I risk everything, and gladly because one thing I dread losing is you. This sentence was said by Morris when Drum persuaded Morris to let go of their relationship and return to ordinary life. In this movie, I think two people did it, one Morris and one Alec. Morris and Drum's relationship began at Cambridge University in 1910. An unexpected visit brought them to acquaintance, and from that day on, they became good friends, playing the same music, eating the same apple, talking about family life, and like to play small things. After Durham showed his love to Morris, Morris threw himself into the relationship. He went on a trip with Drum at the risk of skipping classes and being expelled from school, and after learning about Viscount Risley, he still did not flinch, and still loved Drum. It is true, as Morris said, in this relationship, as long as he can be with Durham, he is willing to give everything, because for him, the time with Durham is the happiest day of Morris. , remember when he was joking with Drum in the apartment, remember when he was chatting with Drum on the grass, his smile was so real.
The relationship between Morris and Alek began at Penger Manor. When Morris was at his lowest, Alec appeared, allowing Morris to find emotional sustenance. But this relationship was not all smooth sailing. Morris thought that their relationship was a mistake and that Alek would blackmail him because of this, so he did not pay much attention to this relationship at first, and Alek also thought that Morris did not care about himself, Disappointed inside. In the end, Morris chose to stay with Alek on the day before Alek was ready to leave. And Alek finally gave up everything for Morris, gave up his new life, chose to return to the houseboat, and was with Morris, no longer apart.
In early 20th century England, homosexuality was not yet allowed by the church and the law, so in my opinion there wasn't much wrong with what Drum did, he just didn't want anyone to be hurt, just not giving up his family and own future. But I was even more shocked and moved by Maurice's behavior. He was selfish. For this love, he would rather bet everything on his own, regardless of his status, reputation, and to protect this relationship... He is also selfless Yes, for the person he loves, he would rather bet everything on his own and be with the person he loves. At the end of the film, Morris told Drum about him and Alek. It can be felt that Drum was still a little lost. He stood at the window, and the days of Cambridge University and Morris were still in front of him. Maybe as Drum told Morris years ago, if you leave me, I'll be half-awake for the rest of my life...
