we just thought it was an awesome, underrated bro movie. bro as in brothers and male relationships.
A lot of male asses being shown, and guys who hold eye gazes longer than can be deemed non-romantic.
Also "young, dumb, and full of cum" isn't something you typically say to a new hot shot. You say they're "full of spunk".
Edit: Oh shit, it's all been gay all along. The whole damn english language!
full of spunk is a bit outdated of a phrase, but it still checks out.
it's art, you're welcome to interpret it how you like! i'm just saying, i was there, that's how we interpreted it. since you asked.
Oh absolutely, it's a great film! Just watching with a modern lens kind of makes you miss that innocence in filmwriting where macho hotshots "testing" each other comes across now more like closeted bromances than what was perhaps intended.
I kind of feel like a modern remake would lose that bromance edge, and would turn it more into a standard action film which would ruin the magic of the original.
there is a remake, and i think that's what happened XD
I weep, why remake a perfect film 🥲
