IS BILLY ELLT GAY.
Before Mizer there were bodybuilrs and men who photographed them, but AMG photos, even those of the same men, were different, subtly provotive, discreetly aimed at a gay dience. They weren't nu but showed as much as the law allowed 1951 Mizer lnched Physique Pictorial, Ameri's first disputably gay magaze, brgg his photos of top bodybuilrs to grateful rears worldwi. Is Billy Ellt gay.
In ‘Billy Ellt’ there is undoubtedly a strong homosexual subtext but do this necsarily mean the protagonist himself is gay?. Director Stephen Daldry openly als wh homosexualy and tentnally creat doubt surroundg Billy’s sexualy th fuellg bate and discsn. Through out the film Daldry prents wh numero episos, which suggt homosexualy but which are all open to terpretatn, for example is Billy’s rejectn of Debbie the bedroom scene a sign of his homosexualy or jt due to the shyns and secury of youth?.
In my opn, Daldry, at the end of the film is enuragg on what we have seen, to form our own opns to whether Billy is gay or not, there is simply no wrong or right answer.
