Seriously, how can an actor put EVERYTHING in the word everything: pure bliss, amazement, love, worry about what it all means. You can hear this word coming straight from Elio’s soul. It’s a very similarly weighted delivery as the line “You know what things” at the Piave monument and you can’t help but feel all the things that Elio feels at this moment.
So no wonder Oliver acted on his feelings, how can you not when the one you have loved from afar opens up his heart the way Elio does.
I stumbled upon these awesome pictures on Reddit. The original source is Tumblr, but I can’t seem to find the original post. So credit to the original poster!
The top one? Did I ever mention how much I love that moment? Oliver’s ‘better now?’ and Elio just goes ‘nah, not really, I’m so desperate for more that I’m going to kiss you again, but I’m not just going to kiss you, I’m going to climb right over you in order to do it’.
Man, can we appreciate how beautiful both of their profiles are? It’s SICK! And look at their immersion/commitment to the scene. Help!
