Oh boy do I forgive you! (And I wrote the screenplay!) Thank you for making me laugh! Can you imagine the joy, to discover that something one wrote thirty-plus years ago, at a time when the homophobia which drives Clive into agony and duplicity (but from which Maurice escapes with the help of Alec) remained a real and present danger, is now so far behind us that a new generation can revel in delight at the freedoms won - maybe I dare vaingloriously to hope in part - by it? Hello, young lovers, wherever you are. I hope (unless you live in Uganda, Russia, Belarus, of course) your troubles are few. X Kit
My husband - who has joined me in exploration of this film/book under duress (ha) - agrees with you, he's given me his approval to poke fun at it so I am eternally happy, lol. ;-)
GIRL, girl. This is so fucking funny! Thankyou so much!!! I am living my best gay life right now, thankyou! Made me laugh n beam from ear to ear in this lockdown, so seriously thankyou!
Dear Dealing Spades, could you pls do a Maurice Beavis and Butthead crack? I mean, a dark-haired and a blond guy, obviuously good friends, but they argue a lot too...
Sorry to see the piss taken out of this film... I'm a straight woman - I love this book... and the film is beautiful I think. Both speak to us about alienation - from a sense of who we are and the pain of finding meaning and safety in our lives. Forster suffered this bravely as a Gay man, he knew what he was writing about certainly, I believe he has helped countless individuals - of all sexual orientation, to find hope, just as Maurice and Alec do. Others can support us along the way, but ultimately it is a solitary task of surrendering to what makes us feel good about ourselves - we are OK when we do no harm to ourselves or others. Simples eh?
I'm not sure how to interpret your comment. As someone who is part of the LGBT community, this movie has been a personal spring-board to soul searching (not to mention my academic journey into gay Lit) and my capacity for humor doesn't dismiss this. I wanted to impart levity and do not equate that with disrespect. I believe you are over complicating things. Perhaps you should ask my intentions before assuming I'm taking a piss at the [gay] core values? "Simples, eh?" ;-) Unless of course I am misinterpreting your tone, and in that case, I sincerely apologize. I think you'll find I side with you, I too am a firm believer that we should all be supported, but part of that comes with the realization that people have different experiences, perspectives, coping mechanisms etc. Humor has been a way for many to survive, including me. I could understand objections if this was an opinion piece and I was prejudice/judgmental verbatim, but we are talking about a comedy video for a fictional story. Since creating this video, I've actually connected with a lot of like-minded people who keep the dialogue on Maurice going, so if it gets people interested in Forster's world and talking about relevant issues, I consider my job well done.
@@dealingspades6449 Apologies dear Mr. Spades - I have muddled thinking like Maurice - I've enjoyed your reply. Yes! What soul searching we do with this novel... and the film just enhances its colours. Of course,, you have every right to make humor around it, enjoy! But for me, the deep excitement and satisfaction I felt watching this delight, have left me transfixed - obsessed with how to get those two decent men of the forest, to safety. So no laughing matter for me, haha. I am all seriousness asking how could they escape being parted, maimed, annihilated by that bastard war? Where would they go from that boathouse? Not France, not Italy, or Greece! Awww fuck! I want to know what happens next - good ol' Forster - he knew how to have us gagging for more! I had them drifting in the boat (that one Alec had bailed out) languidly entwined, as they float downstream, to the sea... ferried to the refuge of the Napoleon Code,. Once in France, they would very soon meet, and bond with two beautiful and bohemian lesbians... the four lovers would from then, appear as two safe couples - close in mutual understanding, trust, and affection - a family... and before the calling up, and white feathers begin, Switzerland might shelter them for a few years until the danger was passed? Let's sketch ourselves a sequel, eh Mr Spade? I'd love to share that with you. Whoops sorry about my tone - it is simple really - we need to just love ourselves and one another. Nothing more. :) I try always to come from my heart, not my head.. often words get in the way - poor dear Clive disappeared up his own arse with all that thinking, and analysing what was good and pure, were worth less than one true kiss from his lover - a lover who would empty his slops all night just to be near and to care for him. Better that Clive had kissed all those thoughts and his Morris, better. It could have freed them both from the fusty, prissy, cobwebbed-confines of toxic convention; to something luminous, real and lasting... quite possibly, 'til death... Thank the Gods that Maurice felt that warmth of connection... he stayed open to love and would risk. Touch and tenderness waken intuition with a knowing from the senses, not the thoughts. Morris kept himself pure,and held himself together in this way. When all seemed to be fragmenting, his love endured. Lump in my throat now... 'Love is an absence of fear.' who said that I don't know - but it's true. ;) Lovers find spades of courage, if they trust their instinctive heart wisdom - it's always alive and pervades our whole being. YES! ROCK THAT BOAT WHENEVER YOU MUST!, Your deal, my dear friend Mr. Spade.
@@jennyconnatty7635 Thank you for your loyalty, Jenny. I wrote the screenplay. I am touched by your defence, which it would seem has provoked a somewhat guilty reaction. But you know what? I am glad that fun is to be had out of it. It is, one, better for a work of art (novel, screenplay) to be talked about than not talked about. Two, the very humour highlights how far LGBTQ+ freedom has come since Forster wrote it, and indeed, since we made it. Three: the attitudes and language and prejudices of that (thank God) long-gone era ARE ridiculous, indefensible, worthy of derision. I hope that its banishment has a lot to do with what Forster wrote, and what we adapted. I am glad that young lovers of today, of whatever sexuality, can love. But ... thank you.
😁😊 I'm glad I can make at least one person "laugh [their] ass off" eh? Haha I've lost track of the many times I've seen the film, but one thing is for sure, every time it brings me to tears... so this had to be done. 😉😆

Maurice’s mustache is the biggest tragedy in the book.
But he has tash., only during that period when he is knuckling down - his uniform of conformity and apparent maturity - it is gone when he is with Scudder - rejuvenation takes place unconsciously for him - but Clive will keep this emblem of the masculine establishment. Wow! When they play cricket - no mustache on either of the youthful Gods whacking that ball. Yes!! Tantalising!
It looked really good on him.
