Took me a few viewings to see it...


But to me, this movie is clearly about a thinly veiled homosexual relationship between Gale and Don. It's pretty obvious when Don says things like "Gale, you're a loveable lummox" and "I won't let you be happy, why should I?" It's about more than just getting Gale to do one last job. He wants Gale to be part of his life. That's why he hates Aitch so much, because he's jealous and sees him as a threat. I think Gale probably loved Don too, there was something weird about him sitting in that bed naked the day after Don died... To me this will always be a story of unrequited love

Quite exciting, this computer magic!

Yeah, who's this Gale character? I must've missed him.

You are comeplety wrong. Don was in love with Aitch's lady. Gal even tells him that he knows that his love for her is the catalyst of his anger. Don is jealous of Gal and the fact that he is surrounded by people that love him as Don is incapable of loving or being loved because simply, Don is a son-of-a-bitch.
