Hiram Lodge is such an insane character . Why did he lock his teenage daughter’s boyfriend into an intense psychosexual relationship with him wherein he used psychological warfare as well as physical violence and the constant looming threat of unspeakable crimes as tactics to control/eventually hunt and kill him
this shot is so funny. closeted lesbian cheryl freaks the fuck out at the concept of same-sex relations and the idea that james dean engaged in them, so she storms out. awkward silence. shot to bisexual betty and her boyfriend gay kevin. What About Sal Mineo?
I want to start off by saying that these are just my opinions and I am in no way, shape, or form indicating that I am apologizing or justifying my believed closeting of a queer individual. Nor am I making apologies for someone that I do not know nor will ever know. That being said, I do feel that I am allowed to draw my own personal conclusions given the evidence presented before us and make my own critical decision based on the content.
I do not believe Freddie is Louis’ son. I honestly will never believe that he is biologically Louis’ son.
That being said, I do think that AOTV did an interesting job of framing the Louis/Freddie relationship in the midst of talking about his family and the role he is so often put in. For instance, I believe that AOTV is more of a film of self discovery and reconciliation of the self than anything else. It’s framed about one man’s struggle to find where he belongs and if he even deserves it. So in some ways, it’s an introspective film about Louis’ outlook on himself as an artist, as a brother, as a friend, and as an individual.
