Book and Movie review of Call Me By Your Name, DISCLAIMER : this post contains spoilers! Please skip this one if you haven't read or watch the movie and didn't want to get spoiler about it! But if you don't mind or already read or watch the movie please continue reading and be my ranting buddy about it.
So i finally watch the famous LGBT movie which is an adaptation from a book with same title. This movie was released back in 2017 yet i’m so late in the game just watching it almost 3 years after the movie was released.
I gotta say i was being super judgy for LGBT related books and movie and i'm ashamed of it. This book really breaks my paradigm of LGBT relationship. So this is how i think about it before : between two of them there must be the one that become a bit feminine than the other tho he is a man. Or probably both of them are. But in this book it's totally not!
Elio just being a 17 y.o boy that trying to discover his sexuality, Oliver is one with charming, everyone love him.
So the story follow Elio, who live somewhere in northern Italy, met Oliver who was Elio's father research assistant for that summer.
Elio who is a music prodigy, he plays guitar and piano, Oliver is the "superstar" know himself so well, so confident, being love by everyone just a second they meet him.
Love Sparks, obviously. But i'd say beautifully mature way, the way that Elio confront Oliver about "the things that matter" to him aside from his knowledge about things around the city the way he confess his feeling is soooo different than normal people would say.
You wouldn't read "i love you" in whole book (or movie) but still we can see their feeling for each other.
They said it's a coming of age movie, and i totally agree with it. With Elio in the focus. But this book not only about Elio discover his sexuality, but also about accepting who he is, about amazing parent that not everybody has, not just back in the set of time where they are back then but even for now days.
