(29,047 posts)62. Tetsuo spoilers!!!!
The physical union between the two ironmen could be viewed as romantic, I guess, but their love seemed to be directed at destroying the world by turning it into rust.
The event that brought the two men together was sexual. The couple hit the first ironman with their car, and then fucked right in front of him, as opposed to helping him, but I don't know if the union at the end of the movie was meant to be taken as romantic or not. Their motivation seemed beyond basic human needs at that point, but the scene can easily be interpreted as homoerotic, in my opinion.

Was "Tetsuo" a (same-sex) romance of sorts? The ending kind of makes it seems that way...

Yeah, I guess a few people have interpreted the film as a metaphor for a man

Oh lucky you. I could put a chair outside my window, but there is not much of a lawn.
