I've read a few interviews with Paul Schrader where he says the character of Carter in THE WALKER is basically an older version of Julian's character in this movie and has finally come out of the closet. I remember a lot of gay material in this movie but it never occurred to me that Julian himself might be gay. Do you suppose that's what Schrader intended at the time or that's a new idea he's had since?
shareI felt the film was directed by a gay guy. To quote Seinfeld- "Not that there's anything wrong with it.."
The characters seemed all self consumed. Maybe Shrader was unsure of his orientation at the time.
It wasn't that interesting a topic to me nor did the Miami Vice TV ethos of that time have anything to offer except eye candy. Maybe Shrader will come out and the film will be seen from that perspective.
Julian told one of his pimps, "I don't do Fhagg, Leon." 💏

I never got the impression that Julian was gay. He did what he had to in order to survive, and if the $ was right.
His real attraction was for older women. He found them Beautiful and an art form.
