POT BREAK IS GAY
(Wele to Movi Are Gay, a Pri Month seri where we explore the tentnal, or accintal, ways LGBTQIA+ them, characters, and creativ have shaped cema.
I knew "Pot Break" was gay before I ever saw . To be fair, even if I hadn't had the heads up, I would've ught onto the simmerg homoeroticism of "Pot Break" pretty quickly. It stars a young Keanu Reev (who would star "My Own Private Idaho" two months later, but had already played gay by this pot) and Patrick Swayze (still a few years off om "To Wong Foo, " but already cshed-on by men and women aplenty), both radiatg full movie-star wattage.
'POT BREAK' IS GAY
The movie's excellence is extrible om s homoeroticism. Wh the steroidal mculary of a weightlifter and the spirual ethos of the Dalai Lama, ’s a serly silly o to macho attu and male mararie—and one that tak s guy’s-guy stuff to such extrem, plays like a portra of one man’s stggle to unrstand, and accept, his newfound homoerotic sir.
Ls often discsed than Pot Break’s homoerotic unrton is the fact that a chunk of the California-foced film was shot Oregon. Self-fulfillment, y, but a morn film, there would have been more gay sex at the end. (*He's wrong about this: there is no gay sex the terrible 3D 2015 remake starrg Edgar Rámirez).
