"When [Lawrence of Arabia] was in production, screenwriter Michael Wilson was not paying much attention to Lawrence's sexuality. Wilson was more concerned with the theme of colonialism versus nationalism, and Lawrence's scholastic pursuits. This clearly displeased Lean, who wanted to paint more of a controversial character study, albeit on a large canvas, than Wilson had so far achieved. As far as one can judge from Wilson's notes, Lean had two overriding concerns - Lawrence's sexual make-up, and the scene that he would film in Petra. As far as the former is concerned, Wilson noted that Lean had, revealingly, compared the Lawrence-Ali relationship to Brief Encounter, his 1945 film about an unconsummated love affair starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson." - Brief Encounters: Lesbians and Gays in British Cinema 1930 – 1971 by Stephen Bourne

matt johnson premiere understander of what it's like to be painfully self-aware of The Way That You Are but totally unable to do anything to stop the patterns or to change yourself into a person that is more societally acceptable slash normal so having instead to turn around and fully embrace the fact that you are not capable of really actually growing up, and will in fact never be capable of it, and so you make it a part of your whole deal and even a profitable and empowering public identity while still also dealing with the deeply embedded and never fully eradicable shame of it.

matt johnson is like if pete doherty was toronto millenial video game movie nerd digital era grunge adjacent autistic bicurious gymbro comedy edgelord core. And pete doherty is like if matt johnson was london indie sleaze garage rock poetic new romance pansy 1920s dandy revival core. So really theyre not that different at all. and they both love THE SMITHS!

#this is so real #just today was saying to somebody if matt johnson had an opioid addiction he would be pete doherty
