RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE (2023) "Like Stonehenge" | First Time Watching | MOVIE REACTION & Review!

[@DutchTZPfan]

Some fun facts. The bicep kiss on the lake of Henry on Alex’s bicep was improv. They also shot that scene without the intimacy coordinator present. The scene under water was a lighting test, but they loved the result so much they decided to use it. The scene in Paris where Alex is helping Henry with his shirt was also improv. Nick/Henry had trouble getting the button undone so Taylor/Alex jumped in to help. The scene of them lying in bed together after the museum with Alex holding Henry’s wrist was not in the script, but they felt it fitted, so they filmed it. Also something I noticed, if you look closely you see Taylor/Alex fidgeting a lot with his hands, as someone told me, it’s ADHD stimming. In the book, Alex is later diagnosed with ADHD and Taylor has read the book 7 to 8 times by now, so it was great to see him adding that little detail. Also you already saw Stephen Fry, Thomas Flynn aka Prince Phillip the older brother of Henry also identifies as Queer so the two homophobic characters in the movie are played by Queer actors. Which is a great move of Matthew the writer/director. LOL

[@DavidvsFilm]

This is EXACTLY the kind of trivia/behind the scenes info I really value and enjoy, so thank you very much!! I knew about Stephen Fry (but not about Thomas Flynn), and I agree that was a clever casting move.

[@DutchTZPfan]

@@DavidvsFilm also, not entirely sure if it’s true, but I saw someone mention that Henry kissing alex’s shoulder after Henry joins him in New York, where Alex talks about his future, was apparently also improv from Nick’ side. Also the dedication at the end for Kristy is for Taylor’s eldest sister who died of colorectal cancer June last year, before the movie premiered, she was his biggest fan and was looking forward seeing her little brother’s first leading role. Amazon held a special screening for the entire family and they took a pic of them all posing in front of the big screen with “For Kristy” on it. Also on the table in the oval office there are family photos. When Taylor’s dog Jack died during filming, the day before they did the big cake scene, Matthew the writer and director asked Taylor if it was okay to add a pic of jack on the table. So if you look closely you can see a photo of Taylor with Jack on the table, plus some real life child photos of Taylor. You can see the pictures better if you go to Matthews instagram, he just posted a new photo of him in the oval office which gives a good look at the photos on the table. His insta is @matthewmichaellopez

[@dawnjohnson4869]

@@DutchTZPfan There are also two pictures of Nick as a child in the background. One is of him and his father, on the table behind him when he's ignoring Alex's phone call during the meeting with Philip and Bea. The second one is of him and his mother, I think, which is on a side table in one shot. Not sure which one, though.

[@sobelou]

@@DutchTZPfan One minor correction, one that I hesitate to make given your obvious expertise on the matter, is that Henry's kissing Alex's shoulder (the "I'm learning" kiss) wasn't in NY but in Paris after their first real time together. Thanks for bringing up the improv nature of a few details, which only adds to the chemistry experienced and shown by these two amazing actors.

[@Belaugh]

​@@DutchTZPfan Taylor does a featurette on a guide to the Oval Office, and he mentions his late sister and his late dog in that. Worth seeking out and on Prime. Also the scene where Zhara finds them in bed together was mostly improv; as Matthew Lopez was on his first film, after an award winning career in theatre, he was always open to encouraging the actors to improvise to present their characters richer and deeper. Galitzine always does a great deal of improv, whatever project he is working on. Much of the love scenes with Tony Curran (James) in Mary and George had a great deal of improv between the two, action and dialogue, and the much loved Dance Hall Days scene in The Idea Of You, from chicken nuggets to choreography, was Galitzine's idea.

[@captainsplifford]

Zara had the best lines, from "vitamin D deficiency" to "Little Lord Fuckleroy."

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh 100%. Some really good writing in this overall, but I completely agree that she had the best laugh lines.

[@draperbell]

The Mitch McConnell banana comment was hysterical.

[@stevenjump8234]

The director and the books author are writing the sequel. So it should be good. The author has a cameo. She's the woman sitting on the floor with a laptop, when Uma is drafting her response if she had lost. Nicholas Galitzine plays a lot of gay roles. Handsome Devil is a good one he's in. Also in Mary & George on Starz. He was also in the Craft Legacy movie. Taylor was in Kissing Booth 2 & 3. This is his first starring or leading man role. He dedicates his role to his sister who died before she could see RW&RB.

[@DavidvsFilm]

That’s awesome! This is exactly the kind of behind the scenes info and trivia that I love and appreciate. Thank you!!!

[@AnxietyRat]

​@@DavidvsFilmyeah, the dedication at the very very end of the movie is for Taylor's sister.

[@dcemerald70]

Call me a romantic, but I genuinely loved this movie; this along with Heartstopper and Young Royals helped me come to terms with my bisexuality. I’ve read the book, the collection edition, and I’ve seen the deleted scenes which are amazing. I’m so excited for the sequel that’s coming! Now all we need is a Broadway-West End bound musical. Just saying… 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏳️‍🌈❤️🤍💙🩷💜💙

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh you’re right- a stage production would be great! This is the kind of book/movie that easily lends itself to that type of adaptation. And I think it’s GREAT that this movie and those shows helped you define yourself. I know everyone is different in how they process things, but I’ve turned to tv and movies too in the past looking for relatability. Very happy for you!!! ♥️

[@GiuliaLoSurdo]

and now it’s Emmy nominated 🎉 we keep winning. Amazing achievements for queer community so far ❤

[@DavidvsFilm]

Woohoo!!!

[@DutchTZPfan]

The height thing through the movie is an inside joke. In the book, Alex is shorter then Henry. The actors ended up being practically the same height with Taylor aka Alex being a bit taller.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh ok gotcha, thank you! Yeah, I don’t know why, but wearing lifts or otherwise, I feel like I need Alex to be taller.

[@AnxietyRat]

​@@DavidvsFilmyeah, in the book Henry is 4 inches taller than Alex... But in the movie Alex is like an inch or two taller than Henry... Alex also wears glasses in the book... I'm kind of upset that they didn't adapt that into the show... it's VERY easy to get fake glasses if the actor doesn't actually need them. But I suppose they did have a relatively small budget for this movie... So maybe they couldn't fit it in.

[@DutchTZPfan]

@@AnxietyRat Taylor actually wears glasses in real life, there is a video of him showing off his new prescription glasses. I think if I remember right, he’s far sighted.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@DutchTZPfan oh that's interesting! I don't follow him on any social medias so that might be why I didn't know that... Really really strange that they didn't adapt Alex having glasses then... I really can't think of a reason for why they didn't. I mean it is a relatively small detail about the character, for sure. but it's something that could have easily been done... That would have been a point towards them faithfully adapting the source material.

[@Belaugh]

TZP is 6'2", Galitzine is 6'. In the book Alex is meant to be shorter, but that fact turned into an in joke between everyone involved. After seeing literally hundreds of actors to play Alex before getting to TZP, finding the right chemistry was more important than that detail of physicality.

[@mariaghiglieri78]

As a fellow Houstonian, I have been WAITING FOR EVER for you to watch this!! Yay!!!! 🎉😊 I dream of Texas going blue!!

[@donrainesoh]

Why? So it will wind up like California busted, gutted, and broken?

[@polythenepam6461]

I love that it's a romcom. Media is over-saturated with cis- het romcoms, so it's honestly refreshing to see LGBT characters in romcoms for a change. Even when it's cheesy and a little formulaic, because the world deserves this representation! I might actually enjoy the genre now that the narratives are opening up to real human diversity.

[@galenthom]

They are doing a 2nd movie following Henry and Alex's relationship after the events of this movie.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Oh good!! I’m glad it’s still them, and also that it’s a continuation. Thank you!

[@andre_p]

Great reaction David ! First time I hear some kind of confirmation that a sequel is forthcoming !! Yeah ! Taylor is indeed genuine and believable. As for Nicholas Galitzine, he was born to play a prince, gay or straight 😆. Although his preference seems to be for the ladies, he’s played a number of confused/bi/gay/roles. I welcome this openness to diversity from actors/actresses who see same sex attraction as something normal (if less frequent). Love is love…❤

[@DavidvsFilm]

Excellent comment! So well put. :) Thank you ♥️

[@Avy9gc]

Great reaction! I’m also in love with Taylor Zakhar Perez now. 😂 I loved this book so much and Taylor brought such warmth and humor and vulnerability to Alex, I’m completely enamored with his performance. I am so looking forward seeing him in more roles in the future! Everyone was great in the film, including all of the supporting cast. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor was insane. So excited there’s going to be a sequel!

[@DavidvsFilm]

Thank you! Agree to all of this :) And let's hope the sequel is sooner rather than later.

Only 8 episodes. Also love The Boys, dark superhero show. Into their 4th season with one more before the end. Very gory and sexually explicit, cringy. But the core is about the people and their issues. And then there is The Legend of Vox Machina - 2 seasons animated fantasy. Hazbin Hotel - animated, silly, musical.

28:42 I know it’s a movie, but it’s so unrealistic that Minnesota is red. It hasn’t been red since 1972.

[@DavidvsFilm]

Ah! Thank you, Lynne! You hit on the other thing (besides the accent) that I wanted to talk more about. Exactly!! re: Minnesota. And what I specifically meant about Texas and "that would never happen", is that if you look at the US electoral map in the corner, they have Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota all going Republican. Unless this is light years of political shifting in the future, ain't know way TEXAS is that close if all those states are in the red.

[@NaliaDanger]

​@@DavidvsFilmyes, exactly! When I saw that map, I thought, "well this movie is definitely fiction!" I realize they did it for dramatic effect so that Texas going blue would be the tipping point that won the election point, but if it were a real election that got Texas to flip - especially as an incumbent - she probably would have won in a landslide and most of that electoral map would have been blue.

[@revendax2584]

@@DavidvsFilm and here I am living in Arizona which is turning more blue, its actually considered purple now and is a battleground state. Historically Arizona has always ran red but the last 2 elections majority vote went to democrats. I guess it helps that some of our state governors that were well liked were democrats.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

@@DavidvsFilm I’m guessing they were just going by number of electoral votes, rather than actually being realistic which states might go red vs blue. But it bugged me about MN. In 1984, Reagan vs Mondale, every state was red, except Minnesota. Beto seems to be doing good work in Texas. It’s close to purple! lol

[@AnxietyRat]

​@@lynnhettrick7588yeah, the author of this novel wrote it in response to Trump winning... So it's absolutely fantasy America and fantasy England, if women were running the countries. It's not MEANT to be realistic ... I mean I think the politics is more realistic in the book than it is in the movie mainly just because it goes into more depth...but still...it's VERY much an idealistic fantasy version of those two countries.... Written during a time when a LOT of queer people were grieving a little bit. And angry. So yeah, the author was trying to soothe their own upset with this book and subsequent movie. And in turn, it's soothed a lot of other lgbtq+ people.
