I know I’ve said something like this before, but yet again thinking of Tim Roth’s character in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover, particularly the scene where the older, richer, and more powerful man who’s kinda maybe into him and is trying to make him more sophisticated so he’s being forced to eat oysters to the point where he’s pale, sweating, hiccuping, fully throwing up… yeah
#something something the parallels of seafood and homoerotic desire going back to Greco-Roman times#particularly that which would happen between older and more powerful men of high standing and their younger servants#also just men being gross and pathetic#the cook the thief his wife and her lover#the cook the thief his wife & her lover
