Benediction
Movie • 2021
ReportSynopsis
A biopic about soldier and poet Siegfried Sassoon (1886-1967), who was decorated for bravery on the Western Front, and is best remembered for his angry and compassionate poems about the First World War, which brought him public and critical acclaim. Avoiding the sentimentality and jingoism of many war poets, Sassoon wrote of the horror and brutality of trench warfare and contemptuously satirised generals, politicians, and churchmen for their incompetence and blind support of the war.

Not slurs necessarily, but disdain toward homosexuals is expressed. A medical officer calls them "creatures" and implies they're better off killing themselves ("I'd always assumed such creatures went into the library with their service revolvers and did the decent thing.").

Wilfred Owen is mentioned to have died just before the end of the war but his sexuality isn’t really mentioned and it has nothing to do with his death
