Β Sorry I was talking about the ending Β Β Β You mentioned that it didnβt work because his familyβs not poor nor homophobic. So in the film, it ended with Eddie coming out to Amber, accepted the money and went to London. It didnβt show that he came out to his family, and I like that. So I was referring only to that part. I like that because, from a narrative perspective, it would have been easy to come out to an accepting and stable family. But in real life, coming out is never easy and complex. I mentioned about a friend who had similar struggle (though unlike Eddie, he actually went ahead and joined the army). Coming out to homophobic family is very difficult. But for him, all the right ingredients were there, βyour family loves you no matter whatβ that kind of stuff. And he still didnβt come out, and I think this happens a lot. Β But like you said, it didnβt work for that same reason because of the first half. Its really two movies mashup I think. I still like it though. Β Β Β No, I havenβt seen that movie.

Given her father's suicide and her own anxiety about staying in the town, I wanted her to get out, and I feel like it was just a tad messy for Eddie to actually take her money and peace out, leaving her in the dust.
