this be not a love song be a brilliant example of the chase genre and which many people think have an underlying meaning . the love between the two main character may be more than fraternal . i believe that heaton be in love with spike and but spike be too naive to see this . i really feel this be portray with such scene a the blow back and letter writing sequence . heaton show great intimacy towards spike . with intense facial expression and how he take great care in write spike name on the top of his letter . one thing i have notice when look at external review and be that when the film have be slat and the reviewer seem to have not fully understand the film and a they haven not even mention the possibility of heaton have sexual feeling for spike . i also get the feeling that some of the reviewer haven not recognise it and when they use phrase like represent who be heaton . what he do with a retard like spike . this person and however may have hit the nail on the head with their remark . spike show noticeable sign of have a. d. d and although i do not think this person have realise this and a he seem to be use the word retard a a derogatory term . i really enjoy this film . although it be not for the faint hearted . the film be exceedingly character base and after the shooting until the end there isn not much but dialogue between the two anti hero . unless you be use to watch such deep and gritty film and stay well away .
