I knew a gay guy that complained about the same thing. No everlasting happiness in gay films, someone always has to die at the end, always the aura of sin, et cetera.

Same, OP! Maurice is so special to me.

I've never seen this but now I want to and I had a similar experience with some other works, but, yeah, maybe this is why I have always liked fictional male/male relationships better. Some people think it's because it's either "fetichistic" or "distancing" but really, it's just because the stories are often better. Mainstream media rarely has space for treating women as complex, non-fetishized humans and I can't relate to those TV-made women, particularly of the non-straight variety, who are often just Eve 2.0, mYsTeRiOuS seductresses, or naive kids, or (insert here limited number of character traits).

'Maurice' is awesome. I love all his books, and this is probably my favorite. The movie is delightful, as well. Forster made sure it was not published until after his death, sadly, for fear of the reaction from friends and family and the law.

The 'gay but miserable' trope in most gay/lesbian fiction is what drove me to fanfiction, frankly, though at least it's better now than it was.
