Sufjan Stevens - Mystery Of Love

[@sel1570]

it hurts me so much how clive, for fear, had to hide his feelings and reject maurice. they could have had such a happy time

[@rumblefish9]

Even in the end, Clive did still love him.

[@marielaso9287]

In the book Clive is not more in love with Maurice, and he even try to turn him straight because he thinks being gay is a phase. Is so sad... and toxic, but sad

[@rumblefish9]

@@marielaso9287 The book itself is semi-autobiographical about Forster's first love. In truth, they drifted apart slowly for years and years and Forster didn't know how to write it so he wrote Clive convincing himself that it was a phase. But Clive's reasonings for turning straight in the book are shallow and they make no sense at all. He doesn't even want to be naked in front of his own wife. The clue to why I think he still loved Maurice is this passage: To the end of his life Clive was not sure of the exact moment of departure, and with the approach of old age he grew uncertain whether the moment had yet occurred. The Blue Room would glimmer, ferns undulate. Out of some external Cambridge his friend began beckoning to him, clothed in the sun, and shaking out the scents and sounds of the May term." The Blue Room and among the ferns were places that Clive had held dear to his heart--places he associated with Maurice. As fr being "toxic", being gay was illegal and people at that time often chose the same life Clive did. E.M. Forster may not have married but he was very much in the closet (only his close friends knew). It's easy for us to label them "toxic" or "cowards" but it was a matter of survival. This was some 10+ years after Oscar Wilde's trial and imprisonment--something he never recovered from. The risks and stakes were greater. This is why I think people ought to be kinder to people like Clive. They didn't have the same freedoms or opportunities to live their lives as they wanted like we do now.

“And now we shall never be parted, never. It’s finished” One is Scudders lines that has stayed with me for years. I adore this film.

[@MRMATTX2]

Same here, I was very young when I first saw that and it moved me to tears.

[@DC-vw7yf]

Thank you for that! I never fully understood that line because of the accent!

[@poorapueblo8405]

Rupert Graves was great in Maurice!

[@MRMATTX2]

I just finished reading the follow up novel, it's called "Alec." It was wonderful, continues right where the film ended.

[@mariasofianou]

Maurice is such an underrated movie, very progressive for 1987, narrating a pure and loving story...and call me by your name is ,in my opinion, one of the best movies of the last few years. Wonderful mix!! Well done!!

[@XavierRadić_NZL]

Written by E M Forster in 1913, but not published until 1971, posthumously, in the UK. 💜💜 Sad when people do not read and think movies evolve from no-one and nothing, read books!!

[@mariasofianou]

@@XavierRadić_NZL Since this is a video, i chose to comment on the cinematic adaptation of the book and that's why i mentioned the release date of the movie and not the book. If anything i think a lot of people that are not huge readers have read the book in recent years specifically because the movie made such a good impression. In that regard, if a good movie adaptation helps people read books that they wouldn't have before, that's a plus in my book. A good movie does not diminish the book , on the contrary, it compliments it!

[@kemekoist]

I don't know why but in Japan "Maurice", "Another Country" and "A Room With A View" were quite popular during the 80's through early 90's. Probably..those films kind of remind us of " Shojo manga" genre.

[@Todayyespresentno]

Foth are written by the same scriptwriter.

[@elmosy99]

I wish there could be more movies like Maurice. The fact that it's a full story not just about the romance but also finding and facing oneself, not just a sad fling two little gay boys had in summer and parted or one of em had to die at the end. It's quite frustrating how gay romance now is made for the aesthetic not like it's written to tell stories to real people who'd wish to see a full satisfying representation and a happy ending

[@satyre_1]

Well, this one isn't quite a happy ending, but DAMN if it isn't a good movie. I highly recommend "Portrait of a Lady on Fire".

[@spcearcher]

i feel so affected by the whole story and e.m. forster really knew my weaknesses

[@rumblefish9]

Part of the story was Forster's own life. Clive was modeled after his first love, H.O.M or Hugh Owen Meredith. Forster even dedicated "A Room With A View" to him. George Emerson is also modeled after H.O.M. Lucy Honeychurch's reluctance to fall in love with George mirrored that of Forster's own feeling for his first love. Much like Clive, H.O.M eventually married.

[@sauceisawesome2]

this might be just a fluke, but at 2:42 you can see Clive smiling as he gets married to Anne, but then stops smiling as he walks off the camera. I think he loved Maurice in the end and I would really have wanted them to stay together bc they’re so happy w each other 🥲

[@alexharyu2767]

ikr😭 the ending is just so sad.

[@rapoliente]

Clive was trying to convince himself that this was what he had to do (marry Ann). he was acting alongside other people and Maurice. It's so nice of you to realize that.

[@TeddyandBricke]

Sufjan Stevens and Maurice are such a lovely pairing ❤

[@greggdoty3076]

Am I the first to note the connection here--89-yo James Ivory won the Adapted Screenplay Oscar for CMBYN and 30 years earlier he had directed Maurice, which is an excellent adaptation of a novel by one of my favorite novelists, E.M. Forster.

This song touches my soul deeply. I know there is no love deep enough to match it. Love is just delayed pain. I’m having this played at my funeral.

Right about the time this song and movie came out I was in my freshman year of college and had just gotten my first heartbreak. PHEW. So grateful to have felt that during this time, love and feelings of it are rare. Embracing the pain was beautiful

Película maravillosa y comentar que cuando se estrenó hubo gente que se iba de la sala del cine.E.M Foster no quiso que publicarán Maurice hasta su muerte por temor a la sociedad.

[@conchiramos6781]

Thanks !!

[@alexsdb9712]

Exactamente. Forster escribió el libro durante la década de 1910, como en la época de la historia, pero debido a la sociedad, no quiso intentar publicarlo. Forster sólo mostró su primera versión a unos pocos amigos cercanos. se lo entregó a la universidad y pidió que se publicara sólo hasta su fallecimiento. Por eso el libro se publicó en 1971.

it has a happy ending in retrospective, it's a bit sad (more like bittersweet), but it is happy. you really should watch it, it's amazing

First I saw it I thought it had a happy ending. And I rewatched it for several times I find it heartbreaking. It’s bittersweet.

Yes, it does. Anyone who tells you otherwise has misunderstood the purpose of the story.

Why?

[@cookiemonkeyyy]

I didn't either, back when I watched it 6 years ago. But I rewatched it today and I've found a whole new appreciation for it.

[@galex5060]

Two of my favourite films connected through music. I saw "Maurice" as young gay man, when it first came out in 1987 and it never left me. I always weep at the end, both for Maurice and Alex, as well as for Clive, whose life choices are so sad. I then searched high and low for for the soundtrack - beautiful. It is so special that James Ivory is connected to both films. So happy he received an Oscar for "Call Me By My Name". He and Ismail Merchant who made "Maurice" (under Merchant Ivory productions) were lovers too but kept it very much under wraps. The novel by EM Forster is one I read quite frequently - so moving, as are all his works. I also found an epilogue to "Maurice" a few years ago and it helps complete the story. It is fascinating that by them going into nature to live, that they can survive as lovers. They have to escape the real world in order to survive.
