I just read a title referencing gay movies not having good endings. I feel the same but as I wrote on Dekko, I have watched the movie quite a few times and I always felt something was incomplete. That thing was the ending.No one expected Jules and Jane to reconcile, so they parted. Now I could be wrong, but David, who was in this mess, came out with his dance career and a man.Poor Jane was left with nothing but her child and we all know what Jules was gonna do. I will say this. I truly believe Jules loved and was in love with David as David was with him.What we forget is when you are 22 and having a supportive family being gay is no big deal. Now to defend Jules, He had not to to grips with who he really was. Like so many gay men, they try and lead a "normal" which usually explodes in their faces. I could see his love for him in the kitchen scene. You could see in his eyes that he was hurt knowing he was going to eventually lose him, then after Jane left the way they looked at one another and David mouthing "I love you." The 2nd show of his love was when he MADE him leave Sam. Although some ppl view that as jealousy, jealousy goes hand-hand with loving a person because if I am not mad or jealous, I do not givbe a crap about what you do or who you see. It was also obvious that David slept with Sam to try and forget Jules. If that were not true, when Sam asked if something was wrong David answered by saying it is Jules my father. Then he whispered to himself again saying "my father." Crazy as this will sound I wish they could have ended up together.
