Why is "Call Me By Your Name" not a gay film?

I'm just talking about my personal feelings. I'm heterosexual. Although I respect everyone's sexual orientation, I still feel slightly uncomfortable when I see some restricted-level scenes between gay people in the film, so I don't deliberately choose to watch gay people. film (unless its artistic achievement is high, so-called famous).

But watching this movie, I didn't realize the existence of the label of comrade at all. To be precise, there was too much understanding and resonance in the process of watching the movie. The intimacy seems familiar, and even the intimacy peculiar to them is familiar, which is exactly what I have experienced.

So based on this, I personally think that this film transcends gender, it is about love itself.

Yes, to add: The last words a father said to his son apply to us all.

    "Morris" old wine in a new bottle, exported (Italy) to domestic sales (English film), with a little Visconti flavor

    Although I thought of sugar water, I didn't expect the current situation where both beauty and emotion are lacking. From the beginning to the end, I didn't think there was any difficulty in this "impossible love", which can make young people so unforgettable. Not to mention that under the gorgeous appearance of the movie, the emotional context inside is actually sloppy and ambiguous like a paste, and a few auras that are rarely seen in the original book have also been passed by. Not Avory at all, not Visconti at all. Embarrassment everywhere, regret everywhere.

Call Me by Your Name quotes

  • Mr. Perlman: You two had a nice friendship.

    Elio: Yeah...

    Mr. Perlman: You're too smart not to know how rare, how special what you two had was.

    Elio: Oliver was Oliver.

    Mr. Perlman: Parce-que c'etait lui, parce-que c'etait moi.

    Elio: Oliver may be very intelligent but...

    Mr. Perlman: Oh no, no, no. He was more than intelligent. What you two had, had everything and nothing to do with intelligence. He was good. You were both lucky to have found each other, because you too are good.

    Elio: I think he was better than me. I think he was better than me.

    Mr. Perlman: I'm sure he'd say the same thing about you. Which flatters you both.

  • [writing a letter to Oliver, voices overlapping]

    Elio: Please don't avoid me. It kills me. I can't stand thinking you hate me. Your silence is killing me. I'd sooner die than know you hate me. I am such a pussy.

    Elio: [to himself] Way over the top.

    [rips the paper out and writes another note]

    Elio: Can't stand the silence. I need to speak to you.
