i get what you mean but then again lets be real, were any of us in love because of someones amazing perosnality when we were teenagers? No, it was because of the way they looked And at best Also had a great personality. But especially at that age hormons do the most talking and just because the feeling of love is primarily fueled by lust doesnt make it less intense.Plus they did get a fair amount of talking done too.
To me Call Me By Your Name was amazing for many reasons. The acting, the visuals, the intenrationality of it, the music, but also the way it ended and how it developed.
Not your typical teenage love story. Gotta give it that. It kinda transcended typical boundaries and I am not talking about the gay aspect of it.
Plus it had a certain level of tenderness that I dont find often in movies.
9/10 from me.
And also added to the well known fact, that gay people DO NOT have as big as a pond to fish in and when someone does find somebody that they mutally desire, are on the same wavelength and considering that Elio was almost an adult and the age gap narrows as one grows older, there was a natural and genuine quality to how this relationship evolved. Oliver was also living up to the expectations of others and I'd say he would have ended up quite unhappy with his choices. Elio had the loving support of his parents.
How would attitudes have played out, if Oliver was a 24yr old hot female seducing a 17yr old boy. Yeah man! He scored!
agreed. I think most straight people don’t realize how much more difficult it is to find a partner and connection with someone when you only have like 5% of the otherwise normal pool.
I mean it’s challenging enough to find someone you click with even when you are straight.
The age gap didn’t bother me at all. In Europe the age of consent is usually 15 and this was a very consensual relationship.
