I must admit reading Cyrano de Bergerac gets a little funny at times as someone who has a hard time considering people pretty if they don't have an enormous or crooked nose
#Cyrano de Bergerac
#I should probably delete this later
#I talk too much
#He is even more self-conscious in the play than he is in any adaptation
#He is so worried about being abhorrent and ugly due to his nose that he doesn't even permit himself to cry
#because he doesn't want to stain the transcendence of tears with its ugliness
#And here I stand reading this as someone who gets made fun of by friends and family and pretty much anyone who knows me
#because I only find beautiful people with big noses
#Twice it has happened that someone has commented on someone else's nose being exaggeratedly deviated to one side
#and after realising their impolite mistake these people saved face by saying that I found those things beautiful
#I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I have a hard time recognising people unless they have particular features or gestures
#Anyway... Unfortunately they are right when I'm made fun of due to this
#because I looked up the record of biggest nose out of curiosity and I dig that too
#Cyrano dear I hope you're terribly ugly other than due to the nose because otherwise Le Bret is right and you deserve to be punched
#But on the other hand it also adds something if he isn't? I just watched José Ferrer's version of the play
#and I think they tried to make Christian and Cyrano kinda look alike? And that was so very interesting
#I loved it. How it's mostly his insecurity what plays against him and he isn't even all that ugly
#And how in the way he talks and his beautiful voice and his gestures and words‚ kindness and deeds
#he ends up appearing charismatic and attractive if not beautiful
#while Christian‚ who at first looks like the prettiest version of Cyrano in this adaptation‚ends up being totally forgettable in an instant
#At times you could barely tell them apart
