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 intricacy 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 triangles, 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 .War filmsUnited StatesHistory and criticismMale friendship in motion picturesMasculinity in motion picturesWar filmsHistory and criticism.Male friendship in motion pictures.Masculinity in motion pictures.791.43/658Eberwein Robert T.1940-448997MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910958542403321Armed forces4331299UNINA01434oam 2200445zu 450 991013877720332120241212215802.097814244568191424456819(CKB)2400000000002636(SSID)ssj0000452221(PQKBManifestationID)12168009(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000452221(PQKBWorkID)10468343(PQKB)11610499(NjHacI)992400000000002636(EXLCZ)99240000000000263620160829d2010 uy engur|||||||||||txtccr2010 International Conference on e-Education, e-Business, e-Management, and E-Learning[Place of publication not identified]IEEE20101 online resource illustrationsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph9781424456802 1424456800 Business enterprisesData processingCongressesManagement information systemsCongressesBusiness enterprisesData processingManagement information systems658IEEE StaffPQKBPROCEEDING99101387772033212010 International Conference on e-Education, e-Business, e-Management, and E-Learning2541455UNINA
