Just watched this again for the second time after first seeing it years ago and it struck me as an interesting directorial choice how they only chose to reveal Arnold's brother was gay right at the end of the movie. Given the statements by Arnold about his early sexual experiences with his brother.

"Look at banner Michael!"
Yeah that was really shocking when it happened. Felt the tiniest bit manipulative, but it's all good
shareI wonder if it was intended as a surprise or whether the director deliberately kept it from us as it may have swayed our opinion of Arnold early on in the film.

"Look at banner Michael!"
To me, it was obvious almost immediately.
shareIt was pretty obvious but also it doesn't seem important. Who cares who in this film was gay or not -- many child molesters are straight, too....
