2. Yup. Colin Firth rocks. I rented it. I'm looking forward to it.

3. It's a little strange, my dear applegrove...
Colin Firth is definitely worth watching, though.

A gay man in the 50's, mourning the death of his long-time lover, and dealing with how society sees him...and how he lives in it.

The ending caught me by surprise.

I do recommend it, though...

4. I've had a few gays friends over the years who have struggled with society and how they are seen.
I hope it doesn't end badly?

5. It's not a bad ending.
I didn't expect it.

I will say that the ending does not show him in a bad light...

You should see it.

I'd be curious as to what you think...

:hi:
