Brave to say I love you, brave to give up on you

If you hold your hand high and let me go, I will spend the rest of my life half-awake.

Hand in hand moment (forgive my screenshots are too scum)

In Cambridge, the high-spirited Clive fell in love with the young and frivolous Maurice. Clive loved leeway, Maurice loved a little recklessly, but it didn't matter, no matter what, they loved after all.

Clive asks Morris if he has read the Symposium (about same-sex love), Clive and Morris play the piano together, and Clive makes love to Morris.

Clive: "You've read those books, don't you understand?" Morris: "Understand what?" Clive: "Understand I love you" Morris: "Bullshit"

Morris' next reply was: Nonsense

So, after shy and reckless rejection of Clive, Morris realized the love hidden in his heart. He crawled into Clive's room at night, told him how he really felt, hugged and kissed Clive.

Morris confesses to Clive

In the end, when Clive gave up this love, Alec also climbed in through the window and confessed to Morris just like Morris did at the beginning.

After a friend is sentenced for being gay, Clive loses the courage to continue to love, and he lets go of the relationship while encouraging Morris to love a woman too. Morris was stunned. Now, Morris will spend the rest of his life in fragility, loneliness and self-doubt. He tried his best to seek medical treatment, to expose his inner past, and only to ask God to rescue him and let him from this place. Escape from the damn curse.

God gave him another way to escape, let him escape the pain instead of the curse he thought, and God gave him Alec, the young man who loved him as an equal, and finally gave up his future for him.

Lao She once said: To love or not to love, the poor have to decide on money, and the kind of love is only born in the rich family. (From the part of Xiangzi's farewell to Xiaofuzi in "Camel Xiangzi", I don't know if I remember correctly.)

Alec's strength argument, as long as you want to be brave to love, the poor and the rich are the same. The rich can give more when they love, and the poor can give more for what they love. At least that's how it was in Morris. Clive invites Morris to stay in the country from time to time. He can provide wine and entertainment servants. Morris only needs to bring himself, but only his own time and love can no longer be shared with Morris. .

Alec has no money or knowledge, and his brain is not smart enough. In order to continue to see Morris, he has to sneak up to London for one night (and also turned his courtship into coercion), and when he left the hotel room, he said no nostalgia. Love you, but asked if Morris paid the bill, worried if the hotel staff would stop him. It seems that all he can give Morris is love, and this love is not strong enough, and it is not good enough.

But he was brave enough to love.

I thought, love, this wonderful thing, has nothing to do with air, nothing to do with bread. It only has to do with each other, and whether we are willing to love, whether we are willing to love bravely, the so-called air, the so-called bread, only asks how long we can love. However, love has not yet begun, so why do you think so much?

Maybe about love, everyone has different answers, and each answer is not wrong, as long as the people who love and be loved can be happy in love in the end.

When you meet the person who makes your heart beat faster, just love first. It’s okay to be sad, it’s okay to be hurt, because such a person will always meet another brave person to love himself, just like Alec fell in love with him To Morris, to love myself bravely the way I once loved.

Alec and Maurice at the London Hotel

The wounds I have suffered in the past are just to tell myself that I have really loved without hesitation, and it doesn't matter if the love is separated without any regrets! After all, so brave to love, no regrets.

morris and clive

Clive: Do you realize.

Morris: I?

Clive: I would have gone through the half-awake, if you'd had the decency to leave me alone.

However, for the rest of your life, you must bravely fall in love with the person who loves yourself bravely, walk hand in hand with him in the sun, embrace and chat and laugh in the moonlight with him, and walk with him to the end of death.

Since, Morris has loved Clive, since Clive has given up this love. Then Morris will raise his hand and let Clive go. For the rest of his life, Morris will be Alec for the rest of his life.

Well, it's settled,

You said goodbye, I said goodbye, together we don't disturb each other for the rest of our lives, let each other go,

You said I love you, I said me too, together is a lifetime together.

Now, pull a tick now!

bid farewell

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.
