Just watched this movie. Someone recommended me a long time ago, but I never got to watch it. I was tearing up at the end.

    I dont know why all gay romantic movies end up with sad endings. There’s another “romantic” movie where one of them ends up killing the other with a knife and running away because he was afraid of homosexuality.

    For this one, even though someone already told me it had a happy ending, i was still thinking they were not going to end up together

      Have you heard of the bury your gays trope? It’s a pretty common theme with queer characters dying but it’s getting better.

        No, this is the first time i heard about that.

        Another movie that I really like is free fall. Not sure if you have watched but spoiler alert: no one dies, but it is still a sad ending

          No I’ve not seen that I’ll check it out!

          The bury your gays trope does seem to be dying out now and there are more and more positive/normal representations but you can still catch it. Brokeback Mountain was a classic example of it, but that’s quite old now.
