| adam_text | In war films, the portrayal of deep friendships between men is commonplace.
Given the sexually anxious nature of the American imagination, such bonds are
often interpreted as carrying a homoerotic subtext.
In Armed Forces, Robert
Eberwein
argues that an expanded conception
of masculinity and sexuality is necessary in order to understand more fully the in¬
tricacy of these intense and emotional human relationships. Drawing on a range
of examples from silent films such as What Price Glory and Wings to sound era
works like The Deer Hunter, Platoon, Three Kings, and Pearl Harbor, he shows
how close readings of war films, particularly in relation to their cultural contexts,
demonstrate that depictions of heterosexual love, including those in romantic tri¬
angles, actually help to define and clarify the
nonsexual
nature of male love. The
book also explores the problematic aspects of masculinity and sexuality when
threatened by wounds, as in The Best Years of Our Lives, and considers the
complex and persistent analogy between weapons and the male body, as in Full
Metal Jacket and Saving Private Ryan.

Eberwein
is Distinguished Professor of English at Oakland University,
Rochester, Michigan, and the editor of The War Film (Rutgers University Press).
