Their is NOTHING cringey about this movie.

[@michaeljohndennis2231]

I do agree with Brad’s points about the Royal Family, as I’ve studied the history of the Royals and Princess Margaret was in a similar situation following on from the Abdication crisis of 1936, although Princess Margaret’s situation happened after 1952 - the Royals position and divorce and Marriage seems even more bizarre when one goes further back into history, to the time of the Tudors & Henry VIII and his obsession with having a male heir (which Ann Boleyn’s failure to produce a male heir was the real reason for her execution) where Henry even set up the Church of England after the Pope refused to grant him a divorce from Catherine of Aragon for failing to produce a male heir, yet after his only male heir was a sickly boy who died at barely 18, he had to decide the line of succession - in the centuries since, after the death of Elizabeth I in 1601 (the last Tudor queen) James I of Scotland took the English Throne after his mother Mary Stuart Queen of Scots was executed - yet, in later centuries they banned Catholics from taking the throne in Protestant England and banned royal divorces since the 1700’s, especially before and after Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837 - 1901 and beyond which continued through 1936 with the Wallis Simpson Abdication affair

[@palomaroggeri8680]

Hey so to clarify the argument, the movie simplified the book A LOT and took out a lot of parts that made Alex and henry’s relationship more complex and interesting, mainly how deep the control of the crown goes into Henry’s life. After his father died when he was young his mother went completely catatonic and hasn’t been seen by the world ever since, Bea his sister fell into drug addiction and Philip his older brother even as the stuck up he is is going to carry the throne and its responsibilities. Henry is in the middle of all of this dealing with the fact that he will never live the life that he wanted, an anonymous ordinary life with a man he loves. When he sees Alex at their first meeting in the Brazil olympics (not a climate conference, Im brazilian so Im salty about that change) he instantly falls for him, and is terrified of it because he can’t let him self fall because he will never be able to have that future. So he tells Shaan to “get me out of here.” Henry has been carrying this crush for a long time so when he kisses Alex for the first time he feels like he failed, he did the one thing he wasn’t suppose to do, fall in love. After that as they begin their friends with benefits thing Henry hopes that it will be just that, he can have a part of Alex live that joy but not burden Alex with the fact that they will never be able to be together. He NEVER expected Alex to fall in love with him, that’s the breaking point, Alex is presenting him with everything he ever wanted but he can’t have it. So he runs away. Alex loves politics, he isin’t as affected by the public eye because he wasn’t born into it, he didn’t have to spend his entire childhood and teens surrounded by cameras watching his every move. Henry sees it two ways, either he lives a miserable life with the crown where he is scrutinized till he dies, or he goes with Alex and is still scrutinized for a life in politics, he sees both as prisons. He’s not saying that it is a prison to Alex because Alex likes that life, but Henry doesn’t. Here’s a small part of the argument in the book: “Oh my God,” Alex groans. “So, what, was this all never going to be anything real to you?” And Henry snaps. “You really are a complete idiot if you believe that,” Henry hisses, the note balled in his fist. “When have I ever, since the first instant I touched you, pretended to be anything less than in love with you? Are you so fucking self-absorbed as to think this is about you and whether or not I love you, rather than the fact I’m an heir to the fucking throne? You at least have the option to not choose a public life eventually, but I will live and die in these palaces and in this family, so don’t you dare come to me and question if I love you when it’s the thing that could bloody well ruin everything.” Alex doesn’t speak, doesn’t move, doesn’t breathe, his feet rooted to the spot. Henry isn’t looking at him, but staring at a point on the mantel somewhere, tugging at his own hair in exasperation. “It was never supposed to be an issue,” he goes on, his voice hoarse. “I thought I could have some part of you, and just never say it, and you’d never have to know, and one day you’d get tired of me and leave, because I’m-” He stops short, and one shaking hand moves through the air in front of him in a helpless sort of gesture at everything about himself. “I never thought I’d be stood here faced with a choice I can’t make, because I never … I never imagined you would love me back.”

In the book we get more depth into henrys character, he is clincally depressed, he lost his favourite person in the world -the only one who understood him - at a very young age, his mother withdrew from her kids leaving him practically an orphan, Bea (sorry for the spoiler) turned to drugs , Philllip hated who Henry was and his grandmother was as homophobic and racist as they come, they forced this uptight personality on him. Henry hated to be a public figure - hence the trading one prison for another - That's why he is not as willing as to be disowned because that would mean he will loose everything he was trained and abused for, that's why he has big feelings, that's why he is "dramatic"

Thing is, he wouldn't mind being disowned and turning into a non-public figure, but if he does that with Alex, then he will have to continue being a public figure. That is the "changing one prison for another"

[@MymiiMylene]

Exactly! He doesn't see a way for them to just be, because he is a royal and Alex is in politics and wants to stay in politics, So no matter what, they'll still be scrutinized and that's what Henry doesn't want. He tried so hard to be the "Prince of England's Heart", and he is so scared of the hate he could get if his relationship with Alex goes public... It is very sad. He sees Alex with having "nothing to lose" because going public wouldn't affect him that much after his mother's campaign is done. That quote, "My life is the crown, and yours is Politics, and i will not trade one prison for another" says it all really.

[@lic3d127]

35:28 I think there is something you didn’t hear/pay much attention on Alex’s love declaration at the lake and I think that’s what triggers Henry in the movie (on the books things are much more detailed and complex). Alex tells Henry that after the election he wants to go back to Texas with Henry and hold hands while walking in Austin. So Alex WANTS to go public. He’s even dreaming of it. While Henry, from the beginning, said he couldn’t. So after hearing that, it was not just “let’s continue what we are doing loving eachother”, it was “he wants something from me that I can’t give, because even if we go public and I am desowned, we’ll still be under pressure and stalked by the media since Alex wants to go into politics”

fun fact : rwrb movie was shot by director matthew lopez who is himself a gay man so he was extremely cautious about depicting queer relationship in a healthy light while also maintaining an essence of personal struggle...additionally he talked about shooting the sex scenes in the movie in several intvs and how he wanted to depict the paris sex scene in a more sensual/romantic light than as you said "swiftly" as usually queer sex scenes are either done too fast or are void of much emotions

From what I heard Alex and Henry's actors were very involved in every discussion he had about it to. Which according to them helped it be so much less awkward when it came time to shoot it.

[@Simplenotion]

[@pokemonparty101]

Henry was tired of the spotlight being on him and the pressure to be a figurehead. His dream was to be an anonymous person in the world, where his decisions didn’t effect so many people. He was saying he didn’t want to trade one prison (the spotlight of the royal family) for another (Alex’s dreams of being in politics) and said that it doesn’t cost Alex anything because his mom would be running for her second term, and after that there’s no pressure to uphold any illusion in front of the press to get another election. Henry was born and raised within the political spectrum and it’s pretty apparent that his future would have been that forever and every decision he’d ever made would have consequences, unlike Alex who technically didn’t have to worry about things like that after his mom’s election. **Obviously this is just the movie interpretation, the book gives Henry a lot of other motivations for why he acts like he does.

I was hesitant about this movie at first but after watching for about 20 minutes and seeing the chemistry between the 2 I fell in love with them and the movie. The story was quite good and the acting was also very good. I loved the supporting cast, especially Alex's, they are so funny. When watching gay movies or series I prefer guys over girls and have watched quite a few in the past. My favorite genre is actually Thai BLs. The stories are so good and the acting is amazing. Yes, you must watch with captions, but the love scenes make parts of my flutter. These guys are so passionate and hot when bedroom scenes are shown. My favorites are actors named Zee Pruk and Nunew Chawarin from the series Cutie Pie and Mile Phakphum and Apo Nattawin from the series KinnPorsche. The two couples are truly amazing. I can't wait to watch more of your video reactions. As for loving who you want, I am 100% for that. My daughter and her ex had a daughter before marriage and began planning their wedding.

36:23 yeah you should have more sympathy ngl I honestly never saw Henry as being “melodramatic” in this scene. He’s grown up with the ideology that any desire he seeks is selfish if it’s not to do with the crown. Yes, having royalty is stupid, but that’s all he knows, his life is the monarchy and the spotlight. It’s been drilled into his brain by his family and their royal history that no one will ever except him as gay, and his love for Alex betrays everything his family expects of him. This is hardly my place to say, but it is well known how terrifying it can be for gay people to come out (it shouldn’t be but it is), but especially when they know their family will not accept them. Imagine that, but it’s his entire family, the monarchy, the tabloids, the country, perhaps even the world, that doesn’t accept him. Of course, this doesn’t happen, he gets more or less accepted for who he is, but he has been told since he was a child that he won’t be. Love you Brad but leave poor Henry alone

An interesting reaction, as fanfiction has done the G more harm than the top evangelical preacher, though perhaps it will do the B good.

@@PizzaMadeMeFat I had a boyfriend who grew up reading fanfiction and believed gays were really supposed to be like that. Most representation of gays is probably bad.

[@PizzaMadeMeFat]

@@seto749 so you admit you’ve never read fanfiction? What exactly do you mean when you say “he believed gays were really supposed to be like that” cause I read fanfiction and I’ve only seen 2 things when it comes to gay fanfics either it’s romantic and treated like any other relationship or it’s really crazy smut so idk what your bf was reading but it might’ve just been some of that crazy smut

The set-up in the broomcloset of the hospital KILLED me. Like what was the plan? There's a shooter in the building and you're just gonna throw them in a broomcloset and leave them there all alone? Also can we talk about how WILD it is to stage a whole shooter-in-a-CHILDRENS-hospital situation just to have an excuse to get our two main characters to talk about their feelings? 😂😂

[@Denf0]

The way my jaw d r o p p e d when I heard them shout "shots fired" like IN A CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL??? Too close to home when in America schools get shot up every other week

[@marcellaboehler9543]

It wasn’t a shooter, the situation is a joke on how the secret service is all paranoid to think there will be a shooter there when it was just a kid with fireworks

[@erikperhs_]

The plan is pretty simple actually. It was to keep them hidden until it wasn't dangerous anymore.

[@michaellance5700]

#1, we gays are starving for a “quality” movie (ie, made in a quality manner for the mainstream public) and this is one of those rare movies. #2, it’s almost SILLY romantic, and I say BRING IT ON! We gays on the whole are a “silly romantic” bunch. #3, it involves two masculine, beautiful men with great bodies, and that’s rare too. And #4, there is actually a quality script and plot to the movie. Yeah, it wasn’t a deep, philosophical movie, and that’s fine-- I’m here to be entertained!

[@giffy5150]

brad, this reaction actually has me cackling. it’s got to be one of my all time favourite videos on your channel

We can never have enough happy endings for us! Usually anything queer ends in some form of tragedy or sadness. Loved your reaction I screamed too at the intimate scenes lol.

This reminds me so much of this situation here in the Netherlands. People were all speculating about princess Amalia’s sexuality and if she would still be able to inherit the throne if she’d be bisexual or lesbian. I think she was 18 when that happened and it made me realise how f’ed up her situation is.

[@percyweasley9301]

Why people speculated about her sexuality? What gave the impression? 🤔

Your shocked reactions are everything I‘m dying over here But also this shows how insanely underrepresented queer couples are in media. I‘ve seen movies like this with heterosexual couples a thousand times but having queer centered romances coming out is soooo awesome

[@Eric-1701]

Your commentary was even funnier and more entertaining than the movie itself. Awesome!. Bloodshot Diva!

[@videohistory722]

7:40 It was the Rio Olympics, and what Henry REALLY said was, "Can you get rid of him?" Henry's explanation is mostly true to the book, with a few details left out: His father was a James Bond actor, and they were specifically visiting the cancer ward, in his honor.

[@FlyingShite]

I was going to pinpoint moments that had me laughing, but your reactions throughout the entire video almost made me PISS MYSELF 😂😂😂😂😂

[@itsjustmeVanessa]

Aw, I loved it when he called him baby and Henry's reaction. It made me so happy. But I def thought other parts were cringey. But it's okay. We need cringey gay romance. God knows we've had enough cringey straight romance.

[@kayisfish]

The problem was that in the books he calls him baby all the time, it's a tender thing between them. whereas in the movie it is the first time

Yess Just please not the level of cringe of that netflix movie, i think it was single all the way, it was okay then suddenly the protagonist had a dance choreo with the kids to britney spears because the writers were like "britney, gay people like her right?"
