I agree to that. Their love scenes were tastefully done and wasnt vulgar and malicious

I never really felt lustful or horny watching the movie but really got emotional rather
Sorry if i post a lot here but im just so obsessed. And I hope i can talk to someone here who feels the same
Nothing wrong with being passionate about something, it was a beautiful film.
Hopefully he really wins the oscar. Well deserved
He's barefoot all the time in the book too, so it's pretty true to the source material.
"At the table, he decided to sit at my side and, when no one was looking slipped his foot not on top of but under mine. I knew my foot was rough from always walking barefoot; his was smooth; last night I kissed his foot and sucked his toes; now they were snuggled under my callused foot and I needed to protect my protector."
Noooo. You really don't. The book is in four parts, and the film covers the first three. The final section fast forwards to 20 years later, and you find out how their lives unfolded after that Summer. If you thought the ending of the film was sad, then the ending to the book will reduce to you a blubbering mess. I think the film stopped at just the right point. It was poignant, and left just enough of a question in the air.
I know ive read the book. I just wanna see them once more in another movie. Their chemistry was so genuine and organic. I don't mind getting hurt, thats the purpose of the movie and the book, to convey the emotions of the characters. That is what makes this story effective
Yeah im so glad that whole dinner in rome never happened. Such an unnecessary part I hate the way Ollie went to the book signing and didnt wanna show up with Elio together.
Yup. But luca guadagnino the director is really good and I trust him that he can make the sequel as good as the first. Btw, he also mentioned that there are plans and talks for it
yes i love the movie as well. pity that oldman is sweeping the awards. some of the scenes he did are gold. this guy can act and he is only 22. So this is only the beggining
Yeah. Tim is winning awards in film critics awards but I think the Oscar has some biases and favoritism giving the academy to older more experienced actors

And Tim said somewhere how thrilled he is to be nominated alongside actors he respects.
Yes. And I just love how he responded to working with Woody Allen. Such maturity at such a young age
I just love the ending of the book so much. Even though they were living separate lives, after 20 years they talked at the same old house in italy and said they havent forgotten all the things and still kept all the things and letters they got from eachother
i never read the book.. what happens with elio after that lit asf fireplace scene.
This is such a good movie, and he has just the right sexiness to not overtake or oversexualize everything.
Well the fireplace scene doesn't actually take place in the book, so it unfolds slightly differently, but with the same gist.
After Oliver leaves they have a telephone conversation, but nothing revelatory is said in it, then six months later Oliver returns for a visit. It's during this visit that Oliver tells the family about his engagement, and Elio is naturally a little upset - though he hides it - so he ends up going to bed early. Oliver comes up later and goes into Elio's room to see him, Elio is still awake and they talk for a while. It's mentioned that the parents know about the relationship, and they talk about the engagement. Then Elio tries to get Oliver to join him in bed, but Oliver says that he can't and refuses. Elio isn't pleased and they end up falling out.
Twenty years pass. Elio's father his died, his mother seems to have some sort of dementia, Oliver is working as a professor at his old university, and Elio has a job also in the States. The two haven't kept in contact, but Elio's job has him passing through the town where Oliver is, so he steps in to say hello. They catch up together first in Oliver's office, where Elio notices that Oliver has on his wall a postcard which he stole from Elio's room that Summer, which depicts the spot in Italy where they first kissed. It transpires that Oliver has kept track of Elio's career over the years and knows a lot about what he's been doing. Oliver asks Elio to come to his house for dinner to meet his family, but Elio refuses as he can't bear the idea, so they go to the bar in Elio's hotel instead to have a drink.
They talk some more, about how Oliver feels like he's been living a parallel life since that Summer, when their paths diverged and he went away to start his new family, as opposed to the life he could have had with Elio. Elio is still very much single and seems to be as fixated on that Summer as Oliver. The writing all seems to suggest that the love they shared that Summer was special and unique, and nothing else could possibly come close to it, almost like they were soulmates torn apart. There's descriptions of how old the two are now, and what time has done to them physically.
Oliver goes to leave and Elio walks him to his car, and on the way Oliver persuades Elio to come back for dinner with his family. Oliver's oldest son is only two years younger than Elio was when they first met.
A little time later and Elio is back in Italy and Oliver comes to visit him, and they revisit familiar places and mull over old times. Elio still has one of Oliver's old shirts hanging in the wardrobe of his bedroom there.
The book concludes around that point, and they never rekindle their romance.

Oliver visits italy again just to tell them his getting married and cuddles for the last time refusing their desire for each other. The time leaps in the book is really depressing knowing on the times not mentioned they didnt have any communication
