I agree with what you say and therefore just realised that the thing I'm sad about (apart from people suffering bc of him) is actually that there isn't an ace couple in mass media anymore I can point to and say "This! This is how relationships can be like, too, and people still love it." Ah, well..

Aber die Story war doch so grauenvoll. Wunderschön anzusehen der Film, das ja, aber die Story hätte so viel mehr sein können.
