* AwkwardPoetryReading: The movie kicks off with the eponymous young nobleman performing "The Bower Of Bliss" before the visiting Queen Elizabeth I. It's a little stilted at first and made a tad strange by Orlando's rather evocative gestures, but it doesn't ''really'' become awkward until he reaches the bit about how the virgin rose "fades and falls away"... whereupon a distinctly miffed Elizabeth points out that the poem isn't exactly appropriate when addressed by a callow youth to a ''very'' old woman. It's so awkward, Orlando's father has to step in and apologise on his behalf. Elizabeth is able to use the faux pas as an excuse to take the young man as a favourite, eventually leading to her granting Orlando a very generous gift of land - [[OnOneCondition on the condition]] that [[ImmortalityInducer he does not fade or grow old]].

* LivingForeverIsNoBigDeal: Orlando barely even seems to notice their immortality, adapting to the changing eras without being overjoyed, overly depressed, or even mentioning the fact that she's still alive after all these centuries. The nearest she gets to being inescapably miserable because of her eternal life is when [[spoiler: she loses her house to a legal catastrophe, Shelmerdine leaves her to pursue freedom, and she's left to struggle alone through war and pregnancy during the early 20th century.]] And she bounces back from ''that'', too!
