and the show was sold out and a bunch of teary eyed people were leaving the theater.

...they were tears of joy for a truly beautiful story, not of sorrow for the lack of hook-up. At least in my case!

  This ranks with "The Station Agent", "Half Nelson", and "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont", all about unusual platonic relationships and all first class enjoyable movies

    ... it was unfulfilled.
    I thought there was a real sexual charge to it and the fact that the two of them fell in loove during the making of the film would seem to support that.

      This common modern interpretation (i.e., a non-sexual relationship) is a misunderstanding of the nature of the Platonic ideal of love, which from its origin was that of a chaste but passionate love, based not on lack of interest but on spiritual transmutation of the sex force, opening up vast expanses of subtler enjoyments than sex. In its original Platonic form, this love was meant to bring the lovers closer to wisdom and the Platonic Form of Beauty. It is described in depth in Plato's Phaedrus and Symposium. In the Phaedrus, it is said to be a form of divine madness that is a gift from the gods, and that its proper expression is rewarded by the gods in the afterlife; in the Symposium, the method by which love takes one to the form of beauty and wisdom is detailed.
