Not just a movie, it has been a long time since I was moved purely by a "beauty" in a work of art, but tonight I was easily moved by Call me by your name.
I've really, really never experienced in a movie that being gay can be so beautiful. This kind of beauty is not mixed with any kind of sympathy and love from the social level. It is only through the selection of ignorant sexual desire, and gradually warms up from confirmed desire to confirmed love, just like the emotional experience that all of us will have, but also From the beginning to the end, all the charms are allowed to be possessed by a charming individual and a charming tendency.
CMBYN's graceful praise of male flesh and gay desire is even enough to make people re-examine the possibility of "gay" breaking away from the labelled division and rising into a genre of film. The reason why same-sex themes have always been "themes" in movies is that they have never escaped the fate of being "played on the subject" because they were faced squarely - Ang Lee used a "Brokeback Mountain" and a "Wedding Banquet" to bring the minority and society together. / The relationship between families is analyzed incisively and vividly, as far as "Happy Birthday" and as close as "Carol", they try to return "same sex" to "love", which seems to be approaching the essence of its existence, but in fact it falls into The limitation brought by an equal perspective is the "no difference" between homosexuality and heterosexuality; last year's "120 BPM" weaved a theme of "life" between homosexuality and the anti-AIDS movement, although It is unprecedented, but it is still just another "play" of this "problem". Features create glamour, and glamour comes from difference: Guadagnino used the "Bold Desire for Your Love" statues on the film, a pair of shorts with a lingering smell, a peach, a warm summer sun, The touch, push and dance driven by hormones again and again by the clear water flowing from the Alps, turning a thousand times, exhausting the most beautiful brushstrokes, frankly and preciously interpreting the throbbing of the only male body and the exclusive comrade Charm. At the same time, how similar the author and director's treatment of this relationship is to Elio's enlightened parents - to the greatest extent possible to weaken the inextinguishable external force for the protagonist of the story, and in a near-vacuum environment, let every trace of emotion be liberated Float freely, encouraging you to immerse yourself in it without looking for an exit.
My best of the year for now. An unexpected and reassuring mainstream choice.
