Retired Badass | |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead / int_112daba0 | comment |
Retired Badass: The other gangs get nervous when Will is spotted in London, although he insists he's not getting back into the business. This changes when he finds out what happened to his brother. By the end of the film, he has achieved his goal and is wanting to become this again. We don't get to see if he succeeds. | |

Rape as Drama | |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: The script was written as a deconstruction of the rape of a man. Most of the events in the story revolve around the fallout of the rape, and the motivation as well as how the victim is perceived by others due to his gender are discussed in the film. | |

I See Dead People: Played with. Will hallucinates that his brother is at the terminal on the ferry. He is not aware at this time that Davey is dead, and hasn't spoken to him in several months. The vision disturbs him enough that he reaches out to make sure everything is okay. Which, of course, it isn't. | |

Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Subverted with Will and Helen. They are former lovers, only still connected by their love for Davey. Helen tries to get Will to leave so that he doesn't fall back into the lifestyle that drove him to have a mental breakdown. In the end, Will asks Helen to run away with him, but the Ambiguous Ending hides whether or not they do. | |

Depraved Homosexual: Decobstructed. The coroner is very quick to tell Will that rape is not about sexual attraction, and the psychologist advises Will to look for a heterosexual assailant. Subverted when the actual reasoning behind Boad's targeting of Davey was revealed to be jealousy of how charming he was, and how everyone let him get away with everything. | |

Rape Leads to Insanity | |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead / int_a2bff6bc | comment |
Rape Leads to Insanity: Will asks Davey's acquaintances if they knew any reason Davey would kill himself. It is implied that he might not have been as happy as he seemed, especially after Will stopped calling regularly, but the coroner and psychologist make it clear that being raped (and specifically forced to orgasm) is what pushed him over the edge. This revelation also breaks Will, and sets him on his path of revenge. | |

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead / int_dda99fa8 | comment |
Despair Event Horizon: Davey's rape was this for many characters. When Will and Mickster learn what happened, they realize they're going to kill the man who raped him. For Will, this is particularly devastating, as he'd been trying to leave his violent past behind. Davey was shown to be enjoying his life prior to being raped, although he wasn't quite as happy as he seemed. After the rape, he sits in a cold bath for 12 hours in contemplation before killing himself. | |

Dark and Troubled Past: The story begins with Will having run away from his life as a gangster following a mental breakdown. We are never shown or told what the breaking point was, only that he considers everything up to it a "life wasted." It is discussed briefly by his former gang members, who want him to return to that life, and Turner, who wants to make sure he is only back for Davey's funeral. | |
