Happy you love this as much as I do.

The tragedy of lost love.

[lilaclad]

Yes, I weep every time I watch it.

This has to be one of the most romantic scenes in any movie, ever, and one of the best kisses. This movie introduced me to the gorgeous and talented Rupert Graves, for which I'll always be thankful. Yowza, both he and James Wilby are beautiful in this.

I read that this is based on a true story Forester knew of:) The real-life couple were in fact an upper-class guy & a tradesman,who gave up everything to be together. They actually did end their days together happily living a simple country life,& had many friends.This beautiful clip is evn more remarkable to me b/c the actors said it was the 1st scene they ever did together! They just went for it! xx thankx

Alec Scudder's kisses are filled with anger, hunger, and a really amazing love.

To the poster no Rupert Graves in real life did have a sexual relationship with a man he said it an interview when he was younger..

@lilaclad But it's not lost love!

[henrycate]

Have you ever been kissed like that?!?

@sadcatbank thank you hun i shall look it up

[sadcatbank]

@brian121698 It is from the Maurice soundtrack, an original composition by Richard Robbins. I believe this track is called "Clive and Anne" but I'm not sure. It is out of print but very worth owning. You can find it uploaded on YouTube as well.

@k3ngarbage YES! Don't we live in happier, more open times as gay men? lets drink a toast to those who didn't have it so open like Wilde, Carpenter, Whitman--they were pioneers for freedom. Justt this past week gay marraigepassed in the state of WA! Unheard of 10 years ago. We got some ways to go, you are right, but the gay freedom train is a comin.

@lonelysymphony YES> This scene is soo sensous, so remarkable, so ahead of its time. Shows what remarkable actors Rupert/James are--they chucked any inhibitions 4 the advancement of where the characters were--making the right choices for Maurice/Scudder and what needed to happen--an explosion of wanting each other. Not all actors are willing to do this. Its a very sensous scene, much more sexual and thrilling in a way than anything on xtube--because love is involved, not just their bodies.

[windstorm1000]

Let me also note that Carpenter (model for Maurice) was an advocate of rural living & of a vegetarian diet--he was way ahead of his time, as I noted. One of the greatest Englishmen of all time. He & his partner George lived their lives in a repressive time but went for freedom--just like their fictional counterparts did!! And were happy for it!!! Our Walt Whitman would have approved!!! Isn't it nice to have a gay movie w a happy ending? Much superior to Brokeback Mountain in that respect.
