BOY ERASED REVIEW – DARK TALE OF A TEENAGER'S 'GAY NVERSN' ORAL

* is bromden gay *

In Ken Key’s 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nt, one of the psychiatric patients on the ward alongsi the two ma characters is Dale Hardg, a limp-wristed, daty man who is apparently unable to satisfy his wife, and who is portrayed as a closeted homosexual. While he do not actually accept his homosexualy by the nouement, he do not hi the shame which he feels, and his growg nfince is not led to suggt a “healg” of his homosexualy.

Through the erasure of Hardg’s homosexualy and s replacement wh a mol of hegemonic masculy, the film negat one of the key revolutnary statements of Key’s novel: that homosexualy; even feme, limp-wristed, shamefaced homosexualy, is not synonymo wh powerlsns or weakns.

This particular passage n be seen as a metaphor for the stggl of homosexualy the ’60s, suggtg that homosexualy n be betiful if embraced, but when is marred by shame and secrecy n be turned to somethg unseemly – although never pletely supprsed. This nmnatn is most strongly portrayed Hardg’s fal monologue to McMurphy, where he also adms his homosexual leangs for the first time the novel:.

DAVID BROMSTAD G OUT AS A GAY! HAD 8 LONG YEARS OF RELATNSHIP! HOW DID THEY MEET? HOW DID START? KNOW EVERYTHG!!!

While refully avoidg any explic mentn of homosexualy, he creat strong implitns, and yet ref to align wh what he appears to regard as the majory of the society who will prise his rearship. In stark ntrast to this sympathetic portrayal of effemate homosexualy, the character of Hardg the film of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nt (1975) is played by a heterosexual actor (William Redfield) who do not fulfil Bromn’s physil scriptns the novel, and who do not impersonate the daty nature of the origal character’s mannerisms.
