clive in troubled city

Hugh's movies have always been my favorites. But "Morris' Lover" is the favorite of those favorites.
Is it because of Hugh's beauty? Maybe.

The first time I knew about the film "Morris' Lover" was because of a poster showing the distant and dim backs of two men on horseback. Was not impressed. All I know is that this is Hugh's movie.

The second time I saw it was in a feature article by Hugh, which was accompanied by a still photo. I remember that there was a sentence under the photo: Clive sitting in a troubled city.

Xiu in the photo is really beautiful. He is sitting on the floor, as if looking for something. His posture is natural, elegant and elegant. He can't help but marvel. He's even better looking. After all, this is the Hugh Grant of his youth.
However, after searching for this movie for several years, I couldn't find it until the first half of this year.

This really is the most special of Hugh's movies.

The only time in his acting career he played a gay man as a straight man earned him acting accolades as a non-professional actor. And therefore is considered to be "in the kingdom of light and shadow, the screen niche with the most masculine and feminine beauty".

Unlike Hugh's later yuppie characters who are "hard to say 'love' to death", in this film, in the shadow of the beautiful buildings of Cambridge University City, when Hugh's Clive can't wait to use his passion When the extremely blue eyes stared at his college classmate Morris and blurted out: "I love you", I was shocked. It turns out that a man's confession to a man can be so inspiring.

I couldn't help but smile when Hugh said his first kiss on screen was to Wilby, who played Morris, at least it didn't make me jealous, just hesitant, who was JW's first kiss on screen? (Zhongpaifei: Are you afraid that Hugh will suffer?)

The ending of the story is like many of the most sincere and pure first loves cannot be fulfilled. Clay and Murray have differences in the orientation of social moral values. One should be full of passion. But there must be temperate love, and the other would rather have nothing than a little.

It really doesn't matter right or wrong. When those who still love each other can't reach a consensus in their feelings, parting is inevitable. One was in agony to faint because of his decision, and the other wept bitterly for his own inextricability.

Clay left his friend forever in the Cambridge sunshine. Murray found a new companion with his dream that two people could challenge the world.

Thanks to Hugh and JW for their beautiful performances, I have been immersed in this great love that is not socially recognized for a long time, and I am infinitely regretful that Murray finally betrayed Clay spiritually.

Can two people who love each other really not just be good friends?

Sitting in the city of sorrow, Clive
was once passionate and naughty, and his blue eyes filled with love are now full of loss and melancholy. How many people can understand his mind?

    The utopia of ancient Greece has been turned into a castle in the air, and only ruins are left. We meet each other in the most beautiful youth, but you and I, who are in a class gap, meet each other in weakness and accidents. The common point is the beard, but they were born on different people. Inside and outside the window, what you see is me when I was in my prime, and what I think of is the me who got wet in the rain.

    I watched this Maurice, known as one of the three great films in the history of co-movie, on New Year's Eve. I was happy that Maurice found true love, but after thinking about it, I was disappointed by the love that Cliff forbeared and buried in the bottom of my heart. Crying hard. @2017-01-28 02:28:29
