Propaganda

Hubert Hawkins, The Court Jester (1955) Portrayed by: Danny Kaye

“he's hot both in 'local out of his depth idiot mode' and 'over the top romantic hero mode'. he fences like nobody's business. he's the only man of all time to pull off a jester outfit and make it look actually snatched. Danny Kaye needs this, please.”

Saburo Naotora Ichimonji, Ran (1985) Portrayed by: Ryu Daisuke

“He has some lines that go hard Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: "...What kind of world do we live in? One barren of loyalty and feeling." Hidetora: "I'm aware of that." Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: "So you should be! You spilled an ocean of blood. You showed no mercy, no pity. We too are children of this age... weaned on strife and chaos. We are your sons, yet you count on our fidelity. In my eyes, that makes you a fool. A senile old fool!" Saburo Naotora Ichimonji: "Does a traitor betray himself?"
