An Overtone?
Does anyone else sense an overtone of homosexuality from Schanberg, the foreign correspondent?

shareNo!
Its that man again!!
According to the director commentary, he was -trying- to show the 'deepest possible love' between the two men... not homoerotic more like 'brotherly love'.
I haven't seen it in a looong time, but I think there are some 'fond looks' between Syd and Pran that are a bit over the top. But remember this was the era of MASH and sensitive new age guys. :D
Many thanks for your reply. One previous reply tried to lead me to believe the over-the-top "fond" looks were all in my imagination. The reply did make me wonder a bit. But, I've been a movie buff & student of acting, directing (plus film editing) toooo long to believe I'd simply imagined this. Brotherly love should have been shown through other actions & a bit of dialogue, I feel. Fortunately that New Age crapola seems to have either faded or gone underground. I liked the cover of "Rolling Stone" with Pope Francis on it. He is making our Church more inclusive & has stated verbatim "Do not judge them." Well, you can surmise what the subject was about which the reporters had asked him. IT'S ABOUT TIME. My husband & I have always felt that everyone who wanted the benefits of being a Catholic Christian should have them. Yes, we were calling ourselves Catholic Christians 1600 years ago due to the many crazy heresies which began almost immediately in the first & second centuries.
Sorry I got off-track. Anyway, I viewed Brokeback Mountain again a few days ago. Now THAT was a really well done film. Both enjoyable & heartbreaking. The director of The Killing Fields just didn't know enough in those days how men express brotherly love.
