I am an impure rotten girl. I read the 2-dimensional tanmei text very well. I also like the ambiguous men and men in European and American film and television dramas and the love that transcends brotherly friendship. I like those intimate kisses and hugs, and the eyes that collide with each other. I'm not very comfortable with rolling the sheets with real money. Of course, if the process is omitted and only the lights are turned on, it is still very interesting.
In fact, the vast majority of people in this world cannot accept that such important characters as one man, one man and two are gay, and such films are often unpopular. Since the beginning of the 20th century, when homosexuality was still a crime, filmmakers in Europe and the United States (Ben Hur, Red River and other films), especially British filmmakers, have been fighting hard to add homosexual elements to their films by rubbing the edge of the ball.
From the 1960s to the 1980s, this kind of attempt became more and more, and even spread to one male and two males. There are several big-name stars in the UK who have played gay or bisexual roles, from Richard Burton ( Dominate the world, stairs, tough guy), Peter O'Toole (Lawrence of Arabia, Dominate the world), Anthony Hopkins (Winter Lion) to Michael Caine (Death counts), but the results of practice are basically incompatible optimism.
Michael Caine, in particular, had a passionate kiss with the male supporting actor in the 1982 "Death Plan". As a result, the plot lost nearly 10 million at the box office of the movie and was dubbed the most expensive kiss scene in film history—— A million dollar kiss.
In fact, the reason is very simple. The bigger the star, the bigger the audience, the bigger the fan base, and the more people who oppose homosexuality. This will have a huge negative impact on the box office. People can't accept superstars and big names to play homosexuality. This is also the reason why Paul Newman in 1959 firmly denied that he had homosexual elements in "The Wonderful Woman".
Like Richard Burton who clearly stated that he once played Hamlet as gay, and took the initiative to tell reporters that he played gay in "The Staircase" and "Tough Guy", and admitted that he is probably the only superstar who has tried homosexuality, I have to say it's really courageous.
It seems that after Michael Caine's tragic box office failure, superstars will never play gay roles again. Let's leave it to small stars to play. Anyway, there will be no big loss if you fail, and success is also a surprise.
