      Isaac Davis haha want? I remember when gay's didn't want to have to label everything about gay's, gay. Now, it's the reverse apparently? I'm BI and make music. Should I fucking label my music and myself as BI? That's fucking so lame to me. I'd rather be labeled a musician than a bi musician. You don't label straight people like that. Cuz that's be fucking dumb.

    • @chokabitch9342
      @chokabitch9342 6 років тому +68

      Isaac Davis because it’s just a love story why can’t you stop separating gays from everyone else. By your logic You have a love story which is straight and a gay love story which is gay but why can’t they both just be love stories? by adding gay it’s separating the fact that the movie can be a love story without having to say “it’s a *gay* love story”. The saying is so that it would be treated like any other love story and that’s what people are looking for normalization and equality of being gay

    • @is-yn6jf
      @is-yn6jf 6 років тому +27

      Its the implication that a gay love story cant have universal appeal so people feel the need to be like its not just for gays! Its just a love story!

    I get what you mean by this video, but as a member of the LGBTQ+ community myself, I found Call Me By Your Name to be an extremely empowering movie. It is actually one of my favorite movies ever. While I do think that some of Armie and Timothee's interviews questions did focus on them being straight a bit too much, I think we have to blame the interviewers rather than the actors. And the director was the one who right away wanted Armie and Timothee for this movie. I believe they didn't even audition. And it was an independent film. I doubt either of them went into the movie with ill intent. If anything, I find their openeness to playing gay characters, when they aren't gay themselves, to be a lesson to homophobic people. There is no shame in being gay. Armie and Timothee have helped to portray that.

    @miaskates2601 6 років тому +29

    I'm a lesbian and I don't have a problem with straight people playing lgbt characters. Imagine if we held the same standards for straight characters. Hayley Kiyoko wouldn't get most or all of her roles and probably never would've made it at all. Actors are meant to portray people who they aren't, they're meant to be someone else or someone that they don't fully understand because it's their job. You don't become an actor to be yourself.

    • @reneelucero2923
      @reneelucero2923 5 років тому +6

      @Anna Lara Portraying LGBT people SHOULD be taken with care, but straight actors can do that very well. In fact, if a character is a stereotype, that usually has nothing to do with the actor, it has to do with the writers or directors, actors just act how they're told. So I do think straight people should be able to play gay characters as much as they like, it's on the directors and writers to write complex, well rounded gay characters.

  • @ma-dr5te
    @ma-dr5te 6 років тому +23

    yes! I loved call me by your name and I understand that casting straight characters to play gay roles is just like casting gay characters to play straight roles. But sometimes it feels like the media just cover how "ground breaking" it is for 2 straight white men to play "gay characters".. when the media could have at least tried to mention the struggles that the characters they were playing had to go through... and the daily struggles that REAL gay people have to go through in those situations. Gaaah this video was perfect.

At the same time, they blatantly skip or move the bottle slightly when it lands on two guys, because “two guys kissing is unimaginable and not straight enough”. That’s unfortunately how shitty our society is... 🙄
