There is a film.
It may be a taboo for a few people.
But let most people, in the background repeatedly leave a message, please Sir must talk about it again.
There are also many people who want to follow the protagonist's footsteps and also enter the ancient city and step on those stone paths.
This is indeed a taboo subject, because it involves the same sex (disgusted students don't go first, you can see if you can finally be persuaded by Sir).
However, Sir believes that sooner or later it will no longer be taboo.
So today Sir wants to talk more about how this taboo was filmed by the director, so that most of the audience was moved and unforgettable.
At the same time, it also takes you into the beautiful Italian town in the movie -
"Call Me By Your Name"
Call Me by Your Name
The film brought the fire to sweet tea (Timothy Chellemet), the soundtrack to the fire, and even the Italian fire.
On the day of its premiere at the New York Film Festival, it received a standing ovation of up to 10 minutes.
It was the longest accolade ever held at the New York Film Festival.
Call Me by Your Name soundtrack
The film's soundtrack "Mystery of Love" received nominations such as Grammys and Oscars, and rushed into the music charts of 3 European countries, with more than 30 million hits in the United States.
And the film also led to a wave of punch cards, it is said that in the filming of Crema, in the summer walking on the street, there are only two kinds of people:
A native Italian who has never seen "Call Me By Your Name" for a holiday.
And fans around the world who have watched "Call Me By Your Name" to punch in.
The small town of Crema is a town in the style of the 17th century. There, the Cathedral of Crema, is the famous work of Bramante, the most prominent architect of Renaissance Italy. It is also the hometown of director Luca. The director originally planned to buy the rented villa for filming, but unfortunately there was not enough money, so he presented all his love for it in the film.
The movie is not old, and many people still remember it, so Sir will only help you simply revisit it.
The story takes place in Italy in 1983.
It tells the story of two young people who are not good at talking, not easy to describe in the middle, and do not want to break up at the end.
The first protagonist, Played by Sweet Tea, is Elio.
17 years old, my father is a professor of archaeology, my mother is an intellectual, I usually love to read, write, swim, and live a leisurely life, but...
Youth is not confused.
Elio often faced the window with melancholy little eyes.
The other protagonist is called Oliver.
He was in his early 20s, a jewish youth from New York, intelligent, tall, and at first glance a little mysterious.
He came to the professor's house to cooperate with some research work.
The story is not complicated, not even love.
Don't underestimate it, this film has a lot of hooks, and each hook can accurately hit a group of people.
The first hook is about memories of summer.
Not everyone in Italy has been there, but summer, as long as it is a beautiful and idle summer, everyone likes it.
In the film, although Oliver is here to engage in academics, he is also quite good to play.
For example, run to town and find a local uncle to play cards and drink.
For example, bare-chested, playing volleyball with beautiful women in the sun.
He would also listen to Elio play the piano, swim together, eat all kinds of delicious fruits that would soar into the water as soon as he took a bite...
This beautiful picture of summer makes many viewers associate, which lays the foundation for the empathy behind.
Elio's home is in the outskirts of Crema, in Moscazzano, in the 17th-century Villa Vimercati Griffoni Albergoni. The crew spent nearly a month emptying the villa, and then arranged furniture antiques and sculptures collected from different places to create a family atmosphere full of experience and relaxation.
The second hook is that it's tidal enough to hit young audiences.
Is it the fashion week trend?
No.
It is a retro tide.
And it is a lot of middle-aged people who wear it ugly... But inside the protagonist is very flavorful as soon as he wears it (this is really powerful).
The movie is in the eighties.
The two protagonists wear a sea soul shirt, polo shirt, small crocodile striped T-shirt, human face pattern shirt... Many netizens are hungry.
The most angry thing is the kind of short boxer shorts.
What else is the Little Lion shoelace bracelet, the Casio F91w watch, the Converse Pro leather... Okay, let's talk about this one.
An old novel, an old story, left a young first impression on many viewers.
Of course, the above is not enough.
Romance, the key is to poke the heart.
But this is a same-sex film, how can the director ensure that it can resonate with all audiences?
First, there have to be emotional details that hit everyone.
It's strange that love is just beginning, and one party is always cautious, and may even be resistant.
Just like Elio.
He didn't like the outsider at first.
He felt that this arrogant guy from the United States was casual, rude, arrogant...
Oliver ate breakfast and knocked eggshells all over the table, and Elio was upset.
Oliver was always late for dinner, even absent, and Elio wasn't happy either.
Oliver was with the young girl, and Elio was even more upset.
So you get the idea?
Not Oiver who had a problem.
It's the adolescent Elio, who feels awkward in his heart (everyone who loves him knows).
Well, love Sir says so much.
In order to let heterosexual audiences also have an experience, the director also added brotherhood -
Not every teenager who grows up will be lucky enough to meet a guide.
The father is, but the father can't play together and grow up together after all.
Oliver, on the other hand, took on the role of accompanying growth and opening Elio's heart by the way.
Sensing Elio's nervousness and awkwardness, he would tell him to relax and how nice the summer was.
From time to time, he would learn about Elio's psyche and perceive what was hidden beneath his introverted exterior.
A very interesting part of the movie is that Elio plays the piano.
He obviously can play well, but he just can't play well.
One will use Liszt to play Bach, the other will use Busson to play Liszt's Bach...
It didn't matter if he didn't understand it, anyway, Oliver clearly saw Elio's ghostly personality, and his restless little talent.
Of course, there will also be ambiguous emotions mixed in, Sir checked the original novel, which reads:
From the first time I played it, I knew exactly which of the phrases in this work had stirred him. Whenever I played that piece, I gave it to him as a small gift.
In this way, the director intertwines complex emotions such as friendship, love, adolescent confusion, and so on.
The taste of love was diluted.
Then, subtract to remove details that might be uncomfortable for mainstream audiences.
If you have watched the film from beginning to end, you will definitely find that it is different from the average same-sex film.
It's not exciting, and it's not hard to understand.
The director once said in an interview:
I didn't want to make it gay. The film is about how we take a relationship seriously, become the person you want to be, and let ourselves fall into each other's gaze.
After the director's work, it makes this special emotion transcend gender, and even a little beyond friendship and love.
As we said earlier, the director wants to dissolve the single perspective of the same sex or the opposite sex and find some common emotions.
So, do subtraction.
The author quietly appears in the film, playing one of Elio's father's comrades and friends.
Call Me By Your Name is based on the novel of the same name by writer André Aciman, and the first thing Director Luca did after accepting the script was to delete it.
Nudity, deletion.
A large number of homosexual inner monologues, deleted.
The last scene, in fact, has dozens of pages of inner monologues in the novel, all of which were deleted... Elio was the only one left watching the fire.
And the way the film is made is also interesting.
In general genre films, it is almost impossible to follow the sequence of story development completely, and always shoot several scenes in place A and then go to place B, so as to save time and effort and save money.
But this film is not, it is honestly made in chronological linear order.
The director's purpose is simple, for the sake of realism:
I want to witness the maturity of the actors and the story with the audience.
The director and the two lead actors lived in Crema before filming.
They cook together, watch movies together, and go to the town to eat together, which cultivates a sense of idleness in local life.
So, the memories of summer, the fashion of appearance, the comfort of the town, the confusion of growing up...
Together, we finally work together to eliminate our strangeness of a relationship.
The subtraction is done.
Is there any addition?
It's not just love that moves the audience.
More people have gained life insights from it, which can be called advanced.
This is an atypical Kochi family, and the "alternative" education method of dad in the film hit a lot of viewers.
He belongs to the "erudite assist" type.
Not long after Oliver arrived, he pretended to be stupid in front of the students and deliberately tested the newcomer with a grammar error.
He is implying that knowledge is used to drill, not to pretend.
Finding Elio and Oliver a little awkward, he drove them to Lake Garda to salvage cultural relics to distract themselves and secretly resolve their conflicts.
Garda-Jamaica Beach is the largest lake in Italy, and in addition to its natural beauty, it also features Roman ruins, castles and small towns.
The Grotto of Catullus, which appears in the movie, is at the top of the Silmaine Peninsula and is the site of a Roman villa built in the 1st century AD.
Dad also invited two "special guests" to the house, and at this time, Elio, facing the comrades in pink suits, was still smiling, but Dad warned him:
It is not allowed to laugh at them behind their backs
You're old enough to accept other people as they are
He was also telling Elio:
While accepting others, we are also accepting ourselves.
And mom, belongs to the "see through and don't say broken" type.
She obviously saw her son's ambiguity, but she did not tempt, did not ask, did not object, just knocked on the side and told a story.
This allowed Elio to finally pluck up the courage to confess to Oliver.
Across the World War I Soldiers Monument, Elio confessed his distress. This is the town of Pandino, near Crema.
Such parents are really idols.
The reason why this film can impress the public, in the end, is because there is such a pair of parents, creating such an atmosphere -
Rational and tolerant.
It resolves not only same-sex discrimination, but even racial and other class discrimination.
Eventually, Elio also dared to admit that he was Jewish, bringing with him a six-pointed star, a Symbol of Judea.
This is not something Sir insisted on saying.
Instead, many netizens were touched by the "parent-child moment" of the father in the film.
Please feel what you feel, you have had a wonderful friendship, maybe beyond friendship, I envy you, in my opinion, most parents will want this to disappear and pray that their children will let go. But I'm not one of those parents.
In order to heal quickly, we have taken so much away from ourselves that by the time we are 30, our relationships are bankrupt. Every time we start a new relationship, the less we can give, and what a waste to stop feeling and not to feel it!
How to live your life is your own business. You just have to remember that God has given us hearts and bodies only once... Now that you are filled with grief and pain, don't let those pains go away or lose the joy you feel.
This long father's monologue dissed a lot of conservative paternalism, but also appeased countless children.
It was called "the warmest monologue in the whole film" by netizens.
Many people cry because of this passage, saying how I have not met such good parents.
So to the end.
As "that majority", what can we learn from it?
We see that the director and the author spend their efforts and energy to sculpt the story and bury the hook, and for what purpose?
Some people say that watching same-sex movies "want to throw up", Sir can understand your physiological rejection.
But is it necessary to choose hostility?
Sir is not calling on you to become fraternal, but just, do not allow yourself to be a little more tolerant.
Because whether you object or not, the world is getting wider, and that's the trend of the world.
What the father teaches his son in the movie is feeling.
Feel others, feel the world, so that you can feel yourself better.
Good movies teach us, that's all.
