I have yet to see the movie, heard good things about it. But every now and then someone complains about the gay overtone. Is the movie really that hardcore about the gay relationship?
Isn't it like a proven fact homosexuality on the field, was just a means to an end, not really like a whole epic love story type thing? I had always had that interpretation from something I read that, it was more a "fuck-buddy" type thing rather then a romance deal.
I think you're right about the means to an ends thing.
As for the movie... All I can say is that I'm easy to please when it comes to movies. Even movies that most people think suck hard, I'm okay watching, just 'cause I'm easy to please.
This movie, however... I watched it once, and I really have no desire to put it back into my DVD player. I obviously used hyperbole about it being 3 hours of the 3 and a half hours, or whatever it was, but the gay overtones did play a way larger part in the movie than I would have preferred.
I was hoping for something more Troy-like, and even that movie was kinda gay. I guess having some fight scene followed by 20 minutes of gayness, followed by another bit of plot and then another 10 minutes of some girl upset about the gayness was all pretty lame.
