Thread: Is Nice Guy Eddie gay?

Started 2 months ago by janowitz20
Is it just me or is there a subtle implication that Nice Guy Eddie is a closet homosexual? The scene when he says to Mr. Blonde "you sick bastard, Vic! You tried to *beep* me in my father's office!" and so on - he's adopting a joking and sarcastic attitude, but doesn't his behaviour suggest that he's secretly attracted to Vic?

I don't know if you're serious, but a while back I posted a thread just like this one. Nobody seemed to agree with me though.

I am serious. In fact, I find it surprising that no-one else seems to think he's gay because I think the implication is quite clear. What would be the point of that scene and dialogue if not to suggest that he's gay?

Stratego replied 2 months ago
I thought exactly the same thing. It's nice that someone besides me interpreted it that way. But perhaps we are both wrong.

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

When people talk like that it can be just a smokescreen. Well, whether Tarantino intended to imply he's gay or not, i do get the impression that he is every time I see the scene. It's also to do with how Mr. Blonde seems to intuit it. Look at how he reacts to everythig Eddie says to provoke him - uncomfortable at first but quickly turns it into another joke (so as not to make it obvious that he ...

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).

janowitz20 replied 1 month, 3 weeks ago
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 ...

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...

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.
