoming godlike and infallible#HE AINT HUMAN????????????????????#and god don’t even get me started on the cyrano extract#how he saves his water for CHRISTIAN?????? the woman he loves’ husband????? oh im evil#he values christian’s life more than his own bc ROXANE values christian more!!!!!!! AAAAAAAGGHHHHHHHH#and how much HIS men respect and admire him even tho he isn’t a general or anything he’s just an ordinary solider#and how the rest of the men and even cyrano himself almost start to believe he’s untouchable#he takes the flack and he’d go to hell and back and thus he’s lifted into this high position#when in reality it’s like. because he hates himself. and his sword and his words are all he has#and if that kills him then it kills him#and it DOES kill him!!!!!!! he walks out of hospital to confess to roxane and he dies and aaaaggggghhghh#normal normal i’m normal#god why can’t i have normal interests like everybody else#no one else is like ‘omg the parallels between this 1951 film and an adaptation of an 18th century french play’#and how they relate to captain kirk from star trek#what is WRONGGGGGG WITH ME WHAT IS MY PROBLEM#god. anyway#jesus christ jemima. have you ever tried to like things a normal amount#anyway. i’m finished now i think#how tf do i even tag this#cyrano de bergerac#captain horatio hornblower
