it was easy to forgive cause Purple Hearts and Amazon's Cinderella were both shite stories and shite scrips. like RW&RB was a good story with a solid script and apparently a director worth a damn.

I’m so happy that LGBTQ+ dramas like Pose and wholesome romances like RW&RB and Heartstopper have been able to receive widespread acclaim.

You're not alone with loving that part. The actual line in the movie "When they write the history of my life, I want it to include you", and then Alex responds "History, huh? I bet we could make some", which is probably THE most popular quote in the fandom (especially since it's lifted directly from the book).

this is my new comfort movie. i must have seen it over 10 times already and tomorrow night i'm watching it again with loved ones because i'm so excited to share it with them too lol it's goofy and fun and light-hearted and feels in the same vein as how to lose a guy in 10 days. it just makes you happy! i always smile when i watch it, and i still tear up at the serious bits. a lot of it was done really well with so much love and care in certain scenes. i truly went into it thinking it'd be like "the kissing booth" or "after" and was so surprised.

[@promisemochi]

also i want to say when i was in college back in 2012 we were taught in poly sci that the dems would win texas in the next 20+ years. it was projected and there was a lot of data about it. especially with austin and houson. back then, houston had a gay mayor. austin is austin. and so many things looked so promising for the direction of our state in so many ways. then....Things(TM) happened and with the tea party and then the orange, etc. that changed the trajectory. but texas turning blue isn't just fiction. it's something texas democrats pray and hope for and work very, very hard for. we're just fighting against some very loud voices :(

I don't think Red, White and Royal Blue is dumb, any more than countless other movies of the same genre out there are. It's a romantic comedy, so it can be cheesy at times, but I don't think that makes it dumb. It's a beautiful love story between two queer men with a happy ending. It also deals with some heavy topics, like what it means to be a queer person in a position of power, and how horrible it is to be outed without your consent, especially being a public figure. I love this movie, including the things people criticize it for, like its pacing, and the fact it had to leave things out from the book. It's an adaptation, and even though I haven't read the book, I think it's done a wonderful job of showing Alex and Henry's love story.

I was squealing and kicking my feet the whole time. The book is incredible so I'm so glad the movie was wonderful

[@nolol7236]

This movie has quickly risen to the top of my list of comfort movies of all time. Like, yes, it can be cheesy and kind of lifetime-y, but it just scratched my brain the right amount. I gasped so many times at the tropes (*gasp* he fell first, shoved into a closet, and the ever-so-popular enemies to friends to lovers narrative) because it was sooo much fun.

[@eypu999]

[@DERRELL-qw8kw]

I think the reason most people, including myself, are frustrated yet pleased with this movie is that it’s a fantasy romance, something that isn’t impossible, but very rare of ever happening in real life, and it hits/hurts ten times harder if you’re single. AND IT’S F#@KIN’ CUTE!!!!

[@nikkinunya]

Miguel is the villain name of 2023 films istg. All of your emotions lmao that was me watching this. I loved this movie more than expected. I loved it more than the book which is very rare for me. We need another movie with these two in love ASAP!

[@littlethoughts]

So many of Kennie's Good Movies and a Glam videos have some of the darkest themes that seeing her so excited over something so sweet is a little jarring 😂 But I like it 💕💕

[@lexie7753]

So this movie just hit all of us in all the feels, no matter how cynical and critical we are. I'm only upset about a couple of omissions from the book, which had nothing to do with time. But otherwise, the actors were INCREDIBLE.

[@sammi8312]

Why am I crying just hearing Kennie talk about this movie??😭😂

[@liteflightify]

It was basic but just clever and sweet enough to be a decent watch. And it was refreshing to see a “gay movie” that got promotion which wasn’t tragic, Oscar-bait-y, centered around coming out/confronting your queerness, centered around extramarital affairs. It still felt mostly targeted to women, but it was refreshing.

[@InvisibleRen]

I always wonder what kind of gay media would be considered to have a target audience that includes men. My experience from pre-2021 queer media spaces tells me so long as it isn’t an erotica featuring bears and muscle gays, a certain group of people will call it “targeted towards [straight] women.” So these days, when there’s a lack of those heterocentric tropes, I can’t help but feel like every time I see this sort of comment, it’s from that small group who forgets there’s a larger group of gay men okay with being portrayed as being diverse and having feelings, and also a plot driven by something other than sex. 🤔 There’s also a shit ton of gay men who love cute gay stories.

​@@InvisibleRenI think heartstopper is a good example of a show that people might accuse of being directed at straight women, but it's supposed to be for lgbtq+ teens and adults in general

[@chiyoh]

@@InvisibleRen​​⁠​⁠I think it’s a generational thing too, like how Trixie and Katya talk about and are almost uncomfortable with Heartstopper. A lot of queer people in their 30s and older are genuinely not used to sappy queer media that seems to create an alternate universe where almost everyone is supportive and that isn’t centered around tragedy or treated like a joke

[@liteflightify]

@@InvisibleRen Where did I mention something being sex focused? If anything, I’m tired of “queer stories” that’s mostly driven by sex. By “targeted towards women” I mostly mean “straight passing” performances, set in a mostly hetero-centric world, the queer characters lack much edge or personality, there tends to be focus on “coming out” or coming to terms with your queerness, but there also tends to be a lack of dialogue about queerness or the gender, sexual, affection, romantic, emotion, commitment spectrum. Then you have the “queer Oscar bait”, which is mostly tragic, distraught, filtering queerness through hetero dynamics. The majority of “queer/gay movies” which Hollywood puts any real effort into promoting still tend to fit into those two categories.

[@wtf.iswrongwithella]

For someone who read the book before watching the movie, the decision to exclude June was CRIMINAL. This would have been way more awesome if it was a series 😭

[@TheVideoChatter]

I try to avoid love stories such as these because they reinforce how lonely I feel/am. Such a beautiful reaction to an equally beautiful film. x

Kennie, all I’m gonna say is if you want something to read, get the book (especially the collector’s edition, I heard that one has an extra chapter), it’s a bit different from the movie, but both are great on their own!

its a really cute rom-com movie with all the tropes but doing them really right, it leaves you with good feels and considering it's a lgbtq+ movie which went number 1 on Prime means a loooooot of people watched it worldwide which is amazing
