such an impressive, well-made video essay!

Nice❤

I'm a devout, rather traditional Catholic and watched this film for the first time recently. I studied Italian film & art in my undergrad years for a bit in Rome. CMBYN has undeniable spiritual elements that are very obvious. Yes, it's a bit too sensual at times, but you can plainly see Elio & Oliver (and Elio"s father) are really searching for deep male friendship, companionship and affection - an affection among men that transcends sex, but here is presented sexually. I only wish that Oliver would have asked Elio to be a groomsman !

I love this analysis!!

Beautifully described

What a beautiful essay; you have a unique gaze and sensibility. This is marvelous <3

you should have way more subs! excellent analysis and diction and good pacing and choice of clips

Always liked the 'privation' view of evil so it's kind of nice to know that it's in David Lynch's films too!

Commentator has a very irritating voice.

Hello! I got to know about so many sources from your video. I have my dissertation submission on 27th. I would must say that your video and the bibliography really help me. Thanks a lot .

Excellent analysis!

Never heard of this film but it sounds very insightful. As an African American the difference between African immigrants who immigrate to Europe, Canada or the U.S. is that they are discovering they are black when they get to these Western places but black Americans are born into double consciousness. We realize race very early whereas Africans depend on tribal affiliations and nationality so it can actually be harder for them to come to terms with what race is and how it affects every aspect of their life outside of their countries and even in their countries because until this day foreigners come to Africa and window for wives, throw cameras in their faces for vlogs on social media. The traces of colonialism is very obvious to me but even now many Africans will say that racism doesn't exist in Africa not realizing how indirectly they still face racism.

Close but no cigar... why does Mafalda ask Elio if he's been to the Gaverina?

Great analysis of one of the best films ever made

What's the music in the background?

Wow. Really astute analysis. Kind of blown away. You deserve more views.

Thank you for this perspective it was radiant and beautiful.

This is the best video analysis i've even seen.

This OVER analysis of a beautiful film is ridiculous! Read the book!

7:49 I have glued my eyeball to my 720p file of Carol and gone frame by frame. I can't see the boy having Down's Syndrome. How do you know the character has Down's Syndrome, or did the actor playing that boy have Down's Syndrome?

Hello! Loved your analysis. Could you please provide me the PDFs of three sources that you mentioned. I need that for my academic research. I want third, fourth and eighth source that you cited . I would be really grateful if you can send me those .

One of the most overrated movies ever! Most can't get past their lust for Timothee Chalemet, and thus project nuance and meaning to this film where little existed. If you are objective and can get past the superficial nature of the film, you would be able to acknowledge that their wasn't chemistry between the two leads, and while the music was beautiful, it did not properly align with some of the scenes in the film. Timmy is intoxicating, I get it :)

Isn't queer not allowed in the Bible

One of the things I noticed in the film was abundance of flies in scenes. I thought at first this was just real life flies just in the scene. But Director Luca Guadagnino was asked about this and refused to say. To me, it says something very subtle and yet profound about life. Flies only life for about 28 days. And their entire life is just meandering through from place to place before dying. Just like human beings often do. This one moment in time that Elio has with Oliver was these flies entire lives. And yet this one moment in Elio and Oliver’s long lives that was all too brief, will always be profound to both of them.

do you have any further reading/sources specifically related to this? i think it might help me for my final assignment in school :)

Human love, divine love, queer love gay love . Whatever you call it. It can only be when young. It can only be in "first". Lets not forget Italy and a great parents.

Just finished twin peaks s3…..I think I was right about one thing. The atom bomb releasing evil into the world

Too bad he's pretty much retired now from filmmaking. They'll never be another David Lynch.

“Cinematic mastermind David Lynch” yeah im out

you don’t need to overpronounce every syllable like that lol

Fantastic video!

Having lived this story, I can say this movie hit all the emotions that come with. Your analysis was insightful and makes me appreciate it even more. Blanchett truly an angel flung from space 💞💜💞💜

Amazing video, amazing explanation. I wish more people talked about his work like this and didn't immediately dismiss it as weird.

This whole channel is pure gold. 💜

8:25, what is Berlusconi in this context?

Human nature is Evil. That's all. 🖤😎👍

Thank you very much for your review, allowing for a deep analysis of the film.

Well written ✍️

I LOVE YOUR ANALYSIS <3

To The Narrator : - Your unique perspectives / interpretations as to the theme // symbolisms of this C I N E M A T I C M A S T E R P I E C E Were - Very Much Appreciated . Thank You .

So what was in the telegram, who sent it and how did they know where to reach Carol?

I've watched "Carol" a dozen times at least, and you still pointed out things I'd missed or hadn't considered. You gave me a lot to ponder. And great timing for me, as I'll be watching it soon again as my own personal annual Christmas movie. 😏 Thanks for your insights!

Nice insight 👌

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS

LOVED this vid. Though i love ur interpretation, i struggle seeing the Lady in the Radiator as a benevolent entity. I always thought of her as a representation of the atomic bomb (for the way shes presented). So i kind of saw her as a villain, in one way or another

What an excellent video you’ve made. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on religion as I have no knowledge of those stories. It gives this wonderful movie yet another layer of beauty and complexity. Thank you so much for this!

¿Hay alguien que hable español? No entiendo muy bien inglés y realmente me interesa el tema, podrías, por favor, hacer un resumen de lo que dice el video? Amo mucho esta película ❤

Your analysis is so beautiful. Thank you for spelling out the things that were felt but no sounded out loud. You have a voice that fits so well with “the sensory stuff”. )

i love your work and i want to know your process.

Amazing review. Thank you for this!
