❤🤍💙 I think this is the first fan video I've seen that incorporated the audio book into the video, and it is perfectly incorporated.

Bea tells him he and Alex have been outed to the world and his first thought is "I want to talk to my boyfriend". Not OMG everyone knows I'm gay, the family...my grandfather...panic panic"

[@michaelkrupar9808]

Beautiful!! I love the line through "homosexual" and your truth - "himself" and the rainbow city colors.

Putting Henry with this song is absolutely cruel of you (i love it so much)

[@maycafeng7563]

OH, MY GOD, I WAS EMOTIONAL ALREADY AND THEN YOU ADDED THE LIST AND I STRAIGHT-UP SCREAMED THIS IS SO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL (the list is my favourite part of the book but I went into the movie knowing it won't work in a visual medium and made peace with that BUT YOU PUT IT HERE AHHHHH)

Honestly, I loved the movie, but halfway through the story, they did not portray Henry's transformation in love accurately. As per the book, once he faces the prospect of losing Alex forever, he had decided once and for all that there is no return to the old days of oblivion and self-denial. His only priority was Alex and staying true to himself, which is why when the emails leaked, his concern was the impact it had on Alex, not the consequences HE (henry) had to face. Secondly, when alex calls him on phone, he actually tells Alex that he is fine and that he is not ashamed of the world knowing about their love. So, yes, henry in the first half of the story is a defeated, shriveled up individual but Alex's love empowers him to such an extent that he had decided (long before email fiasco) that he will tell his family once and for all that he is gay. There was never a point after that when Henry needed to be sheltered because he was emancipated by Alex's love for him.
