I know the original Naked Lunch book delt with Homosexuality, but at least in the movie I am unconvinced that that this version of Bill Lee is a homosexual. At least in the context of the movie there something more to be said about giving into inhibition; to kill your wife, to experiment sexually, to move away, to do drugs, to dig deeper, to live a fantasy as it is reality. IDK. Despite the TRYING of the movie to make feel as if it is a statement of homosexuality, I just don't get that vibe.

this movie.....I swear...

I always thought the movie was brilliant on three levels or three films in one. The homoerotic side, CIA infiltration of the drug trade and the third being a combination of the two. It's clear that the movie used the subject matter to convey a far more deeper side and one that could never be told openly. But maybe not and hence the genius of the film. To each there own.

the way he says "queer" the second time is so unearthing. you just feel his shame and dissociation with it matched with understanding. I love this movie and no it's not offensive to gay people just accurate in it's portrayal of a gay man who wished he was straight.

I felt like I was on some bad acid trip throughout this movie

Steven Wright was around before this movie was released, but I definitely hear the similarity.

Peter Sellers in this scene gave Steven Wright his whole act.

For me this is one of my favorites it's so fucked up and twisted it's a film not for everyone and by that I mean not for stupid people I hate when people are like oh my favorite movie is for example a dumb cop movie listen those ARE NOT GOOD FILMS and by that I mean plot's very easy to figure out god this movie is VERY underrated
