Anti-gay? What is the man talking about?

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2002)

Funny how some people have almighty chips on their shoulders. I watched this excellent film without even considering the sexuality of the men involved. It is not an issue in the film. At all. Odd that one person seems to think that the whole film hinges on it. Yes, it's true that the elderly Serbian soldier (he's just an ordinary private by the way, not a general or even an officer) has a picture of a naked man in his wallet. As far as I can see, it's meant to be a throwaway amusing two seconds, a counterpoint to his macho attitude. Nothing more than that. No deep meaning. Not the crux of the whole film or even a vaguely important part of the plot. The film is about war, not sexuality. Don't try to factor it into your personal crusade.
