The whole premise of this movie, has several holes in it, that leaves a viewer, like myself, saying: "wait a minute!" In the first place why would Brody pick a date so far in the future? Even in one year, that's asking for a lot! I am gay and in a relationship 45 years and still going strong! From my considered experience with gay relationships and my questions about this one stem from this experience! To begin with, gay relationship when entered at a young age are facile! So, Myles, trying to find Mr. Righ, for a long term one is unrealistic! Also, we know little about the two. What background do they come from? I can guess: Myles, rich and cultured! Brody, working class! How did they meet? Was it a one night stand? Did they have sex? (or I am saving myself for Mr. Right?)(Ha!) The narrative leads us to believe they both fell in love with each other, but both can't express that love for fear the other will reject it! (MHO). The puzzling thing about Myles is he is carrying the torch for Brody, and yet wants to leave him and the home to start over! However when the denouement takes place.,he almost pushes him away and only accept Brody if he promises to be trust and truthful! (After 12 yEARS, he doesn't know Brody that well?) Anyway, my final take on this relationship, they will have a short lived one, because after the bloom of sex, Myles, idea of love is distorted by his romantic idealism of love! (Maybe, they should get another napkin out and write: MYles, when you grow up, call me, I'll be waiting!"
