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.clark
Follow Ups:
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...clark
Donīt worry, I already been accused of being homosexual last week, and they promised me the old biblical chatiment for sodomie....
So, but letīs 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.

...Beau Travail establishes a milieu where bunk-buddies are more unlikely than aboard ship. Or, not...clark
