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 end, after C learned that M fell in love with another person, the sound of the piano slowly flowing out confirmed his unspeakable feeling of loss at that time.
After watching this play, I didn't cry, only very calm emotions, and I felt very tangled in my heart. In fact, this outcome is not unexpected at all. Everything is determined by the society at that time. Of course, we can push all the responsibility to society, public opinion or all factors other than ourselves, which is a wise move in the eyes of many people. However, it has become a difficult thing for a person to follow his own heart. Maybe it is easier to go against his own heart and nature. Otherwise, C wouldn't get married, but his respect for his wife was too obvious, which revealed his inner suffering. Why did the person who said love at the beginning didn't persist to the end? Is it because he loved earlier, he would have to withdraw earlier, no matter how painful or tormented, it only exists in his heart, and others will never understand.
It's hard to live your life according to your own heart, it's the same for everyone.
If I really don't have you, I don't know what the rest of my life will look like. Is it really half-awake?

    First, I was amazed by the beauty of Hugh Grant, then moved by the innocence of Rupert Graves, and finally completely convinced by the aristocratic temperament flowing in James Wilby. British gentleman + country scenery + same-sex theme, can there be a better movie than this?

    RupertGraves is the master who is so touched

Maurice quotes

  • Alec Scudder: You shouldn't treat me like a dog! You were just amusing yourself. I've never come like that to a gentleman before. You said 'Call me Maurice' but you never even wrote to me. You made a fool of me and I can make you sorry for that!

  • Alec Scudder: Stop with me. Sleep the night with me.

    Maurice Hall: I can't. I've got an engagement. Full business dinner. It's my job. Meet me another evening instead.

    Alec Scudder: I can't come to London again. My father and Mr. Borenius will be passing remarks.

    Maurice Hall: What does it matter if they do?

    Alec Scudder: What does your engagement matter?
