That night, Evelyn can’t sleep. She follows a moth to the basement. Behind the fuse box, she finds a loose brick. Behind the brick, a brass key.
Evelyn is horrified. Evelyn is transfixed.
The Shinsengumi is depicted as a hyper-masculine, homosocial environment. The strict "codes" of conduct demand absolute loyalty to the group and the suppression of individual interests. Oshima exposes the fragility of this structure. The entrance of Kano exposes the thin line between homosocial bonding (brotherhood in arms) and homosexual desire.
ROGER You’re sick. You need help.
EVELYN That’s the taboo. There is no game. This is just marriage.
