OK, let's see if I can recall what I said. First, why does Lee let Allerton have a life separate from him. Allerton plays chess with the woman. There is another guy that's there. What do they mean to Allerton? Why doesn't Lee try to learn more about them? Also, what does Joe mean to Lee? What does Lee mean to Joe? Joe seems to hint he's interested in Lee, but never really pushes it. He does say he's happy to see Lee when Lee returns back to Mexico City. When Joe explains what happened to Allerton, Lee seems uninterested in finding Allerton. But he came back to Mexico City. Why did he do that, only to give up? What do you think Lee does afterwards? What's he looking for? Does Joe's presence help? Why didn't Joe leave? What kept him in Mexico City? His life seems the same as it always has been. He's constantly getting robbed by men he's interested in.
@@tennisCharlzz I think he gave up because of the news Joe gives Lee that Allerton is in South America with another army ex-pat as his tour guide. I can only guess that while he wasn’t ready to explore his queerness at the time with Lee, two years later, Allerton has found someone else. As Dr. Cotter said: “Once the door is open, it can’t be closed. We can only look away, but why would we?” Allerton chose to look away, but we can infer from the epilogue, he couldn’t look away forever.
My favorite symbolism is the chess game which Allerton plays with the woman and not Lee. That scene where he sets up the chess board while talking to Lee and then, Lee understands that it's his cue to to leave when he's done setting up the chessboard. It's like Allerton is telling Lee that he's playing a game with that woman, but not with him. Even though he is playing chess with him. Powerful.
I was thinking, perhaps Lee doesn't really want to know Allerton as a person at all. He's not curious about this woman or his personal life. He wants a physical relationship then something beyond that. Sort of like a Vulcan mind meld, but more spiritual. Sure, he's fascinated by Allerton's beauty (who wouldn't be) but he wants to know what it's like to be Allerton or his essence or to connect with him. Although he talks to Allerton, he's only interested in the stories he tells. He shows very little curiosity about Allerton. That discussion Allerton has explaining what he does for a living isn't that compelling to Lee.
Burroughs complained about Marker being a chess player in his letters to Ginsberg. He remarked that it was a pointless pursuit that could someday be completely solved by a thinking machine which proved to be a prophetic observation.
I loved one detail: after the time skip not only Lee had a camera just like Allerton did, he had his hair styled the same as Eugine, but at the same time he was dressed the same as when the two of them had met, as to symbolize the merge between the men, the way they’re life is intertwined (at least for Lee), both the influence of Lee’s relationship with Allerton on his present and the longing and nostalgia for the past
13:53 I love how in the earlier scene, Allerton’s back is to Lee, with only his leg extended. But in the last, he is the bigger spoon. In Lee’s last moments, it shows the importance of the embrace and how Lee remembers it or rather how it felt and its impact. Also in the first scene, Allerton’s brow is furrowed. But here we cannot see their faces. I don’t know if I’m reaching, but I also tie it to the news of Allerton going back to South America with another army ex-pat (I figure he is going to reopen the door but with someone who he openly feels the same way about and sure about his identity). In a way, it’s almost like the younger Allerton letting Lee know that he is queer and no longer disembodied.
Thank you! This truly helped me take a strip back to understand the film’s symbolism more. I was struggling with piecing everything together and it makes better sense now . Great take!
The snake eating its tail at the end was crying. I still don't understand what happened to Allerton when they were in South America. Most confusing movie I've ever seen in my entire life.
I saw it as a pure expression of loneliness. Nothing more. Like the whole movie. It was about loneliness, fear of rejection. I didn't even see that Allerton loved him. It was just a pass time for him.
An excellent analysis of the symbols & background of this masterpiece from Luca Guadagnino. Not many people would understand, or care to understand, the depth of what Guadagnino wants to communicate. Thank you, Lucas.
Another awesome analysis Lucas. I love this movie and saw it twice in the theaters. I’m reading the novela now too. What an interesting man Burroughs was!
Omg what a life Burroughs lived, I couldn’t believe so many of the things I was reading when doing my research, I’m sure the novella is excellent with so many new ideas, enjoy!!
Excellent review and straight to the point,thank you so much. I just came from the cinema,thinking that this movie lacks something in the plot that makes me feel empty somehow. There are good moments like the sex scenes and the dreams, but as the film moves on is like the plot weakens heavily to strike a chord with me in the whole, but your review makes sense and the killing of Burroughs wife is vital to understand that. Guadagnino is a good director, but i think in the hands of Del Toro or Cronenberg could have been maybe a more challenging film. My gratitude to you to make me understand this movie.😊
Instant Subscribe! Exquisitely worded and explored. I'd admit honestly that going in more or less blind after having only watched the trailer and a few tidbits here and there about the movie, and no context of the book, was left bit flummoxed with the symbolism. Thank heavens for your informative dissection. Intriguing piece of cinema for sure,,,
Although Lee is infatuated with Allerton, he never seems to push himself into the relationship that Allerton has with that woman he plays chess with and the other man who Lee seems to know. Why do you think he lets that part of Allerton's life remain a mystery to him. Also, what do you think Joe means to Lee or what does Lee mean to Joe. It seems Joe hints that he's interested in Lee, but Lee isn't interested in him. They seem to have more in common, and yet, that relationship doesn't happen. Still, it's his one connection to Mexico City when he returns. Also, I believe Lee has styled his hair like Allerton when he returns to Mexico City. He also doesn't seem compelled to find Allerton again. One wonders what Lee chooses to do and why he chose to come back to Mexico City. If it's to find Allerton, then why doesn't he pursue it any further?
in response to your last question, i think Lee finally, mostly lets go of Allerton.. knowing he ate his heart out for an impossible synchronicity between them. yet, he is searching for closure in this ambiguous way of returning to Mexico. I think him keeping his hairstyle like Allerton represents him holding onto in a personal way, without pursuing him physically. but we know, from the last scene, that Allerton and Lee's moments of affection remained with him until death.
loved this thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏾. i thought it was visually stunning when watching but felt i was missing a lot, still enjoyed the storytelling but we as an audience could’ve benefitted from a bit more context that was given in the book.
Thank you for your intelligent and clear analysis ≈ even into the depths of conveying the Transcendence found in QUEER, both the Film & William S Burroughs's novella !!
I saw a perfect example of anxious+avoidant types in love. Super didactic. Thank you, Lucas, for filling in the details of the book author's personal life. It was very elucidative. What did you get from the floating sheet of paper between Lee and Eugene?
Haven’t seen this yet so will be back when I do! I just wanted to wish you a very 🎁🎄🧑🎄MERRY CHRISTMAS Lucas🎅🎄🎁 and continuing success in 2025! It’s been such a pleasure to follow your insightful videos and many thanks for your continued feedback also in the comments … it’s an added attention that really makes such a difference!! 🙏🏻🙋🏻♀️🙏🏻
That was a great analysis with which I agree about 90%. 🙂 I had a bit of a different take on a few things. I, too, think this is an excellent movie in so many ways. It is well written, the acting (especially Daniel Craig and Drew Starkey) is superb. The cinematography and music are phenomenal. It definitely represents the lives and the psychology of gay men at two very different stages of self-acceptance in the early '50s. So, why is it so divisive? Why do some love it and some hate it? I think it has to do with a few things. First, there are people who are homophobes and hate queer movies. Not sure why they went (LOL--yes, I am pretty sure, at least). Second, it has a lot of metaphors in it. People's brains tend to be dichotomous as to whether they are linear thinkers and like movies in which everything is spelled out for them OR they are less concrete and more associative thinkers and like the many interpretations of metaphors. Of course, it's really a continuum, but these are the extremes. People at the first extreme (more concrete thinkers) would hate this movie and not understand its true meaning. Those at the other extreme probably would love it. As you say, it's the story of a gay man in middle-age (former military) who lives in Mexico. He's a drug addict, which likely represents the misery he experiences as a gay man in the '50s. He says he's in Mexico because his drug habit would get him imprisoned in the U.S. Remember, though, this was the era of McCarthyism, and his homosexuality also may have gotten him imprisoned--as a "communist"). So, he lives in Mexico and is seeking a meaningful gay relationship. Unfortunately, all he finds is superficial hook-ups. He sees and becomes infatuated with Eugene, a younger man who is struggling with his queer identity and is unable to accept it. Yet, he is drawn to Lee, the older man. This sets the stage for what is to occur. The part that I think really confuses people and is off-putting for them is Chapter 3 with the telepathy augmenting drug in South America. This is the metaphor for the struggle that Eugene is going through, knowing that he is attracted to men, specifically Lee, and denying his own homosexuality. Lee "hears" the thoughts of Eugene during their drug intoxication, "I AM NOT QUEER!" Ultimately, Eugene runs away in an effort to escape his sexuality and love for Lee. And Lee lives on alone, lonely, and grieving over the loss of Eugene, and dies a miserable death. Whie the movie has a bit of romance; it really is a tragedy of two gay men who are at very different stages of their lives and unable to connect in the early '50s. That is my assessment of the movie.
I think your interpretation is excellent but I also want to say that I think this is a movie that could be discussed for very long time which I think makes it such a special film I couldn't help but think through the film though in some of the scenes that William Lee was also grieving not only for the situation with his wife but also I believe for is lost youth which may or may not have tied in with his desire for Allerton. Definitely a film that encourages to be discussed and analyzed.
Strongly agree with every word! I’m already noticing as time passes, this comment section becoming richer and richer with ideas beyond this video, it’s beautiful to see
@lucasblue20 one other thing I'd like to add is I felt as though Allerton was not on the same intellectual level that William Lee was on I noticed the second time in conversations especially in the first part after they first meet that they weren't really matched intellectually the scene where William Lee is talking about that he's a homosexual and that his family has always been cursed with being one while Allerton is just eating though Allerton was listening I felt that moment of confession from William Lee needed more attention from Allerton
Vi esta película hace poco y fue tan emocional, lloré no solo por la belleza de la cinematografía y esa elegancia europea, me sentí indudablemente representado, la Soledad, el Muerdo, la vergüenza, todo un viaje para lograr el amor propio. Buen análisis. 😊
Great video. That's exactly what I saw. True connection with Ayahuasca. Fear after that. I think the ceremony is the heart of the film. I loved it. By the way, I' ve seen it twice already. Thank You
@andieshults4083 oh yeahhh, thanks for bringing this up, I think the glass indicates the barrier of separation Lee always felt when with Allerton. He could be right next to him, but there was always something preventing a pure form contact and connection. That’s my interpretation but it would be interesting to see if anyone else adds to this thread
@@lucasblue20I’m from UK, but went to the premiere of it last year. I would love to hear your thoughts on the film as I find your analysis videos brilliant. I fw them a lot they are the perfect amount of personal opinion, analysis, insight and commentary rather than just summing up the plot of the movie. I’ve written a long ass review about the brutalist because it infuriated me so much. I wanted to love it so bad. Love your channel man
@@ellalep omg sooo kind of you to say, you don’t know how much it warms my heart to hear, thank you 🙏🏾 and wow lucky you but also it’s unfortunate I guess cuz u watched a movie you didn’t enjoy for 3 and a half hours haha it’s all good though, glad you could express yourself with a review, that’s really important. I think it releases wide in both our countries on the same day, the 24th, but I do have tickets to see a special screening tmrw so I’ll work on a video next week and upload likely the week of the 27th if not the 24th. Cannot wait! Feel free to link me your review too
It was a movie about loneliness and fear of rejection imo. Allerton did not love Lee. I read the book. An insufferable book that was beautifully made into a movie. Well done is an understatement.
Yearly, @ this time, when film prizes are being passed around and nominations too--- there is a film I feel I should see, but there's little enthusiasm. [MARRIAGE STORY & 1917, come to mine, neither which I particularly enjoyed.] This year it is QUEER. Even listening to a cogent commentary like this one, my interest level remains low. I think I will just listen my inner voice. A twist appears to be that Burroughs accidentally killed his wife. It's what Norman Mailer said too. And the historic "sexuality issues" just seem like yesterday's bacon.

I haven’t found any analysis that ties in all of the motifs coherently, this is sooo good !!!!!!
You don’t know how happy I am to hear this! So so glad you found the analysis so clear for such an obscure movie, thank you so much!!
you actually did a proper explained video instead of recapping the plot. I love you

I thought the ending of the bed scene was to show that allerton still has a hold on lee even til he dies
I saw it as a pure expression of loneliness. Nothing more. Like the whole movie. It was about loneliness, fear of rejection. I didn't even see that Allerton loved him. It was just a pass time for him.
I just came out of the movie and needed to make sense of my thoughts! Great video!
Oh... Did shed a tear for the ending since it reminded me of the other gut wrenching one - All of us Strangers!!!!
omg. I had just finished it and with your analysis, it all made perfect sense. Such a powerful film when seen through these explanations.
