Were two of them a gay couple?


The black guy and the guy with turrets who shot each other (how romeo and juliet.)

I thought they said they were something when the white one was helping him with his panic attack.

I'm wondering the same thing as you. I couldn't pick up what was mentioned during that scene myself. Definitely got a few hints throughout the movie if I had to put my money on it.

reply

They certainly died as lovers.

Word. Gazed into each other's eyes and everything.

I wasn’t expecting Shakespeareian storytelling but I guess we got it.

Yea it feels shakespeareian how everyone was recklessly throwing their lives away. :/

Why every close relation between two person from the same sex has always to be homosexual?, ask around some veterans and you will find a few close relations like those guys in real life without a homosexual tone or insinuation, don't project prejudices onto others just because it does not fit the mold every time.

reply

I agree for some reason every close male friendship is viewed through the lense of homosexuality. Its really bizare. I want to remember people saying the same thing about 2 characters in the first predator too. Are males so distant from each other that that any 2 males in a close friendship are always assumed to be gay?

reply

Yes, they are. Studies show that boys move away from 'best friendships' to 'group friendships', aka "the boys" around age 14.

Two dudes who spend a lot of time together are homosexual on some level.

reply

Is this wishful thinking on your part cause I can't imagine this is the typical thinking shared by heterosexual men.

This is the biggest bunch of bullcrap I've ever heard. I am a guy and have guy friends that I hang out with a lot but I am not sexually attracted to them at all. Suck a bag of rocks.

lol, still hungry troll?

reply

It's not this. It's the fact that they did just enough to leave it up to the audience to try and interpret.

reply

There is nothing to interpret, the only thing I saw was two guys that shared a really f*cked up past with massive traumas that found some coupe with their friendship, there is not a single insinuation on their acting, handling or communication that would indicate an active homosexual behavior, not any more than any other group of guys sharing similar experiences or sharing new activities.

It would be just as crazy as to say that all the NFL, NBA and soccer teams around the world are blatant homosexuals because they are only men (or women where it applies) and share most of their time together, even touching each other, rubbing their strong and sweaty bodies for hours.

Again, just because it does not fit the mold it does not mean that it is a homosexual relationship.

reply

I’ll need to read the subtitles on that panic attack scene. Something was said.

They were both penetrated by the Predator and then fired hot loads into each other's faces.

Of course they were gay.

reply

SPOILER why did they not just shoot themselves. The timing required for what they did, not to mention the aim was just ridiculous.

reply

right exactly!... either one of them got hit first would never be able to fire back, that means both bullets need to leave both gun-chambers within the same mini-second....

...Oh, Or maybe it's just me too stupid to understand!?
