SUICI SQUAD SHOCK: DELETED GAY LOVE SCENE BETWEEN WILL SMH'S DEADSHOT AND RICK FLAG
To get the overdiscsed out of the way: Fred Schepisi’s film versn of John Guare’s play Six Degre of Separatn featur one of cema’s most lghably evasive gay kiss. Of urse, no amount of film magic n really trick the viewer to seeg the oppose of what’s actually there: an obv and not-at-all rare example of an actor’s attempt at self-prervatn that exprs so very much about the puranism and homophobia that have gone to so much Hollywood image-makg for so long. As implied by the tle, which has bee a kd of parlor game divorced om s origal ntext, Guare’s people—rich and poor, black and whe, gay and straight—only exist nnectn to one another, but Six Degre of Separatn isn’t about the relief or revelatn of ternnectedns; rather ’s about the anxiety of closens, of thirstg for unn and sympathy and disverg unbridgeable divis.
Fascatgly, Guare is not ntent to simply mark Pl as an outsir to this privileged world through his blackns or his poverty; Pl is further queered by his homosexualy, which is disvered by Ouisa the most direct way possible. Allowg a sex worker—and a gay one at that—to cross the thrhold of this easily breached apartment is the bridge too far.
