This award-winning same-sex movie is both sweet and sad.

Please call me your name is definitely the best same-sex film in 20 17. The film debuted at Sundance Film Festival on 20 17+0, which attracted all the audience to stand up and applaud for a long time. 20 17 1 won the 27th Columbia University. October 20 17 165438+29 was selected as the top ten films of 20 17 by British Empire magazine.

Its score on Douban is as high as 9.2, and some film critics and media people think that she even has the potential to become a classic like Brokeback Mountain.

The film is directed by luca guadagnino and adapted from Andre Simon's novel of the same name, starring Timothée Chalamet, armie hammer and michael stuhlbarg. The story took place in the Italian Riviera in the 1980s. Sudden love, like a beast running out of the forest, caught the body and mind of 17-year-old boy Elio Ai Liou. He fell in love with Oliver, an American doctoral student six years older than him, and traveled to Italy. They were fascinated, hesitant and tempted by each other, which made their lust surge in the process of formation and made a first love lasting only six weeks. This beautiful summer love left an indelible mark on their hearts.

The characters and plot of this film are not as complicated and profound as a hundred years of loneliness, nor as vast and long as love in cholera, spanning half a century. It's just trivial details of daily life that happened in six weeks, but every detail is fascinating: dance, swimming, sculpture, lake water; Country, nostalgia, coziness, summer; Body, intimacy, taboos, hormones ... This same-sex story set in the Italian countryside of 1983 undoubtedly brings together the best elements of the 1980s, which is dazzling, just like the theme song "The Mystery of Love" written and sung by Sufjan Stevens in the film, which is sexy, mysterious, beautiful and sad.

I watched it twice in one night. The first time I saw the end, I realized that the story seemed straightforward, but it implied the gradual spread and increase of emotions, which finally made people cry and hurt. I've always wondered how the story will end. I didn't expect the last long shot to focus on Elio's face. He may be 18 years old. After receiving the news of Oliver's engagement on the phone, his eyes were a little hazy. For four minutes, his youthful face, which reflected the firelight in the fireplace, was full of mixed emotions. The distant window behind me and the snowflakes outside the window made everything float. When his family called him for dinner and called his name, he turned around and the movie came to an abrupt end. I don't know if Elio has dried his tears, and I don't know how he will walk to the table and return to the so-called normal life, but at that moment, I was in pain. I was as painful as him, not only for the loss, but also for the summer of 1983.

I want to know how their story began.

For the first time, you will never pay attention to unimportant details, just like Elliot and Oliver traced their feelings one night after they fell in love. "God, how much time have we wasted? Why don't you give me a hint?" Oliver couldn't help feeling that he had hinted to Ai Liou when he was playing volleyball. That scene is definitely the sweetest temptation. Because of drinking water, Oliver took the opportunity to put his hand on Elliot's right scapula to relax him. However, Elliot at that time still hated Oliver who spoke casually and said "later" in a relaxed and arrogant tone.

This is by no means love at first sight.

Their first meeting was the same as anyone's. They greeted each other and exchanged greetings. Elliot politely gave his room to Oliver, but Oliver was free, loose and casual. I didn't eat with my host family on the first day, but I didn't get up until noon the next day. At the dinner table, I also looked up and drank a large glass of apricot juice. If Elliot's father hadn't introduced his students, you wouldn't have imagined that he was a young philosopher of 14 years old. He is different from those who are well-dressed and like to talk about politics. He is well aware of the beauty and darkness of human nature, exposing the truth to everyone's eyes, without hypocrisy, affectation and absence. Coupled with his handsome face and healthy body, it has undoubtedly brought some fresh breath to this village. When playing volleyball, the girl said, "He is different from the person who came." Yes, they are all different. He has an unruly soul, and his sexiness is not in him.

Unfortunately, not many people can really understand Oliver. I think, together with the girl who deliberately approached him, the Oliver she saw was only one side of him. In public, he stands out, but his attention is elsewhere-Elliot.

Alio, 17 years old, has a handsome face, fair face and strong body. He is immersed in his own world, reading, playing the piano, composing music, and of course, secretly facing the unique sexual impulses of adolescence (such as erotic events) in the cool summer in the leisurely countryside. It's not that he hasn't been with girls. His neighbor, Mathea, is a lovely young girl. Both of them have tasted the forbidden fruit, but you can't feel the passion and enthusiasm that love should have. Elliot seems to be falling in love, sending books, dating and kissing in the way people should ... but he never walks into each other's hearts, and love without heart can never be warm.

Oliver seems to be Airiau's destiny. Although he hated Oliver at first, as he approached each other step by step, he fell hopelessly into it. Sudden and fierce love, like a wild animal running out of the forest, seized Airiau and Oliver's body and mind. The ambiguity of relationship, the flow of lust, infatuation with each other, hesitation and temptation form a frightening but persistent undercurrent in the restless summer. Is there a reason to love someone? I only think that such love is mysterious and inevitable, and it germinates from the depths of their souls. Love to the depths, Oliver said to Elliot, call me your name (please call me your name):

Oliver, Airiau; Oliver, Airiau; Oliver and Ai Liou. ...

As China's poem says, "You are so affectionate when you are jealous of me; Feelings are everywhere and hot as fire: twist a piece of mud into a you and shape a me. Break the two of us together and mix them with water; Twist the other you and shape the other me. I have you in the mud and you have me in the mud. " It turns out that love is such a fusion in the end.

Because of love, every detail is sweet.

For example, the first confession and temptation, the conversation between two people around the fence, Elliot here, Oliver opposite, casually talking about "the most important thing", only two people know, but Oliver, who got the message, chose to restrain and refuse.

Then there is an irresistible tryst in the grass, which seems to be an inevitable process of emotion, as intoxicating as Morris in 1987. (James Ivory, director of Morris, is also a screenwriter of this film. ) They lay side by side in the grass, as if time had stood still and they were as beautiful as utopia.

And before Oliver left, it was hard to be alone with Elliot. In the beautiful town, the green grass and waterfalls are flowing down, which is very similar to their inner feelings. They are finally free and unscrupulous together.

Do you really need a reason to love someone?

Tang Xianzu said, "I don't know what it is, but I am deeply impressed." ?

It happened in the summer of 1983 to two same-sex young people in rural Italy 17 and 24 years old. So, I don't think this is a pure same-sex movie. I prefer to regard it as a truly queer movie in the history of movies. Why do you say queer movies? Because of this new concept, one is the more comprehensive LGBT movies, and the other is the ultimate film value transmission of LGBT movies, which is becoming more and more unbounded.

Boundless, infinite, without judgment. Because love has no boundaries. ?

But how many people will accept such love?

The story takes place in 1983, which is a taboo era, but the image of Elliot's parents in the film is extremely enlightened (a university professor), and the environment is also full of Italian romance, pastoral and casualness: riding a car to the town to get a manuscript and asking an Italian woman to borrow water, stopping by the lake for countless times and putting everything down, only Xiao can jump into the lake and feel light all over ... We seem to forget the pressure of social environment for the time being. If they were me, they might send me to a reformatory. " So, I can understand why Oliver finally got engaged. This treatment of reality and reality undoubtedly puts beautiful love in a utopian perspective. It is because I think it can't be realized that the six-week relationship is more precious.

In this exquisite era of egoism, who will give himself completely without reservation? Finally, Elliot's father said, "In order to make those wounds heal quickly, we made ourselves scarred. By the age of 30, we were all numb. When we start a relationship again, we pay less and less, but it is a waste to refuse to experience it just because we are afraid of being hurt. "

In the summer of seventeen, Elliot gave unreservedly and experienced such passion, warmth and pain of love. When he sent Oliver away, he didn't know how to face his inner loss. His father told him:

"You decide how to live, but remember, our hearts and bodies are only once. When you finally know it, your heart is full of holes. As for your body, it is like this. When no one pays attention, it will naturally heal. Now, you will feel sad and painful. Don't erase this feeling, because happiness is intertwined. "

Real growth begins with falling in love with someone.

The second time I watched the end of the film, Elliot's eyes danced with tears, reflecting the fire of the fireplace, followed by small windows and falling snow. /kloc-in the summer of 0/983, Oliver had the most beautiful snow in his world, but I still can't imagine how to store the memory of that summer in Elliot many years later. Once he was the only one in the secret garden, Oliver was allowed to enter, and the scene of them playing in the water flashed happily in front of them, simple, happy and beautiful.
