      Maurice: Infatuation with Platonic Love

      Although the movie is named after Maurice, and Maurice is also a well-deserved male lead, I want to talk about Clive first.

      I have to say that Hugh Grant's first half of this film is shocking. His facial contours are clean and delicate, and his facial features are combined with firmness and softness, especially the pair of drooping eyes. Lazy, elegant, seductive, I even want to use such a word to describe him, "stunner".
      So when he said "I Love You" to Maurice...

      You leave me and I'll spend the rest of my life half asleep

      I was recommended to watch this movie by chance. I didn’t have the surging passion that I had when I watched BBM before. I was really excited after watching it on BBM haha~
      The style of the movie is very clean and very British, with scenes that British people often have, living room, bedroom , dinner, hunting, very British elements. Also impressive is the soundtrack, which can set off the plot of the movie, such as the melody of C and M playing the piano when they were in college. In the...

      One in a thousand chance!

      Saw the movie Maurice. The Chinese name is "Morris's Lover", it would be nice if you don't change it casually. After watching the movie, I realized that it was based on E.M. Foster's novel Maurice. I saw the movie "A Room with a View", which was adapted from his novel a long time ago, and the plot has been forgotten. I read the introduction of the novel "The Longest Journey" today, and I want to read it a little bit. When will I buy it? The kind of stories that sacrificed their lives for the...

      late at night

      Although the protagonist of Morris's soul may be Hugh Grant, my favorite is the Alec line of part2, not only because of this line HE, but also because of the teenager waiting for Morris in the houseboat. I really liked this scene so much, the person walking out of the flowers, wearing an overly loose coat, with a messy curly hair, with mud on the soles of his shoes, there was a look on his face whether it was his stupidity or his stubbornness. But he is such a small person, and he is also...

      How to achieve aesthetically meaningful sex

      Based on the exploration of the nature of "love", I am driven to watch various love-related movies, TV series, and romance novels. In addition to understanding the love between men and women, I also have a strong curiosity about the love between men and women. I even think that Through them, they can understand the essence of love (there may be a reproductive instinct between the opposite sex). Of course, what I mean by "love" is more of a spiritual emotion.

      After reading "Morris...

      He gave you his love and his body to him. Do not stay. They are lovers, and this title is far from being a substitute for friends, classmates, and friends. He said he was going to leave, but he failed to keep him. He shrunk in the chair, sobbing, like a little girl who was wronged. Young they are really attractive. Grant clear powder beauty ah. In the movie, he looks pretty female. Thinking of Tom in Interview with Vampires, youth is the...

      Beards and windows, transformations and hints, there is the helplessness of that era, but also the beauty of finding a lover after all the hardships. Clive made a confession but left first. Hall used the window to get forgiveness for escape, but he didn't know that he was betrayed later. Fortunately, Hall opened the window and finally someone came in for him. He who shaved his beard never seemed to be as young and daring as before, but Clive, who grew a beard, could only hide in the window....

      It's a good classic film. The topics discussed are many but not complicated. After watching this film and watching many similar films, I feel grandstanding. The ending is quite ambiguous and has Forster's...

    Evaluation action

    The film describes the delicate emotional world between the three men, successfully explored the emotions between the same sex, and is particularly considerate of the characters' delicate psychology, praising the flawless same-sex love. The elegant aesthetic temperament and meticulous classical colors are a major feature of the film. What is worth mentioning is the photography of the film. The color is bright, like the picture of the...
