Hi
From what i can make out Tony has genuine feelings for justin but not in a homosexual way more as a father figure, if you remember justin doesnt have a father and tony has looked after him over the years,
Tony has a really hard time explaining this to justin as it is hard for 2 men to talk on a level like this without it coming across gay

Hope this helps

Mr pink i totally agree son!! My mates thought on first viewing that he was a bit gay here but i think that's not the way to interprete this part. Also Tony asks after Charlie's mum as if he wants to get with her and he's chatting to some bird at the party too(I know the latter point isn't that conclusive but the first is pretty conclusive!) He refers to Justin as "my JustinW when he's on the blower to his mate after selling them the wack car which furthewr suggests he desires to be some kind of father figure to Justin seeing as justin lost his own father to heroin...

Whaddya reckon?

reply

Yep, you're both right. On the DVD version I have, the director says that Tony is only a father figure to Justin. Tony is worried about Justin because he knows where kids like Justin end up... prison!

If he wasn't gay, then why would he make him get in a pool and come up so close? WHy would he look so hurt/ heartbroken when he saw him thieving? Also, he may have some genuine care for him, in addition to grooming him as a criminal protege.
