Broke my heart entirely.

the different ways people react to and about the movie maurice (1987) says a lot about someone…… to me it’s truly the real test of media literacy. like what do you mean you hate clive or you think clive is a villain or traitor or prefer maurice ending up with clive instead of alec. like what do you mean. what do you mean you view clive as the villain in the story when truly there’s no villain except the criminalization of homosexuality and the alienation towards queer people in this time period. what do you mean you don’t view clive’s character as a tragedy and a realistic commentary on a gay man of the higher class in early 20th century england who chooses to force himself deeper into the closer to protect his name, image and career….. what do you mean you see him as a selfish villain who cares only about himself when to him, he didn’t understand or accept himself and his sexuality and decided to give up his love for maurice to protect himself (and to him, maurice) when maurice chose to accept himself and his sexuality instead. what do you mean you think clive is better for maurice instead of alec who fought and chased maurice due to his love for him, unlike clive. what do you mean

The way at the end of the movie I was crying FOR Clive because his story was such a tragedy and he'll never truly find his happiness. I also find the shutting off of the windows and staring out from the last one scene signifies how he's going deeper into the closet and staring back at his 'freedom'. 💔
