That's what I was expecting. It's kind of what we were led to believe in news stories beforehand. Instead, we get a whole lot of nothing. I like the monk hairstyle. It is agreeably creepy. But what the hell is up with it being a wig? And it's shown in such a quick way, that if you blink, you'll miss it. What's the point of that? His character would have been much better if he really wanted that weird hairstyle and was actually allowed to do something in the film. If his scenes really did wind up on the cutting room floor, it was a big mistake.Yes he was creepy and I kinda liked the weirdness of him, but I was hoping he was going to open a can of whoop-
crazy and just go off on someone.
I totally agree Satorious. That is exactly the way I read the scene. He's a "tough guy" who likes opera. Very cultured.About elvis, there's a short scene in Bregenz when he's in a kind of technical room with another guy, and he turns back to stare at the other guy rather insistantly and creepily. My guess was that it was supposed to convey the idea Elvis is gay. What d'you think?
I think some people are totally misreading this scene. As I saw it, it is supposed to convey that Elvis is deeply moved by the Opera. I'm sure you see a tear in his eye. I find it a funny scene, he's this supposed heavy-henchman type, yet gets emotional all during an opera.
