Why did they make it look so gay?


Just look at the title and poster.






Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.

And the movie.

It's about Blair's man-crush on Clinton. He's even annoyed when his aides are discussing Clinton's penis. :D

This is the only film where the real life person is better looking than the actor portraying him. Blair in kinda sexy in an impish way ;)

All the actors in this movie are better than real life counterparts. Of course I saw a Hillary Clinton high school pic. She was something back then.

I don't think most people associate either title or poster with anything "gay". The title comes from the fact that media described it as a special relationship, as not all diplomatic relationships are that close and significant to both parties. The picture is just two leaders standing in an office, and a hand on someone's shoulder is just a common gesture of friendliness, especially on the part of someone senior - politicians do that frequently. To me, the image just suggests that they had a relationship where they discussed things privately and not only in official situations.

I didn't get the feeling that it looked "gay". Their relationship was strictly professional, and political, otheerwise it would have made the news like the Lewinski episode.
