The story of the movie is so simple that it can be finished in one sentence - in the summer of Italy in the early 1980s, a teenager Elio fell in love with Oliver, an American college student. I don't even like some parts of it, but the overall atmosphere of the film is very good. It's like the whispers at the beginning of love and lingering in my ears. After watching it, I can't help but think that I like it. The boys who wrote something, though not for a long time.
It was just that I finally wrote. A few days ago, I chatted with a friend of another mutual friend. She said that she would be afraid of her parents' concern for the friend's "life events", because she couldn't come out for others and she didn't know how to hide the actual situation. Her apprehension reminded me inexplicably of a very casual and unpleasant conversation I had with my parents a few months ago.
One of the gaps in communication with parents is the same-sex topic. Every mention of it can lead to a small-scale family dispute. The attitudes of both sides are equally stubborn and cannot persuade each other. In their view, people have only one orientation, and there are only two paths in life. And this almost stereotyped point of view reminds me of Oliver, one of the film's leading actors, expressing his father's philosophy.
In my understanding, the definition of love may be closer to the extended version of the English word CRUSH, or even the immoral version. Even the so-called long-lasting love is just a combination of small shining points under countless individuals getting along with others. So these bright spots will not be stifled in the bud due to gender, age or class, and there will always be a dazzling bright spot. Unexplained pleasure makes love seem irrational and mindless at certain moments.
Teenagers' love mood is more direct and fierce than adults. Elio's falling in love with Oliver looks like the product of a few hormonal battles. The wonderful summer that's gone forever is something that could have been as simple as reading, changing sheet music, swimming in the river, and going out to play at night, but suddenly The love that filled this summer with the sweet aroma of ripe peach. And Marzia fell in love with Elio the same, she just fell in love with this teenager. They are equally brave and afraid of being hurt. They are cautiously tempted and uncontrollable to vent. Trying to free themselves is another struggle. Feeling that you are in love is often more complicated than you think.
Perhaps this kind of understanding is not a realistic idea in the eyes of parents, but people who have been trying to find close people have finally found an understanding based on their individual life, and concluded that "because you are you, so I am me" and " You are more like me than I am" is a rare and fortunate thing. Unfortunately, I hold such views as parents hold theirs, and they are only handed to us by the times.
