I do not need to see Craig with a dick in his mouth (well, not again after he clearly wanted to as his abmissal Bond).
But how is this character "gay now"?
He lives with Hugh Grant hence he is gay???
Did I miss a line where his sexual orientation is made clear?
That is all you get; male roommate. But the director says Blanc is gay. https://screenrant.com/glass-onion-daniel-craig-benoit-blanc-gay-details/
Does it add to the plot? Nope. Does anyone care, a few people do I suppose. Some of those who care on this forum are acting like the sky is falling because of it. Oh well.
Yup, really makes no difference.
However, it is kind of entertaining watching idiots lose their shit over this.
If someone is "losing their shit" it probably means they have a serious medical condition. And you find that entertaining?
shareEndlessly entertaining.
Although probably more than unncessarily overtly literal people as to not being able to stay on topic.
I was going to call you a sociopath, but seeing as how you're illiterate, I'm afraid you're just a plain old ordinary psychopath.
shareThe fact that you took that phrase so literally with it instead of the way its most commonly used, and then veered so left with it, means that you're just a fucking moron and any further thoughts that you have are just irrelevant.
shareYou are mixing up Craig with Bond. I thought Blanc might be gay the first time I saw him. It wasn’t a stretch for me at all. He’s very much a Tennessee Williams’ Southern character. Of course, we don't know everyone’s sexual orientation or if they even have sex when you first meet them, but I thought it definitely was implied in the first movie. It was made clear in the second. It didn’t surprise me when we see he has a partner. But seeing Hugh as his partner was.
shareWhich scene says anything about him fucking the Grant character?
I must have missed the line that implies they are partners. What was it?
There are no sex scenes in this movie that I recall except the one with Madelyn Cline straddling Bautista.
But Craig and Hugh are living together. You know this because you first see Craig when he is in the tub playing Among Us and he apparently went through a depression during Covid. He tells Phillip to answer the door. Although you don’t know who it was or maybe even why but you piece it together later (actually a flashback sequence) when you see Helen (Janelle Monae) knocking on Benoit’s front door. Hugh Grant answers the door. I think he is baking or something as he has flour on his face. Hugh is Phillip. Grant/Philip asks Helen why does she want to see Craig/Blanc and she answers and then Grant says, “Blanc! There’s someone here for you. With a box.”
No shit, Sherlock.
I used to have a male roommate.
I never realized that that implies I am gay, especially if my roommate answers the door for me.
But now I know better, thanks for pointing out such clear evidence, I could not piece it together myself...
Also, IT'S TIC TAC TOE!
It doesn't. But right wing people with small self esteem interpreted it this way. Rian Johnson and Hugh Grant then trolled this people, because of their super stupid reaction. If Rian Johnson was interested in Blanc being gay, he likely had shown him giving Grant a french kiss, I assume he just put it in to pass the Netflix checklist. Because they are the only ones beside right wings who would care.
shareThis is disingenuous, to say the least.
His character being heralded as a guy icon all over social media. Pretty sure that's not the "right wing" doing that.
You need better gaydar
shareOh I didn't understand it that way, thought it was just a friend visiting or something to try to get him out of his rud, because he really seemed like someone living alone by himself. He was living like a crazy person during covid sitting in bath all day every day, in a totally trashed bathroom, doesn't seem like someone living together with someone. Hadn't even occurred to me it was his partner (maybe also because of these classic trope detectives are almost always single eccentrics and they usually have some watson type of guy dropping by to take care of them).
shareIt’s low key (except for me, I felt he was gay in the first one), but when Hugh answered the door, it smacks you in the face. He’s baking. But for some viewers, they thought they were just two 50 or 60 year-old roommates. Grant commented - yes I’m married to James Bond.
But you are right, most of the detectives are celibate with a sidekick. And lately, there are so many that have Asperger’s or an anxiety disorder so their socialization is poor. Or they’re drinkers who lost their only love.
Just checking the boxes, absolutely no reason to make him gay
shareYeah ok, but I just don't get HOW is he gay.
I mean, anybody can be gay, but unless otherwise noted, anybody could and probably should be considered straight.
What is the element that points out that Blanc is a gay man?
I must have missed it.
Really none other than he lives with a man. But, for some reason the director came out and said he was gay instead of leaving it ambiguous
shareOk so, as I suspected, it is NOT in the movie at all.
It's just that hack thinking it is cool of him to point this out, just cause.
I am not gay, but I am offended nonetheless by his exploitation.
Also he mentioned knowing a *FAAAAABULOUS* hair dresser for miss thang.
shareThere are no lines that make it explicitly clear. It's implied. You can choose to believe their relationship is straight roommates, or brothers, or something like that if that's how you really want to read it. It's only clear because the Johnson, Craig, and Grant have all made it clear in interviews. My guess is it was done deliberately this way so as to not upset some censors and audiences. And because Johnson has said he prefers to only give glimpses into Blanc's personal life. So who knows if it will ever be expounded upon.
"I do not need to see Craig with a dick in his mouth (well, not again after he clearly wanted to as his abmissal Bond)." The fact that you know he's gay, without having seen a dick in his mouth, shows how duhm and how much of a moot non-point your supposed point actually is.
I did not see how it was implied but how people inferred it to be that way. There are other plausible explanations such as the other guy was his butler. After all Blanc is probably rich enough to afford one.
The fact the people involved all made it clear in the interviews throws my idea out the window. I am fine with him being gay although they did miss a big opportunity for some representation. Blanc could have been someone for a person like myself to look up to.
I am a cis straight man who is alone. Earlier in my life I did want to find a wife and have a family but for several reasons (some in my control and some not) I did not get that outcome. Now I am at the point where I just do not feel I can be a significant other to a woman because I was never able to develop the traits that are needed to do that. So, I am alone. Blanc could have been a character that *I* could have looked up to as someone who avoids romantic relationships and is still a happy person.
The thing is that while I am CIS and straight he could have been a role model for anyone of any sexual orientation who for what ever reason did not feel being involved with someone romantically was a good thing for them. The fact that he is gay, while not being bad by itself, just makes him one of many many characters of representation for the gay community.
So I am not mad that he is gay at all just disappointed he is romantically involved with anyone.
I think most detectives fit your role model, starting with the most famous ones.
Maybe the idea here was to give Blanc some trait to make him stand out from the rest. Which I can appreciate.
I do not lik the way they deliver such trait, which is: off screen, the authors say he is gay, so he is.
You know what?
I take back my opening statement. I DO need to see Craig with a dick in his mouth, otherwise I do not buy that Blanc is gay.
Tell us why this issue matters to you.
Or firstly, clear up what exactly is bothering you. The idea of character's sexuality? Or that the movie doesn't make it an issue?
The idea that the filmmakers make an issue of it, yet the movie offers no clue in that direction.
That bothers me.
Did they make an issue of it? Being asked in an interview and giving a truthful answer is making an issue of it?
U ok hun?
They did, it was the only tidbit made public about the movie, as if it was an important reveal for it.
Not only that, but WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU CARE if I am bothered or not?
U ok hun?
Blanc being gay probably doesn’t bother him at all as the issue is with Rian Johnson.
If you don’t know why he is the most hated director in the world then what the hell are you doing here?
Johnson is not that though.
And making a thread bitching about Blanc being gay (old news anyway) because of Johnson, that is not a good look. Alerting everyone that a movie released over six years ago is still living rent free in your head (while most viewers and the vast majority of critics loved it) doesn't impress anyone except those similarly afflicted.
Just shows how much you don’t know.
Film critics always hated the SW fan base, as you and other trolls here do. When the critics realized Ruin Johnson’s film was going to polarize the community they universally praised it while knowing it was a shitfest. Go fuck yourself.
