Did anyone actually feel sorry for Bobby?
I don't know, this movie sparked a sense of sympathy with me towards him. I know, he was an immense jerk who had severe anger problems and Marty and Lisa wanted out, but that doesn't mean he deserved to die. He had problems and his aggressive and rude behavior was how he dealt with it, like a lot of teenagers do in reality. He needed help, not death, and I know the film was trying to show the destabilization of today's youth, but I just really could not find it believable at all, even if it is based on a true story.
I still enjoyed the movie though, and it was entertaining and well played out per say, but I'm still wondering if people here had a bit of heart for Bobby and wanted to give him a big hug/gift basket or something.
Also, my whole outlook on all the gay themed material and subjects expressed in the movie is that I indeed thought Bobby had a crush on Marty, even if he didn't think he was gay. He was too angry and obsessed with everyone he knew's expectations and viewpoints of male sexuality, like his father, who if I recall was expecting much of him in life. He did gay porn with Marty and played it while he screwed a girl who he refused to look in the face, gave evil glares towards Lisa when Marty was screwing her and washed his hands almost like he was disgusted after he screwed the girls. He might have been going through all this with Marty, like the gay bar, to turn him gay.
I'd rather be disemboweled with a toothbrush.
