Simon was too understanding

I'm not sure what's unrealistic about this.

This wasn't a boyfriend relationship. It was a marriage, without the legalities.

Many gay couples want to have children, and want them to be genetically related to one of them (and sometimes the other, via a close relative).

Gay men are able to have sex with women, just as straight men have sex with men. Liquor and stress can turn men into penises with no vision or judgment.

Simon wasn't happy to learn what Wai-Tung did, to say the least. But I readily believe he would help raise the kid. He seems very nurturing.

Agreed. I was hoping Simon would dump the jerk and become my boyfriend. j/k

I agree.
Simon character too weak that's why this film less dramatic.
I hope more violent from Simon and make this film more life.

Well, it wasn't like he was just happy about it. They basically broke up to begin with, then things took a turn for the better. Not improbable for a 5 year relationship or whatever it was.


"They so bad their cows had to die".

It's nice he eventually forgave him and wants to help.

I thought as well that his stance was not exactly what Id have expected but then again there are many factors we forget.

1)He has lived with him as a couple for years thus making him more understanding to this.

2)He was the one who suggested this marriage so he holds some responsibility as well.

3)After being in a long relationship sometimes you don’t question things as hard as you would have done if you werent. Love is blind indeed.

4) In 1993 a gay marriage was not an option or a possibility anywhere, much less an adoption. An adoption could be done with “other means” by one of them taking parental rights of a child or in lesbian relationships was more easy by actually choosing a donor. In this case they didnt have to do anything else but accept the baby. Simon knew this and Im sure that a couple after all this time would have wanted children but due to circumstances had made peace with the idea until it was presented to them again.
