Did anyone else think that Hans Christian Anderson looked like he was constantly having an orgasm throughout the movie? Way too much over acting...
shareno
well ok at times he looked excited but it was understandable excitement
who wouldnt be excited to leave their small town and see a large city for the first time,
to be in the palace of his nations rulers
to fall in love with a beautiful singer
to be successful doing what one loves to do
He was also portraying the child-like, eccentric, and possibly autistic nature of Andersen. If you've ever been around small children or slightly autistic adults, you might notice that they often use very big gestures and huge expressions to better convey their emotions.
I personally loved the way the actor portrayed him. =)

I thought he was appalling, as a matter of fact. No wonder he never went much further.
George... don't do that!
I just watched this on tv and besides excruciating facial expressions, his body/hand gestures were extremely aggravating to watch. He portrayed Hans as some kind of epileptic. Very annoying and distracting to watch.
sharethe way I picture him in my mind ( I was able to see his houses, the one in Odense, Denmark and where he lived for a while in Sintra, Portugal) he would be a very quiet person, low voice, shy
and very, very lonely, despite his travels and friends, writing or making the beautiful paper cutting he liked so much
- child-like, eccentric, and possibly autistic nature do not fit in the way I imagine him to be
His portrayal was more like that of 'Edward Scissor hands'.
shareConsidering Anderson's obsession with masturbation, maybe it was a conscious acting choice?
