Is boris from the goldfinch gay

For me, it was interesting to figure out the why based on the way he was raised and his culture. It really encapsulates their love for each other. It was such a huge learning experience and a major character study for me. Though the film faltered at the box office, it gave Wolfhard an opportunity to stretch his acting skills by perfecting an accent.

I was so into the character without being method. He played it very authentic, and that really helped me in the scene. When two people shared a same-gender kiss onscreen, it used to make waves throughout the press. Did you play Boris as someone who had romantic feelings for Theo?

But there could be more to it than just a formal thing. Boris Volodymyrovych Pavlikovsky is a major character in The Goldfinch. Apparently, the novel suggests that Boris and Theo had a sexual relationship. As Finn Wolfhard grows up, so do his characters. He is a vivacious, unique, and in many ways comic character, though his friendship with Theo is one of the most important parts of the novel.

He has romantic and sexual relationships with a few girls, and he marries a woman in his adulthood, but there’s a distinct lack of passion in his marriage, and it’s made clear that his relationship with Theo is the most important one in his life by a long stretch.

Boris Pavlikovsky is a queer character from The Goldfinch. Boris is the second most important character in the novel after Theo. We were learning a lot, and it was a huge learning experience for us. So when Theo goes down and tries to get the painting, Boris turns around and gives that look.

It sounds terrible to say, but Oakes and I just had so much fun going into why these characters feel this way. It was pretty intense, but like I said, the set was not as intense as the movie makes it out to be. When it comes to Boris, I think it’s safe to say he was in love with Theo as well.

After all, he was the one to drape an arm over Theo’s waist, he was the one to kiss Theo, he was the one who would’ve died for Theo. With the whole LSD thing, I just listened to psychedelic rock. Oakes [Fegley] really helped me because he set the bar for how messed up he was going to be in those scenes.

Did you do any research as far as how one might behave at his age? It was a three-week shoot in Albuquerque, and then I think I had a few months off before starting Stranger Things 3. I did The Goldfinch first, which was about a three-week shoot, plus some preproduction stuff in New York.

Did you shoot a ton of different reaction shots since that was such a crucial moment? The humor stuff really comes natural. He is portrayed by Finn Wolfhard and Aneurin Barnard in the film long as I am acting out of love, I feel I am doing best I know how. Strictly speaking, we don’t know if Boris is gay.

Boris was born in Ukraine to a Ukrainian father and a Polish mother. During Stranger Things 3 , I shot It: Chapter Two, so I would shoot on my days off, which was super tiring and stressful, but really rewarding at the same time. People deal with death differently; some even laugh at funerals.

So the humor was the easier stuff to do. By Brian Davids. Born to Polish and. The actor [Kevin Owen McDonald] who played my father was the sweetest man ever. As far as the drugs and alcohol thing, Boris is so used to getting messed up. In addition to mastering a Russian accent, you were also juggling a sense of humor and an altered state from all the drugs and alcohol Boris consumed.

Boris and Theo take acid at one point in the movie. How did you pull these other attributes off since the accent was already hard enough? It really does feel like deep love for him. Were you relieved to get that scene out of the way as quickly as possible?
