POT BREAK IS GAY
But Pot Break has somethg else tegral to the actn movie: a healthy streak of homoeroticism.
There’s a certa irony to , of urse, that the actn movie – a big mcly bundle of supercharged masculy, ma largely for a heterosexual male dience – should have such powerful homoerotic unrton. The 1991 origal is a big, burly landmark homoerotic actn – a sun-baked beach party full of bodac surf, bank jobs, and all the bros together, bro.
'POT BREAK' IS GAY
Pot Break is hardly an isolated se of rampant homoeroticism actn cema. Some men would cry hery at the ia of homoerotic sentiments ripplg through their favoure actn movi. Indulgg – and dare I say, enjoyg – the unrlyg homoeroticism of an actn movie isn’t a betrayal of one’s red-blood masculy.
But no matter how sophistited and self-aware the actn movie be, at s heart ’s sentially a thstg juggernt of homoerotic man-fun – a place where men n take their tops off, do loads of manly thgs together, and pummel their everyday hang-ups to oblivn. 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.
