Ok, I’ll admit it. I was a Tom Cruise fan back in the day and I loved “Top Gun“. But as I matured and started looking between the lines on things (and Tommy started following aliens from another planet), I didn’t realise that this film was more than just an action flick.
Hadn’t noticed things like Maverick’s angst over his relationship with Charlotte. His very close bond with Goose and those smoldering looks between him and Iceman. And what about those locker room scenes and the oily beach volleyball shenanigan. But I still thought maybe it’s all in my head and people are making something out of nothing. Until I caught my hero, Tarantino, in the 1994 film “Sleep With Me” breaking it down for me.
Makes sense.

that’s another bubble burst!
but if i’m going to be honest, i think i’ve always known… tom’s motor bike scene always left me a bit cold, in fact it took my breath away ;-)

So much so, that now i can’t listen to that track by Berlin.
Quite a bromance going on in that film, I never knew.
It’s OK Macross, simply substitute Bonni Tyler for Berlin and you’re good to ride tail again.
