Top Gun - Celebrity Fanalyzer Writing Contest

Contest Brief

Welcome to Celebrity Fanalyzer Writing Contest! We are excited to showcase talented writers and provide them with an opportunity to engage with celebrity fans.

Full Prompt:

Introduction:
Delve into the enigmatic world of Top Gun, a film that has sparked heated debates and
passionate discussions within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond. Unravel the layers of this
cinematic masterpiece that, on the surface, appears to be a thrilling military drama but harbors
deeper, provocative undertones.

Primary Question for Debate:
Is "Top Gun" a subversively gay film, subtly weaving homoerotic themes throughout its narrative,
or are these interpretations a projection of viewers' perceptions rather than the filmmakers'
intent?

Exploration:
The Homoerotic Subtext: Some argue that "Top Gun" is rife with homoerotic undertones, with
scenes like the volleyball match and exchanges between male characters suggesting a queer
reading of the film.

The Filmmakers' Intent:
The creators of "Top Gun" maintain that these subtexts were
unintentional, emphasizing that they didn't set out to make a gay film. Screenwriter Jack Epps
Jr. and movie executive David Paul Kirkpatrick deny any deliberate homoerotic intentions.

Casting and Influences:
The casting choices, particularly Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis, and
the influence of photographer Bruce Weber's style add further layers of complexity to the film's
interpretation.

Critical and Academic Analysis:
Over the years, "Top Gun" has been the subject of both
critical and academic analysis, with some viewing it as a teaching tool to explore homosocial
desire.

Eroticism with Machines: The film's portrayal of aircraft and the experience of flying is
examined through a sexual lens, raising questions about the film's underlying eroticism.

Conclusion:
Despite the compelling arguments and evidence presented, the question of Top
Gun's true sexual identity remains tantalizingly unanswered. The military setting, romantic
subplot, and the intentions of the filmmakers all contribute to its complex and multifaceted
nature. As audiences, we continue to grapple with the intriguing layers hidden beneath the
surface of this iconic movie

      It still says 31st October. Looks like the contest holder lady is more interested in lgbt sensationalism than running a proper contest. But feel free to waste your precious time on this.
