Because point is, the book from which this movie is from is one of the best things that ever happened in my slasher life and that movie is probably the best adaptation from a book I've ever seen and I don't talk about both nearly enough. Also, they feature one of my top three OTPs ever. Also, I'm not spoiling anymore here (I probably will flail ( Read more... )

this be my ship which ends well, maurice, picspam

Ahhh, I love that Freddie Honeychurch Rupert Graves! :) I need to see this film again!

janie_tangerine April 15 2009, 23:08:48 UTC

YES I SO DO TOO. (actually, I re-watched the last half hour three times yesterday. Yes, I make favorites.)

I actually need to see A Room With A View. I read the book ages ago but never got around to see the movie. Which is bad because any movie where Rupert Graves looks like that is something I should have watched ten years ago. ;)

Oh, you need to see it! It was the first "period" film/Merchant-Ivory film I'd ever seen. Opened up a whole new world of films to me. ♥

Oh, I so LOVE Merchant/Ivory. A Room With A View is probably my biggest hole but I've seen a lot of others and mm, I just love them so. This one is obviously my favorite but they really made such good movies.

Oh this movie/book. I really fell in love with it and Maurice/Alec! The "It's finished" is my favorite part. *sigh* I'm so glad they got their happy ending.

Thank you for the lovely spam! It made me smile. :)

Isn't it just a thing of beauty? The happy ending makes me so fuzzy. I so agree that the 'it's finished' is the best thing about it all even if I could rave about the rest for ages.

My pleasure, definitely glad it did! :)

Oh, Maurice. Hugh Grant, such a putz in that movie. I'm glad the ending was happy for Alec & Maurice.

janie_tangerine April 16 2009, 09:08:24 UTC

Hugh Grant seriously was. Geez, I think I rarely wanted to slap a character more. But it was the same in the book so I guess it's good because he acted well. I was soo rooting for those other two.

I've never seen this film but the book is one of my all-time favourites. I love E.M. Forster. He created such beautiful stories.

janie_tangerine April 16 2009, 09:13:18 UTC

Word about the book. I so love Forster, and that book especially. And if you happen to watch the movie I don't think you'll be disappointed, it was a really great adapting.

Oh, I just LOVE that movie - it is the most brilliant, perfect film of a story, isn't it? Mmmmm, and James and Rupert play the boys so well. *sigh* Thank you!

janie_tangerine April 16 2009, 09:15:30 UTC

YESYESYES it is. Totally. Most brilliant and perfect indeed, and Hugh Grant can sod off. I'm all for those two riding into the sunset and he can sulk for eternity. ;) And yeah, those two were so good. I think I've watched it ten times or so and I'd go do it again if it wasn't so long. You're welcome! :)
