I didn't expect him to act like a complete fairy but he still gives a straight vibe in this movie. It didn't help that he obviously had it in his contract that he didn't have to kiss another man on the lips. Surprised he won the Oscar with that lack of commitment for authenticity.
shareMaybe he should be 'canceled' for appropriating the role?
shareIf it was made today, for sure that would happen.
People don't have other things to worry about than to cancel random things.
This "culture appropriation" is basically people being upset that someone else just discovered a band that they've already known since their first album.
Ostentatiously gay men would have had trouble climbing the corporate latter in the early 1980's. They had to play it straight.

Agreed. Nathan Lane with his 'Birdcage' character would have been much more appropriate.
shareFunny. It's not convincing when you can't even imagine Hanks' and Banderas' characters making out. The thought is just awkward af.
shareFOR YOU...I LOVE THAT THOUGHT.🍆

I've personally met many real life gay couples neither of whom were feminine
Makes sense, too. One would think a gay man would be attracted to "manliness"
In reality, there's a wide spectrum of behavior and attraction, but two "manly men" together seems about as "gay" as gay gets to me
Ironic. Matt Bomer didn't portray a gay man very well on Will and Grace. It was a caricature.
And he is gay in real life.

I don’t think the film would have ‘connected’ if Hanks was mincing down the street with Banderas screaming bitchy insults at Jason Robards.
shareHis type does exist. I just thought Antonio would be out of his league.
