Timothee Chalamet helping James Ivory onstage to accept the Adapted Screenplay award for the movie ‘Call Me By Your Name’, EE British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), Royal Albert Hall, February 18, 2018
Every time i rewatch cmbyn i get about 10 minutes into the movie, to the moment where Oliver asks what Elio does for fun, and Elio says “wait for summer to end”. The dramatic irony of that single statement, in light of where the story eventually goes, makes me seriously debate whether my heart is strong enough to watch the rest of the movie. Sometimes I’m literally not ready and stop the film right there.
oh god, i’ve never thought about it like that…great,one more thing to cry about! </3
Oliver: Is there anything you don’t know? Elio: I know nothing, Oliver. Oliver: Well, you seem to know more than anyone else around here. Elio: Well, if you only knew how little I know about the things that matter. Oliver: What “things that matter”? Elio: You know what things. Oliver: Why are you telling me this? Elio: Because I thought you should know. Oliver: Because you thought I should know? Elio: Because I wanted you to know.
