Oh man, I really wish we could've gotten more of that in the movie proper, too, because the moments where it happened, where Charles was pulling things from Erik that he didn't even know he was capable of—those were so much love. It was so real. :) I GUESS PEOPLE WILL JUST HAVE TO KEEP WRITING THOSE MOMENTS, lol!
I usually have a pretty low tolerance for emotional pain in fiction, so it boggled me a bit to come stumbling out of this movie clutching at the pieces of my shattered heart and only wanting moooore! Like you say, that they can only become what they do because of each other, and also the fact that if they really do stay true to themselves—and they're both far too strong in their convictions not to—then that tragic break is just inevitable because of the shape of the world they live in. So you can see it coming, and the heartbreak just builds and builds because even though their worldviews clash so violently, they are SO COMPATIBLE AND PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER, jesus christ. ;A;
My crush on McAvoy is a little bit ridiculous these days. And lol, I immediately grabbed some of his other movies after First Class because, being me, I wanted to see him in a romance with a happy ending, and what do I watch? Becoming Jane. ;-; And I hear that Atonement is even worse, lmao. At least Penelope ended well, orz. --Fassbender is stupidly attractive in Jane Eyre, and I agree, great movie. :D
