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 . 606 $aWar films$zUnited States$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMale friendship in motion pictures 606 $aMasculinity in motion pictures 615 0$aWar films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMale friendship in motion pictures. 615 0$aMasculinity in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/658 700 $aEberwein$b Robert T.$f1940-$0448997 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817880303321 996 $aArmed forces$93936993 997 $aUNINA
