The Sting

Jan 03, 2008 01:45

To continue my movie education - by which I mean, my homoerotic movie education, because I am a woman of focused values and limited patiences - I rented The Sting from Netflix, having heard that it was, hmm, nuanced. Until the very end, I agreed with this interpretation.

After the end, though, wooooooow. I mean. Woooooow.

The thing is, once you know about the FBI, there is just no way to explain those looks! And those actions! And those--! I am just kind of amazed! I know, they had to do it to get the audience, but but but!

The Sting, Basically: Classic con man movie featuring the Original Danny Ocean and Rusty Ryan, only with increeeedible blue eyes on both of them and better clothing on the latter. Possibly with more added homoerotic tension, although really, they balance out; The Sting just doesn't really have any messy girlbits to get in the way. In the end, gayer than Red River. Pretty fun, pretty men, pretty con. After viewing the movie, this fic will then provide an immediate sequel, although without the direct force of Paul Newman's eyes.

just a little gay, homoerotic overtones, movie, review
