Watching this movie I was blown away by their chemistry and the acting from both of them like RENT WAS DUE! Especially Henry's actor, he convey so much emotions with his eyes omg
This is truly the best I’ve ever seen that actor, and I’ve watched Cinderella, Handsome Devil and Purple Hearts - you could tell he had potential but he really pulled out all the stops for this. I’m really happy he’s getting his flowers
This! At first I noticed he had such great expressions in several scenes, but then after watching reaction videos and clips I realised it's actually all the time. Like next time I rewatch the movie, I'll have to remember to just watch his face tell the story.
I must of saw something else but glad you thought it was good 😅
They are both so talented and gorgeous .
@@josh-suberno exaggeration, you are the very first person I’ve seen that flat out thought it was bad, so it seems like you’re the odd one out here.
After decades of gay movies where the only topics were hiv, death, shame etc. we finally have movies and series when we see happy people, teens in love, royals in love, real people who deserve to love and be loved. This movie become my number one the second I finished it. From now on it will be rewatch on every valentine's day, every christmas day, with friends with big bowl of popcorn and pizza. This movie creates perfect fantasy, safe place, big smile and what is the most important...HOPE. Hope for love, hope for better tomorrow. I absolutely love this movie, it's fantastic, romantic, funny and just beautiful.
I agree it's a lovely movie
@@Imetwurld_the one with Matt Bomer and Mark Ruffalo is about HIV
@@Imetwurld_ might not be the main topic but a lot of films set in the 70s and 80s have that in them. rn i can think of philadelphia and mapplethorpe
@@Imetwurld_you'd have to watch a gay themed movie either filmed in the 90's or set in the late 80's to early 2000's
Sick and immoral trash !
Taylor and Nick’s acting as Henry and Alex and their insane chemistry and dynamic carried this movie 10000% and made me forgive all the stuff they cut or changed up. I want so much more now!!
If anything, their amazing chemistry makes me more mad that we don't get to see all the scenes that got cut from the movie!! WE DESERVE TO SEE THE CORNETTO SCENE PLS 😭
same same same same. I'm usually a hater, but there was nothing to hate about their performances. Taylor, especially, he took such good care of Alex.
To clarify, Taylor played Alex and Nick played Henry.
@@kathrynhoward4196 Yeah, like he got to know his character properly and completely, and took great care of the MC in one of the greatest love stories in queer cinema
@@nightmare-fuel You're giving me a bit too much credit; the original comment didn't match the actors' names with their respective characters, so I clarified it.
I've never read the book, and I most likely never will.
The casting director needs a raise. Heartstopper is a bit too young for me, but the actors in Red, White, and Royal Blue are closer in age with me, and so I instantly felt more connected with their characters. Definitely my favourite movie in a while.
sameeee, heartstopper is amazing but im around the same age as the characters in rw&rb so i could connect with it more
Besides, Nick and Charlie are sexless in an age when teens have only sex in their minds. I haven't watched the 2nd season yet because I saw a clip at the end of it and Nick says he's still not ready for anything more than kissing, WTF. I don't know if I'll watch it. Now, THIS is a FANTASTIC movie. Know nothing about the book so I can't judge its adaptation and frankly I don't care. This movie will be in my heart forever. I loved SMILEY too, the Netflix gay series, not the horror one.
@@bcnmanhattan5022 why do you care if teenagers will have sex or not..
@@bcnmanhattan5022 watch young royals if you haven't yet
@@Arualx Why do you care ?
I really appreciate the focus on tenderness for their first time - showing that gay people (men in this case) deserve and experience romance too - it’s not all the jackhammer stuff you see on x sites
Yes, this kind of media is important. Not everything is about getting pounded 😂
This tenderness is what makes this movie different. All people need to see that LGBTQ+ love is the same as heterosexual love. Love is not always about just sex.
I watched this last night and I didn’t think it would have me sobbing but it did 😂 when Henry said he thinks he’ll never own a key in his life I immediately was like “oh he gonna have that key by the end of the movie” and then when they switched jewelry 🥹🥹🥹
He does have a key though… to Alex’s heart 😏😏
@@naribyul exactly my point on why I sobbed while watching this 😂
Henry’s reaction when Alex is about to tell him he loves him honestly breaks my heart bc he genuinely expected their little romance to be casual and never expected Alex could ever love him back
I am NOT okay emotionally😭😭😭😭
Absolutely love the lake scene and how Taylor and Nicholas play it, in their heads Alex and Henry are in 2 completely different stories, like you guys said Alex is in a fairytale, he's in a love story about to confess to the love of his life, while Henry is in a tragic love story where he's realizing he won't be able to love this man in the way he wants to be loved, loudly, outwardly.
Yup, because Alex is “free” after the election whereas Henry is stuck indefinitely.
Yeah, the fact that his favourite movie is "In the Mood for Love" (two people, whose spouses are cheating on them with one another, fall in love but never consummate their love and never get to be together) is basically an easter egg to hint at what Henry's idea of his own romantic possibilities - or lack thereof - is....poor lamb!
In interviews, both Nick and Taylor are so well versed on their characters. They really understood the need to represent such important characters with queer identities. Nick didnt read the book bcoz he wanted to stick to the script, but he read it after filming. Taylor read the book several times. Nicholas was the director's first pick for Henry so when he accepted, the role of Alex relied on the chemistry with Nicholas. And so Taylor had that best chemistry and they even did the rehearsals via Zoom. Also Director Matthew Lopez really loved the book too and this his director debut!! he nailed it so much.
My guess is I'm at least 25 years older than the intended target audience (and I haven't read the book), but I watched this last night on a whim and it gave me so much joy. Media has been severely lacking in the romantic comedy department. This was perfect.
Could not stop smiling the entire movie! SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SERIES!!!!
You always have Young Royals 😉. That’s a serie 👑💜.
Agreed! There's so much stuff they had to omit in order to fit it in the movie format. I love the fuck outta this movie, but a series would've been even more awesome!
The author hasn’t denied a possible sequel. It sounds like one might be coming
The amounts of bi rep lately have been amazing. And I watched this movie twice back to back, and now I’m halfway through the book 😂
As a bisexual, I LOVE to see it🩷💜💙 Especially male bisexuality is so underrepresented in media
Nick Nelson, now Alex Claremont... 💖
Yall, let’s recommend this movie to other reactors! Let’s get the word spread!
Fun fact: in the scene where Ellen works on her speech in case she loses the election, there’s a cameo from the autor of the book. They are sitting on the floor, typing on a laptop. Just wanted to share cause I think it’s neat
Thanks for sharing. I will look for the author. Foster Lee
Their chemistry is off the charts. This movie had me feeling so many emotions. Definitely a 10/10.
This felt like a hallmark movie and i kinda love that, i love that we get a over dramatic, unrealistic, gay couple where we don't have to worry about severe heartbreak
Exactly. I don't agree they had crazy chemistry but it was fun. All we need is a fun gay film
Not Alex and Henry hashing things out in a closet, and everything changes when they emerge together. Lmaooooo
Then later Z opens the closet expecting to find a heterosexual explanation. Mama, you walked into that one
@@retroreceptionist7571 LMFAO
This was everything. The friend is everything for Alex because she understand the gay agenda.
Yes! Her role was so important and we think Rachel did a great job portraying Nora. 💕
The chemistry was off the charts. Love these two.
Be sure to watch to the end of the credits if you haven’t already. Cute mini-scene. And “for Kristy” was Taylor’s sister who died recently. ☹ But yeah, adored the movie. Can’t believe ANYONE would think there’s no chemistry because it off the charts!
Thanks...I didn't watch to the end of credits...I will now! x
Thank you for this. I'll go back and rewatch it the whole thing again just to see that
oh i was wondering who kristy was 🥲
I don’t think anyone is ready for this movie. It’s great fun and the chemistry is CRACKLING 🔥
I certainly wasn’t ready for Paris 🔥
When it comes to Zahra, the term you were looking for is "eating the scenery". So on point she makes the head of a pin look like God's Green Acre.
My favourite scene in the movie is the scene in The Victoria And Albert Museum. The challenge for the crew was lighting. They were not permitted to bring in any normal set lights. They also had to be out of the Museum before the building opened for the day.
I am currently reading the book, and whilst I will say the movie (so far) is not the MOST faithful adaption, still one of the best pieces I've watched in years. The comedy, chemistry and just vibe of the characters and actors is amazing. Just *chef's kiss*
Yeah, there’s just so much in the book that there’s no way they could’ve fit in into a 2 hr film. I think for the most part they chose the right stuff to leave in. I did miss some of the stuff from the book like Alex figuring things out and his talks with Raphael. Also, they could’ve given us some underwear shots lol. But overall I loved the film.
@@Steef_Leeyeah that was something I was looking forward to as well was Raphael’s entire role esp how important it was in the last act of the book, so I was iffy about Miguel almost replacing him and downplaying that role all bc of being petty. I also really missed June bc her convos w Alex in the middle of the book were super important too when they discuss about their careers and future paths
I feel like we just traded a lot of detail and a lot of history for some really breathtaking scenes and some sexy perfection.
It's an adaptation, not a recitation
@@WhosThatBird_ they literally specified “most faithful” meaning there are levels of adaptations. No need to get all sensitive and cunty. You sound stupid anyway.
The last scene is Alex and Henry on bikes riding to Alex's CHILDHOOD HOME in Austin which is what he told Henry that key was for not the lake house.
Loved this movie. Very strong emotions.
I swear this movie changed me usually I think romance movies are cringy but this one was absolutely beautiful the intimate scenes were just about love nothing crazy I love this movie so freaking much
didnt know if you guys noticed but alex gave his orange hat to henry (alex wore it while packing his stuff to go to austin and henry wore the hat at the bar) and henry wore alex's hoodie (the one alex wore when he talked to nora in her offfice) when he took the other to the museum
I hadn’t noticed the hoodie! That’s so cute!! Thanks for mentioning it
Good catch!
Another character in the movie I enjoyed watching was Alex's female body guard - such attitude!
Her name is Amy. She is a trans character and actor. In the book she has a wife. She is faabulous; love that wink when she lets them out of the hospital closet!
This movie left me sobbing my eyes out. The book stole my heart and I was so afraid that the movie wouldn’t do it justice but BY GOD it exceeded all my expectations. My heart is so happy.
I went looking for a reaction video and you two did not disappoint, flailing over Alex and Henry! 😂 glad you enjoyed the movie as much as I did.
Aww so happy you enjoyed it as much as we did! 🥰
I've watched this three times and every time it has me tearing up and pulls at my heart. I'm a 58 single gay man and this movie has me wanting a love like this and believing maybe I could turn the corner tomorrow and find it. I've never read the book but I'm gonna buy it shortly (I did the same thing with the film and book Call Me By Your Name, fell in love with them both). The chemistry between Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, I've never seen the likes of it ever, it was passionate, electric, beautiful and sensual. I WANT a sequel hopefully when all writer and actors strikes are over. I hope there are deleted scenes included whenever they release this on DVD/Blu-ray
So much for 'oh, queer characters must ALWAYS be played by queer actors'. They couldn't have found a better duo than these two. Their chemistry is off the charts.
I got emotional too! These boys have so much onscreen chemistry! Their facial expressions make all of us clasp our pearls. We all want it to be real.
And TX, go blue!!!!!
It’s also so nice to see a romantic gay/bi story that is not between teens or a 30+ year old and a 17 year old (looking at you Elio and Oliver 😭). It’s about damn time for a couple we can ALL fawn over. It just seems weird to do it with Heartstopper casts or Love Victor.
17 and 24, please. The actors were both adults when the film was done.
My fav part was getting to see more of Henry’s perspective as the book was written in Alex’s perspective
Especially with the outing scene
I hope everyone watched all the way to the end of the credits, because there is an end scene after all the credits. It’s just cute and just gives us one more little smile before we have to go. I won’t spoil it but if you haven’t watched it, go back all the way to the end of the credits and watch the last little cute scene :-)
Thank you for giving an excuse to watch Henry & Alex again 😂 I love them so much ❤🤍💙 💯
loved the lip gloss application after watching the first kiss. You guys are idiots. I love it. I'mma watch your video again now.
😘
I watched this last night & the way I had my feet kicking and giggly. ugh I love this movie & the chemistry🔥🥵 I really wish this was a series cause I want moooore!
About To Watch it And I'm So Excited For it 🤗
If you want to see more of Nicolas Galitzine(Prince Henry), I suggest you watch the Irish movie Handsome Devil from 2017, where he plays the boarding schools star Rugby player but is also coming to terms with being gay.
That’s right and I saw him in high strung
"Handsome Devil" is a WONDERFUL & moving movie! Everyone should watch it, too.
This movie exceeded every expectation I had. Sure, some plots of the books are missing but you can go re read the book if you want that.
It was amazing, I was not bored for 1 second and this is a 2 hour long movie. 100/10
I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️
I have now seen it 10 times! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤
I’ve watched this movie like 5-6 easily already and can I just say, watching your giddy reaction to it is just making me so happy and feel like the first time i saw it. I love how excited we all are for this movie!
This is truly a new all-time fav and I’m never going to shut the fuck up about it 😭😭
"Oh my god...ass" my fave quote ever
This movie was so good and I'm so glad for the beautiful ending. Their chemistry is electric . It reminds me of Young Royals but happier (plz got let Wilhelm and Simon be happy like this in S3 :(
The pinky ring is kinda known as a signet ring. It's usually some symbol of the family
In the UK we do NOT say 'pinky' (Ugh, horrible word!) WE call it what it is, the little finger. Usually worn in upper class families as a sort of badge of honour - which is why, in the book, Henry removes it to be able to speak frankly for the storming the castle scene, and why he gives it to Alex to wear in the film - the strict bands of aristocracy loosening from his soul. If you look carefully you can see that the inscription is a cursive letter H.
This reaction was so fun to watch 😂
the reaction to the bitmoji was literally me word for word while watching like so silly but also so quickly showed how dorky prince henry is, wish we got this as a mini series because the casting was perfect and i wish we got more of them
I love the progression of the two of you smiling, crying, then loosing your mind 😂. This movie is amazing ❤
I showed your review to one of the ghostwriters who added the rugby hair grasp line. She was so happy you got it. She was down about another reviewer laughing 'What does that even mean?' ❤
Y’all are too freaking funny 🤣 I loved everything about this reaction
Absolutely ADORED your review. Well done!
Thank you kindly! 💕
I wish the man in the red shirt wouldn't have talked so much during the review of the movie 😮
“What about his majesty, the king”
- NEVER HEARD OF HIM
Lmao you guys crack me up 😂🤣
HEARTSTOPPER and RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE are healing our souls🌈
My heart was made of too much stone to be as moved as you were during my first watch. But watching it back, through your eyes warms my soul. Your reactions are so pure and I appreciate how the film radiates hope. We need more of that in the world.
"I love him on purpose!" One of my favorite lines ever! Because we always hear "its not a choice" and yes that is true, but the "purpose" part is just such a statement, because that shows that no matter what, HE CHOSE this specific person, even with all the shit that could go wrong. He chose him!
Such a good movie, and yes they book does have a lot more detail, but its also like 400 page book, so of course they cant have all of it in it. So they chose the most important cute as fuck scenes and gave us this amazing movie!
Such a truly romantic rom com so sensitively and emotionally acted by Taylor and Nicholas. Their casting was pure perfection. Henry the shy withdrawn royal prince and Alex as the happy go lucky outgoing first son. Every time they were on camera the screen just sizzled. So many tender and loving moments. The actors worked so hard to keep it real and they certainly succeeded. Nicholas has a beautiful vulnerability about him whist Taylor has bucketloads of charm and charisma.💖💖💖💖💖
Boys, the scene with the King is highly explainable. I have studied the Royal family for over 50 years and the scene is of the King coming into a room BUT, what does he do? He gets a cigarrette then goes and gets a whiskey at probably 10:00 A.M. He is the King but he is also one VERY SHOCKED MAN and he is doing what he can do to calm his nerves down! Loved the commentary.
Chey's absolute mental breakdown watching the London tower, art museum, and "I love you" scenes is so relatable lol
I just loved that the secret service on both sides had ALL the tea.
At one point in the novel, Alex comments to himself something like “thank God for staff NDAs,” and ain’t that the truth!
My reaction when the King entered the room: STEPHEN FRY?!?!?!
I did not expect him to be in this film tbh. His character was the complete opposite of Oscar Wilde too
Gob bless Rachel Maddow & Joy Reid for making appearances in this wonderful movie!
I loved the movie!!! The chemistry between Taylor and Nicholas it as amazing
Justice for June! I'm sad they wrote out Alex's sister but I am happy Rachel played up more of the sisterly role to counter it :)
Alex's whole wardrobe just has me confused if I want him or want to be him
Both 😂😭
watching your reaction makes me love the movie even more. there’s a lot of negative reactions to this movie cos of the pacing and some characters who are omitted. but watching you both having such a great time watching it while crying and screaming on screen, i also came to love the movie as much as you do. i’m starting to accept that this is the best adaptation that we could ever get, at least taylor and nick are absolutely phenomenal as alex and henry. i hope they'll release bonus clips later cos i'm so sure there's a lot of scenes that didn't make the cut.
I will not like to comment on the amount of times I’ve watched this film 💀
Hi love your channel; I'm from the UK; Stephen Fry is well known for being an out gay (for many years) and has/had a partner. So a little ironic that he was cast as the KIng, may be they just thought he was very British! I'm glad to hear you think the addaption of the film is quite close to the book.
I expect Stephen Fry was cast on purpose. The Brotish love subtle irony!
Just finished this movie just now....and OMG this is the best gay romcom I've seen, like EVER!!! So cute!!!
I watched it twice last night and now three, and I still can’t get enough, such a beautiful movie ❤️❤️❤️
The fact that y'all are from Texas, makes me happy.😊
I literally love for your reactions and I wasn’t waiting for this one- I was a bit late seeing it due to kids and work, but you did not disappoint and I absolutely love the real raw chemistry and emotion these actors brought to the story and their characters 💕💕💕
I was still adamant about watching the RWRB in full coz I consumed an unhealthy amount of clips this past several days already. I fear it will further escalate my obsession with seeing the movie now but I accidentally saw this review and it intrigued me so much. The side comments are topnotch, I feel they fully represent the feelings of the fans and there's no dead air throughout the video. This has the right amount of reaction, not exaggerated. The side comments are so witty, I can help but smile. I don't usually watch videos with almost an hour's duration if it is not a movie/ series. But this is just right and I also like that u both didn't include the full movie. So there will be scenes that I can still look forward to and still not take my excitement away when I finally watch the whole film. Please, more queer film reviews. Both of your reaction is on point.
Definitely want a sequel to their stories. What amazing young role models and ambassadors for young people in the Queer community.❤️
We definitely need more gay romcoms with no tragedy!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Yeah Henry’s hurting face is gonna haunt me for days🫣🫣🫣 Alex’s eyelashes too
as a queer texan of color, i found a lot of comfort in alex’s character. although the amount of texas mentions in the book and movie felt so meta 😭
Same. I'm not Mexican American, my partner is, but I'm a queer Texan
I loved it soooo much too!!! I have now watched it 100 times. Thank you for getting your reaction out so quickly. I feel like I need group therapy to talk about it so watching you guys helped. Agree about the love letters from the books but I can let that go bc everything else was perfect. The biggest thing was always going to be getting the casting right and my god. They are both perfectly cast in every single way that was needed for this to work. I will forever be in love with this gorgeous couple and this beautiful love story. Watching the joy it brought to you both watching it made me cry. LOVE!
loved your reactions, I had similar ones the first time I watched. I loved how funny the movie was mixed with really incredible intimate moments. Zahra was one of my favorite parts. Her finding Henry in the closet in the hotel room was so hilarious. The Paris hotel room sex scene was so beautifully done. It was done with such elegance and dignity. No panning the camera away, not hiding the body placements. Such a romantic moment in the movie, and THAT MUSIC! The museum scene absolutely killed me the first time I watched it (and still occasionally on rewatches). It was so intimate and romantic and the song choice was perfect ("Can't Help Falling In Love" by Perfume Genius who I love also). I've been to the Victoria & Albert Museum and have walked that exact corridor. I have photos of those exact statues where they were dancing. As someone who loves museums, I'm adding having a late night private date at a museum with a guy to my fantasy wish list. I felt so incredibly single in that moment watching that scene.
Estuve enamorada del libro pero cuando finalmente vi la película me quede super obsesionada y atrapada no sólo por su historia sino por la actuación y química que desprenden Tay y Nic , no podría haberlos imaginado de otra manera 💕 y definitivamente necesitamos una secuela
Thank you for your review. It is probably the funniest, most positive, appreciative and comprehending review I have ever seen (why DO so many so called 'reviewers' on RUclips work so hard wasting time displaying their screaming bad manners and their own ignorance of what they are doing as if it is something clever, when in fact it screams IDIOT and AMATEUR very very loudly? Sorry, I am a retired theatre critic and it annoys me that so many idiots think anyone can do it)
You made me laugh and splutter and also nod at your collective wisdom and perception; and delight in the strength of your partnership as you do so. Sweet of you both, and quite lovely. You two are sweet and heartwarming. I owe you hot chocolate and marshmallows!
Fun fact: Sarah Shahi, who plays the PR woman, played Carmen in The L Word Seasons 1 and 2.
Y’all are so silly! I cried laughing when you whispered “fuck” after he asked what do we do now. I also relate to watching queer romance movies and getting emotional and so into it. It makes your inner child so giddy and alive ❤️. Hopefully y’all get to review Bottoms when they put it on streaming!
Henry's wholesome smile at the New Year's Eve party when Alex grabbed him by the shoulder❤❤❤❤
After watching Red White and Royal Blue for the first time last week, then compulsively watching it over and over and over - then buying the book - and finishing it in 2 days - I finally came here to watch other people's reactions. I LOVE you two!!!!
I’m pretty sure the sweatshirt Henry is wearing when he gives Alex his ring and Alex gives him his necklace is the one Alex was wearing earlier in the movie.
OMG watched this movie 5 times already. they need to make a sequel!
"oh my gawd his buttt" HAHAHA i felt that 😩 yall's reaction had me laughing so hard. i need a sequel immediately.
I can't believe how hard I laughed watching your reactions on this movie! It's like 1000times joy even after I've watched this movie for many times.... My God you two are soooo drama and cute🥰🥰😇😇😇😇
I just finished the movie, it was very very beautifully done, the two actors are dreamy and their chemistry is ineffable, I give it 1 million out of 1 million , definitely the best film of 2023.
I encountered your channel a few weeks back and have been binging all your reactions since, and this has to be the best one yet! Extremely hilarious and very relatable, we're all obsessed with this film
Have you seen “Handsome Devil”? Prince Henry’s actor also plays gay in that too
Watching your reaction video was just so wonderful. Your reactions added a fantastic layer to it, like in the scene where Henry/Alex exchange their ring/key! 😭😂
You guys are fabulous and amazing. I usually couldn't give a shit about reaction videos, but you make it fun. Subscribed and will be watching more ❤
Loved this movie! It had humor, sad moments and made you want to root for Alex and Henry.
Really enjoyed your commentary! I've watched it twice already. I'm glad youth today have media like this to watch- I feel like we could've all used it.
I SO loved watching this again with you boys! Teary and loving all it again. I've watched this more times than I will admit! :D YES - we want (another movie) even more character development scenes! Thank you, dears for such a good time!
So, this is one of the BEST reaction videos to RWRB that I have seen! You two nailed the FEELS!
Now, on to thoughts about the movie…I have A LOT…but I will just pick some, LOL.
1. Taylor and Nicholas are a LESSON in chemistry! They hit ALLLLLLLLLLL the points, no matter what. People who say they don’t have chemistry are SMOKING CRACK and they need to have the pipe taken away.
2. The women in the movie are QUEENS and deserve the praise. My favorite is Sarah’s Zahra, because her mannerisms are very much a combination of two former daytime actresses who SLAY for me, Vanessa Marcil and Bethany Joy Lenz. And Rachel’s Nora, well, “You’ve been wanting him to dick you down forever” lives in my head RENT FREE.
3. I love the creativity with Alex and Henry’s text conversations and phone calls, like they are actually in the same room talking to each other.
4. The first kiss is EVERYTHING that a first kiss should be!
5. Henry threading his fingers through Alex’s hair so often when they kiss is such a sexy thing. Nick is SO good at that!
6. The night in Paris where they finally have penetrative sex is absolutely the most intimate and sensual sex scene I have seen in YEARS. It’s such a contrast from their earlier hookups, where they are horny as fuck for each other (which is HAWT, of course!), and it REALLY shows that what they have will NEVER just be casual. Plus the conversation afterwards… love how open they are with each other…and the look that Alex gives Henry after Henry kisses his shoulder and says “I’m learning”, OMIFUCKINGGOD, it’s one of the most beautiful things I have seen onscreen. Taylor NAILED that.
7. Miguel needs to mysteriously disappear and be dealt with. I bet Amy would be glad to take care of that.
8. I have not watched something that has gotten me in the feels as much as the scene in the museum has in I can’t even say how long. I mean, even PICTURING it in my head makes me tear up. Henry telling Alex about all the times he’s been there when no one else is around, the dream about dancing in that spot with a man he loves, Alex making the dream a reality (the way Alex smiles at Henry and caresses his hand while they dance, SIGH, they are so beautiful together!) , and of course, “When they write the history of my life, I want it to include you, and my love for you”, there is NO DOUBT they are ENDGAME.
9. “I’ll break the sound barrier for you” - Alex, how could I love you any more than I already do?
10. I have hope that one day Texas WILL go blue!
I could say so much more, haha, but I will end with this - I have to watch at least a few scenes from this movie every day because #FIRSTPRINCE is life and I love them so deeply!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love your comments. I wanted to add two things--
11. The fact that Amy in the book is trans, and is played by a trans actress in the movie! Wonderful!
12. When Henry was singing karaoke and sang the line "I'll make a supersonic man out of you" and then when Alex was going to fly to London after the email hack he said "I'll break the sound barrier for you." So many little details that you simply can not pick up with a single viewing.
Texas USED to be Blue . . . and it will be again one day!
(Note from an older Texan.😊)
I've watched the movie twice and watched a few reactions, but I started crying again... If we get a sequel I will be inconsolable
A royal wedding and kids!!! That would be ultimate...!!
The Paris love scene and museum scene made me cry. This movie is everything.
