That last monologue from Elio’s dad is just pure MAGIC

[@JamesVSCinema]

Loved that scene!

[@sherrysink3177]

My favorite scene in the whole film. Along with the one where Elio's mom is reading to Elio and his dad, and when Elio's mom picks him up from the train station. Just everything with his parents was so incredibly beautiful and achingly heartfelt.

[@sherrysink3177]

@@JamesVSCinema I love hearing your perspective and all that you saw from a filmmaker's lens. So fascinating! You have the most interesting observations, and I like how open you were. And you're right - it really is a gorgeous film. I think one of my favorite long film shots was when they're riding their bikes and it's just this super long shot of them going around a bend and going farther and farther away until you see them off in the distance finally going out of range. It was just so thoughtfully done, and made me contemplative and wanting to follow them all the way out there, wherever they were going. It seems like it would be a "slow" thing, boring, but it wasn't to me because it held my gaze all the way and in a sense I rode with them. Stuff like that, and the shadows and moonlight and lighting of various scene really held me captive. And the way you talk about film does that too, making me see things from another perspective.

[@glpp5292]

*Pure sad*

[@ianho386]

Then you should go check out the book! That scene was copied word for word from the book by Andre Achiman~ (I cried so hard during that part of the book) lol

[@chops5853]

I’m so jealous of this kids life. Not only is he from a wealthy family, a talented musician, has a fling with a beautiful young lady and a super hot guy, and gets to spend his summers in a beautiful little town in Italy - He also has AMAZING parents that are so supportive and intellectual and just free spirited/open minded. Yet, he is still either bored, annoyed, or just taking things for granted like a typical teenager. I feel like when he gets his heart broken and that last shot in the film...he is finally starting to mature and self reflect on his life. It’s the beginning of his journey into adulthood.

[@andrewstephens5885]

that’s a very great way of describing the ending, something about the last few moments even feel like he’s ‘matured’

@@TeddymanYT One of the most emotionally intelligent song writers to ever live, and probably the greatest folk artists.

I love Sufjan Stevens. Even more, because he is identified as Christian, he lives what he was taught, be like Christ. Other Christian artists would not have contributed to such film and subject matter.

[@RevJ7]

@@Mangolite while that is my least liked aspect about him, his dissecting of religious topics and emotional intelligence regarding such topics make it palatable. And relatable, having been a sunday school kid.

[@chops5853]

This script is a great example of “show not tell” The dialogue is so natural and full of subtext. It respects it’s audience and assumes they are intelligent enough to follow the plot and themes of the film without any real exposition. Just beautiful film making, performances and writing. In my top ten of the decade for sure.

This movie was shot on 35mm. Many scenes, such as piano “flirtation” scene, filmed in one shot. It was adapted from a great book by the same name and the father’s speech at the end is lifted from the book’s pages. The author and one of the producers had small cameos in the film. The film had a budget of $3.5 million. There’s a treasure of information about “this little film.” It’s set in 1983, thus the more secretive nature of the same-sex relationship.

[@erikperhs_]

Imagine this movie, but 10 times more intense, romantic and erotic. That's how the book is haha This movie has a lot of silent scenes, but in the book he actually describes every single thing he's feeling and it's SO DETAILED that it becomes even too dense sometimes.

[@thomaspynchon8400]

To me the book is infinitely better. The writer is a Proust scholar, so naturally, his use of language is phenomenal - so poetic, yet not florid.

[@Eprosis]

Glad you reacted to this. I learned so much just by listening to you. Call Me By Your Name is like experiencing moments, rather than experiencing a story, if that make sense. It drifts along in color and sound and takes you with it, if you're willing to let go. And that extended shot of Elio by the fire as he embraces the pain, like his father said, is an all-timer.

[@JamesVSCinema]

Wow Jade, beautifully written and thankful for the comment. So many forms can be used in story telling, whether through three acts, or collage of moments and memories; art is art. Glad to have watched this!!

wow didn't expect this reaction! Have you ever cried during a movie? Because that ending shot wrecked me, as well as the father's monologue...I can kinda see how giving live commentary might make it a tad difficult to really get swept in the emotion of it though. Either way, glad you watched this!

It’s incredibly difficult for me to cry, just personally..doesn’t mean I don’t feel the emotions though! But yeah that scene was incredible

I just walked in the theatre because I had a free afternoon and nothing to do, and I bought a ticket for the movie that was starting next. Man, this was amazing. I loved every second of it, just beautiful from beginning to end.

When Elio asks his dad if his mother knows, he means if she knows that something always held him back from that love Oliver and Elio shared, not if she knew about him and Oliver. Loved the reaction ❤️

[@jonatassilveira3969]

this film makes you miss a time you've never lived in yout life, its kinda weird but I love it

[@ThePatchedVest]

This movie was painful (in a good way), a real slow burn and then it all swells up and by the end you're left heartbroken of all the time that was "wasted". It's an agonizing reflection of reality, but, that's what makes it so unquestionably human.

[@justlike1olivia]

You were like 5 seconds into the movie and I already knew your reaction would be amazing because you really appreciated the great work and art and noticed little details

Oh man this movie makes me cry everytime when the dad is talking to Elio... even in this cut up version it got me

Luca Guadagnino is one of the best directors making movies today. A Bigger Splash and We Are Who We Are also fit the summery vacation vibe, and Suspiria ‘18 is one of the best horror films ever imo

Oh god his take on Suspiria was a religious experience for me. I will never forget and it's had such a massive impact on me

[@b0de]

That last shot is one of my favorites in recent memory. The best part is right at the end Elio starts to almost smirk, almost as if he is accepting his feelings.

[@tannerwilliams4500]

One of my favorite movies of all time, I actually decided to read the book before I watched it and my favorite part of it was the speech Elio’s father gives at the end. To see Michael Stuhlbarg bring it to life was amazing. The book has a bit more of an epilogue to the ending, but I think where they ended it was perfect for the movie. Plus that long take on Timmy.. incredible acting all around. Also, this soundtrack stays in the rotation of my playlist ever since I saw it for the first time.

[@nicolaspoblete640]

One of my favorite films from my favorite director Luca Guadagnino. One might not see all the things this guy does on a filmaking level, but I believe he is one of the most powerful and evocative filmmaker ive ever seen. The way he creates atmosphere, explores the scene with his gaze as they unfold in a way that feels both meticulous and improvized, he is in love and total harmony with the stories he tells and that really shows. Mr. Pearlman's monologue is one of the most beautiful piece of writing in cinema (credit to André Aciman), the cinematography of Sayombhu Mukdeeprom (and his incredible colorist), the beautiful music of John Adams, Ryuichi Sakamoto and the original songs from Sufjan Stevens. The acting all around is fantastic and this truly is one of the most human film ive ever seen. Completely amazing. I do HIGHLY recommend Suspiria (2018), I Am Love (2010), and We Are Who We Are (2020) by the same director which are all equally fantastic

[@obakengmogapi4576]

The film was so complex and yet so simple, doesn't feel like you're watching but rather experiencing this story with them

[@dodybruh2524]

The way they portray nostalgia in this film is just masterful. The cinematography, the lighting, the dialogue, and specially the sound editing are beautiful

[@floralevario5084]

He talked about technical aspects over the most subtle scenes. He missed what was going on emotionally with all the characters especially Elio and Oliver. They were falling in love and lust with each other in 1983. Even the Dad's amazing talk with Elio was talked over commenting about good writing. Glossing over all the emotion. Avoiding the love story and the sex scenes. Not my kind of reaction.

[@atti97]

Trivia THE FILM IS DEDICATED TO BILL PAXTON. The legendary actor, who passed away on February 25, 2017, wasn’t involved in producing Call Me By Your Name in any way, so the dedication initially seemed puzzling to many. As producer Peter Spears said, “My husband, Brian Swardstrom, was Bill’s best friend and agent for almost his entire career. Brian is also the agent of Timothée Chalamet (as well as Tilda Swinton, which is how we all met Luca years ago). Brian and Bill came to visit us on the set while we were shooting in Crema, Italy … Bill and Luca became friends, as they had been great admirers of each other’s work for many years, and Luca chose to honor his memory by dedicating the movie to him. A very moving gesture for which Brian and I will be forever grateful.”

[@brittyn]

I’m soo happy you finally saw this and appreciate everything about it. Did you catch Elio break the 4th wall and look at the camera at a moment during the end credit sequence? I saw this when it came out, in the middle of the winter. It made me want to summer in Italy so bad, especially pre-Internet and smart phones. Love the beautiful relationships that form over the course of the movie. I think we can all relate to the feelings Elio experienced too, which makes this so good and heartbreaking too. James Ivory won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay. And that scene with Elio and his dad is taken straight from the book, word for word. Also, how great is the soundtrack by Sufjan Stevens? 🤯

If you're into reading, the book is incredible. In terms of the dialogue in the film, it all comes from the book. The way the book is written just hits you in a different kind of way.

This film was the film that made me appreciate cinematography, as it is just so beautiful and it really resonated with me.

The last scene is what cinema makes a unique art, something that literature or paintings cannot do: You have all three time phases in one, first the past, when elio cries and smiles remembering, second the present of course seen through the camera and the third the future when he looks kind of uncertain what will happen. All of the three time spaces in one scene, film is truly "a mosaic made of time" (quote by Tarkovsky). I also very much liked the use of sculptures in this film, they all seem bent and broken somehow but it still resembles us humans, all emotionally broken somehow. But still we want more of each other, our bodies bent towards each other. Truly a remarkable film. And the book is very good too. The sequel is also good, and I can't wait for Call Me By Your Name 2, which is also made by the same director (who btw. did Suspiria aftwards).
