Thread: Was Mr White homosexual?

Since Mr. White was a career criminal and I'm sure had seen people die before, it was definitely strange that he was so protective of Orange, seeing as the two hadn't even known each other except for a few days. Just my take anyway.

LOL, I think Keitel and Roth commented on this at one point or another. As did 'He Died With a Felafel In His Hand' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172543/quotes (Heh, and Mr Pink! 'I'm sure it was a very beautiful scene.') I don't think it's an interpretation that is iron-clad either way, it's definitely all stuff that you can choose to dismiss or not, but I could see it.

Wait, why does he have to be one of us? You think his post didn't shear off some of MY brain cells with his "theory"?

You must be a limey to use the term "yank" lol "I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it." Edith Sitwell

I'm guessing it was Mr. White trying to comfort him after he got shot and was going hysterical.

You made the mistake, criticandactivist, of saying that Mr. White changes his story. He tells Pink he told him where he was from a few days ago and he told him his name when he got shot and his story doesn't change once. I thought it was very innovative of Tarantino to portray what most people would call gay and poofy as being very cool (namely two friends who have genuine care for eachother and even love eachother in a completely...
