Episode 3 director of ‘The Last Of Us’ reveals he deliberately tricked the audience into watching a gay love story without making it clear straight away.
“Sometimes you have to sort of trick the rest of the world into watching these things before they’re like, ‘Oh my god, it was two guys. I just realized.’ I think then they might understand it’s all real. It’s just the same love.”
— Director Peter Hoar.
