Jacks true feelings towards Vincent (spoiler)


I have to applaud the film makers for really pushing the envelope and giving us something different from the average mafia tale. It was clear that Jack had very deep feelings and a strong physical attraction for Vincent in a world were homosexuality is very taboo...Jack suppressed his attraction to Vincent and you could see his character morph to a very hostile and violent man as he held his homosexual feelings towards Vincent in check..This is not your every day mafia movie..the undertones are subtle but they are there..
Bravo to the director to let the flags of tolerance fly..

Jack is man clearly at odds with his supressed homosexual urges, this leads to the violent outbursts and hate tred towards men which he can not have. The hatered of woman is also shown as this is where he has been forced to follow at the expense of his homosexual cravings.

True a great work a gay art house movie, of one homosexuals strugle with his denied sexuality.
