another Trivia about the movie: Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet told this story in many interviews about how their first rehearsal involved a serious ice-breaker. “We get to the page in the script and all it says is, ‘Elio and Oliver roll around in the grass, making out’, Hammer recalled. “And we kind of look at each other like, ‘Alright, here we go.'” The 31-year-old continued: “So we start making out, and making out, and making out, and no one’s staying stop. “All of a sudden we both kind of stop and look and [the director] had just walked away and left us right there, rolling around in the grass. It was a bit of an icebreaker.” “It destroyed the ice,” Chalamet quipped.
Not enough people talk about the music in this movie. Mystery of love and visions of Gideon are both incredible. I'm tired of gay movies having tragedies. this movie was a refreshing change.
While all of the music is PHENOMENAL in this film, my favorite songs were all by Sufjan Stevens, and this movie was how I discovered him! I instantly went and got not only the vinyl for this film but Sufjan Steven's vinyl as well. It is one of the most frequently visited in my collection. The Carrie & Lowell Album just to clarify =^_^=
@@deadsetondreams1988 My introduction to Sufjan Stevens was Seven Swans playing in a RAY DONOVAN episode. I was gripped, and I have been listening to him since. Carrie and Lowell is awesome!
@@jamk2668 1st of all I'm assuming you are talking about the book and not the movie. I've only started the very beginning of the book so I don't know how much has changed book vs film-wise. Because the ages are raised in the film. Regardless, the age of consent in Italy is 14. They were both consenting and Elio was mostly the one pursuing Oliver in the film. Oliver even told Elio to stop when they were 1st questioning everything in the field. But Elio still touched Oliver's pants. And regardless of that we are all specifically talking about the music in the film, in this particular comment thread. While you seem to be just trying to speak about negatives, we are on a whole different wavelength.
In the book, they elaborated more on why Elio breaks down when Oliver eats the peach (in the book, he actually DOES eat it), and its because he was embarrassed that he was caught doing something so weird and Oliver knew he was embarrassed, so he ate it as a way of going along with it to make Elio feel better, and Elio couldn't believe someone would go so far to make him feel accepted, to make him feel like he wasn't being judged. That's why he got emotional, because he realized how much Oliver gets him, and he's about to leave.
Also to make him realise he is not “sick” which is referenced several time in the book but sadly only emphasised once in the book, it’s so sad of Elio thinking this of himself but I believe it’s all part of his sexual awakening and understanding of himself, coming of age, coming out and his understanding about love, it’s also hugely a cultural belief coming from a Jewish Italian family, this book is a masterpiece ❤️
The way Timothee massaged his throat at the farewell scene... It's exactly how it feels when a lot of emotions are welling up and you feel a giant knot in your throat and you're about to cry. These acting choices are impeccable.
So true, not enough people talk about that choice. It created asuch a sense of desperate restraint so as to not bleed all over with heartfelt emotions.
Timothee arrived in Italy early to learn to play the piano and speak Italian. That is definitely him playing the piano. Btw, in the book the piano scene between them is described as intellectual flirting. So you're right.... they were playing... flirting with each other. Last little tidbit... Timotheé had a small earpiece in his ear during that final scene. He coordinated the emotions with the song by listening to Sufjan Stevens in real time. That's acting. Won him a best lead actor Oscar nomination that year. Great reaction guys!!
The ending was so heart achingly sad, imho. The playing of the credits as Elio has to process Oliver's news was played with such maturity by Timothee. The song was utterly bittersweet and I think I've played it quite a few toooooo many times!!
Call me by your name really put Timothee on the map. This is his only Academy Award nomination (so far), this film made him a huge star, he was on every magazine cover everywhere, every legendary film director was talking about him in every interview. This was way before Dune, and it's so shocking to me hearing, 'I've never heard of this film before' from cinephiles... You guys should definitely react to him in 'The King' (he is exceptional in it, and his British accent is incredible), 'Beautiful Boy' (one of his best performances), 'Little Women', 'Bones and All', 'Miss Stevens', 'A Rainy Day in New York'.
I still feel CMBYN is his best performance. But do think he's great in those you mention.. His English accent wanders across the Atlantic a few times in The King, but it's pretty good.
@@eldiran2 I'm a Londoner. His accent is fine, but it just wanders on some words, it's not perfect. It's not shade, American actors don't always do great English accents, his is better than most. His performances are always good and I think he's amazing in Wonka and Dune 2.
Armie Hammer has some personal issues but there's no denying he was great in this movie. His chemistry with Chalamet was fantastic. Of course Chalamet was incredible in this movie!
"some personal issues" you mean a controlling abusive, cannibalistic, narcissistic psychpathic sadistic rapist?...I guess no big deal though because he's a good actor with superficial charm who's goodlooking.
@@janx8695 Not even one of those allegations can withstand close scrutiny. Not that you care. The plain and simple truth is that these are scorned women who accused him of abuse in retaliation for being dumped. It was only AFTER they got dumped that they conveniently and suddenly took issue with his fetishes and cried abuse. The LAPD couldn't even charge him with any crimes because the evidence against him wasn't just flimsy...it was laughably uncredible.
I'm always a fan of when movies choose to put the camera close on a great actor's face, and then just KEEP it there for the full moment - letting it linger so that we can truly live in that moment and that feeling. So simple, but so powerful.
It was incredible! Sadly the most important part of this monologue in the book was missed out and it’s SUCH A SHAME!!! In the book he says at the end “I would be a terrible father if you felt you couldn’t come to speak to me about this, or if I HADNT LEFT THE DOOR OPEN ENOUGH for you too” that last bit changes everything navigating such special delicate feelings and conversation! So sad it wasn’t in the movie!
This is definitely one of Timothée’s best performances but a very underrated performance of his that was the first thing I saw him in and made me a fan is the movie Miss Stevens. Truly an incredible film that he also puts so much nuance into his performance in. Also his French is so natural because he’s bilingual and grew up speaking French in his household!
This film got 4 Oscar nominations, 'best actor in a leading role' (Timothee Chalamet), 'best original song' ('Mistery of love'), 'best adapted screenplay', 'best film'. Won for the screenplay. 👏
I loved the whole hot summer vibe in this movie. The silence. The boredom. The solace. Born in the 80ties, its really such a childhood trip to watch. So different from today's busy times with everyone always on a phone.
I’m Italian and in the 80’ I was the same age as Elio was in the movie, not only the atmosphere but every single detail was spot on, the backpack brand that everyone was using for school, the food on the table, even the chocolate had the 80 packaging…. I could go on and on.. Was an incredible bitter sweet walk down memory lane.
@@voyance4elle It's a whole thing but during my time growing up I always had trouble speaking my mind, I rather kept quiet instead of sharing my opinion even about the smallest things cause I was so so insecure. My so called ''friends'' shut me down and basically I just felt like my opinions didn't matter. I wouldn't dream about telling someone that I liked them etc. I've come a looong way since then but that tattoo just reminds me every day that I shouldn't be afraid to speak cause the things we keep locked inside will eventually kill us. It sort of confirms that you won't die if you speak your mind, but it will kill you if you don't. We interpret things differently of course but that's what I took from this and that's what makes it personal😊
I wanna get it tatted so bad also some lines from bones and all stuck with me I would LOVE to get them all tatted they have a special place in my heart frl🥺
I watched it in theatres and others I think felt the same way… it felt so intimate and as an audience member I felt like I was violating their privacy. Lol in a way. It was beautiful
i could never finish this movie, i first watched it while i was drunk, til this day, i never finished it, the ending messed me up, i only watch the first half of the movie.
I swear this is a universal experience…the same thing happened to me. It was so hard to process but also so easy to process. It was truly unlike any movie I had ever seen. It gives me such a surreal feeling and I’ll never forget the first time I watched it at midnight on random weekend. The chemistry in my brain was changed lol.
This movie has such great little moments and scenes that mean so much. Like the scene where Elio shaves and gets all dressed up for dinner because he’s trying to impress Oliver, but Oliver doesn’t end up going and you can see Elio is annoyed and hurt. Anyone who has tried to get someone’s attention knows that feeling. Just great.
@@bywaternyc7856 Yes, definitely. I discover something new every time I watch it. For example, the second time I watched it, I noticed that Oliver caressed Elio's face just before their first kiss, admiring his beauty the same way he had the face of the statue that was dredged out of the water. Then the third time I watched it, it became clear that Elio's mom definitely knew something was going on between them...when she read the story to him about the handsome young knight who found himself so humbled and speechless that he was totally unable to bring up the subject of his love...the conversation she had with Elio where she noticed he was wearing his Star of David necklace like Oliver...the looks she kept giving Oliver and Elio at the breakfast table the morning after they slept together the first time...and on and on.
In the book this is based on, Elio doesn't speak French but it was incorporated because of Timothée Chalamet's French fluency and French American background. He learned Italian, relearned piano, and guitar for this role. Whenever Elio is talking to his mom or the girls he is speaking French but whenever he talks to the household staff, visitors, and locals it is in Italian. This movie also took a little while being made, they first approached Chalamet when he was 17/18 years old about it but it kept getting delayed. He was going to put off college for this but ended up enrolling. The original setting is more of a Riviera setting but Luca changed it to Crema which was near his home. The cast used to have dinners at his house in Italy while filming. Also the book takes place in 1987 but Luca changed it to 1983 because he considered it still an innocent time when the world wasn't as corrupted by the 80s politics and HIV/AIDs. He wanted the story to be free from the chaos of the 80s. Just some trivia~
The decision to change location was not arbitrary, it was mostly a matter of budget, which was very tight. In any case, I have been to both locations, the ones in the book and those in the movie, and I think that the choice for the adaptation ended up adding a lot to the story, because in the Riviera everything is more extroverted and spectacular, but in the midland , the story becomes more intimate, close and authentic.
I usually don't comment. But I have searched far and wide for reactions to this. By far the best! So thoughtful, insightful, and picked up on tons of things most reactors don't. Made me happy to see you got a lot from this film.
This is the most realistic depiction I’ve seen of a gay story. Life is so nuanced especially when coming from a foreign culture and it so often ends in tragedy
i mean...realistic for some gay people maybe lol. it's not realistic for all of us to meet extremely handsome foreign strangers who fall in love with us in the italian countryside 😂
this movie really did something to me when i first saw it. i think about the “is it better to speak or to die” quote and the dad’s monologue almost everyday
I didn't expect to be reminded of the exciting, fleeting experiences I had in my teens and early twenties. The father's monologue at the end was so beautiful and true. Feel how incredible it was in addition to the pain of it being over.
I had my first relationship, love, and heartbreak the time this movie came out. I just turned 18, went off to college, and was so emotional. It was also brief, 2 months, but incredibly intense. I feel so grateful that this movie accompanied me through my grief and taught me how wonderful it was to have felt something like that.
@michellebarry1555, I had the opposite response. It left me cold and ruined the movie for me. I had focused on loving the romance, acting, scenery, etc and tried to ignore the problematic parts. But that piece meant the third undeveloped and last woman in the show was thrown under the bus. They were objects to practice sex on. The Dad's talk was the step too far. It was disrespectful to his wife of many decades. He created a secret bond with his son based on elevating what was basically a hot summer teen fling. I don't think he could have actually known how deep the relationship was anyway. Blecchh.
As a hetero person, this movie is just so beautiful in the way the main characters express their feelings and love for each other. A very well made, very touching film. Timothee looked very familiar to me, then I remembered he was Murphy's brother Tom from Interstellar. Armie Hammer was great too, don't want to cancel out this incredible performance because of his personal life news.
Timothee Chalamet was raised speaking French and English. His name is actually pronounced (Teem-Oh-Tay), but he has gotten used to being called Tim. He learned Italian phrasing for the film. He knew how to play the Piano but he learned Classical pieces for this film- that being said, they only had one rehearsal day before shooting began. He plays a 17 year old, he was 21 during filming- he jokes about having to get a full body wax. 😂 He has always been a master artist.
No doubt, this is one of the best performances of Chalamet, but I think that you can not miss what he did in BEAUTIFUL BOY, MISS STEVENS and LITTLE WOMEN. This movie is pure magic, I was in all the locations last year and are breathtaking, by the way it WAS Luca Guadagnino homeland, he used to live in Crema, the main location. About their chemistry, they told that Armie and Timothée have just one rehearsal and was the first kiss scene, so Luca gave the order for them to start making out, after a long time the actors realized that he was not giving the order to cut, so they stopped; only to notice that the director had gone and left them alone, kissing.
Thank you for this. I love, love the way you two are moved by the film, especially at the end. I'm SO glad you finally saw it! Yes, CMBYN is the film that announced Timothée to the world. I had a very fortunate experience with it; I spent a weekend in NYC in Dec. 2017 and saw a sold-out preview of the movie; and guess who was present at this screening for a Q&A after it? That's right---Timmy himself. When he jumped up on that stage like a young colt to talk to us, the audience rose and cheered; many cried. During the session I was able to ask him a question and make a comment; it moved him a lot. We got to meet and say hello when it was all over. We embraced. Ask me if I, or any of the people there, will ever forget that late Saturday afternoon! Blessings to you two guys--you're quite wonderful. :)
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s like a painting on film. The story, characters, acting , music and cinematography. It’s all comes together perfectly. Thanks for posting. ✌🏻❤️✌🏻
As much as I love Gary Oldman, Chalamet should have won an Oscar just for the end scene alone...Incredible acting and Stulbarg and Hammer should have at least Oscar nominations for this...Best movie in 2017❤
One of the best films of all time. Michael Stuhlbarg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. That monologue at the end touches my heart so much. Perfect delivery. It won best screenplay, James Ivory (formerly of Merchant and Ivory, who has made the best gay cinema. He was 89 and broke the record set by Ennio Morriconi at 87. The scenes where Elio is waiting for Oliver and the colors fade and was perfect for what could be going through Elio’s head… was an accident. The film got damaged and the cinematographer said leave it in! It’s perfect! And it was one of the most beautiful, mesmerizing scenes in the film. The scene where the two of them are at the war monument is astounding…. And it was Armie Hammer’s idea. Luca Guadagnino couldn’t figure out how to edit the scene and Armie said do it in one take and let there conversation be far apart and then come together at the end when Elio basically told him I love you. Yes, Timothee Chalamet did play the piano and speak those languages. He was first hired and all other cast members hired according how well they mixed with Chalamet. Sufjan Stevens got two Best Original song nominations. One was “Mystery of Love” and the other was “Visions of Gideon”. This is a time when the Oscars got it wrong. One of them should have won. The film itself, did win The AFI Movie of the Year (2018.) Armie Hammer said his most difficult scene was at the dance. Of course in films during party/dance sequences, there is no sound. You can really tell it when the two girls acted like they loved the new song the DJ was playing. There were no sound cues and Armie had to dance like loved it and was carefree. He hated doing that. The Director wanted Chalamet and Hammer to get used to being intimate so they went to that location and said ok, make out. Once they started, it became very natural and easy for them. They were really getting into it. When they looked up, the crews and Director had packed up and left, leaving them to keep making out. It got 262 nominations and won 101 of them. 😅As the credits roll and Chalamet squatted in front of the fireplace and cried over his memories and lost love, he asked for an ear piece that kept playing “Visions of Gideon” over and over so that he could feel the heartbreak and react accordingly. It turned out beautifully!! I loved Armie Hammer and Michael Stuhlbarg and in my opinion were the best part of the film, acting wise.
Great reaction guys, I was about the same age as these characters in the 80s when I came out, so I could really identify with them. I live in Palm Springs, Ca, where we have an annual film festival the first of the year. The first night they have an awards gala events where the stars arrive on the red carpet and fans can stand across the street and get pics and shake hands with the stars nice enough to come over. The first year I saw Timothee , he was receiving a rising star award , around 2016. He very sheepishly came over to greet fans , his hair was over his eyes and was clearly new to all of this. The next year, he was a total pro, enjoying the interaction with fans, shaking hands, posing for pics etc. He shook my hand, paused and thanked me for coming out. I later watched the local news, where he was interviewed and asked why he spent so much time greeting fans, and he said because he is a fan and understands how exciting it is. He is a great actor and great person!!
I thought the fact that there weren’t any obstacles stood out as a great thing as it was different to almost every other gay movie. Why does there need to be obstacles just because they’re gay. Not everyone in movies are homophobic.
"i wonder how they prepped for the intamacy in this" everyone whos a fan of the movie: soooooo (lica the director om the first day told them to just make out and when they finally just made out he just left them alone and when they stopped they realized he was gone) both the book and the movie are so beautifully done, both some of ny favorites ever the original length of the movie was over 4 hours and i most definitely would've watched that as well also theres a version with timothee and michael commentary and its also so good
That ending hit really hard in the cinema. I remember people clapping, and weeping also. I still think this is his best performance, much as I adore Wonka and Dune 1 and 2.., the whole thing is a masterpiece. You can see why he got so many awards. And I do think it's the best chemistry I've ever seen between two actors. Armie is really great in this role. I agree with you about the parents. It always amazes me when people say the parents should stop it, since when in history has trying to stop a teenager ever worked? The age gap is 17-24..BTW. I'm sure loads of people have said that in comments.. Bill Paxton was a friend of the people who made this film, there's photos of him visiting them on set in Italy.
Stuhlbargs speech at the end is honestly one of the most beautiful, most true things I’ve ever heard and put to film and I was so mad he didn’t get a supporting Oscar nomination for it.
It was sublime. He almost reminded me of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, when he told Will about his wife who passed. It was poignant, heartfelt and profound. Very deserving of the Oscar.
still continues to be my favourite movie of all time, it’s so authentic, it doesn’t even feel like a movie it feels like elios thoughts, feelings, emotions being told through some sort of visual poetry. definitely reminiscent of a diary entry like you said, and all of the romantic scenes feel so intimate. the book is so beautiful too and this movie perfectly encapsulated it!
This was such a powerful film. I don't know if Timothée will again get such a role to showcase his range and acting ability. He shines in everything he does, but this film was tailor-made for his talent. Guadagnino toned down the raw sexuality of the book, but did give us a remarkable depiction of first love, obsession, sensuality, and setting. The confession scene in the square was particularly effective - Armie suggested they film it in one take (over 4 minutes) and boy did it pay off. The use of music, both classical and compositions by Sufjan Stevens, were inspired choices - I'm now a fan of Ravel's The Fairy Garden, heard at the end of the father's talk with Elio and the change of seasons into winter. Interesting side-note: the author of the book, André Aciman, appeared as one half of the couple who visited Elio's family in the second half.
Beautiful reaction to an even more beautiful story. I so appreciate the film makers allowing scenes to breathe; not just rushing to the next dialogue. What wasn’t said was equally important as what was. I watched the movie for the first time this week. Seeing your reactions kept it fresh in my mind. I felt many of the same emotions that you experienced. His mom. His dad. ❤ Calling his mom to come get him from the station platform. I broke when his voice broke. Then turning next to the conversation with his dad. Such a beautiful piece of cinema. Thank you for sharing. 🖤
I had the same response to the voice-breaking moment in the train station. Another quietly devastating moment happens at the end of the peach tussle with Oliver, when Elio says "I don't want you to go."
The music and cinematography is beautiful I've watched this movie so many times that I remember every single line word by word...this used to be my favorite movie I watched it everytime I painted probably watch over 74+ times.
74+....wow! The year the film came out, the callmebyyourname subreddit was insane! Never in my life have I seen a film so passionately analyzed and picked apart. No frame left unturned! Everyone on the sub must have seen the film at least a dozen times.
Bro, i watched this film in the summer of 2018 and since then it's been one of my favorite films due to the direction and cinematography. A great soundtrack and adaptation of the book too, it's really cool that channels here started reacting/watching the film for the first time.
Luca, the director, met Armie and Timothy in the city 3 months before starting to shoot the film, Timothy took the opportunity to learn piano and Italian and together with Armie they began to share time and places, while riding their bicycles around the place. There is a lot of information about how Luca produced and thought about the film, which was shot completely chronologically, something unusual or practically impossible for the film industry. Perfect movie, so far. Thanks for the reaction: you really watch the movie.
When I saw the movie in the theatre, that final shot made me uncomfortable. I suddenly felt as if I was intruding on a private moment as Elio cried by the fire. It felt so personal that I had to look away for a few seconds. What a performance by Chalamet!
To answer your question “Call Me By Your Name” made Timothee Chalamet a new young rising star. Putting Timothee on the Hollywood map. Nominated for a Academy award as lead actor in 2018. CMBYN won the Oscar for best screenplay in 2018. Much deserved Oscar. Thank you for reacting to this beautiful love story.
During the closing credits, they just let the camera roll, and Elio goes from being very sad, to remembering the good times. You kind of turned off the video a little too soon. Timothee at the very end, breaks the 4th wall with a look that goes right through you, and you realize he is going to be OK.
That's what you got out of that? I got the sense that he was stoically trying...but failing...to hold back those desolate tears. Tears of sorrow...pain...devastation. He was crushed. Heartbroken. He was going to be anything but OK ever again. He would never be the same.
@@marionsutcliffe1119 Read the end of the novel (not covered by the film) and the sequel to the novel, Find Me. He’s never ok again. He spends the next 20 years emotionally crippled, forever longing for Oliver. There’s a passage in Find Me that takes place 10 years after they parted where Elio takes his dad to the last place he was ever happy, the spot where they last kissed: “It marks a moment where for a short while I held life in my hands and was never the same afterward. Sometimes I think that my life stopped here and will only restart here. As I leaned against this very wall, I knew, drunk as I was, that this, with Oliver holding me, was my life, that everything that had come beforehand with others was not even a rough sketch or the shadow of a draft of what was happening to me. And now ten years later, when I look at this wall under this old streetlamp, I am back with him and I swear to you, nothing has changed. In thirty, forty, fifty years I will feel no differently. I have met many women and more men in my life, but what is watermarked on this very wall overshadows everyone I’ve known. When I come to be here, I can be alone or with people, with you for instance, but I am always with him.”

This movie is a masterpiece. It makes me smile. I regret not having seen it in theaters. I don't think Timothy will ever be better. His Oscar nomination for this was well-earned. That end shot was just the perfect punctuation ❣️
The best acting movie of 2017 without a doubt. I went to the this movie 10 times in the theatre. The ending with Elio kills me everytime I see this flim. BRAVO!! Thanks for your insightful and beautiful review!!
@@stephaniemoore9122The Academy jurors wouldn’t want to insult Oldman by letting a neophyte, no street creds actor to win the Oscars. It’s politics, as always.
@@CinqueTerre558 I agree for some reason they did give it to the actor that played Queen but he didn’t do the singing & it wasn’t worthy They do give it to the young ladies never to young men (It’s like the LDS ) lol never to the guys I hope he at least gets nominated for Dine 2 he carried both movies he was rlly good I’ve seen it again u see so much more. Dylan should be good So I hope for him.
Forever will be sad he didn’t win the Oscar over Oldman. Love this movie so much, from the music to the script, everything just worked for me. Think the monologue Michael Stuhlberg gives towards the end is one of the best of all time. Excited to hear your guys thoughts
The flashy camera effect at around 39:06 was actually just a chemical/processing error when they were developing the film. They ended up liking the look of it so much they kept it in the final edit instead of using a different take or redoing it.
The trip sequence is so much better in the book, they go to Rome and Elio tracks all the places they visited, all the places they loved each other, so is much more heartbreaking when they get separated. But Elio’s reaction is really on point on the movie tho
'Call Me By Your Name' is the first gay movie I've ever seen and I'm thankful that it was this one..., truly amazing and the speech from the father at the end there made me tear up, ngl. Timothée Chalament killed it. He was also phenomenal in DUNE PART 2 which I watched two days ago. People will remember this guy!
The credits scene... that scene lives with me in my soul forever, because, as I assume to a lot of us, we all have lived that moment, the most real moment I had ever with a movie.
Also, there’s a whole epilogue in the book where they meet each other again 30 years later or something like that. There’s also a sequel book telling how they ended up together again and for good. They’re endgame after all. Hope they revisit it some years from now, it would be really good to see that continuation on the screen
The book this film is based on is equally as beautiful. It's written entirely from Elio's perspective. What is kind of cool is that Armie Hammer read the Audiobook. So we got the hear "Oliver" recite Aciman's beautiful prose and experience him falling in love with the character he played in the film.
yea that is timmy playing he practiced for a few weeks with a coach but he played a little as a kid. and yea this kinda was where he became a superstar. overnight he went from unknonwn to the youngest best actor oscar nominee in 80 years and was nominated for every major award and tons of critic awards and won the gotham and indie spirit awards among other critic awards if you want another excellent timmy movie watch beautiful boy it’s based on a real story of a drug addicted son and also stars steve carell and tim got all the precursor to the oscar award noms for that too but they snubbed him for another oscar nom bc they def didn’t wanna give him back to back noms and if you say you like romance horror watch his movie with taylor russel Bones and All. it’s like romantic cannibals road tripping across the usa in reagan’s 1980s. it’s fantastic
I love how subtle the movie is, no loud music and the story isn't fast but rather slow. My very first gay story movie and i loved it so much. Coming from small town as closeted gay man with very religious family, i remember watching this movie at night in my phone cause i just "discovered" that i am gay and finally able to accepted the fact about it and not freak out😄 . This movie is a very special movie for me
i love Timothées performance in this , if you want another good performance from him i would recommend beautiful boy a Movie i watched recently and broke me to be honest
The dad's speech at the end gets me emotional every time. I haven't watched this movie in years and even now I couldn't help but tear up. Such incredible acting.
My favourite thing about the film is that Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs is Oliver's anthem and the opening line is "There's an army on the floor" and Armie Hammer is dancing his big face off on the dance floor.
I don't know if it was the first scene they shot since most of the film was shot in chronological order. However, the first kiss (but not necessarily the grabbing of the crotch) may have been the first scene they rehearsed. The director wanted them to get comfortable making out with each other and disappeared in the process. Clearly, his technique worked. 😈
The whole cast, the parents, Timothee and Armie all did an amazing job. I was hesitant to watch this movie at first and now I’ll always remember this movie my whole life. Love it sm❤
One of the great things about a reaction like this is how those of us who have seen it (too many times to count) can find little memories of the first time we watched it (for me, it was the Vancouver Film Festival in late 2017 and I was blown away). Glad you liked it, glad you saw all the nuances that some reactions miss (for example, the scene in the square where they cross the statue and meet on the other side, an incredible piece of work). Thanks for this.
that’s not true. they said many times during press for this film they filmed the entire movie in chronological order. they REHEARSED this scene first and that misfit be what you’re thinking of?
Thank you guys for reacting to this film. It is one of my favourites, i always cry when i watch it, and i love to see people watching it for the first time, and it is an excuse for me to watch it again. 🥰 thx. Im from Brazil.
timotheé did in fact had to learn italian but he’s fluent in french since some of his relatives and even parents i think are french. also his name “Timotheé” is a very french name😂
His father is french and Timmy spend childhood summers in France with the family ... her dad is a diplomatic member of an international organisation 🧏🏻♂️
Despite being nominated for Best Director three times and directing three Best Picture nominees, the only Oscar that James Ivory won was for writing the screenplay for this movie. He remains the oldest person (89) to win a competitive Oscar category.
I watched this movie a few years ago and it took my heart. I am a huge marvel fan and mostly watch action stuff but those looooong camera shots are calming and beautiful. At the start the sequence at the breakfast table was mindblowing to me because it was so much fun to watch but without any hectic or/and cuts. Just a slow evolving scene, it calmed my mind. The art of cinema, that has almost did go extinct in the past 10 years. I love that both of you did mention the beauty of this movie several times.
I watched this movie once it aired on Netflix and I was immediately mesmerized by the feeling of this movie. It is so relatable to anyone who fell in love during a coming of age period. Beautiful scenery and music too ❤
I love this video so much, it feels like I’m watching with friends, this is my favourite movie and it makes me so happy that people like it like me too, all the details everything. ❤❤
I also love how the movie just feels so carefree and dreamlike. It really opens up the atmosphere to create an ideal first love that's passionate and fleeting. It was amazing
The book destroyed me even more than the movie did. It is even more devastating (also not long, about 250pages). It is a masterpiece. And the scene of the father talking to Elio is basically 1-1 from the book. Also in this convo when Elio is asking his father if mom knows, as I understood it, he´s asking about his father "almost had what he has", not if she knows about Elio 🙂
While You Were Sleeping, You've Got Mail, Never Been Kissed, 13 Going on 30, Just Like Heaven, The Lake House and, more recently, Red, White and Royal Blue. 🧡
This is actually one case where I liked the movie better than the book. I couldn’t fully believe the characters while reading, but Timmy made me believe the story.
I wish this movie had come out sooner. If I had heard his dad’s speech at the end when I was Elio’s age, I think my whole life would have been different 💔
These two men are extremely perceptive considering they are seeing this movie for the first time. I also like the way these two guys interact with each other, like long time friends. They notice relationships, artistic movie shots, music, settings, time periods, Easter eggs. They know and understand movie making. I know nothing of movie making, but I love this movie and I enjoy these two critics’ point of view. I actually watched this review three times!

another Trivia about the movie: Armie Hammer and Timothee Chalamet told this story in many interviews about how their first rehearsal involved a serious ice-breaker. “We get to the page in the script and all it says is, ‘Elio and Oliver roll around in the grass, making out’, Hammer recalled. “And we kind of look at each other like, ‘Alright, here we go.'”
The 31-year-old continued: “So we start making out, and making out, and making out, and no one’s staying stop.
“All of a sudden we both kind of stop and look and [the director] had just walked away and left us right there, rolling around in the grass. It was a bit of an icebreaker.” “It destroyed the ice,” Chalamet quipped.
Not enough people talk about the music in this movie. Mystery of love and visions of Gideon are both incredible. I'm tired of gay movies having tragedies. this movie was a refreshing change.
It's true. Sufjan Stevens is awesome!
While all of the music is PHENOMENAL in this film, my favorite songs were all by Sufjan Stevens, and this movie was how I discovered him! I instantly went and got not only the vinyl for this film but Sufjan Steven's vinyl as well. It is one of the most frequently visited in my collection. The Carrie & Lowell Album just to clarify =^_^=
@@deadsetondreams1988 My introduction to Sufjan Stevens was Seven Swans playing in a RAY DONOVAN episode. I was gripped, and I have been listening to him since. Carrie and Lowell is awesome!
This was pretty tragic though...especially because you have a dude in his late 20's lusting over a 15 year old.
@@jamk2668 1st of all I'm assuming you are talking about the book and not the movie. I've only started the very beginning of the book so I don't know how much has changed book vs film-wise. Because the ages are raised in the film. Regardless, the age of consent in Italy is 14. They were both consenting and Elio was mostly the one pursuing Oliver in the film. Oliver even told Elio to stop when they were 1st questioning everything in the field. But Elio still touched Oliver's pants.
And regardless of that we are all specifically talking about the music in the film, in this particular comment thread. While you seem to be just trying to speak about negatives, we are on a whole different wavelength.
In the book, they elaborated more on why Elio breaks down when Oliver eats the peach (in the book, he actually DOES eat it), and its because he was embarrassed that he was caught doing something so weird and Oliver knew he was embarrassed, so he ate it as a way of going along with it to make Elio feel better, and Elio couldn't believe someone would go so far to make him feel accepted, to make him feel like he wasn't being judged. That's why he got emotional, because he realized how much Oliver gets him, and he's about to leave.
Also to make him realise he is not “sick” which is referenced several time in the book but sadly only emphasised once in the book, it’s so sad of Elio thinking this of himself but I believe it’s all part of his sexual awakening and understanding of himself, coming of age, coming out and his understanding about love, it’s also hugely a cultural belief coming from a Jewish Italian family, this book is a masterpiece ❤️
The way Timothee massaged his throat at the farewell scene... It's exactly how it feels when a lot of emotions are welling up and you feel a giant knot in your throat and you're about to cry. These acting choices are impeccable.
So true, not enough people talk about that choice. It created asuch a sense of desperate restraint so as to not bleed all over with heartfelt emotions.
Yeah, I hate that feeling. 😫
Timothee arrived in Italy early to learn to play the piano and speak Italian. That is definitely him playing the piano. Btw, in the book the piano scene between them is described as intellectual flirting. So you're right.... they were playing... flirting with each other. Last little tidbit... Timotheé had a small earpiece in his ear during that final scene. He coordinated the emotions with the song by listening to Sufjan Stevens in real time. That's acting. Won him a best lead actor Oscar nomination that year.
Great reaction guys!!
I love the piece about the mic in his ear. That’s true talent, raw and in real time.
The ending was so heart achingly sad, imho. The playing of the credits as Elio has to process Oliver's news was played with such maturity by Timothee. The song was utterly bittersweet and I think I've played it quite a few toooooo many times!!
I was just going to say this…Timothy is a serious actor, he don’t play!😉
The book absolutely wrecked me. This movie is forever one of my favorites. The acting, the cinematography, the dialogue, etc.
The sequel got me as well. I never had the "feels" like this book/movie gave me.
There's a sequel to the book? @@dtdurr
@@dtdurr by sequel you men the part where they skip those 10/20 years? or there is a second book?
There is a sequel novella. ‘Find Me’
I cried so much reading the first book. I never cried so much in my entire life.
Call me by your name really put Timothee on the map. This is his only Academy Award nomination (so far), this film made him a huge star, he was on every magazine cover everywhere, every legendary film director was talking about him in every interview. This was way before Dune, and it's so shocking to me hearing, 'I've never heard of this film before' from cinephiles...
You guys should definitely react to him in 'The King' (he is exceptional in it, and his British accent is incredible), 'Beautiful Boy' (one of his best performances), 'Little Women', 'Bones and All', 'Miss Stevens', 'A Rainy Day in New York'.
I still feel CMBYN is his best performance. But do think he's great in those you mention.. His English accent wanders across the Atlantic a few times in The King, but it's pretty good.
i think "the king" is severely under-rated. love his performance in "the king." it's second on my list of timothees performances.
@@ericamacs3875 A British actress friend who plays at The National Theatre told me that his accent in 'The King" was very good, so....
@@eldiran2 I'm a Londoner. His accent is fine, but it just wanders on some words, it's not perfect. It's not shade, American actors don't always do great English accents, his is better than most.
His performances are always good and I think he's amazing in Wonka and Dune 2.
Armie Hammer has some personal issues but there's no denying he was great in this movie. His chemistry with Chalamet was fantastic. Of course Chalamet was incredible in this movie!
Facts, nothing can ever ruin this movie for me honestly, I know people still have a lot to say about it but it's perfect honestly
"some personal issues" you mean a controlling abusive, cannibalistic, narcissistic psychpathic sadistic rapist?...I guess no big deal though because he's a good actor with superficial charm who's goodlooking.
I agree completely @@louislestat8310
@@louislestat8310I am with you .
@@janx8695 Not even one of those allegations can withstand close scrutiny. Not that you care. The plain and simple truth is that these are scorned women who accused him of abuse in retaliation for being dumped. It was only AFTER they got dumped that they conveniently and suddenly took issue with his fetishes and cried abuse. The LAPD couldn't even charge him with any crimes because the evidence against him wasn't just flimsy...it was laughably uncredible.
I'm always a fan of when movies choose to put the camera close on a great actor's face, and then just KEEP it there for the full moment - letting it linger so that we can truly live in that moment and that feeling. So simple, but so powerful.
Michael Stuhlbarg's monologue at the end of the movie is spectacular.
It was poignant, dignified and performed with so much sincerity by MS.
It was incredible! Sadly the most important part of this monologue in the book was missed out and it’s SUCH A SHAME!!! In the book he says at the end “I would be a terrible father if you felt you couldn’t come to speak to me about this, or if I HADNT LEFT THE DOOR OPEN ENOUGH for you too” that last bit changes everything navigating such special delicate feelings and conversation! So sad it wasn’t in the movie!
This is definitely one of Timothée’s best performances but a very underrated performance of his that was the first thing I saw him in and made me a fan is the movie Miss Stevens. Truly an incredible film that he also puts so much nuance into his performance in.
Also his French is so natural because he’s bilingual and grew up speaking French in his household!
I love miss stevens!
This film got 4 Oscar nominations, 'best actor in a leading role' (Timothee Chalamet), 'best original song' ('Mistery of love'), 'best adapted screenplay', 'best film'. Won for the screenplay. 👏
How “Mystery of Love” didn’t win should be a crime
@@blantontn Absolutely!!
I loved the whole hot summer vibe in this movie. The silence. The boredom. The solace. Born in the 80ties, its really such a childhood trip to watch. So different from today's busy times with everyone always on a phone.
I’m Italian and in the 80’ I was the same age as Elio was in the movie, not only the atmosphere but every single detail was spot on, the backpack brand that everyone was using for school, the food on the table, even the chocolate had the 80 packaging…. I could go on and on.. Was an incredible bitter sweet walk down memory lane.
I've got the ''is it better to speak or to die'' tattooed on my arm, that quote just stuck with me after watching this movie
wow. What is the significance for you personally?
@@voyance4elle It's a whole thing but during my time growing up I always had trouble speaking my mind, I rather kept quiet instead of sharing my opinion even about the smallest things cause I was so so insecure. My so called ''friends'' shut me down and basically I just felt like my opinions didn't matter. I wouldn't dream about telling someone that I liked them etc. I've come a looong way since then but that tattoo just reminds me every day that I shouldn't be afraid to speak cause the things we keep locked inside will eventually kill us. It sort of confirms that you won't die if you speak your mind, but it will kill you if you don't. We interpret things differently of course but that's what I took from this and that's what makes it personal😊
I wanna get it tatted so bad also some lines from bones and all stuck with me I would LOVE to get them all tatted they have a special place in my heart frl🥺
This really revealed how great an actor this kid was and is going to be.
I agree calling him a kid haha 😂 he’s only a bit younger than me but same.
I remember feeling completely blindsided by this movie. Felt transported. And it stuck with me for days.
I watched it in theatres and others I think felt the same way… it felt so intimate and as an audience member I felt like I was violating their privacy. Lol in a way. It was beautiful
It scrambled my brain for _weeks_ after seeing it the first time.
i could never finish this movie, i first watched it while i was drunk, til this day, i never finished it, the ending messed me up, i only watch the first half of the movie.
I swear this is a universal experience…the same thing happened to me. It was so hard to process but also so easy to process. It was truly unlike any movie I had ever seen. It gives me such a surreal feeling and I’ll never forget the first time I watched it at midnight on random weekend. The chemistry in my brain was changed lol.
This movie has such great little moments and scenes that mean so much. Like the scene where Elio shaves and gets all dressed up for dinner because he’s trying to impress Oliver, but Oliver doesn’t end up going and you can see Elio is annoyed and hurt. Anyone who has tried to get someone’s attention knows that feeling. Just great.
This is definitely a film that rewards multiple viewings. The details are so rich!
I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that Elio went to a lot of trouble to look especially nice only to have Oliver not even show up. 🙂
@@bywaternyc7856 Yes, definitely. I discover something new every time I watch it. For example, the second time I watched it, I noticed that Oliver caressed Elio's face just before their first kiss, admiring his beauty the same way he had the face of the statue that was dredged out of the water. Then the third time I watched it, it became clear that Elio's mom definitely knew something was going on between them...when she read the story to him about the handsome young knight who found himself so humbled and speechless that he was totally unable to bring up the subject of his love...the conversation she had with Elio where she noticed he was wearing his Star of David necklace like Oliver...the looks she kept giving Oliver and Elio at the breakfast table the morning after they slept together the first time...and on and on.
In the book this is based on, Elio doesn't speak French but it was incorporated because of Timothée Chalamet's French fluency and French American background. He learned Italian, relearned piano, and guitar for this role. Whenever Elio is talking to his mom or the girls he is speaking French but whenever he talks to the household staff, visitors, and locals it is in Italian. This movie also took a little while being made, they first approached Chalamet when he was 17/18 years old about it but it kept getting delayed. He was going to put off college for this but ended up enrolling. The original setting is more of a Riviera setting but Luca changed it to Crema which was near his home. The cast used to have dinners at his house in Italy while filming. Also the book takes place in 1987 but Luca changed it to 1983 because he considered it still an innocent time when the world wasn't as corrupted by the 80s politics and HIV/AIDs. He wanted the story to be free from the chaos of the 80s. Just some trivia~
The decision to change location was not arbitrary, it was mostly a matter of budget, which was very tight. In any case, I have been to both locations, the ones in the book and those in the movie, and I think that the choice for the adaptation ended up adding a lot to the story, because in the Riviera everything is more extroverted and spectacular, but in the midland , the story becomes more intimate, close and authentic.
@@GastohnBarrios Ahh okay! Well I went based off something Luca said about but I'll take your word for it!
I can never forget the way I cried at the end of the movie.
I usually don't comment. But I have searched far and wide for reactions to this. By far the best! So thoughtful, insightful, and picked up on tons of things most reactors don't. Made me happy to see you got a lot from this film.
This is the most realistic depiction I’ve seen of a gay story. Life is so nuanced especially when coming from a foreign culture and it so often ends in tragedy
i mean...realistic for some gay people maybe lol. it's not realistic for all of us to meet extremely handsome foreign strangers who fall in love with us in the italian countryside 😂
@@jamesliggins891 It's more of the emotion, I think they mean; not necessarily the story itself, but the emotion and feelings is so realistic.
this movie really did something to me when i first saw it. i think about the “is it better to speak or to die” quote and the dad’s monologue almost everyday
That confession of love scene by the statue is sooo beautiful.
I didn't expect to be reminded of the exciting, fleeting experiences I had in my teens and early twenties. The father's monologue at the end was so beautiful and true. Feel how incredible it was in addition to the pain of it being over.
I had my first relationship, love, and heartbreak the time this movie came out. I just turned 18, went off to college, and was so emotional. It was also brief, 2 months, but incredibly intense. I feel so grateful that this movie accompanied me through my grief and taught me how wonderful it was to have felt something like that.
My bestie is from Italy and he took me on a trip to see all the locations of the film. It was amazing, I will never forget it.
Timothée speaks french....
Guy on the left: "His italian is fantastic!"
LOL
The scene with Elio and his Dad is one of my favorite in ANY movie. The quotes are so powerful and I think of them often. So well done.
@michellebarry1555, I had the opposite response. It left me cold and ruined the movie for me. I had focused on loving the romance, acting, scenery, etc and tried to ignore the problematic parts. But that piece meant the third undeveloped and last woman in the show was thrown under the bus. They were objects to practice sex on. The Dad's talk was the step too far. It was disrespectful to his wife of many decades. He created a secret bond with his son based on elevating what was basically a hot summer teen fling. I don't think he could have actually known how deep the relationship was anyway. Blecchh.
As a hetero person, this movie is just so beautiful in the way the main characters express their feelings and love for each other. A very well made, very touching film. Timothee looked very familiar to me, then I remembered he was Murphy's brother Tom from Interstellar. Armie Hammer was great too, don't want to cancel out this incredible performance because of his personal life news.
i agree
Timothee Chalamet was raised speaking French and English. His name is actually pronounced (Teem-Oh-Tay), but he has gotten used to being called Tim. He learned Italian phrasing for the film. He knew how to play the Piano but he learned Classical pieces for this film- that being said, they only had one rehearsal day before shooting began. He plays a 17 year old, he was 21 during filming- he jokes about having to get a full body wax. 😂 He has always been a master artist.
He was 20 yo He spoke at Bafta interview which was incredible U should
Watch it
I feel like the best Chalamet movie to see another side of his acting range is The King. It’s definitely my favorite movie he’s starred in.
Aside from Dune 😂
And Beautiful Boy, he's great in so many films lol
Oh my god. yess. i loved him in that. and little women and beautiful boy
agreed! my dad who never knew anything about Timothee, watched The King and was surprised by his acting.
beautiful boy is also some of his best acting!
No doubt, this is one of the best performances of Chalamet, but I think that you can not miss what he did in BEAUTIFUL BOY, MISS STEVENS and LITTLE WOMEN. This movie is pure magic, I was in all the locations last year and are breathtaking, by the way it WAS Luca Guadagnino homeland, he used to live in Crema, the main location. About their chemistry, they told that Armie and Timothée have just one rehearsal and was the first kiss scene, so Luca gave the order for them to start making out, after a long time the actors realized that he was not giving the order to cut, so they stopped; only to notice that the director had gone and left them alone, kissing.
This is probably one of my absolute favorite movies. If I'm bored and don't know what to watch, I will usually turn this movie on.
Thank you for this. I love, love the way you two are moved by the film, especially at the end. I'm SO glad you finally saw it! Yes, CMBYN is the film that announced Timothée to the world. I had a very fortunate experience with it; I spent a weekend in NYC in Dec. 2017 and saw a sold-out preview of the movie; and guess who was present at this screening for a Q&A after it? That's right---Timmy himself. When he jumped up on that stage like a young colt to talk to us, the audience rose and cheered; many cried. During the session I was able to ask him a question and make a comment; it moved him a lot. We got to meet and say hello when it was all over. We embraced. Ask me if I, or any of the people there, will ever forget that late Saturday afternoon! Blessings to you two guys--you're quite wonderful. :)
This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s like a painting on film. The story, characters, acting , music and cinematography. It’s all comes together perfectly. Thanks for posting.
✌🏻❤️✌🏻
As much as I love Gary Oldman, Chalamet should have won an Oscar just for the end scene alone...Incredible acting and Stulbarg and Hammer should have at least Oscar nominations for this...Best movie in 2017❤
У Шаламе ещё все впереди
One of the best films of all time. Michael Stuhlbarg was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. That monologue at the end touches my heart so much. Perfect delivery. It won best screenplay, James Ivory (formerly of Merchant and Ivory, who has made the best gay cinema. He was 89 and broke the record set by Ennio Morriconi at 87. The scenes where Elio is waiting for Oliver and the colors fade and was perfect for what could be going through Elio’s head… was an accident. The film got damaged and the cinematographer said leave it in! It’s perfect! And it was one of the most beautiful, mesmerizing scenes in the film.
The scene where the two of them are at the war monument is astounding…. And it was Armie Hammer’s idea. Luca Guadagnino couldn’t figure out how to edit the scene and Armie said do it in one take and let there conversation be far apart and then come together at the end when Elio basically told him I love you.
Yes, Timothee Chalamet did play the piano and speak those languages. He was first hired and all other cast members hired according how well they mixed with Chalamet.
Sufjan Stevens got two Best Original song nominations. One was “Mystery of Love” and the other was “Visions of Gideon”. This is a time when the Oscars got it wrong. One of them should have won. The film itself, did win The AFI Movie of the Year (2018.)
Armie Hammer said his most difficult scene was at the dance. Of course in films during party/dance sequences, there is no sound. You can really tell it when the two girls acted like they loved the new song the DJ was playing. There were no sound cues and Armie had to dance like loved it and was carefree. He hated doing that.
The Director wanted Chalamet and Hammer to get used to being intimate so they went to that location and said ok, make out.
Once they started, it became very natural and easy for them. They were really getting into it. When they looked up, the crews and Director had packed up and left, leaving them to keep making out.
It got 262 nominations and won 101 of them.
😅As the credits roll and Chalamet squatted in front of the fireplace and cried over his memories and lost love, he asked for an ear piece that kept playing “Visions of Gideon” over and over so that he could feel the heartbreak and react accordingly. It turned out beautifully!!
I loved Armie Hammer and Michael Stuhlbarg and in my opinion were the best part of the film, acting wise.
This was the movie that made me fall in love with timotheet as an actor. That last sequence of his face wrecked me, I was bawling.
Great reaction guys, I was about the same age as these characters in the 80s when I came out, so I could really identify with them. I live in Palm Springs, Ca, where we have an annual film festival the first of the year. The first night they have an awards gala events where the stars arrive on the red carpet and fans can stand across the street and get pics and shake hands with the stars nice enough to come over. The first year I saw Timothee , he was receiving a rising star award , around 2016. He very sheepishly came over to greet fans , his hair was over his eyes and was clearly new to all of this. The next year, he was a total pro, enjoying the interaction with fans, shaking hands, posing for pics etc. He shook my hand, paused and thanked me for coming out. I later watched the local news, where he was interviewed and asked why he spent so much time greeting fans, and he said because he is a fan and understands how exciting it is. He is a great actor and great person!!
❤
I thought the fact that there weren’t any obstacles stood out as a great thing as it was different to almost every other gay movie. Why does there need to be obstacles just because they’re gay. Not everyone in movies are homophobic.
"i wonder how they prepped for the intamacy in this"
everyone whos a fan of the movie: soooooo
(lica the director om the first day told them to just make out and when they finally just made out he just left them alone and when they stopped they realized he was gone)
both the book and the movie are so beautifully done, both some of ny favorites ever
the original length of the movie was over 4 hours and i most definitely would've watched that as well
also theres a version with timothee and michael commentary and its also so good
That ending hit really hard in the cinema. I remember people clapping, and weeping also. I still think this is his best performance, much as I adore Wonka and Dune 1 and 2.., the whole thing is a masterpiece. You can see why he got so many awards.
And I do think it's the best chemistry I've ever seen between two actors. Armie is really great in this role.
I agree with you about the parents. It always amazes me when people say the parents should stop it, since when in history has trying to stop a teenager ever worked? The age gap is 17-24..BTW. I'm sure loads of people have said that in comments..
Bill Paxton was a friend of the people who made this film, there's photos of him visiting them on set in Italy.
Stuhlbargs speech at the end is honestly one of the most beautiful, most true things I’ve ever heard and put to film and I was so mad he didn’t get a supporting Oscar nomination for it.
Me too! After seeing it again here, I’m upset he was snubbed
It was sublime. He almost reminded me of Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting, when he told Will about his wife who passed. It was poignant, heartfelt and profound. Very deserving of the Oscar.
still continues to be my favourite movie of all time, it’s so authentic, it doesn’t even feel like a movie it feels like elios thoughts, feelings, emotions being told through some sort of visual poetry. definitely reminiscent of a diary entry like you said, and all of the romantic scenes feel so intimate. the book is so beautiful too and this movie perfectly encapsulated it!
This was such a powerful film. I don't know if Timothée will again get such a role to showcase his range and acting ability. He shines in everything he does, but this film was tailor-made for his talent. Guadagnino toned down the raw sexuality of the book, but did give us a remarkable depiction of first love, obsession, sensuality, and setting. The confession scene in the square was particularly effective - Armie suggested they film it in one take (over 4 minutes) and boy did it pay off. The use of music, both classical and compositions by Sufjan Stevens, were inspired choices - I'm now a fan of Ravel's The Fairy Garden, heard at the end of the father's talk with Elio and the change of seasons into winter. Interesting side-note: the author of the book, André Aciman, appeared as one half of the couple who visited Elio's family in the second half.
Beautiful reaction to an even more beautiful story.
I so appreciate the film makers allowing scenes to breathe; not just rushing to the next dialogue.
What wasn’t said was equally important as what was.
I watched the movie for the first time this week.
Seeing your reactions kept it fresh in my mind. I felt many of the same emotions that you experienced.
His mom. His dad. ❤
Calling his mom to come get him from the station platform. I broke when his voice broke.
Then turning next to the conversation with his dad. Such a beautiful piece of cinema.
Thank you for sharing. 🖤
I had the same response to the voice-breaking moment in the train station. Another quietly devastating moment happens at the end of the peach tussle with Oliver, when Elio says "I don't want you to go."
The music and cinematography is beautiful I've watched this movie so many times that I remember every single line word by word...this used to be my favorite movie I watched it everytime I painted probably watch over 74+ times.
74+....wow! The year the film came out, the callmebyyourname subreddit was insane! Never in my life have I seen a film so passionately analyzed and picked apart. No frame left unturned! Everyone on the sub must have seen the film at least a dozen times.
as being gay,this is some what reasoning with my life as well,i remember crying for hours after watching this
Same
Bro, i watched this film in the summer of 2018 and since then it's been one of my favorite films due to the direction and cinematography. A great soundtrack and adaptation of the book too, it's really cool that channels here started reacting/watching the film for the first time.
this movie broke me the first time I watched it. the music, the acting, everything was so good.
Luca, the director, met Armie and Timothy in the city 3 months before starting to shoot the film, Timothy took the opportunity to learn piano and Italian and together with Armie they began to share time and places, while riding their bicycles around the place. There is a lot of information about how Luca produced and thought about the film, which was shot completely chronologically, something unusual or practically impossible for the film industry. Perfect movie, so far. Thanks for the reaction: you really watch the movie.
When I saw the movie in the theatre, that final shot made me uncomfortable. I suddenly felt as if I was intruding on a private moment as Elio cried by the fire. It felt so personal that I had to look away for a few seconds. What a performance by Chalamet!
To answer your question “Call Me By Your Name” made Timothee Chalamet a new young rising star. Putting Timothee on the Hollywood map.
Nominated for a Academy award as lead actor in 2018.
CMBYN won the Oscar for best screenplay in 2018. Much deserved Oscar.
Thank you for reacting to this beautiful love story.
During the closing credits, they just let the camera roll, and Elio goes from being very sad, to remembering the good times. You kind of turned off the video a little too soon. Timothee at the very end, breaks the 4th wall with a look that goes right through you, and you realize he is going to be OK.
That's what you got out of that? I got the sense that he was stoically trying...but failing...to hold back those desolate tears. Tears of sorrow...pain...devastation. He was crushed. Heartbroken. He was going to be anything but OK ever again. He would never be the same.
That's what you got? I think he is feeling the feels, memories and loss, on advice of his father. But no implication that he will never be ok again.
@@marionsutcliffe1119 Read the end of the novel (not covered by the film) and the sequel to the novel, Find Me. He’s never ok again. He spends the next 20 years emotionally crippled, forever longing for Oliver. There’s a passage in Find Me that takes place 10 years after they parted where Elio takes his dad to the last place he was ever happy, the spot where they last kissed: “It marks a moment where for a short while I held life in my hands and was never the same afterward. Sometimes I think that my life stopped here and will only restart here. As I leaned against this very wall, I knew, drunk as I was, that this, with Oliver holding me, was my life, that everything that had come beforehand with others was not even a rough sketch or the shadow of a draft of what was happening to me. And now ten years later, when I look at this wall under this old streetlamp, I am back with him and I swear to you, nothing has changed. In thirty, forty, fifty years I will feel no differently. I have met many women and more men in my life, but what is watermarked on this very wall overshadows everyone I’ve known. When I come to be here, I can be alone or with people, with you for instance, but I am always with him.”

The subtlety of this movie is what makes it amazing and so real. By far the best coming of age movie.
So excited to see John and Andrew react to this movie! Timothée Chalamet is so great in this movie! 👍
It’s just rare when one loves the book and also loves the movie, especially the music choice for the movie.
This movie is a masterpiece. It makes me smile. I regret not having seen it in theaters. I don't think Timothy will ever be better. His Oscar nomination for this was well-earned. That end shot was just the perfect punctuation ❣️
This movie made me feel butterflies and nerves that I haven’t felt since I was a teenager. Jesus. What a movie.
Same! Truly amazing the impact this has on some
The best acting movie of 2017 without a doubt. I went to the this movie 10 times in the theatre. The ending with Elio kills me everytime I see this flim. BRAVO!! Thanks for your insightful and beautiful review!!
Timothee should have won he was better than Gary Oldman as Churchill
@@stephaniemoore9122The Academy jurors wouldn’t want to insult Oldman by letting a neophyte, no street creds actor to win the Oscars. It’s politics, as always.
@@CinqueTerre558
I agree for some reason they did give it to the actor that played Queen but he didn’t do the singing & it wasn’t worthy
They do give it to the young ladies never to young men
(It’s like the LDS ) lol never to the guys I hope he at least gets nominated for Dine 2 he carried both movies he was rlly good I’ve seen it again u see so much more. Dylan should be good
So I hope for him.
Forever will be sad he didn’t win the Oscar over Oldman. Love this movie so much, from the music to the script, everything just worked for me. Think the monologue Michael Stuhlberg gives towards the end is one of the best of all time. Excited to hear your guys thoughts
the music in this is incredible
The flashy camera effect at around 39:06 was actually just a chemical/processing error when they were developing the film. They ended up liking the look of it so much they kept it in the final edit instead of using a different take or redoing it.
The trip sequence is so much better in the book, they go to Rome and Elio tracks all the places they visited, all the places they loved each other, so is much more heartbreaking when they get separated. But Elio’s reaction is really on point on the movie tho
'Call Me By Your Name' is the first gay movie I've ever seen and I'm thankful that it was this one..., truly amazing and the speech from the father at the end there made me tear up, ngl.
Timothée Chalament killed it. He was also phenomenal in DUNE PART 2 which I watched two days ago. People will remember this guy!
The credits scene... that scene lives with me in my soul forever, because, as I assume to a lot of us, we all have lived that moment, the most real moment I had ever with a movie.
The way that scene changed me forever. 😮
Exactly! It's imprinted on my soul forever.
Also, there’s a whole epilogue in the book where they meet each other again 30 years later or something like that. There’s also a sequel book telling how they ended up together again and for good. They’re endgame after all. Hope they revisit it some years from now, it would be really good to see that continuation on the screen
Luca & Timothee want to it just doing it
The book this film is based on is equally as beautiful. It's written entirely from Elio's perspective. What is kind of cool is that Armie Hammer read the Audiobook. So we got the hear "Oliver" recite Aciman's beautiful prose and experience him falling in love with the character he played in the film.
This movie broke me lol, Timothy killed this role 🔥
yea that is timmy playing he practiced for a few weeks with a coach but he played a little as a kid. and yea this kinda was where he became a superstar. overnight he went from unknonwn to the youngest best actor oscar nominee in 80 years and was nominated for every major award and tons of critic awards and won the gotham and indie spirit awards among other critic awards
if you want another excellent timmy movie watch beautiful boy it’s based on a real story of a drug addicted son and also stars steve carell and tim got all the precursor to the oscar award noms for that too but they snubbed him for another oscar nom bc they def didn’t wanna give him back to back noms
and if you say you like romance horror watch his movie with taylor russel Bones and All. it’s like romantic cannibals road tripping across the usa in reagan’s 1980s. it’s fantastic
I love how subtle the movie is, no loud music and the story isn't fast but rather slow.
My very first gay story movie and i loved it so much. Coming from small town as closeted gay man with very religious family, i remember watching this movie at night in my phone cause i just "discovered" that i am gay and finally able to accepted the fact about it and not freak out😄 . This movie is a very special movie for me
i love Timothées performance in this , if you want another good performance from him i would recommend beautiful boy a Movie i watched recently and broke me to be honest
Yes as Steve Carrel’s son with problems of addiction. That was a good movie too.
The dad's speech at the end gets me emotional every time. I haven't watched this movie in years and even now I couldn't help but tear up. Such incredible acting.
My favourite thing about the film is that Love My Way by the Psychedelic Furs is Oliver's anthem and the opening line is "There's an army on the floor" and Armie Hammer is dancing his big face off on the dance floor.
Fun fact, they had to dance in silence on those scenes.
I would also recommend Bones & All, another team-up for Luca Guadagnino and Timothée 👍👍 Michael Stuhlbarg is also great in The Shape Of Water 💖
this film holds such a special place in my heart.
"Call me by your name" and "beautiful boy" are my favorites of him
Me too !
35:00 fun fact: the scene where elio grabs oliver down there was the first scene they shot. So the chemistry was spot on from day one!
I don't know if it was the first scene they shot since most of the film was shot in chronological order. However, the first kiss (but not necessarily the grabbing of the crotch) may have been the first scene they rehearsed. The director wanted them to get comfortable making out with each other and disappeared in the process. Clearly, his technique worked. 😈
The whole cast, the parents, Timothee and Armie all did an amazing job. I was hesitant to watch this movie at first and now I’ll always remember this movie my whole life. Love it sm❤
Timothèe’s best movie in my opinion is the king
One of the great things about a reaction like this is how those of us who have seen it (too many times to count) can find little memories of the first time we watched it (for me, it was the Vancouver Film Festival in late 2017 and I was blown away). Glad you liked it, glad you saw all the nuances that some reactions miss (for example, the scene in the square where they cross the statue and meet on the other side, an incredible piece of work). Thanks for this.
Please wait til they find out the kiss scene in the field was the first scene they filmed🤣
that’s not true. they said many times during press for this film they filmed the entire movie in chronological order. they REHEARSED this scene first and that misfit be what you’re thinking of?
I have not recovered from this movie eversince I first saw it.
Thank you guys for reacting to this film. It is one of my favourites, i always cry when i watch it, and i love to see people watching it for the first time, and it is an excuse for me to watch it again. 🥰 thx. Im from Brazil.
timotheé did in fact had to learn italian but he’s fluent in french since some of his relatives and even parents i think are french. also his name “Timotheé” is a very french name😂
His father is french and Timmy spend childhood summers in France with the family ... her dad is a diplomatic member of an international organisation 🧏🏻♂️
One of my favorite summer movies, it’s always feel like a mini vacation when I watch this movie.
This remains an absolute favourite--and the book as well.
for another Chalamet/Stuhlbarg/Guadagnino collab check out "Bones and All".
Despite being nominated for Best Director three times and directing three Best Picture nominees, the only Oscar that James Ivory won was for writing the screenplay for this movie. He remains the oldest person (89) to win a competitive Oscar category.
I watched this movie a few years ago and it took my heart. I am a huge marvel fan and mostly watch action stuff but those looooong camera shots are calming and beautiful. At the start the sequence at the breakfast table was mindblowing to me because it was so much fun to watch but without any hectic or/and cuts. Just a slow evolving scene, it calmed my mind. The art of cinema, that has almost did go extinct in the past 10 years. I love that both of you did mention the beauty of this movie several times.
I watched this movie once it aired on Netflix and I was immediately mesmerized by the feeling of this movie. It is so relatable to anyone who fell in love during a coming of age period. Beautiful scenery and music too ❤
The musical score 🎼 in this ✨🔥🔥♥️
I love this video so much, it feels like I’m watching with friends, this is my favourite movie and it makes me so happy that people like it like me too, all the details everything. ❤❤
I also love how the movie just feels so carefree and dreamlike. It really opens up the atmosphere to create an ideal first love that's passionate and fleeting. It was amazing
The book destroyed me even more than the movie did. It is even more devastating (also not long, about 250pages). It is a masterpiece. And the scene of the father talking to Elio is basically 1-1 from the book. Also in this convo when Elio is asking his father if mom knows, as I understood it, he´s asking about his father "almost had what he has", not if she knows about Elio 🙂
Had the same take as yours re that question of Elio - whether his mom knows.
You two are seriously the sweetest straight guys!!! And I have a crush on Andrew LOL (for a while haha)
The father's monologue at the end is devastating.
What's your all-time favorite ROMANCE?!
Stardust, You’ve Got Mail and Letters to Juliet are my go-tos, but I love them all. I’m a hopeful romantic.
Call me by your name, One Day, The Fault in Our Stars, Love Simon, Five Feet Apart, and To all the boy I've loved before.
While You Were Sleeping, You've Got Mail, Never Been Kissed, 13 Going on 30, Just Like Heaven, The Lake House and, more recently, Red, White and Royal Blue. 🧡
@@dgirl786 ohhhh i love The Lake House and Just Like Heaven. My fave Mark Ruffalo role aside from 13 Going on 30
Pride and prejudice...
This is actually one case where I liked the movie better than the book. I couldn’t fully believe the characters while reading, but Timmy made me believe the story.
I wish this movie had come out sooner. If I had heard his dad’s speech at the end when I was Elio’s age, I think my whole life would have been different 💔
These two men are extremely perceptive considering they are seeing this movie for the first time. I also like the way these two guys interact with each other, like long time friends. They notice relationships, artistic movie shots, music, settings, time periods, Easter eggs. They know and understand movie making. I know nothing of movie making, but I love this movie and I enjoy these two critics’ point of view. I actually watched this review three times!
