- Abstract:
- This article discusses homoeroticism in the movies Troy and Alexander. It argues that Troy is a more homoerotic movie, but that Alexander was attacked more for this, because where Alexander strongly implies homosexual acts on screen and hints at them in dialogue, Troy removes explicit homoeroticism from its diegesis, but sublimates it into its visual language. The article dates to 2006 - notes date to 2020.
