In Das Boot, there seemed to be a few sub-plots running throughout the film. One I found interesting is the war corespondent's character. He seemed to be gay and trying to deal with his homosexuality. In the scene where he is taking pictures of the shirtless men loading torpedos- he seems to get a bit carried away and then a greasy rag is thrown into face. In an the opening of the movie in the "whorehouse", there is the scene where the correspondent is in the bathroom with two other men and he has this sick look on his face- as if he had sex with the man in the toilet stall. What do you guys think?
