I did not know anything about the story before getting into it. I knew vaguely that a movie existed and have heard some people say that it had gay undertones and that’s about it.
I thought it was going to be mainly about the “aesthetics” (see: Dorian Gray) and I usually I don’t really enjoy love story or stories where love is a big part of them (which I thought it was going to be).
But, holy shit I did not expect it to be so good. It was so much more than anything I thought it was going to be??? Just thinking about it I feel a little lump in my throat.
Could you tell me about the interpretation of it, how critics perceived it etcetera? I would be very interested!
Also, I am wondering how the movie compares to the book, since I was discussing it with a friend that has only watched the movie and said she did not enjoy it very much. Even if you have only watched the movie please give me your thoughts!

I did not like the movie much, and I like Redford. I think there was one with DeCaprio that I remember little of.
