Of course you do! They might be brave enough to say the word "gay" in the film itself. They just might.

I mean this is fine I guess. Pretty cheesy in parts. It's this year's A Beautiful Mind - an overpolished award-baity movie that oversimplifies a complex story into a palatable crowd-pleaser. I know there's a much darker, messier movie to be made of this story and you wonder what someone like Aronofsky or Fincher would have done with it.

I don't think that usage of "gay" was common until well after the war; but yes, "you like men" is the most graphic the film gets.
