"Bandits" shows how a triad can form organically
🕑 Added 2024-01-21 10:00:07 +0000 UTCToday, I'm continuing my media analysis series with a look at Bandits (2001). This surreal-romance-heist with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett, gives a solid example of how a triad can organically form. It was a lot of fun to break down, so let's jump in! Spoilers ahead.

I remember starting to watch this movie because i read that it was adressing polyamory, but ending not watching to the end because it felt "weird" 😂 You bet I am giving it another try now! Also the switching colors of your tops, awesome 😊
