raw thoughts.
i literally just got the apricot symbolism— precocious, which comes from the idea of being ”overripe”, directly representing elio
the hellenistic statues, with their ageless beauty, “daring you to desire them”
the star-of-david necklace, how they celebrate hannukah at the end of the movie instead of christmas
is it better to speak or to die? elio spoke, oliver did not.
Favorite Scene
Mr. Perlman: We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new, but to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything - what a waste.
