So my teacher is convinced Tom and Leo had something going on..


Is there anyone out there that also has this opinion? I just don't see it, I mean I just saw them as good friends and Tom as a loyal aid who in the end decided his job was done and he was finished. Leo begging him not to leave is understandable, not homoerotic in any way to me, it was a "bromance" not a romance.

This is my signature. There are many others like it but this one is mine

Mink, the Dane, and Bernie are gay and in a love triangle. Your teacher needs to pay more attention

Your teacher is projecting.

Your teacher is projecting his fantasy fiction onto the movie.

The teacher is insane. It was a bromance.

However, Mink, the Dane, and Bernie are in a love triangle. Mink and the Dane are an item. Bernie "jungled up" with Mink to get information about Caspar's fixes. This is spelled out in the movie several times, though it's subtle.
