Freedom to rebel, pursuit of true love or utilitarian compromise, surrender to reality

Clive is really my sniper, with brown curly hair, handsome silhouette, pure eyes, sometimes melancholy, and full of bookish air. I liked him very much in "Notting Hill". I didn't expect that there was a scumbag in it, and I was afraid that the secular exclusion would abandon homosexuals. The first half of the movie is so beautiful, chatting in the old school building, rafting on the river, restrained and enthusiastic emotions surging in the eyes of the two people. Unexpectedly, this trend followed. At that time, the United Kingdom believed that homosexuality was a crime, a licentiousness, and was not tolerated by society. In severe cases, it was sentenced to death. In the middle, I was afraid to see Maurice being mutilated by a psychiatrist, but fortunately, this film is not about the cruel and dark reality. The cricket match between Maurice and Alec was so good, Clive seemed redundant. The people who were forced by Alec to show their sincerity later were also worried. Fortunately, the last two people guarded this rare friendship, and their souls have a reliable home. The scumbag Clive is only worthy of staring out of the window absentmindedly in the room, poor Annie is married, what is the use of being handsome. But later I found out that Clive may not be enlightened, thinking about falling in love with the spirit of true love, and marrying a beautiful girl, what a tragedy. He himself may not know what to do with this relationship, and he does not have the courage to face the criticism of the world, and he is unwilling to give up the wealth and reputation he has. It is also worth noting true love.

Maurice quotes

  • Alec Scudder: Tomorrow's Thursday. Friday's packing. Saturday's Southampton, so it's goodbye, Old England.

    Maurice Hall: You mean that you and I shan't meet again after now?

    Alec Scudder: That's right, you've got it quite correct.

    Maurice Hall: Stay with me.

    Alec Scudder: Stay? Miss my boat? You daft? Of all the bloody rubbish. Order me about again, you would.

    Maurice Hall: It's a chance in a thousand we met. You know it. Why don't you stay?

    Alec Scudder: Stay? With you? How? And where? With your Ma? Oh yeah. What would she say if she saw me? All rough and ugly the way I am. My people wouldn't take to you one bit. I don't blame them, either. And how would you run your job, I'd like to know?

    Maurice Hall: I shall chuck it.

    Alec Scudder: Your job in the City? What gives you money and position? You talk like a man who's never had to earn his living.

    Maurice Hall: You can do anything. Once you know what it is. We can live without money, without people. We can live without position. We're not fools. We're both strong. There'd be some place we could go.

    Alec Scudder: Wouldn't work, Maurice. Be the ruin of

    [pauses; sits down]

    Alec Scudder: us both. Can't you see?

  • Alec Scudder: Now, we shan't never be parted. It's finished.
