Just finished Maurice. I think I've found my favorite movie. Saw the edits and didn't even know Alec existed. I "knew" it had a sad ending so I was readying myself for it while watching. I even regretted watching it half way through because I was getting attached to characters I "knew" would never be happy. I was so shocked when Alec came into Maurice's room. As soon as he was introduced, I was rooting for him to get closee to Maurice. I knew he was something important to be mentioned so many times. But I wasn't sure then. When they finally got together I felt so happy! Maurice definitely deserves better. Ever since Alec came in, I knew that's what Maurice deserves. He deff treats Maurice better too. In glad i didn't have my heart broken by this movie. But of course, I understand Clive. I loved Maurice's relatationship with him but a thought that crosses my mid at the first part of the movie is that Maurice is always the one initiating stuff, apart from the first cofession, of course, which made it weird. Definitely a case of internalized homophobia. I just know he still loves Maurice deep inside him — He just can't accept it. He's scared, which I understand and love about his character, but Alec came in as someone braver. Which was what Maurice needed. Should I buy the book??
Anyway. 10/10. Would reccomended. My top one movie now.
