Thread: Is Nice Guy Eddie gay?

Mr White and Mr Orange gay? Why would you think that? I never got that impression because Tarantino actually based that scene on a scene in Casualties of War, 1989. So, if only for that reason, I don't think there is any gay subtext to their relationship. But I do still suspect Eddie has homosexual tendencies. My idea was that the fooling around is a way of getting close to Vic while it appears to be macho humour. Also he got really angry...

Yeah, the thing is that this is a movie. If two men behaved like that in real life I would not see a 'gay subtext'. But this is a movie and in most movies most actions and words have a meaning, and the OP and I were just wondering if it was Tarantino's intention to imply that he was gay. And Mr. White and Mr. Orange seem to become even closer in the movie, but I don't see a gay subtext in that relationship. So don't...

He does wear very tight pants...hmmm.... "Is the cat Chrissy's ghost?" - Don-Charlieone

he may be but he was saying all those things simply because mr blonde was back from prison and homos are rampant there nothing more may be

Watch Chris Penn in Corky Romano and you have your answer!

He wasn't gay, when people have little wrestling fights they always sya stuff like "stop trying to *beep* me", its just a joke.

Hell no, I never got that impression at all. On the other hand I think the movie did imply that Mr White and Mr Orange were gay (I posted a thread about that).

LOL, if picking apart gay subtext is appropriate for any film, it's appropriate for Tarantino ones, look at his monologue on Top Gun.

There is not such thing as "straight" or "gay." Do I think Eddie cares deeply and passionately for his good friend Vic? Yes. Do I think he would have sex with him? No. That's what you're implying by the word gay, right? You're reading too much into it.
