The men in question are largely "in on the joke", as they're comedians in costume. A lot of the plot (and troubles) revolve around the main character presenting himself effeminately

Not on screen, but as an adult he reenacts something he experienced as a child with shadow puppets

Somewhat ambiguously, someone falls off a high rope (during a battle) followed by a fade to black and an "after death" scene. No actual falling is seen in this scene

YMMV. The main character begs the king to be let go, but is held captive by orders and social power rather than physically "van-style" kidnapped

A man is seen dead, presumably by suicide, and a parental (forced) suicide is brought up after the fact, and also reenacted on screen by other characters
