Clive is by no means a representative of Plato’s love. He uses spiritual love to explain the cautious calmness and a large amount of incomprehensible theoretical discussions when falling in love. He also uses spiritual love as the final bargaining chip against mauric and alec.肉体结合感到不齿和恶心，他甚至想把眼前这个正在讲述这段荒谬爱情的“怪物”揍扁再远远逃离，最后压制这股冲动的竟是自己身为上流社会、政治人物的修养和自己The vague concept of physical union due to asexual marriage. It’s hard to imagine why a clive who admired Greek culture and calm wisdom would change so decisively. It is helpless to understand that the traditions of the upper class and the ancestral industry are his deep-rooted concepts, and the so-called resistance and love are nothing but The frivolous youthful wisp of blue smoke, the so-called spiritual love, is just an excuse for him to escape, "abandon the dark and cast the light" joke. He just left behind the maurice who was facing his humanity and advancing bravely and longing for happiness. The light kiss on the back of Maurice's hand did not bring him back to the past and the power of love. As he said, he might not forget the past. , But really didn't want to mention it again, even the familiar enthusiasm and joy he felt from anne, and it took hard memories to vaguely remember who the last source of this kind of feeling was. Maurice’s last wonderful speech truly showed what clive did, "You care for me a little bit, I do think," he admitted, "but I can't hang all my life on a little bit. You don' t. You hang yours on Anne. You don't worry whether your relation with her is platonic or not, you only know it's big enough to hang a life on. I can't hang mine on to the five minutes you spare me from her and politics. You'
Of course, for clive, we cannot say that giving up the 4 generations of family business is the only right way to give up the responsibility of inheriting the honor and status of the ancestors. Clive is not a cruel devil, and even he can be on the road of secular morality. It is unfair to walk with confidence, condemning and hurting him. For him from that hopeful and free enlightenment to such a classic epitome of cruel reality, it should be more helpless and sad, as he saw in a trance. His old Cambridge man, bathed in sunlight, waved his hand to bring out the light and sound of the campus in May.
The description of alec in the novel is not too much, but the movie is less. But although the idealization of him in the novel is not retroactive, it is not thin. Forster not only expresses the ups and downs of homosexuality, but also expresses a realistic problem that runs through Chinese and foreign history. The problem of class is maurice clive alec. They are all bound to the concept of class. The novel does not explain the reason why clive suddenly changed his sexuality. But I am pretty sure that the speculation and setting in the movie is that clive who fears the upper class is afraid of losing what he has. Class interests lose their current class status, reputation and political future, and thus give up the middle class where love maurice is, hypocrisy, hiding and flattering, to make a living, smile to welcome others, and to pretend to maintain identity, and alec he longs to get rid of the bullied servant. To develop his own business prospects, he must even move from the lower class to the middle class in order to gain the respect and identity he has always longed for. Just as he said, "I come from a respected business family, although I was unfortunately raised vulgarly. This doesn’t mean that you can treat me like a dog.” Such a personality prompts everyone to think that he is self-confident, which prompts him to stand proudly when his master, clive, makes his grand appearance. "For any gentleman", for these three people, to stick to the same-sex love, you need to give up and sacrifice. Objectively speaking, the sacrifice of clive as the upper class is greater because his vested interests are more rational and realistic. It is said that Clive’s decision should not be condemned too much, but at the same time it also reflects from the perspective of class that it is impossible for Clive and Maurice to reach the realm of love of physical and spiritual unity, or even the realm of spiritual unity he advertised. Except for them. In addition to their own personalities, there are class restrictions that cannot be ignored. The same class restrictions exist between Maurice and Alec. They have misunderstood each other because of the differences in class, and because of true love, they all resolved Maurice’s dislike of the ugly side of the middle class. Desire to get rid ofThe desire to pursue happiness, coupled with alec's anti-identity pride and the yearning and pursuit of respect and being respected, make their combination superior to class. Maurice cherishes alec, such an honest, kind and passionate lover, who decided to give up his job. Living happily with his identity and lover, outside of the wealth status class, he said that he dared to see anyone face anything and follow alec to bear the hardships of life and challenge all the forces that oppose them. The yearning for happiness and love defeated alec's class. The pursuit of identity and identity turned into a vision and courage for the future. I gave up a so-called decent and wealthy future that is contrary to love. I am fearless, fearless, regretless and unrepentant with Maurice. Class bondage releases human nature. It is maurice and alec who are obsessed with the pursuit of class and bondage. The clive who completely obeys class and bondage finally parted ways with them. Maurice and alec are finally unified in thousands of ways. It is because of this that Forster himself questioned the possibility of this ending. Because sex is too perfect homosexuality and facing class restrictions, but a happy union and a happy life, he said, "This novel is dedicated to a better Great Britain." A Great Britain that accepts homosexuality and has no class restrictions.It is maurice and alec who have the courage to fight against class restraints and release humanity's persistent pursuit. The clive who completely obeys class and restraints finally parted ways with them. Maurice and alec are finally unified in thousands of times. It is because of this that Forster himself will question this ending.

The coverage of the film is ultimately less than the original book, including the character, psychology and change of the three characters. Clive seems to be less indifferent and more nostalgic, but Maurice is not hurt enough, which deletes his impatience and heart for sensuality. His evil thoughts seem to be more decent and pitiful, but they bleach the distortion and destruction of a mortal body by reality. Similarly, it also includes the reality and complexity of the social background. The film weakens the concept of class, omits the collision of different classes, and obscures the typical speech and behavior of different classes, such as the vagueness that Maurice received in the house of clive. Cold and contempt. For example, the so-called high-level class, while enjoying alec's blood and sweat services, sits unrelentingly and cold-bloodedly criticizing the ugly face of his soul defects. For example, after alec missed his appointment at the Maurice Boathouse and refused to reply, he longed to be respected, longed for and A strong expression and condemnation of a gentleman and a lover being equal. The film also downplays alec's attitude towards human freedom and release. Only from his opening the window in the middle of the night and his courtship actions in London show his calmness and boldness in human nature, but alec himself truly said: "This is human nature. You can't ask me to go against humanity." This is a very powerful statement. Although it is hidden in a messy and indignant letter, it is used to explain alec's desire for women, but at a deep level, this is the courage of the two. And an important source of firmness. Alec is an unreal existence. In such an imprisoned era and such a humble position, it is actually such an honest, kind, brave and proud heart. It is such a shocking understanding and confession of "human nature". As for making it impossible to compile his past, speculating on his growth, the so-called untraceability, such a person is the existence of psychological compensation as the author, only such an unreal and impossible person can complete a homosexual relationship in that era. , The happy ending that exaggerates class love affair, slaps clive and the forces he represents.
