BUT JT HOW GAY IS ‘THE LIGHTHOE'(2019)?

To me, this film is so clearly gay that an analysis of s homoerotic subtext would be like argug the sky is blue. Perhaps I’ve e acctomed to clarg everythg gay, but this one seemed too obv to miss.

And so, let’s talk about how gay The Lighthoe really is.

Durg the long, lonely nights, Tommy attempts to distract his gay sir and fds solace a mermaid statue, g this salt water temptrs as spiratn for his “alone time”.

Tommy is ultimately aghast by this homoerotic shift, but the dience is not.

However, this terpretatn don’t hr the homoerotic subtext, if anythg they work harmony.

The Lighthoe is overflowg wh gay subtext, om the tenr dancg scene shared between Tom and Tommy, to the il arguments between them that play out like a dnk hband and upset hoewife (“Yer fond of me lobster, a’t ye? Ignorg the gay subtext this film lims the pure brilliance of The Lighthoe. Historilly, the genre of horror is a bounty of gay subtext and this film livers wav!

Both movi e om wildly ventive filmmakers wh styl so specific their films n feel like their own mi-genr, but they share half-baked gay subtexts that fall short of their amb visns. In a story about two men on a serted island, the homoeroticism is practilly baked to the log-le.
