I thought this was a wonderful representation of gay friendship. I know a lot of people are disappointed that it didn't turn romantic but it made me very happy to see friendship between gay people that didn't turn romantic. Too often media likes to portray gay people as if the only other gay person they can be acquainted with is their significant other; truth is, we travel in packs, and being gay & having gay friends doesn't mean we want to date said gay friends.
Most of trailers today reveal way too much of the plot, so you're never that surprised during the movie. I really like those trailers that pique your curiosity though ;)
LilTRoberts1000 Nah, it's about friendship, being "popular and fake" vs. being "an authentic version of yourself". Also it's fucking irritating how all friendships nowadays: 2 people = Automatically Dating. Seriously, have people forgotten that the majorty of those on Earth aren't going to be dating at all, but are instead friends, acquaintances, and strangers? Or that dating is NOT the default answer to every 2 people that ever existed??? I figure that suicide, or social isolation might be more relevant in this movie than "banging". So yup, start reading more/stop fapping so much. :|
I appreciate a gay-themed film which shows two gay men as friends as opposed to lovers because it breaks away from the stereotype of because two men are gay and coexist together, they have to be lovers, and it doesn't work like that.
I love this movie because it’s a great representation of lgbt interpersonal struggle, and Ned and Conor are two sides of the same coin in that. It’s also just such a wonderful story of friendship and is so well-written. Please just watch it !!!
I like how they're just friends, most movies involving gay people usually are about them being friends, fight, then date and live happily every after. It shows how gays can be friends and not boyfriends.
I thought this movie was going to end in suicide, I'm glad that wasn't the case. Such a beautiful movie about friendship. I'm glad it didn't have any intimacy or romance like billions of other LGBTQ films. It was innocent, just everyone trying to decipher and live their truth and I'm sure we can all relate to that. Loved it. I was a closeted boy and rugby is a huge part of our culture here in New Zealand but I hated playing it growing up because of who I knew I was. I would always get teased by the other players for being a little feminine, tried to fake injuries so I wouldn't have to play because I couldn't endure the nasty things they would say but my dad made sure I played. I'm 29 now and things like that don't phase me anymore. It was rough then but I'm out and content. Like the English teacher said, "It gets better". Anyway, I feel like this comment is spiraling off in all directions, maybe because I'm a little tipsy, so bye haha
The main character might not be gay, it was ambiguous if you think about it. For me, it fits the story better if you don't assume he's gay right away. He just wasn't into sports. Then here comes this athletic uber cool guy, and he's the one who turned out to be gay. Very nice role reversals going on in this movie.
“In writing and shooting this film, I never operated with the clear assumption that Ned was gay, or that he wasn’t straight,” Butler says. “I’m obsessed with male friendship and I really wanted to respect that idea that they could be allies. I’m fascinated by male friendship, by pushing the limits of that and examining how men are supposed to behave in each other’s company and the ways in which we’re not supposed to express things to each other, you know?” "When it came to making my feature Handsome Devil, I was determined that the story would run along the tram lines of a buddy comedy, because even if you believe both the young leads are gay, or not straight (by no means a certain thing, itself), then the fullest expression of that friendship, of homosexual friendship, of any friendship is… friendship."
I rewatched after reading your comment and yeah there was no direct answer from Ned that he’s gay as well. There was a narration of his when he said that he thought he’s the only one on the outside but after seeing Connor went inside the bar, he could have been wrong. And that might just mean Ned’s on the outside because he’s not into rugby and Connor’s on the outside because he’s gay.
Incredible, even if are people saying it is gay themed movie, IT IS NOT. It is about having the guts to prove that the honesty about yourself can make you stand firmly on your feet defying what people think know about you. VERY GOOD SCRIPT AND THE ACTORS DESERVE AT LEAST ONE OSCAR, EACH. One of the most beautiful movie I saw in years.
I understand why people were miffed that Ned and Conor didn't end up together. There was a good amount of scenes that featured the "love" gaze. Those scenes certainly felt like the build up to a romance. That aside, I loved that the movie featured a friendship rather than a relationship. Despite there not being a clarification about Ned's sexuality, it is often alluded that he is not straight (personally, I feel as though he is bisexual), it was still nice to have that particular representation. Gay people don't just date each other, they can be friends too. It's something media tends to forget.
I really liked this. Was a bit disappointed to realize that there wasn't going to be any romance but it was touching, funny and entertaining. It's a friendly coming of age/coming out movie.
Yeah, I had the same. During the first half of the movie I was hoping for them to get together. :') But at the same time it would have been a bit cliché.
I actually like how the story is leaning on the friendship side since Ned's sexuality wasnt really cleared up. If Ned's straight then that would have been more beautiful since that would depict a form of friendship between a straight guy and a gay person. Doesn't need to be romantic at all.
i know that this movie is a great representation of gay friendship but i was sooooo mad when they didn’t kiss in the “hug” scene with the whole rugby team like c’mon
Nicholas Galitzine has a really amazing accent range. His Irish accent in this film is unclockable, same with his american one in Chambers and he actually has an English accent out of character.
I love this movie!!! 😊❤️ Edit: Four years later, and I’ve seen this film close to 10 times. It’s absolutely fantastic. FUNNY AS HECK, heartfelt and important, I love how it depicts a friendship rather than a romance. Ned is a nerd who everyone thinks is gay although it never outright says his sexuality. Connor is a jock who is secretly gay. It’s a wonderful take on breaking the stereotypes and showing a wholesome queer friendship. Plus, Andrew Scott is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT 💯
I expected that they ended up together but what I witnessed in this movie was they had friends romance over being boyfriends. Which is unique coz mostly of this kind of 🌈 being couple in the end. A message that inspired so many people through this and a touching story. I admire Ned for being a great friend to Connor despite he was insulted and bullied at school included (Connor) Still, he sees a silver lining to be true to himself and not letting someone to force him to be like that. To Connor, you're lucky for having Ned as a pure friend. He always there for you, when you're doubting yourself and giving up but Ned comes to rescue you and inspire to believe in of what you are and can do. How ironic right? Ned remains unbreakable inspite of his bad experiences and the way he treated at school. His character is immaculate. This is universal representation to those people who are struggling and dealing pressure on them, identifying who really they are and not being controlled by someone else. I even like this more. Pure Masterpiece and truly recommend this to watch.😍😭
I see what are you doing RUclips. I spend my whole time watching Red, white and royal blue videos that's why this appears on my FYP. Nicholas is such a handsome man
I was watching Red, White, and Royal Blue thinking where have I seen this guy before? And when I looked him up, I was like, of course! Hahaha! He's definitely grown from this film.
I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Watched it 2x. Galitzine is just f**king gorgeous. He is equally sensational in "Red, White and Royal Blue", his latest film.
Just saw this movie now, It's wonderful! How had I never know of this until today!?!? I liked how they became friends instead of a romantic relationship like other movies, they are precious
love how it depicts a friendship between two queer boys without pursuing (an on-screen) relationship. while one might argue they had romantic tension throughout the film, it was pleasant to see people who share the same circumstance not be immediately thwarted from platonic friendship first! ⭐️
Such a beautiful film, I remember seeing this as the first lgbt movies of my life while my mind was a mess. What else can I say that hasn't been said, I guess thanks to this movie I never forget to love and accept my true self.
I actually kinda like it. I mean, God knows how many movies about girls feeling and relationships and family and shit. Maybe it's a good chance to see it from boys' perspective 😉 But sure, only if they picture it right. Looking that Moriarty is in it I can hope, rite? 😄
Me thinking how the hell did prince Henry reverse age until I saw that this was from 6 years ago omfg 💀 How it ended up in my fyp I've no clue, well ok maybe a little clue lol.
This movie was such a delight, each and every character was adorable. It is a movie about being true to yourself and not giving up on things you love and forging a meaningful friendship by shedding your insecurities ! I love rugby now :)))
I don't know why it feels like this came out much earlier than it did. It's such a special film, and still holds a place in my heart. Time for a rewatch, methinks...
I was so disappointed when I watched this and a romantic relationship wasn't developed between them! However it wasn't a romantic movie to begin with and in the end i saw that gorgeous man finally as a love interest in red white and royal blue 🤭❤️

100 true
So they're gay?
Conor is gay for sure, its the main character, we do not know if he is gay, it was never clarified
"We travel in packs" you just made my day 😂😂
the title make me thought it was Horror movie😂
Analia pereira same here
Analia pereira me to XD but sadly its not
Analia pereira
I know right? 😨😅
me too 😂😂😂
Analia pereira Same lol 😂 especially after watching a bunch of horror trailers before it😂😂
am i stupid or am i the only one who didnt understand anything from the trailer
same
I didn't understand much (because it's very noisy here atm) but I think it's safe to say it's about life of LGBTQ+ (gay guys in particular).
Most of trailers today reveal way too much of the plot, so you're never that surprised during the movie. I really like those trailers that pique your curiosity though ;)
SAME
Angelo yeah it was all over the place
Is that Moriarty giving an actual shit about other people xD
The Principle is Roose Bolton
Mia Borges omg i thought the same thing
Mia Borges ctfu💀💀
Nah, it's his alter ego, Richard Brooke. o_0
No, it's just him doing a social experiment. :)
ok.... but do they smash?
LilTRoberts1000 Nah, it's about friendship, being "popular and fake" vs. being "an authentic version of yourself".
Also it's fucking irritating how all friendships nowadays:
2 people = Automatically Dating.

so is that a no on the smashing then?
Gr4vity Punch lol
LilTRoberts1000 they're just friends . But I like to believe they have something more. This is why my friend fan fiction exists ;)

Please where can I download it
Sherlock will find way to make them both friends.
Moriarty's there!
Ryoko Hidashi moriarty is Amazing
#IBELIEVEINSHERLOCKANDJOHN
I like how they're just friends, most movies involving gay people usually are about them being friends, fight, then date and live happily every after. It shows how gays can be friends and not boyfriends.
yeah, that stood out for me too. It was pretty refreshing
ive seen those movies like twice but go off mariah
Tell me that is gay.
i hope so
mte
Brian González not that much
Did you see it? Is it good?
I did! I thought that it was really good, captures the life and situation of being queer and finding yourself during those years really well
Moriarty!!!!!
Penelope Views Hoooly shit I was waiting for someone to comment this. Thank you!!!
Me too....
Agree
Did you miss me? Did you miss me?
Isso
WHEN I SAW THE TITLE
*Handsome devil*
Me- *LUCIFER? IS THIS U?* 😂
Alexandra Iovan haha i really hoped that was him but when i saw the trailer i thought:OMG they used this cool title for such a bad movie.
Kotakk yeah😂
From Supernatural or Lucifer (Morningstar)?
Lambrini Thanou I like both of them but still i think Morningstar is more handsome😂😂
Alexandra Iovan I completely agree
"We all have one thing we are ashamed of" boi, I got like fifty
same
I thought this movie was going to end in suicide, I'm glad that wasn't the case. Such a beautiful movie about friendship. I'm glad it didn't have any intimacy or romance like billions of other LGBTQ films. It was innocent, just everyone trying to decipher and live their truth and I'm sure we can all relate to that. Loved it. I was a closeted boy and rugby is a huge part of our culture here in New Zealand but I hated playing it growing up because of who I knew I was. I would always get teased by the other players for being a little feminine, tried to fake injuries so I wouldn't have to play because I couldn't endure the nasty things they would say but my dad made sure I played. I'm 29 now and things like that don't phase me anymore. It was rough then but I'm out and content. Like the English teacher said, "It gets better". Anyway, I feel like this comment is spiraling off in all directions, maybe because I'm a little tipsy, so bye haha
WHY THIS MOVIE IS SO UNDERRATED?? THIS MOVIE IS SO GOOD
RIGHT
"modern life is rubbish" 😁
I know right? BLUR!!!
YEEEEEAH
shit moriarty's alive, gotta call sherlock!
😂good one man
So Nicholas has played three characters who are either gay or bi. I love him more.
maybe one day there'll be a gay movie where the main character doesn't get beaten up by jocks
Michelle Fairebanks call me by your name
TRUE XD
God's own country, CMBYN and etc
YelynaCeyzella Lahai loved goc
me too..

Agreed. I think they’re just questioning.
usucktoo they're both gay... so is a teacher in it.

Rihanna And Little Mix no you’re gay

This remind me "in a heartbeat"...
It's the main character's appearance isn't it?
exactly
Onceforever ikr xD
It's the live action version
this was heartstopper for gay people
exactly
Can’t wait to see Nicholas Galitzine in Red White and Royal Blue ❤️🤍💙
I'm here because I am stalking Nicholas Galitzine.

I agree. it's actually very interesting to see two gay kids in a movie still end up as "just friends"; it's pretty unique.
Yeah, I had the same. During the first half of the movie I was hoping for them to get together. :') But at the same time it would have been a bit cliché.
Yeah. Kinda bugs me too. They can play the romance part very subtle but they leave it like that as them just being friends.
I actually liked that it didn't turn romantic!!

I thought I clicked the trailer to "heartstopper" for a second-
i know that this movie is a great representation of gay friendship but i was sooooo mad when they didn’t kiss in the “hug” scene with the whole rugby team like c’mon
just watched the film today, great film! 8/10 I came out of the cinema smiling !
Eva S spoiler alert! no they don't but their is a bit angst in it
so is it gay or ..??
Sinéad Carroll Please tell me it's gay
Sinéad Carroll can you tell me the web site? thank you 😊 in advance.
Albryan Joaquin I actually saw it in the cinema, couldn't find it online either sorry
Conor is the sexiest thing to walk this earth
A movie about friendship, not romantic love. LOVED IT!
i loved this movie and yes it is gay
Do they get together?
Nicholas Galitzine has a really amazing accent range. His Irish accent in this film is unclockable, same with his american one in Chambers and he actually has an English accent out of character.
I love this movie!!! 😊❤️

I watched this multiple times and I'm literally just realizing it was Nichols lol

Probably what literally inspired heartstopper.
I see what are you doing RUclips. I spend my whole time watching Red, white and royal blue videos that's why this appears on my FYP. Nicholas is such a handsome man
No because that is literally the exact same thing RUclips is doing to me 🤣🤣🤣
sameee!
it's almost as if there is an algorithm analysing our preferences. we are being watched. scary
I was watching Red, White, and Royal Blue thinking where have I seen this guy before? And when I looked him up, I was like, of course! Hahaha! He's definitely grown from this film.
i knew i recognized prince henry from somewhere!!!
Nothing like Irish people
Libby Clancy thanks
you couldn't be more wrong
pop
It's a good movie saw it on Netflix
I REALLY enjoyed this movie. Watched it 2x. Galitzine is just f**king gorgeous. He is equally sensational in "Red, White and Royal Blue", his latest film.
Just saw this movie now, It's wonderful! How had I never know of this until today!?!? I liked how they became friends instead of a romantic relationship like other movies, they are precious
Some movies just makes you feel kinda cool inside... It's one of those kind....
This film gave me blue balls. Would 1 kiss have been so bad?
It was some real bullshit. I was waiting the entire film for SOMETHING, anything.
@@L_Martin tell me about it. I recon they couldn't have any romance in the film to make it more marketable as its about 2 school boys.
Such a BRILLIANT MOVIE with a great message for kids and adults. We need more films like this.
Now I remember why Nicholas Galitzine feels familiar to me 😅. I've watched this ages ago!
"You spend your whole life trying to be someone else, who's gonna be you?" This really spoke to me on a different level.
I saw 1 seconds of Andrew Scott in the trailer: it's gonna be a good movie
I just realized I'd seen Nick in this and Purple Hearts, now I know why his face was familiar in RWRB
Really good movie - Saw it yesterday in the cinema!
Yuri!!! on Ice, Rugby version ft. Archie Andrews.
One of the best movie I've ever watched
still one of the best lgbt movie for me
I can't believe Nicholas got Henry's role for RWRB!! T____T
love how it depicts a friendship between two queer boys without pursuing (an on-screen) relationship. while one might argue they had romantic tension throughout the film, it was pleasant to see people who share the same circumstance not be immediately thwarted from platonic friendship first! ⭐️
Such a beautiful film, I remember seeing this as the first lgbt movies of my life while my mind was a mess. What else can I say that hasn't been said, I guess thanks to this movie I never forget to love and accept my true self.
Red,white & royal bleu 🤝Fleabag 🤝GOT🤝dating amber
I really loved thid film, didnt know what to expect, but yes it made me cry towards the end.
"If you spent your whole life being someone else..who's ganna be you!!" I love this ❤
and this is before he became a prince in red white collar blue.
I actually kinda like it. I mean, God knows how many movies about girls feeling and relationships and family and shit. Maybe it's a good chance to see it from boys' perspective 😉
But sure, only if they picture it right. Looking that Moriarty is in it I can hope, rite? 😄
Some of the dialogues here are life inspiring. Wow. Well written
Me: alright, looks pretty good
Me: *sees Andrew Scott*
Me: THIS MOVIE LOOKS LIKE A MASTERPIECE FHFBKFHSBKDS WHERE DO I WATCH
MORIARTY?!?!?!
엥? red white and royal blue 나온 분 아닌가요? Isnt he the actor from red white and royal blue ??
I just watched this film on Netflix (US) yesterday, and it's great! It's very charming and quirky; the whole thing juts flies by. 10/10
Me thinking how the hell did prince Henry reverse age until I saw that this was from 6 years ago omfg 💀 How it ended up in my fyp I've no clue, well ok maybe a little clue lol.

This movie was such a delight, each and every character was adorable. It is a movie about being true to yourself and not giving up on things you love and forging a meaningful friendship by shedding your insecurities ! I love rugby now :)))
I don't know why it feels like this came out much earlier than it did. It's such a special film, and still holds a place in my heart. Time for a rewatch, methinks...
if you spend your whole life being someone else, who's gonna be you?
Loved it! It was adorable.
MORIARTY
0:36 I'm like aaahh..... Moriarty!
I thought it was emo Peter Parker (Tobey) in the thumbnail
IT'S MORIATY
This movie is amazing, especially the soundtrack.
Nicholas Galitzine is one of the most beautiful creature in the world.
I was like yeah I could watch thi- OMG ANDREW SCOTT * watches it immediately *
Andrew Scott ❤️
This movie is in my "best movies i ever watched" list.
"I spend your whole life being someone else. Who's going to be you" damn that hit me hard
OMG I LEGIT STARTED CRYING WHEN I SAW MORIARTY, NOW IM TWICE AS EXCITED TO SEE THIS MOVIE IF THATS POSSIBLE
I was so disappointed when I watched this and a romantic relationship wasn't developed between them! However it wasn't a romantic movie to begin with and in the end i saw that gorgeous man finally as a love interest in red white and royal blue 🤭❤️
MORIARITY
All i can see is Andrew Scott Andrew Scott and Andrew Scott ♥♥♥
I've just been waiting for them to kiss?
Why is everyone obsessed with the lack of romance in the movie? Its not even labeled in romance, its drama.
When he said, " You spend your whole life to be someone else who's gonna be you ." Made me want to watch this Handsome Devil.
i can smell bromance here
Did you watch the movie already? I already watched it. Just to avoid spoilers to you hahah
