Since I don't even have a girlfriend right now, let alone a wife or kids, I didn't have to worry quite as much.<br /><br />I think the whole point of the film might have been to show how being gay wasn't that much different from being straight, and that a gay couple still faces a lot of the same challenges. The way they break up (the two of them getting distanced followed by one getting mixed up in an affair with a colleague) could easily happen to a male/female couple, as does the uneasy reconciliation that happens at the end.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797386216465468233.post-82149958623361239232015-01-24T23:38:43.667-08:002015-01-24T23:38:43.667-08:00This is a great movie.

There's nothing particularly gay or straight about it. It just is. For what it's worth, the three hours flew by except during those sex scenes. I have a wife and kids and even though they were all sleep at the time (wife just doesn't do subtitles) I was looking over my shoulder and praying no one picked "that" moment to have to get out of bed. It would've been really uncomfortable. Wendell Ottleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472743980681912924noreply@blogger.com
