"They are acting out for 13 years the possibility of going back to that hotel room to find again that beautiful moment of burgeoning desires and innocence. And at the same time, to feel at ease with one another, the way they were there. So, throughout the entire arc, that’s what they’re trying to do. And finally, with the rivalry at that heightened level, the triangle finally found itself sitting in the same place, but now on the court. I needed to get this very, very visually amped up and really immersed for the audience to understand how much it meant for them not to win over the other, but to be back together, all of them.”

Thinking about David Lean being the voice of the motorcyclist who says “Who are you? Who are you?” in Lawrence of Arabia. That is THE thesis statement of the film, and we literally hear it from its director. It adds a metatextual layer as well. No one, not, even the director, can nail down who exactly he is.

20 days into pride month here are some gay movies that if you haven't already seen I highly recommend you do

"Some Like It Hot" (1959) how they got away with making gay shit in the 50s. Two guys have to cross dress to escape death by mafia. Marilyn Monroe is also there being hot. They ride off gayly into the sunset. Easily piratable.

"Paris is Burning" (1990) documentary made in the late 80s about the gay scene in New York. Interviews with monumental drag queens. On YouTube

"To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" (1994) two award winning drag queens take a younger queen on a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. They get stuck in a small town in middle America when their car breaks down. My personal favorite comfort movie. Easily piratable.

"The Watermelon Woman" (1996) a black butch lesbian film maker is researching the life of a black actress from the 30s only credited as the watermelon woman. Available on the internet archive, but you'll have to pause the video and let it load forever. Worth it.

"But I'm a Cheerleader" (1999) I know it had a moment on tiktok a while ago but if you haven't seen it you should. Last scene made me cry the first time I watched it, it was so cute. Easily piratable.

"The Gay and Wondrous Life of Caleb Gallo" five part youtube series with not near enough views. Messy gay representation. The directer/writer has made some other weird youtube movies equally as unhinged

The best quality a fictional man can have is being deeply, pathetically, wretchedly in love with someone, I think
