Now We Have To Rethink EVERY Cowboy Movie
Ang Lee has everyone looking at the Western genre through
gay-colored
glasses.
Probably the most famous gay subtext of all time on the range where
the deer
and the antelope play was "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969), which featured two of the most beautiful men alive on the lam in the wilderness, far from the eyes of propriety and the moderating influence of civilization, and in an outdoors that was really a gigantic locker room. Was it just friendship? Well, we'll never know. Was the chick from "The Graduate" a beard? We'll never know that either.
