[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 411514, member: 8"] I'm not sure what to think of them as friends (or a couple, from a gay perspective). There's nothing leading up to the murder therefore it's difficult to interpret Phillip's condition, his opinion of the victim or Brandon's superiority theory which apparently had to be explained to him (but in reality to [I]us[/I]) after the fact. I think Phillip mostly serves as a character that could ruin the secret between the audience and the murderers, and Brandon is only interested in showing professor Cadell his masterpiece. While the gay subject is in the dialogue in the first act, I feel the gay connection is between Brandon and the professor. This may sound a little fanficy but I could interpret Phillip's insecurity as being fueled by jealousy because he instinctively knew that it was never about him. He's the "Sue Ellen" in this story.
