It’s difficult not to compare André Aciman’s book to Guadagnino’s film version. The film is essentially a streamlined version of the novel, removing everything that doesn’t revolve around the romance between the two leads and relying so much on their performances to carry its narrative. It’s an effective approach, but so much is lost by removing the protagonist’s inner monologue from the book. Aciman’s themes are much better communicated by having the reader experience Elio’s turbulent emotions; we see him pick apart every line of dialogue and analyze it, we see his mind work as it shifts from soul crushing grief to euphoric bliss, we see him try and fail to understand and tame the emotions that haunt him. Its by spending so much time in his head that the tragedy of Elio failing to proclaim his love soomer becomes all the more impactful. Did I forget to mention how sexy the novel is? There are some lines written in here that would definitely have not made the film version, TBH. I’d definitely give this book a read, especially if you fell in love with the film as much as I did. #cmbyn #bookreviews #mho #books #bookstagram #photography #bookshelf #romance #lgbt #history #historical

Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything’s okay. I don’t make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything’s not okay.

Rumble Fish (1983)

“Made conventionally and Rumble Fish would still sting. It would also resemble The Outsiders, which was released just a few months earlier and was also directed by [Francis Ford] Coppola and adapted from a novel written by S.E. Hinton. Rumble Fish, though, is the more interesting of the two films. The Outsiders adaptation lifts the words from the page and manages to come up with a satisfying page-to-screen transition. But Rumble Fish explores the dramatic possibilities of the novel and filters them through the lens of 1950s rock ‘n’ roll movies tonally and German Expressionism visually. And it’s refreshing to see the standard teen movie executed with such a generous helping of reverie.”

Just some tips.. ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ

I feel like one of the most ironically sexist things that happened to women heroes for so long was that they had universal storytelling taken away from them. So, male superheroes could have Lois Lane. They can have love, they can have vulnerability, they can have complexity. But women superheroes or strong women characters had to be, ‘I don’t need anyone, I’m the toughest person in the world.’ That’s not fair to anybody. No human being is an island like that.

I have this feeling that Wonder Woman director Patty Jenkins is a romance reader.
