I don't know it was that Peter Jackson couldn't have displayed the master/servant relationship or that he know most people who haven't already read the books not having servants and having very little mastery would not be able to understand an accurately depicted one. I think though in that regard he depicted plain male friendship very well, the gay jokes I think were a result almost more of the appearance of the actors than the relationship of the characters. Elijah Woods looks a little effeminate and if he goes for the build of the chubbier Sam well that's a private thing I guess.
As for morbidity all friendships between soldiers (which they were whether they wanted to be or no) are morbid "see ya if you make it through the day."
