What if their relation was platonic instead of sexual..


How'd you like the movie if they meet as two lonely people who needs each other to satisfy their emotional needs.. but their relation was platonic instead of sexual.. ???

Such a movie would be very interesting but would require a totally different story. A benevolent Apt Pupil [novella by Stephen King] relationship would have needed a connection far different from illiteracy and would have lost much of its mystery.
