I completely agree, There were a lot of gays in the wild west, Some wore a certain color to signify their bottom status. That's actually real.
Ohhhhh interesting!
@@AStoryWorthTelling we might have to do gay history time haha
that hanky code wasnt an invention of the 1970s after all!
Pedro Pascal is the hottest man I've ever seen in my life. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Still hoping that y'all watch Good Omens! I have faith y'all will watch it and fall in love with it like we all did. The show has wonderful representation in it!
At the Cannes presentation, Almodovar talked about his will to answer the question ask in Brokeback Mountain : "What can two men in a ranch do" or something like that. Pedro Pascal give the answer at the end of SWOL : "Take care for each other, look after one another...". The loop is looping (french expression I don't know if it makes any sense in english)
The strong colors of the film have a reason, and his name is Pedro Almodóvar. For film lovers, it's very easy to recognize one of his films, he's very artistic, and he loves to use red, I love that. And GOD you should have made many Pedro Pascals, because I wanted one for myself, I would be happy forever😍
Many towns in the old west as it was being settled were initially populated almost entirely by men. These places were considered rough and dangerous and no place for women (given the gender roles of the day). This type of atmosphere naturally would lead men who were so inclined to look for companionship amongst themselves. And many older western films do in fact have some gay undertones to some of the characters.
I even remember we had an American history textbook when I was in junior high in Illinois in the 1970's that had a paragraph that mentioned how some old west towns held dances for recreation on Saturday nights and, since there were no women, half the men would wear a bandana in their back pocket to indicate that they would take the role of the woman in the partnered dancing. Interestingly, that idea of a bandana in the back pocket signaling something was adopted by gays in the 1970s, especially in the leather/western gay bars, and there was an elaborate code of colors as to what you were into being signaled by the color of the bandana in your back pocket.
I didn't expect this film to end with a happy ending honestly.
All of the actors are gorgeous!!! Thank you, Almodovar ❤
I saw this a couple times in theaters and there was a 30 min interview with Almodovar (who wrote and directed SWOL) at the end.
He had a vision for a full film with these characters and as unsatisfying and bittersweet (and unhinged, frankly - Silva essentially has kidnapped Jake) as the short is, the full film idea is more heartbreaking.
Though far more extreme than here: the kidnapping of Jake gave me Boxing Helena vibes (RIP. Julian Sands).
In Re: Degrees of social freedom (or at least relative tolerance) in the American Old West -- it literally just varied from town to town, region to region, decade to decade. While overt/public queerness (as we define today) wasn't generally accepted, what happened in certain bars/inns, and certainly in private homes -- which, in the Old West, could easily be miles or more from anyone else -- allowed for certain freedoms for some queer individuals.
you two should react to eye witness, it’s a beautiful and unique gay storyline:)
yess
i just came to second what somebody already said in the comments: if you're craving for queer westerns, The power of the dog is an option
Yasss! I was waiting for you to react to this one!
Is Josh's hat part of a Woody costume?
Almoldavar is a camp/queer genius. You should watch one of his older movies, like LAW OF DESIRE. Back in the 80’s, it was a invigorating FU to AIDS, fundamentalists, and mainstream bigots.
Another great reaction!! Love watching what you guys have to say! I really think you'd enjoy watching Feel Good, there is so much stuff to discuss and I feel like it's so underrated! (Me shamelessly trying to pitch it whenever I can to whoever I meet aha)
There are actually westerns with queer subtext. Check out “Red River” with Montgomery Clift.
When I tell you people died when they first heard of this. Also, there’s a scene with drinking wine from a barrel for which you need your fan.
Oh don’t we know it 😍
I remember gasping like a goldfish when this first was announced
Thanks for reaction this movie. I love it❤
The way I've been WAITING FOR THISSSS
The film is so good!
* Alex voice * I know!!
So gay because it's from Pedro Almodóvar. It does burn through plot in a damn hurry.
I also was confused about the plot and who killed who….needed to be a regular length movie. I needed more flashbacks too, bc its like just one and it doesnt give enough depth to their relationship.
the southern accent took me out lmaooo
About being more free and lawless back then. Don't forget that the bigots were also more free to do as they wanted. I imagine there were some bastards back then that easily avoided punishments for what they did.
Would love to see you two react to a Dixon Dallas song.
I Stan Pedro Pascal
Don’t we all 😉
Disagree that the film "subverts" the genre. It's just bringing the essential (and oft-noted) gayness of the classical western to the surface. Almodovar is obviously the right person for the job!
Maybe the guy from Elite was the sheriff sidepiece... #justsaying
Where can I watch this?? I'm in the US and can't find it anywhere 😢
I never heard of this movie lol well then again I kinda live in the middle of nowhere lol
Should watch Red River. John Wayne, Cookie, and Montgomery Clift.
I'd love to see you two react to the (very hot lesbian) Korean movie The Handmaiden.
Oh, it's a short film, no wonder it's shot and the scenes are strange in composition.
Actually the west was apparently super gay... cowboys especially!
Greetings my dear Gay mates 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈

You guys need to watch The Power of the Dog with Benedict Cumberbatch
I really wanted to like that movie..but no..
Agreed. An excellent flick. Lots of nuances to observe in the story.
Too Short, Should Have Been At Least 2 Hours😢
NOT well written (IMO)…it was kind of confusing 🤔
