Notes

SPOILER ALERT. I usually studiously avoid spoiler in my published notes. But this film concludes with a cliché denouement -- suicide. It need not have been a happy ending, a least as it relates to this particular narrative, but suicide is a cheap trick, often used in early gay literary expressions. Walker-Dack [QueerGuru] says that "The ending thankfully puts us back on track." He's wrong. It certainly does not! We've come much to far in our liberation journey to see suicide as freedom.
