Hugh Jackman is... *swoons* - I do believe I have the vapors! (Nah, it's like what Emma Thompson said, it's just us girls being ridiculous for the fun of it... haha.) And can you believe that incredibly cliched scene where he was on a white horse? *rolls eyes* But he does do a tolerable English accent for an Australian. Probably because both his parents are English.
Unfortunately, the characterisation of Leopold is somewhat inconsistent and hence, for me, incredibly distracting. For a guy out of 1876, he seems awfully open minded about spending the night wrapped up in the arms of a girl he isn't married to when before he insisted that she might require a chaperone when she had dinner with her boss. And worse, sitting out there on the balcony with his arms around her! And kissing like that in front of everyone! Has he no sense of propriety? *is scandalised! LOL*
Well, to be fair I missed the the first half-an-hour of the show so I might possibly have missed some explanation for all the costume mistakes, but argh! Since when did they wear singlets/singlet-looking-things? Guys from the late 19th Century don't wear singlets, they wear undershirts and his undershirt looks nothing like an undershirt. And as any gentleman should know, they have to wear hats. And why is he wearing that thing that looks like a military coat? Frock coat, people, or a dress coat. And not a white silk tie, a white silk bow tie. Somebody shoot the art director!
