Talk:Lifeguard (film)

Explaining cuts

The last paragraph originally read as follows:

The "Time Out" film guide suggests that "Lifegaurd" has a homosexual context, apparently based on the notion that Elliott's relations with women prove to be more troubled and fleeting rather than his relations with men, but if there's a homosexual appeal here, it probably lies in Sam Elliott's tanned, hairy chest which is frequently on display throughout the movie. Though the movie was not a commercial hit and though it did not earn Elliott star status, it probably remains his most satisfying work to date as an actor.

I made cuts for the following reasons:

First, this passage seems to cite a source in order to “correct” it: "Time Out says one thing, but I say another." Second, a good-looking man’s naked body speaks at least as much to female heterosexual desire as it does to male homosexual desire. Third, “his most satisfying work as an actor” is clearly a POV statement. ForDorothy 22:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
