A major point or theme of the movie seems to have been missed here.
This movie was written by a gay man. I rmember reading somehwere, that part of what he was trying to achieve is to make a non-gay audience understand or at least appreciate what goes into an attraction between two men. For better or worse, there is a gay agenda for this movie. Both the director and writer were gay men (the director has died from AIDs complication so I used past tense).
So when Alec Baldwin kisses the Old Man, we as the audience are intended to identify with what he is feeling in bringing himself to make that kiss, and to see that love and even attraction can transcend the bodies that we find ourselves in, even if the two bodies in question are same sex. -
