Men sure were more affectionate in movies in the 1920s and 30s. Can you imagine soldiers in
Jarhead or
Flags of Our Fathers or
Stop-Loss lip-locking?
In preparation for the next episode of the
Best Picture From The Outside In series (next eppy coming your way on Wednesday) I watched
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) today. It's now the third consecutive Best Picture winner (
Wings, Broadway Melody before it) with plentiful same sex affection and kissing. How very curious... and also: my how times have changed.
