Quote:You are telling me there are not spontaneous beach volleyball seshes in the regular in the Navy? You sir, are a blasphemer of the highest order. Top Gun is the greatest documentary ever made. 

 

Top Gun is really a documentary about Tom Cruise's struggles with his homosexual tendencies. Goose represents the part of Tom's psyche that longs for a normal hetero life: wife, kids, career. Iceman is the deep dark underbelly of his true homosexual nature that longs to bubble to the surface. Throughout the film we see Maverick vacillate between gay and straight as he struggles to love a woman and resist his desire for Kazanski. The climactic moment of the movie is when Tom rejects the hetero-normative nature of American society by throwing Goose's dog tags, representative of his desires to be hetero, into the ocean. This is further confirmed when Maverick and Iceman express their double entendre-filled one-liners on the deck of the carrier. The epilogue shows Maverick, broken by his failure to persevere in the cultural challenges of the homosexual lifestyle, returning to Mirimar hopeful to rekindle the emotional flames he felt with Iceman, but instead submitting to the fraudulent cover of a relationship with a closeted lesbian.

 

Or so I've been told.
