00:00Hi, welcome back to my channel, in this video, I will explain the ending of My Policeman,

00:05so let's begin.

00:07My Policeman is a drama romance film directed by Michael Grandage, spoilers for the film's

00:11ending follow.

00:13After Patrick returned from his trip to Venice, he was arrested by the police.

00:18An anonymous person had reported him for being a homosexual.

00:22Tom was devastated.

00:24He returned home and confided in Marion that he was in a relationship with Patrick and

00:28now that the police had arrested Patrick, they might get to him as well.

00:33Marion proposed that they hire a reputed lawyer and she would stand in court as Patrick's

00:37character witness.

00:39While she only had good words for Patrick in court, the diary written by Patrick, which

00:43was now with the police, made it obvious that he had a relationship with a policeman who

00:47was married to a schoolteacher.

00:49Patrick was found guilty and had to remain in prison for two years.

00:54Tom lost his job as a policeman.

00:57Marion continued to visit Patrick in prison, he always asked her about Tom but Tom never

01:01visited him, knowing that it would lead to more rumors.

01:05Patrick had to endure physical torture in prison for his sexuality.

01:09He had lost his love and his life for being born a homosexual.

01:13After 40 years, Marion read Patrick's diary and realized the relationship Patrick and

01:18Tom shared.

01:20Even after living with Tom for years, she knew that they always had a distance between

01:24them.

01:25He was never truly with her at all times.

01:28At the supermarket, when Tom noticed Nigel, Patrick's nurse, and his friend sharing a

01:32moment of intimacy, he was reminded of the times he spent with Patrick.

01:37He could never forget how he felt when he was with Patrick.

01:41The times have changed and queerness has become acceptable but the time and opportunity he

01:45lost cannot be gained back.

01:48At night, Tom finally looked at Patrick from afar while he slept and Marion noticed it

01:52from a distance.

01:54The next morning, Marion packed her bags and announced that she would be leaving Tom

01:58and staying with her sister.

02:01Before leaving him, she confessed that she was the one who reported Patrick to the police.

02:06She felt helpless when Tom accompanied Patrick to Venice.

02:10She believed her marriage would be destroyed if she did not take steps to stop Patrick.

02:15She blamed him for all that was wrong with her life and concluded that he was a sexual

02:18pervert who encouraged her husband's queer tendencies.

02:21Marion wrote an anonymous letter to the museum confirming that Patrick was a homosexual.

02:26She did it to save her marriage but she regretted it the very next day.

02:31Her guilt was the reason why she stood by Patrick in court and even after all these

02:35years, she chose to help Patrick in every way possible.

02:39But she believed that in the process of trying to win her husband back, she forgot to live

02:43her life.

02:44She never wanted to live in Peace Haven, she was there only because of Tom.

02:49She was alone even after living with a person for years and she wished to change that.

02:54She asked Tom to take care of Patrick if he could and left the house.

02:58Tom walked to Patrick who was seated in a wheelchair.

03:01He touched his shoulder just the way he did the first time he went to Patrick's house.

03:06Patrick and Tom were finally together while Marion felt liberated after leaving her unfulfilling

03:11marriage.

03:12She was with Tom because she loved him but she realized that she was never truly happy

03:16with him.

03:18They were together out of societal expectations but now it was time for them to seek happiness

03:22wherever they found pleasing.

03:25Homosexuality continues to be illegal in around 69 countries to date.

03:29Queer people continue to be murdered for their sexuality.

03:33But on the brighter side, the world has become more accepting of queer individuals.

03:38When Tom noticed how gay couples could be openly together now, he reminisced about the

03:42romantic days spent with Patrick.

03:45Tom did not have the courage to accept who he was, he was ashamed of himself.

03:49He never dared to speak about his forbidden love and in the end, he suffered from regret.

03:55He did not just ruin his life but also Marion's life who chose to be with him through thick

03:59and thin.

04:00He could not give her the happiness that she deserved.

04:03Instead, she became an accessory to prove his straight life.

04:08Gay men marrying women and having lovers behind their backs is a common phenomenon.

04:13But it is a selfish choice no matter what the circumstance.

04:17Tom married Marion to have a successful career and have children, both reasons catering to

04:21his own interests.

04:23Tom never truly cared about Marion's emotions, he knew that she was silently suffering yet

04:27he chose to neglect it, knowing that his social life would be affected by her absence.

04:33After 40 years, it was Marion who felt guilty for what had happened in the past.

04:38She was kept in the dark when Tom married her, yet she never held it against him and

04:42realized that what she did to Patrick was not justified.

04:45The fact that Marion chose to take care of Patrick even after knowing the past shows

04:49the courage and kindness she possessed.

04:52Unlike Tom, Patrick never felt guilty about who he was.

04:56Maybe his exposure to literature and art was the reason he never perceived his queerness

05:00as unholy.

05:02He was repulsed by the time they were living in, he despised hiding and making love in

05:06the shadowed alleys.

05:08He knew his lover was slipping away from the day he decided to live a straight life

05:11by marrying a woman, yet he agreed to live with it and share the love with the woman

05:15in his life.

05:17But of course, such arrangements are never long-term and their relationship, too, came

05:21to a tragic end.

05:23My Policeman is a polished depiction of the treatment of queers in 1950s Britain.

05:29It is this detachment that results in the film's lack of impact on the audience.

05:33That's all for now folks, I would appreciate it if you could give the video a thumbs up

05:38and subscribe to the channel so you can see more content like this every day.

05:41Take care.

05:42Bye!
