Hey how do I watch the Aristotle and dante movie I tried streaming it on curiousity stream because they said it would be on there but I can’t find it?

it's not available yet :(!! i rented it through tiff's digital screening so it was only available for 2 days for those who purchased it in canada. hopefully a streaming service picks it up soon and we can all watch it freely 🤞

a week and a half ago i watched aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the universe.

i was able to rent the movie through tiff's digital screening and i have not been the same since. i thought i'd compile some of my thoughts into a disarray here in case anybody was wondering how devastatingly good it is:

first and foremost, i cried so hard i gave myself a headache. i mean i literally have never been more animated about a movie in my life

at one point i accidentally yelled and i live in a very paper thin suite w my landlord and his wife living above me... sorry guys

aitch alberto was THE only person who could have done this. i fully believe that. her direction seeps through, you can tell just how careful every decision was, the sacrifices and love she gave to this movie... it shows. she is brilliant and i am in love w her artistic vision.

it was created with so much fucking love and you can feel it

the way that it opens with smalltown boy by bronski beat... i knew it was over for me

the cinematography is fucking gorgeous. each shot is arranged like artwork.

max and reese UNDERSTOOD the assignment

reese's dante was so sweet. he was so charming and silly and thoughtful and real. his squeaky voice HAD me

you can see him falling in love with ari throughout the film, you can feel his fear, his yearning, his own loneliness, even if it's wrapped in giggly smiles and playfulness

max's ari was unbelievable

genuinely

im not being dramatic here. he was ari mendoza.

max is a beautiful actor. he knew exactly how to show ari's anger, his frustration at the world, at himself. he is a perfect teenager: his jokes fall exactly the way you want them to, the way he interacts with his parents is layered and meaningful and fun. he is such a complex character and it is beautiful to witness

the OUTFITS!!! dante's sunglasses, his cute pastel fits, his bare feet. it is all so perfect

the 80s vibe is there but not in a garish way, it's subtle and it feels authentic

ari's voice was soooooo beautiful. max has the best movie voice

they are so!!! awkward with each other in the most endearing way

the LOOKS. the way that they look at each other is Charged, they must have fucking aced the chemistry read

this movie is freeing, it's a breath of rainy summer air, it's that feeling when you hold someone's hand for the first time. it's butterflies and rainstorms and dancing to someone you're falling for. it's coming of age and coming to terms with yourself, sometimes in ferocious, unexpected ways.

the most shattering moment for me was when we hear dante talk about wanting to marry a boy. the first time that sexuality is broached is Very deliberate and shown in such a tender way. it brought me back to who i was when i first read about these characters: 15 years old, closeted, and living in my parents strict, religious home. i didn't know how to make sense of myself and where i fit in the world. when i read ari and dante, it was the first book id ever read centered on a queer love story. it destabilized me in the best way. now i'm 19, living on my own and i'm proudly out. seeing their love on the screen is such an important thing. to see queer love that is young, that is beautiful and innocent and soft, love that doesn't have borders or rules. jesus christ we need more of this

when i finished watching it, i took an advil for my headache, waited half an hour and then watched it all over again. when this comes out on some streaming service, it WILL be the most watched movie of my life. it will be the comfort movie i watch on rainy days, when i need something to fall asleep to, when i'm sad, when i'm happy, when i am avoiding my homework. it will be THAT movie

not to be dramatic but i haven't stopped thinking about this movie since i watched it. if anyone else on here has seen it, please message me so i can have someone to talk to about ~those~ scenes. and even if you haven't seen it but you'd like to talk abt the movie, pls message!!!!!

gonna go reread the book and cry :-))

grantaire, 50 years after the revolution singing about his long since fallen love. xo.

[drinkwithmoi]

i am. dying. i was reading a book on les mis to get quotes for my research essay on justice in les mis and the author (a french literature professor at princeton) started going off about les mis fanfiction help

[drinkwithmoi]

its so sad that the (1) grantaire i've seen in person (namely: ciaran joyce <3) has no audios or bootlegs because i miss his grantaire more than words could say but there's nothing out there for me to cling to!!! not even a picture!!!! the pain!!!!

(two screencaps of him from opening night, not as grantaire clearly 💔)

[drinkwithmoi]

hi !!! i was wondering if anyone wanted to gift or trade w me for a les mis boot - i don't know how many exist but i would really really really love a 2018 west end version as that was when i was able to see them! but i would also be interested in any west end version or tour! i'm very desperate for any scrap i can get ahaha it would mean the world to me.

(i don't have too much in terms of trading but i have like every anastasia boot u could want as well as plenty of audios w a ton of cast members!)

i hope this reaches someone who can help me out <3 sending love.

[drinkwithmoi]

i wanna know too!!!! he seems like the absolute loveliest dork

Welcome to Australia...

Where an already endangered species is on the brink of functional extinction...

Oh, and 500 million animals unique to this country have already lost their lives, upon homes that have been destoryed and lives lost of people as well...

I mean... we're only living in a literal inferno...

415 fires. Fuck are we dying...

Oh yeah and people are just fleeing to the damn ocean, you know?

Do you want to know what Hell on Earth looks like..?

Because there it is in all it's unfiltered, firey rage...

There it is... my home from space...

This is only the beginning. Our country has not only entered a new decade, it seems a new dawning era as well, because this flaming apocalypse doesn't show any sign of stopping any time soon.

And you know what saddens me? I've never seen Australian tragedies trending here on this website. I mean it's been going on for months and only now does it seem to really be getting recognized, even if it is only at #9.

And I'm going to be honest with you here - the internet, and media in general is so American centric, this website being no exception. You'd think that an entire continent being on fire for several months with devastating consequences would have more recognition, but no, it really doesn't. The most notes I've ever seen on a post about the Australian fires is at least a few thousand, and that's about it.

So just... please. If you can, with this post or any other post in regards to the fires going on down here, reblog. Because the only thing that should be spreading like wildfire, is a post about a burning country...

i don't think we talk enough abt how raymond walsh is literally irl grantaire. his drunken stories on instagram walking thru the streets at night singing w his friends?? him reacting to all of the dumb instagram filters n providing entertaining commentary, of course. him posting a picture of amara (in grantaire's case, enj) and writing "missing this little beauty"?? he's so fun and sweet and encapsulates perfectly how i'd envision irl grantaire. i love (1) man

[drinkwithmoi]

i want to be good. and do good. and be nice to people. and make people happy. and have good and healthy relationships with people. i want to learn to forgive and i want to understand other people. i want to be loved and adored and i want to love and adore

[drinkwithmoi]

it's been over a year since i was able to see this beautiful production and fall in love all over again w this incredible story. you could say i'm missing it a lot right now

[drinkwithmoi]

i don't WANT to live in a society i want to live in a bookstore cafe

[drinkwithmoi]

i love you almost as much as victor hugo loved the Parisian sewers

[drinkwithmoi]

i am in desperate need of "new" grantaire content, in whichever form that may be, and so during the weekend i watched snippets of a bunch of high school productions of les mis on youtube and i would get SO excited when the guy playing grantaire knew his role n was really into it so pleaaase if anyone knows any productions on youtube (or anything you may have a link to) that has a solid grantaire please send it my way. i miss my boy
