Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Bent is a 1997 film based on the 1979 play of the same name. It stars Clive Owen and Lothaire Bluteau in the lead roles, as well as a cameo appearance by Sir Ian McKellen.In this film, set in Berlin during the 1930s, Max (Owen) is a promiscuous customer of a popular cabaret. But after the Night of the Long Knives, he finds himself on the inside of a concentration camp. He convinced the guards that he was Jewish, rather than gay, under the belief that Jews would be treated better. But after coming into contact with the openly gay inmate Horst (Bluteau), Max has to decide whether it's more important to do whatever it takes to survive, or risk everything to show he is proud of who he is.

Bury Your Gays: Given the story's setting, it makes sense. Horst is shot by the guards, and then Max kills himself afterward.

Anguished Declaration of Love: While Horst is nearing a complete mental breakdown from their rock duties, he confesses to Max that he loves him. Much to Max's frustration, as Max refuses to risk giving the guards any reason to make their lives more hellish.

All Gays Are Promiscuous: Averted. Max seems to be quite loose in the beginning of the movie, but his lover was very upset about him seeing other people. Horst, too, was shocked at what Max was willing to do with the guards to get some extra medicine.
