If it's the details, I'd like to talk about why Elio was so lucky to have his parents' tolerance - because his father was too! And his mother knew!
There is a pair of guests in the film that you must pay attention to, that is, the Gay couple. These two people are not decorations!
Shot 1:
Elio is almost free-range at home, but the mother is persuading her son to wear the ill-fitting clothes. After hearing the evaluation of "Sonny and Cher", the father left the seat angrily. .
Shot 2:
Elio pretends to be smart and thinks he doesn't need to wear that shirt if he doesn't, but his father shuts down the fire! Asked if he was prejudiced against homosexuality, and said, "If you know economics, you'll know that Monier is a very smart economist and, and, uh, an old friend of mine." Here The father was cautious and hesitant about the wording of his relationship with Monier!
Shot 3:
After the two came, the mother's behavior is also worth pondering, exaggerated expressions and laughter, isn't this the posture of seeing her husband's ex! ! !
Shot 4:
At the end, the emphasis is placed directly: "…and i will say one more thing, it'll clean the air. I may come close, but i never have what you two have. Something always hold me back, or stood in the way… "What is "clean the air"? In the translation I read, it was translated as "remove grudges", and I think the translation is quite straightforward!
Therefore, it is easy to see from these 4 shots that Elio's father actually has a story with Monier! And my mom knows it too! !
