If the young men who sodomized this kid had been caught, how would they have been dealt with?
Is there some unknown gene in this young man, that will eventually turn him into a gay adult? Or was it just done on a whim of anger? Who put the idea in to his head? Was it just a natural tendency that had grown in him from birth?

First of all, is this a true story or fiction? Secondly, who is the "young man" specifically? Amir? Sohrab? Assef? Hassan?

This film involves many subjects, some of them universal, such as
friendship, loyalty and courage in the face of adversity, and some
others of a domestic nature but which should be of interest for the
whole world, such as the horrible living conditions in Afghanistan
and a portion of their historic unfolding.

Notwithstanding such interesting themes, after you watched the movie
the subject which interested you the most is, well, sodomy. Forced
sodomy, to be precise.

A shrink would make gold out of this. Gold!

Not quite what interested me. The loyalty of his friend to return was what touched my heart.
Other topics in this forum, had questioned the genetics involved in homosexuality, so i was wondering about this particular scene. I think it is based on a true story.
And your view? Just a horrible act of torture, or a trend that continues?
Do you think he would have been punshed, and how?

Search for the UNICEF materials on rape as a weapon of war.

It will give you an interesting though grim view regarding the
use of rape in generalized confrontational situations. As for the
meaning of rape on individual situations, the internet as well as
the libraries are rich on psychiatric studies on the subject.

I did my some of my university's social work, many years ago, in
the state's attorney general office, division for rape victims.
Emotionally speaking, there is no sufficient punishment for the
damage caused. As with any other criminal act, though, it is
more productive to think about what we are doing as a society
to generate such monstrosity.

...for the purpose of figuring out how to prevent it. I'm with you on this.
