When Tom Cruise's character was walking down those streets...


... why did those teens/young men taunt him with homoerotic or more likely homophobic gestures like that, were they just being silly and getting off on picking on a random stranger or was there another, perhaps deeper, reason beyond that?

And what did that scene mean to you and what did you think of it, thanks.

Just a bunch of drunk frat boys being jerks, that's all I ever thought of it.

I guess so. Wonder why they picked on Cruise's character though?

Because he was the dude who bumped into them. I have been in a situation at least twice in which young university dudes were trying to mess with me. That’s just how they are.
