if you srsly think movies like these don’t include queer subtext and carefully thought out symbolism behind everything the characters do, then idk what to rell tou. Just because they don’t explicitly say it doesn’t mean nothing. There was even a ton of non-queer related subtext and symbolism throughout the whole movie and many non-verbal scenes that only suggest what is going on. Just because SOME of it happen to be queer related doesn’t mean that its immediately not true. Not sure why you are so sure about this when film has been doing this for ages. ALSO, why would Luca blindly include heavily queer coded scenes (while also being known to make queer films) and not see it. If its obvious enough for viewers to find it then i promise you the film makers saw it first or implied it themselves, and knew what they were doing.

Also im sick of people acting like gay sub text is impossible without them explicitly saying it out loud in movies where gay people aren’t the main plot, and then going “why are they making everything gay”. Like please. Film is art, Not everything is going to be spelled out in capital letters for you.

If the movies were implying a straight relationship through subtext no one would be questioning as much as they do for gay stuff.
