#The Oxford Murders: Elijah's character's two love interests suggest he is in love with John Hurt's character

[themidnightcircusshow]

Having spent the last month binging Elijah Wood’s discography that I haven’t seen in previous binges, I’d like to officially confirm that Frodo and Todd aren’t outliers, his characters are just Like That

#Elijah Wood #By Like That I mean textually heterosexual but with heavily implied or outright suggested feelings toward the other male lead #Usually presenting as either a genuine friendship or toxic relationship that just has a little romance. You know. For seasoning. #Set fire to the stars: Johnathan and Dylan have a genuine lovers quarrel and Johnathan is upset that Dylan loves his wife more than John #Dylan comes on to him (maybe jokingly?) and he rejects it he gets called the f-slur and reviews consistently suggest he's gay #The Oxford Murders: Elijah's character's two love interests suggest he is in love with John Hurt's character #This may potentially be confirmed by the fact that Elijah is so caught up in his obsession with John Hurt that his girlfriend leaves him #And he doesn't notice (same gf said she felt like he loved him more than her) #Wilfred is the psychosis induced delusion of a man in a dog costume but he and Ryan can definitely be read in a certain light #Even movies like I don't feel at home sorta feel like a blend between romantic and platonic #To the point where it's not even clear how we're supposed to interpret it #I like that so many of his projects have that sort of platonic romance going on it's neat
