"there's only one place I call home in the world and thats because you are there, who cares if I say you can stay or you say I can stay? It's ours"----- now that is love
When I first saw this terrific movie, I was bothered by the lack of a kiss at the end of the scene. My argument then was that if they were a straight couple the kiss would have been there. In this case though I was wrong--these are two gay men of a certain age, and years of ostracism, threats and taunts would have conditioned them both to avoid any PDAs, no matter how strong the feeling between them (shades of "Brokeback"...) This gives the moment enormous poignancy, I think. Thanks for posting
@Titaniacy There are. A good friend of mine is getting married and she says her fiancee makes all the gloom from her past relationships. They're just so sweet together.
This scene is especially lovely, a great juxtaposition to the rest of the film which is wonderfully silly and comedic- this (and the other emotional parts, like when the son is trying to get Armand to agree to the whole makeover/lie etc) is slotted in so efforlessly and doesnt take away from the whole tone of the film- only enhances it.
Fab- Thanks for the post!! x
ps I love agador spartacus as though my life depended on it xxx
this is one of the most underated scenes in movie history. The simplicity of the bench, the ship in the background, the comedy in the seriousness of the cemetary speech - it is truly magical. It would feature in my all time top ten scenes.
One of the sweetest declaration of love

It takes a gay man and an animated fish to make the most beautiful declarations of love in film history... but like Woddy Allen said: Whatever works!

If only relationships-both straight and gay-were as sweet as this...

Oh I think this movie is unerrated as a whole!!!
