I thought that was what I typed as well. Which was one of the reasons I didn't like it. I think the reason for all the buzz about the movie was the fact that they were gay. The actual strength of the movie was secondary.

My mom says that if you read the 11 pg short story first, you'll pick up more of the symbolic aspects of the movie.

Also, they were both married. Cheating on your spouse for 20+ years makes someone a bit of shmuck. Hard for me to sympathize with the whole "we can't be together" thing when they obviously have no respect for their spouses. For me, anyway!
