This was very good to see. It was somehow incomplete. The end was for me not good. It was sweet but nothing is resolved. Yes, it seems they will go on being friends but there were far too many unanswered questions and unresolved issues. I read some critiques at another web page and all were similar. This is an old recipe with nothing new. It could have told much more. One person said it was good but a failed opportunity. I would agree.
For someone my age it is much easier to fill in the missing information because I was the same age in 1965. And it was equally terrible in America as in England although culturally where these lads were it was perhaps much harder than for me in Manhattan and Los Angeles. Furthermore, it would have been very, very rare if not unthinkable back then for anyone to have the courage of Christian either in UK or the USA. On this planet homosexuality was not only condemned universally but in most countries illegal with severe punishments and brutality. The maker of the film should have realized this fact. This film is being seen around the world thanks to internet but mostly by people who have no idea how brutal life was for homosexuals in the UK .
Possibly also the English is very difficult for people who have English as a second or third language. English is my mother language and I understand all of their speech but that is only due to years of experience. There are a number of accents for English that are quite challenging to understand. A film maker for a World Market needs now to consider these details.
