Oz Perkins said in a Reddit AMA that he would like not to be confused with “a fucking piece of shit idiot.'
The argument does make sense. While the gender identity of Nicolas Cage’s eerie character is never explicitly confirmed, he does appear to be slightly trans-coded. In a certain light, his long hair and cakey makeup seem to play into some backwards tropes that have plagued the genre for years, not to mention the fact that he was clearly inspired by’ Buffalo Bill, a character whose queerness is far more textual.
For some, however, the fact that all that backstory takes place off camera is a feature not a bug. In response to a Reddit user explaining that they usually watch movies “emotionally” without paying as much attention to the plot, Perkins wrote, “there might be two kinds of viewer for a picture like this: the one that wants to beat it and the one that wants to eat it. i’m glad you are you.
