Elliott wasn’t anti-gay. Earlier in the interview, he referenced the first casting director who took an interest in him, a gay man who basically wanted Elliott to hang out in his office because he was handsome (they became friends). Elliott objected to the director’s notion that the cowboy was a myth… that there weren’t trail-blazing manly men taming the frontier. He objected to a woman from New Zealand wanting to deconstruct the male role in American history. He saw it as a mean-spirited slight against a genre he’s made a career in. He liked the director and the actors involved, but he disliked the film. He could have worded it better if he cared to, but he said a lot of impolitic things in the interview. He’s not young, and has no interest softening his words. Honestly, he seemed more upset that the hat he wore in “1883” didn’t fit. > David > > On Tuesday, March 1, 2022, 05:53:33 PM PST, PGage <[email protected]> > wrote: > > > Jesus.
