I can't be the ONLY person who thought their relationship went a bit deeper than friendship. It was definitely subtext. I really liked the movie overall. Not sure why it's getting so much hate. Even the sequels to the original changed up characters, as did the TV series. It was more of an ode to the original idea than a remake. Been watching incarnations of this since I was little with my Dad, very enjoyable.
shareIt's possible to have blood brothers in arms. I have one that would go through hell for me and I for him. You don't have to be gay to be friends with a man.
I see what your are saying, but, after thought, they're just partners. Goodnight has severe PTSD and Billy is the one who keeps him on the level. Don't worry about it. Just a story.
Yeah, I'd say you are right. It was the Old West. People just weren't gay back then.
shareThey could have been gay too. Either is fine. I thought they were gay when I first watched it, but they don't act like a couple at all when I watched it again. They just act like best friends. There's probably an inside joke about the flask that doesn't show up in the movie.

I'm pretty sure gay people have always existed. They aren't MacBooks or electricity. LOL. of course it didn't bother me in the movie. I just thought it was interesting. I just bought the movie I'm hoping there are some deleted scenes.
shareThat's because they were both turd burglars when they weren't gunfighting.
shareSo Goodnight leaves his gay partner to get shot and possibly killed in the middle of a gun fight,and Billy just lets him leave.If there's a love there of a gay partner they'd follow each other for me. There's a great friendship and respect there,but nothing homosexual for me.
This type of brother in arms friendship is shown in many films and tv.

What nonsense. It's apparent that no one's getting an education these days, other than from reality TV rubbish and Fox News. Hasn't anyone heard of camaraderie? It's a bond that develops between people who go through dangerous/stressful/life-threatening situations together. And then there's male bonding/friendship. Men can be friends with each other, respect each other and yes, even love each other like brothers (even though not actually blood-related), without it making them gay.
shareSpot on ..
