Question: Why did Roy kiss his his maker just before killing him? Same-sex kisses on screen were far more unusual at the time the film was made, so the filmmakers presumably did it for a reason. What is that reason? And why, in the context of the plot, did Roy kiss him then kill him?

Answer: It could be the "kiss of death", similar to the kiss Michael gave Fredo in "Godfather II."
Chosen answer: He's kissing his father, thanking him for what life he has, before punishing him for making it so short.
