  Bent (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Max (played by Clive Owen in the film), a promiscuous gay man in 1930s Berlin, is at odds with his wealthy family because of his homosexuality.
Bent is a reminder that homosexuality always runs through all classes of society and that it would be incorrect to exclusively assign the role of victims to the homosexuals of that time.
The play was the first time that popular culture had acknowledged the fact that the gay men were victims of the Holocaust, and helped pave the way for more historical research and documentaries to be released about the fate of homosexuals under Nazi Germany.

 PhilipGlass.com: Films: Bent
Adds Sherman, "The play caught on to something that was happening at that time and it said things that were not being said to a wide audience in mainstream theatre." To date Bent has been performed in over thirty five countries.
In writing the play, Sherman used the interval as a deliberate device to separate the two halves of the story and he was aware that the film audience, denied an interval, must see the two halves flow into each other seamlessly.
"The second half of the play, where the two men are incarcerated in a camp, is deliberately claustrophobic, but the screen version must open up so that the characters are not dwarfed by their unsympathetic surroundings." he explains.

 Lesson 6: Multiple-Space Eyes
So white plays at the triangle stone in Diagram 6-5, and the entire fl group is under atari, which means that fl will have to play at A – resulting in Diagram 6-6, which is a dead two-space eye.
However, white is able to play at the marked stones as shown in Diagram 6-11 and put fl in atari, so fl must play at A to capture the three white stones.
Now fl is short of liberties: if he plays at A, then white can take the fl stones off the board with B. However, fl cannot play at B either, as he will be dead with a bent four with both vital points occupied by white.

 Sensei's Library: Bent four in the corner is dead
This page discusses the fact that under Japanese rules, a group which is surrounded by a live enemy group and whose eyeshape can be reduced to bent four in the corner is dead.
The rule is now that in the determination of life and death at the end of the game, after play has stopped, the only ko-threat for a ko is a pass for that ko.
Under Chinese rules or under rulesets where life and death questions may be settled by actual play rather than decided by virtual play, the ko should be played.

 Review: Bent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Bent is based on the 1979 stage play of the same name.
Many of the things that can work in a play, when the live nature of the production allows an intimate rapport to develop between the actors and the audience, fail on the big screen.
Bent is obviously an important story for him; it's just that he and writer Martin Sherman made too many bad choices in adapting the play.

The film version is adapted by the playwright, Martin Sherman, and closely follows his play's story of two gay concentration camp victims who are sent to Dachau and who fall in love, using their relationship as an emotional crutch in their efforts to rebuff the horror of the Holocaust.
While Bent received an NC-17 rating for depicting Berlin's decadent, anything-goes-for-a-price nightlife, MGM opted not to edit out the tone-setting prelude and pushed to preserve the film's integrity despite a rating that is itself a kind of death for any film that bears it.
Bent's moves slowly at points but it is to good use as it is an interval to think.
