Why is Maurice (1987) such a devastating movie? (So many spoilers ahead)

First, it's a historical film because it's based off a book that's over a hundred years old. It's based off of the authors life being scared to be in love with a man in the early 1910's. Written in 1913-14, it was only able to be published a year after the author died, in 1971.

The film was made with so much passion. And you can see it in the production and acting. Hugh Grant and James Wilby both do such an amazing job acting as though they have this beautiful, passionate love that goes on for years. Only until Clive (Hugh Grant) decides that it's not worth it to hide their love, so they should break up and marry women. You can see in Clives body language that when he and Maurice start talking again, he's still not quite over Maurice (I have no doubt that Clive was possibly bi, but I'm not here to speculate). And Maurice never quite gets over Clive, so he sends himself to conversion therapy. This just makes him and his platonic time with Clive absolutely miserable. And then when Clive, in a moment of weakness, makes Maurice kiss his hand, they both make eachother suffer. They know in that moment that they want a romantic embrace that had comforted them so many years ago, but if they were to let that happen, they'd lose everything for it. So they suffer in silence as their love turns into a bitter sweet feeling.

In the same scene that the kiss on the hand happens, you can see that Maurice is writing a tragic letter. My belief is that this is possibly a suicide note from his depression of being forced to repress his homosexuality. This could also be from his broken heart. Maurice never truly gets over his broken heart until Alec Scudder (Rupert Graves) comes in his room and they sleep together. Maurice knows this is a bad idea, and tries to cut him off. But, Alec is desperately in love with him. This leads him to attempting to blackmail Maurice, but they both end up together.

When Maurice tells Clive that he's no longer in therapy and that he's in love with Alec, Clive laughs. But later you can see he's hurt by this, angered almost.

I honestly thought that Alec was the wrong choice for Maurice and that Clive and him would've been much happier together. But Clive always was seeking a woman to marry, and that would've also been the wrong choice. There's no right, no wrong choice. It's all happy and sad and everything in between. It makes me feel so much passion and sadness.

I'm genuinely sorry for anyone who read that entire rant.

This chapter: Gon worries about a new distance between him and Killua. He asks about Killua's relationship with Marigold.

A short time later, a loud rap on the door broke the silence that had fallen between them.

“Oh good, you’re both here.” Lyra smiled as she peered into the chamber. “Gon, I’ve brought you a gift.” She entered, bearing a long metal platter laden with a large haunch of bloody meat. “Venison! I caught and skinned a deer. In fact, I hunted a couple—although this fortress is awful, the surrounding forest has abundant prey. I stored the rest until you want it, then I came as fast as I could.”

Gon aimed an alarmed grimace at Killua, who didn’t appear to notice. Read on
