I remember that scene waaay back when we had VHS tapes and video stores when you could rent all movies, not just the top 25 at a Red Box (ugh), but the scenes with Leo and Lupin were strange. You see leo on the guys rear but the rear looks fake you really don't SEE the rest of Lupin. And when they appear 'on top of each other' (from the side) it looks strange like they aren't really on top of each other I kind of wonder if they were doing some old school fancy camera work there and 'the butt' didn't look real and probably wasn't. I do remember him at the window swing his shirt around which was kind of funny. But yeah it was a slow movieit wasn't 'great', but ok for the time period they were trying to portray with controversial issues.
3rd generation American from a long line of Gottscheers it was Drandul, dude!

Know this question is late in coming, but have to ask
Are you sure that Leo's putting it to David in that scene where he climaxes while sitting erect in bed? Or is he actually riding David's unit? Hard to tell!
"Believe not what you wish to believe, but what in truth you can"

Leo`s grandmother emigrated from Russia to Germany so technically as he has put it himself - "I am actually half Russian!"
Leo DiCaprio,CSI,Jonathan Wood,Titanic,Romeo & Juliet = My Life

What else should he be. Black? Yellow? Red? Green?
Of course Italians are "white" by any color scheme.
The term "Latino", if you want to differentiate it from any other, means Americans with a Spanish or Latin American (Spanish-speaking) heritage. LDC is neither of them.
(Of course, with the color scheme, Latinos are "white", too not Anglo-Saxon white, but still white as contrary to "yellow", "black" or "red". There are no other colors)
Geeez, some people are more concerned with race than the Nazis ever were
Hmmm?

Look y'all, the man is half German, part Italian. His mother is German, his father is half German, half Italian, and that's were the part Italian comes in. But all in all, HE IS WHITE!

Leonardo DiCaprio is half Italian. That makes him half Latin. Not White.
Italian people are white people. Whether Italian-American or native Sicilian, Italians are white. If an Italian guy filled out a race card, he wouldn't check "Latin" he would check "Caucasian" or "White."
I'm sure if you asked Leonardo DiCaprio or Al Pacino, for that matter, what color they are, they'd reply, "Are you color-blind? I'm white." LOL!

There were a lot of sex scenes in the movie including Leo's character putting IT in Verlaine's a$$, lol.
way to graphic (to the point of shock).

anyone got a link to the scene??

Yea, there are sex scenes. Most of them were a little unsettling, especially seeing Leo having sex with Professor Lupin.

Leo was 20? Wellnever would have guessed that. I knew he obviously was older than 16 because it would be illegal or something for them to film that stuff. Yeah. Well, this is a very odd movie. The thing that was wierd for me was that I kind of disliked both of the characters.

Rimbaud was so brattyAnd the old guy too, what's his namewhat an unlikeable character. that was the only problem with this movie for me. but hey, they were just telling it like it was.
Paul Verlaine was 28, 29 at the time of his affair with Rimbaud, who was 10 years younger.
Leo was 20 when he played Rimbaud in this movie. David Thewlis, who plays Verlaine, was 32. So they were both roughly the same age as the poets they were impersonating.
It is important to remember that Paul Verlaine was a very, very great poet, already, at 28not an "old man" with the hots for a kid. But his alcoholism made him look older.
Rimbaud was a true psychopathbesides being the greatest European poet of his generation. Leo played him beautifully.

"the only thing is about alexander is there is absolutely no proof about him being gay. . ."

Oh please! There are several of Alexander's familiars who have written accounts* that confirm him having relations with at least two men. He may not have been homosexual, but he was bisexual at the least.
*check to see if it's true if you want, but I'm right.
"If you want to be kalos kagathos [beautiful and good], throw away the rag you have on your head and come to us. But you won't be able to, for you are ruled by Hephaestion's thighs." [Diogenes of Sinope, Letters, 24] (as quoted in the movie) ++++Why would Alexander mourn the loss of someone if he were not completely in love with them? I don't think "They were just friends" works here.++++
Alexander's wistful show of enthusiasm towards the eunuch Bagoas and his dance caused the warrior king to rise to his feet cheering, which so pleased the Macedonians that they shouted out for him to kiss Bagoas, and never stopped clapping their hands and shouting till Alexander took him in his arms and kissed him warmly.[Plutarch, The Lives]
" Bagoas, a eunuch exceptional in beauty and in the very flower of boyhood, with whom Darius was intimate and with whom Alexander would later be intimate," [Curtius, VI.5.23]

And by the by, homosexuality has been around for a hell of a lot longer than any of you have mentioned. There is solid evidence that there were homosexual cavemen. And homosexuality isn't just linked to humans, several species of animals both in the wild and captivity have shown homosexual tenancies. And who the hell cares anyways? It's just sex! We should be more worried about pedophilia(sex with children)and necrophilia(sex with dead people/corpses). True?

the only thing is about alexander is there is absolutely no proof about him being gay, but anyway. i dont think it was uncommonn at all, during any period, just kept under wraps.

Oh, iheartwillow, with your Humanities 101.
The term "homosexual," and the idea that it was not something you DID but something you WERE, were not invented until the late 1800s, so saying Socrates was "heterosexual" is just silly. Saying it because "he had a wife" is just stupid. But whatever. "Homosexuality" was around long before Sparta, kid. Try taking the 202 class next.
