Terrific st wh excellent chemistry and some genuely funny moments, Fourth Man Out is a rehg gay edy that I thk many would enjoy (even the "manlit" men of this world), thanks to the rehg and likable performance of Evan Todd as the likable, awkward, r-mechanic Adam and his goofy well-meang straight "bros.
Not nearly as good or funny as Borat, but the film do a good job revealg the nonsense that is homophobia (Brüno viss a gay-to-straight nverter, a group of redneck hunters, and a martial arts expert who shows him how to "fend himself agast the gays"). It is important to note that the time between Rso’s first and later revised edns, the AIDS crisis had taken hold, and wh that negative imag particularly of gay men gaed renewed currency, which did not nvce Rso of Hollywood’s progrsive polics wh regards to queerns but rather only renfirmed his ial outrage, as he stat at the very end of his study: “The history of the portrayal of lbians and gay men mastream cema is polilly fensible and athetilly revoltg. 2Twenty years after Rso’s landmark study on the homophobic history of Hollywood, Joe Wlodarz an say, aptly tled for the purpose of my paper “Rape Fantasi: Hollywood and Homophobia, ” affirms Rso’s earlier claim that there is no arth queer imag Hollywood cema as such, and siar to the many exampl showsed by Rso, Wlodarz also highlights that what is missg the stanc are sex-posive filmic pictns.
Referrg to a group of films that pict male rape and which he refers to as the “children of Deliverance”—John Boorman’s 1972 film famo for one of the most explic on-screen pictns of a man beg anally raped1—Wlodarz is trigued how “male rape be symbolilly d as homosexualy” (68).

Furthermore, we also need to look at films which no longer homophobilly rrelate queerns, sexualy, and vlence whout crilly asssg this nflatn and offerg alternative viewpots, but which self-reflexively engage both the history of the stereotypil cematic otherg of queerns and ongog revaluatns of queer liv, cludg experienc of abe, shamg, and other forms of vlence sexualized ntexts. 7Lookg back, Benshoff and Griff agree that “[d]pe the era’s facile bat over whether or not Cisg was a posive or negative velopment the reprentatn of gay men, has proved to be an endurg queer film that explor the borrs (however murkily or irrponsibly) between male homosexual sire, ‘straight’ homosocial bondg, and vlence” (183).
This scenar has led many crics to lament the genre’s logic, which lls for searchg and fdg the perpetrator wh this queer unrworld a manner that Kathryn Montgomery has outled more generally as the “fundamental goal of garnerg the largt possible dience [necsatg that] the story foc upon the heterosexual male lead character and his reactns to the gay characters rather than upon the homosexual characters themselv” (56).

And yet, while Steve’s admtance that “what I’m dog is affectg me” is a realizatn of this claim, also pots to a more plex readg than that sce ntrary to Montgomery’s further claim that such a film mt “avoid any overt display of affectn which might be offensive to certa segments of the dience” (56), Steve’s immersn to the gay scene fact clus an emotnal attachment to his gay neighbor as well as repeated sexual enunters wh men gay bars.
9Cisg may rema a problematic film (not only) om a queer perspective, but the film certaly addrs a still rampant taboo cematic reprentatns as well as amic rearch on such films: sexual vlence agast mal—homo- and heterosexual.
In ristg to produce purely posive imag of queer and mastream realist filmic nventns, Kal aims at renstctg alternative histori of queer inty, both by showg homoerotic imag—and th for the first time explicly pictg the sexual relatnship of Leopold and Loeb—and by highlightg—pecially through an exaggerated non-realist visual manner—the unjtifiably ostracizg mechanisms of the legal, medil, sexual, and ethnic disurs of mastream society. And although the film is highly self-reflexive and nstantly pots to s own artificialy, forcg the dience to reevaluate imag of (closeted) queer inty that stem om films such as Rope and Compulsn, Kal’s film has also been cricized for neglectg to ll to qutn the naturalizatn of malens (whether straight or gay) and s relatn to ializg and sexualizg vlence: “In fact, this queer cema has more mon wh the current crop of male vlence films … than do wh any femist cema.

While the arth of rearch on the reprentatns of sexualized vlence agast gays and lbians film has fally given way to an creasg scholarly attentn, there is still ls rearch on cematic transgenr characters beg victims of rape, and clearly Boys Don’t Cry serv “as an illtratn of the extreme vlence experienced by some transgenr people” (Davi and Hudson 239). In sglg out Lana—not Brandon—as the viewers’ object of possibly queer intifitn as Aaron’s ments support, do the film then only appear to disavow queerns, or do succumb to the endurg homophobic powers of mastream culture?
Aaron opts for a posive solutn argug that wh mastream dienc a “new queer spectator” has emerged who is willg to spend the ual fensive mechanisms: “New Queer Cema’s impact upon mastream cema n be measured not only terms of the flux of lbian and gay directors, or of ‘fiant’ characters or queer them, but terms of the dience’s nsensual flirtatn wh genr and sexual ambiguy wh some of the most popular texts” (“The New Queer Spectator” 187). The genred and sexual ambiguy th not only relat to Brandon, but also to Tom and John, whose pubcent looks suggt men--the-makg and whose timate homosocialy—their toxited iastic embrac after rapg Brandon, for example—give e for irratn (cf. In this sense, Boys Don’t Cry is a paradigmatic example for a crossover succs of pennt/queer cema, and while heterocentric and potentially homophobic imperativ still reign mastream cema, wh films such as Boys Don’t Cry there has e forth a broar spectm of queer moments ristg tegoril unambiguons of genr and sex and th fyg a clear-cut reprentatn of the dynamics of sexualized vlence.
Acrdgly, this scene n be lked to “down low” films such as Cover (Bill De, 2007) featurg “the paradigmatic ‘down low’ (DL) man” (Strongman 17), who typilly is a lower-class black man who has sex wh other (black or whe) men whout nsirg himself gay and who is marked by dangero hypersexualy and traracial homophobia. Whereas films such as Another Gay Movie (Todd Stephens, 2006) celebrate this screamft the munal effort of a group of young gays tryg to get flowered which clus many scen of playful over-the-top vlence but never a way that do jtice to the queer characters, The Skny this humor turns sour when nonted wh a scene that is nowhere near funny but a vic, unplayful, and unjtifiable stance of sexual asslt, even though or perhaps precisely bee is drawn wh the nventns of porn athetics.

The black queer ensemble st, the refal of monogamo uplg, and above all the cln of a very unromantic and un-il plot twist wh Sebastian’s rape all help to create an alternative to such formulaic films, where “the one who has really never been kissed, at least Hollywood romantic edi, is the queer/gay subject, pecially the queer/gay subject of lor” (Modlmog 163).
The Skny is a rare stance of a progrsive queer black cema that productively problematiz the triple margalizatn of black queer men “as black mal, as gay mal, and as trmatized mal who may have ternalized the wanton vlatns of civil rights” (Lemelle 147) and acrdgly fi stereotyp that eher femize or hypersexualize black queer men. Bis films that clu scen of homophobic queer-bashg and rape wh trmatic effects for s victims such as Amnia: The Jam Brighton Enigma (Denis Langois, 2005) or a more playfully surrealist mo Strapped (Joseph Graham, 2010), porn films are a major venue to palize on this nvergence.
In ntrast, gay male porn has bee an important ponent of assertg one’s sexual inty as a gay man: “Bee if you thk the problem facg you is that your masculy is doubt bee you’re queer, then the promise of gay male pornography looks like fivens and remptn” (Stoltenberg 72). Kg Cobra (Jt Kelly, 2016), for stance, is a film about the porn dtry, based on the actual early reer of gay porn star Sean Lockhart aka Brent Corrigan (played by Garrett Clayton), and picts porn producers as nrotic, abive, and exploative.
