does it matter?
What, just for once in your life can't you be serious?
Since someone wants to know, then yes. It obviously does matter to the person asking the question. So put your agenda away.
I don't know how the OP can even ask if he saw the film. Just as I don't know how you can say "does it matter" if you saw the film. His character being gay was the butt (haha) of several jokes that would make no sense otherwise.
"Since someone wants to know, then yes. It obviously does matter to the person asking the question. So put your agenda away."
You seem to have the one having an agenda, as you are making unreasonable assumptions just because someone asks a question.
First of all, DOES it matter? Why would some fictional character's SEXUALITY be a point of interest? Why can't sexuality be a PRIVATE thing? Why would it matter, because someone asked a QUESTION? So why doesn't THIS poster's question get the same treatment, that it MATTERS to think whether something matters - instead, you are slamming an AGENDA-accusation to him because you didn't like his COMPLETELY NEUTRAL question!
Someone asks if someone is gay = it matters whether they are gay or not (why would it?)
Someone asks if it matters = THEY HAVE AN AGENDA!! AAAGG, BURN THIS HERETIC!!
See what I am saying? See your own hypocrisy and absolute unreasonableness of what you did here?
Look, I don't mind WHATEVER anyone's sexuality is, but I also DO NOT THINK IT MATTERS compared to how good a human being someone is, what their personality is like, what kind of sense of humor they have, what kind of friend he/she is and so on and so forth.
We are always told skin color doesn't matter, gender doesn't matter, and so on - why do you SUDDENLY become a racist and think these superficial, temporary things that DO NOT DEFINE anyone's identity matter - - - because someone asked a question?!
I was about to ask the same thing, honestly. Heterosexual men are somehow not allowed to like bright colors or be 'flamboyant', even if that's their true personality. They MUST be gay if they do any of that. Do you NOT see how close-minded you and anyone that thinks it matters ARE here?
In any rational viewpoint, ANY human being should be allowed to love, like, wear ANY kind of colors, clothing, dresses, jackets, or whatever around their physical body. Wearing something does NOT change what you are inside those garments.
If you go to another planet, and find out everyone actually wears Roman Togalike, but very colorful clothing, do you just ASSUME (and think it matters) that the whole planetful of people are GAY?!
Also, the word 'gay' used to mean happy, we don't have to associate it with anything else.
In any case, in my opinion, NO, it does not matter, NO, we shouldn't know about it, and HOW DARE YOU rob heterosexuals of their flamboyance, love of color and jackets and so on?
What if he had worn dresses, would you accuse him of being a woman or something?
Why are there so many restrictions, limitations and so much immediate judgment and labeling just because someone wears something, or smiles a lot, acts a certain way or is flamboyant? I can understand it based on stereotypes, that if someone 'acts very gay', they MIGHT be gay, but I don't understand why it would matter, whether they are or not, and I don't understand why heterosexuals, asexuals or friggin herbisexuals aren't ALLOWED to do that stuff, but someone MUST immediately be labeled 'GAY' for people to understand their personality?
It sickenes me that human beings are NEVER thought of as just human beings expressing their fun personality, but these LABEL STAMPS are always at the ready and trained at ANYTHING 'different', and you MUST BE GAY if you wear this or like that or act this or that way.
Sickening. We are HUMAN BEINGS, _THAT_ is what matters - what you do in your bedroom at night does _NOT_ matter and should _NOT_ matter to anyone but you and your possibly partner(s).
You are just showing your own prejudice and agenda, by accusing an INNOCENT poster of having an agenda although they didn't do ANYTHING different than the more accusational and judgmental "LABELS MATTER"-individual you seem to support wholeheartedly with your agenda.
"I buy this in Hong Kong! Home of the shiny green suit!! :D"
shareRobin Williams points this out in literally the first scene with him, so yes.
shareWell, I'd like to know that too, it's pretty vague in the film. Also, do you think he was Asian?
shareIt's not vague in the film, it's alluded to 4-5 times, and several of those in the first minutes of meeting him.
shareI knew that I would get an answer. Gotta love IMDB. LOL
shareOh duh, this crap interface on here looked like you had replied to what I just said when I had answered their question. I swear I'm not that dense. It's actually more that people ask the most inane questions on here, leading me to believe they are between 8-12 years old.
shareYES. robin williams says. "is it me or is jimmie light in the loafers?"
whitaker says "let me put it to you this way...he's got a thing for walter brennan. he says he want's to buy naked photos of the actor. been trying for 3 years"
I always miss the start of the movie since I watch it on TV when it's on. Was the Bar Owner one of the people that died in the bombing?
shareNo. Jimmy exits the smoking remains of his bar, grabs Adrian and yells "they blew up my bar!" He may have been slightly wounded but definitely not dead.
