The film finally uses a touching but slightly lengthy scene to show the father’s love and a person. Health advice.
The film portrays a full-strength homosexual love with a proficient way of expressing lust. Amy Hammer presented a confident and eye-catching performance to the audience.
Unlike many same-sex movies, "Call Me by Your Name" does not describe how homosexuals are discriminated against and how to fight their sexual orientation. The whole movie is as sweet and sour as plum soda. Summer love atmosphere. The stamina of the film is long, and after watching it for a period of time, it will make people breathless, full of worries that "the good things in the world are not strong, and the colorful clouds are easy to disperse and the glass is brittle."

The film takes the subject of homosexuality to a new level. The most impressive thing is that, in fact, it can not be included in the category of gay movies at all. At least its audience should not be limited to LGBT groups. This film should first be a work about first love. The theme of first love surpasses the homosexuality between the two protagonists, which has many similarities with "Moonlight Boy".
The performance that really stood out in the film came from 21-year-old Chalamet. He played Elio has many "firsts" in the film. He doesn't have too many lines, but Chalamé uses his own facial and body language to transform this character into a character that everyone can understand at a glance. people. The last few minutes of the film without a line of dialogue is a rare close-up shot of Ellio in the film. This shot is very attractive.

It is a metaphor for taboo love. The film reproduces the beauty of the Italian countryside in 1983, which is also an unexpected surprise. The scenes in the film look like time has stalled. The hot summer seems to be endless. As the camera pushes and the temperature rises, the audience will naturally look forward to the hotly discussed sex scene. Disappointingly, the director reduced this moment and finally focused the camera on the tree. In a year of breakthroughs in gay movies, filmmakers are still deliberately avoiding gay sex scenes.
