  The story is based on Melville's Billy Budd and some of the rather odd music is taken from Britten's opera of the same name. Many believe it to have a homosexual subtext but in my opinion it needn't be read that way.

    Well the FILM is definitively underlying the homosexuality in the story, that is the reason why the young fellow is send to death...

      Plus, is homosexuality a movie-worthy tragic situation? Be careful! You may get pounced upon...

        Don´t worry, I already been accused of being homosexual last week, and they promised me the old biblical chatiment for sodomie....
        So, but let´s come back to the point....
        First, you have the " friendship " and respect between Galoup and the commandant...easy play...then you have theentry of the " ephebe " Sentain " remember the twilight ( actually night ) between him and Subor when he speaks of his youth...the commandant says then to him beautiful child ( or something like this )
        After that the jalousie of Galoup grown...he rebels...and send his rival to death....
        A woman * filming witch elaborate the beautiful ( ! ) men bodys...
        I had prefer to be in a women regiment...

        * ambivalent as the story but the two actually match. ( the latent homosexuality and Mrs.Claire mannly body lust....)

        I hope I did.
