Remember when films were complicated and littered with extra moments that you had to figure out why they were included? Half the meaning in movies comes from these scenes which are now omitted due to expediency. Women in Love is that kind of old-school movie that has about ten ambiguous scenes in either hour.
Having met a very charming man recently, in a part of the country known for it's manners, I could finally glimpse the old idea: that the getting of a woman forces men to adopt 'culture,' grow and receive some finish. The man in question is never at a loss for words and extremely pleasant to be around. It's clear that the gaining of a woman (or perhaps just very directed self-actualization) has brought him into the condition he finds himself.
Having been rather hard on women of late (after years of naively thinking women were saintly and blameless in the big picture) it was interesting to watch this movie, in which women, tired of social restraints, cast them off with no clear destination; which immediately provides new dangers traps and dilemmas; Jackson is an undesirable shrew!
If men could talk to each other like Oliver Reed and Allan Bates, the confusion that society creates as men search for a woman to put out (both before and after he finds her), would be reduced. Oh well, dream on. I had no idea that Larry Kramer had been involved in films or could provide such intelligent commentary.
