VID REC: Horatio Hornblower - Too Lost in You

[black-hound.livejournal.com]

Vidder: Yorkshire Wench
Musical artist: Sugababes
Pairing: Horatio Hornblower/William Bush
Vidder on LJ: NA
Vidder's website: Music Videos by Claire
Why this vid kicks ass: Beautiful men in dashing Napoleonic uniforms during the Age of Sail. What more could you want?

This vid focuses on Horatio Hornblower and William Bush and the longing nature of their relationship, primarily from Hornblower's point of view. The clips span the range of the A&E movies and produce a terrific statement on the unrequited tension between the two and the wish, particularly intense at times, for something else. The loaded looks, the frustration, and the fear of acting on the attraction are drawn out perfectly until the end when resolution is at hand .... perhaps?

The vidder has also cleverly used clips with Archie Kennedy as a sort of pointer, directing the viewer's attention between the two men as they dance about each other. This features the ubiquitous Hornblower deck shower, so a naked arse warning applies.

And just as I was lamenting my inability to find any WB/HH vids... Thank you! *off to download*

Glad to be of service! *doffs tricorne in salute*

The only other WB/HH vid that I know of is one of my own.

You can find it HERE. (http://scriptorium.infotrope.net/vids/#bh) It's the first one -- Numb.

No, no, that's necessary pimping - "Numb" is a brilliant vid!

And "Smooth" is an immensely appealing look at another hot pairing, with an unlikely choice of song combined with a tongue-in-cheek tone that really works.

*mutter mutter* Someone has to pimp these vids since black_hound is too well-mannered to self-pimp...

Thanks so much for reccing this vid - I've been hearing about this Hornblower guy for a long time but was never really interested in learning more but your rec made me download the vid and... OMG it's gay. It's sooooo gay. There's so much UST in the air, and those guys are hot. Very hot. I liked it a lot, and now I'm downloading Claire other vids, and of course I'll look for fics. You know, I didn't need another fandom right now, but it seems it had already happened... *sigh* ;o)

Welcome aboard *g*.

And yes, Hornblower is gay, gay, gay. *G* While the movies are full of pretty, I would also highly recommend the original books. The Bush and Hornblower relationship is slashy as all get out.

Glad you decided to have a look!
