It's going to be a sad day when James Ivory dies. He has given me some of cinemas most treasured films.
absolutely.... HIGH ART......Loved Call me... but also Maurice, Howards End and Room with a view and Passage to India
@@timothyj1966 'A passage to India' was directed by David Lean 😊
Yeah I don't want to hear tht news 😑
I loved Maurice so much, it really showed the reality of not just forbidden love, but rejection and pain. I’m glad Morrie ended up happy in the end, if only Clive allowed himself to have that same joy.
Dude same
Thank you for making me cry in just two lines🙂
Clive was never going to win if he chose his heart. Few people realize that Clive was already a broken man before he met Maurice. That is the great tragedy of his character. His life was already planned out for him the minute he was born. Belonging to the landed gentry, titled and heir made it that he had very little control of his destiny. Clive knew from a young age he was gay and suffered for it. Religious, sensitive and an intellectual he had a nervous breakdown at 16 and had to be removed from school. He alienated himself from the other boys growing up for fear he might corrupt another boy. Clive was torn between a sense of duty and love and he ultimately sacrificed the latter to keep the former. The change Kit Hasketh-Harvey and James Ivory with Clive's change of heart was much better in the movie than the book.
holy spoilers lmao welp
What made Maurice so special for me is how it dealt with the heartbreak and loneliness. It really changed my life.
James Ivory is a cinematic genius, a man who has created so many fantastic masterpieces. We owe him so much, God bless you Sir.
I wish I could stay as lucid as James is with 90 years old. Seamless.
Well, we can't be sure about what is going to happen now in the sequel, but to anyone who did read the book, we know that Elio been in plenty other relationships after Oliver and some of them even made him feel like he finally got over it, but everytime they meet again Elio realizes that he may have loved many people in his life, but he never did and never will love anyone like he has always loved Oliver. To me, this is great love, that kind that never actually dies.
The last section of the novel, in which they meet again exactly twenty years later, starts with the sentence "Last summer he finally did come back." It makes me wonder what happens after the account of their last reunion, at the present time of the novel's narrative, and what happens afterwards.
If we were to follow the novel's setting of the entire story beginning in the summer of 1988, that would make the reference of the last summer they meet in 2008. Later that year, Barack Obama was elected, and California voted for Prop 8 that overturned gay marriage, initiating a stream of activism and court challenges for marriage equality. During that time, Obama had also ended "Don't Ask Don't Tell," reversed the administration's stance on DOMA, and become the first sitting president to support full equality for LGBT citizens. Would Elio or Oliver be led, or influenced in any way by this Zeit Geist that eventually brought the 2013 SCOTUS decision of Windsor and the 2015 decision of Obergefell? I look forward to an ultimate happy ending between the two, but would accept whatever character development that needs to occur.

It's not a love story - Elio was used and manipulated by Oliver. The characters have no development. The sequel is as bad as Aciman's ripp off Lolita writing style... ( Lolita is a good read though- sad story)
Every time I watch anything related to CMBYN I begin to tear up. One year later and this film continues to impact me. I hope it always does.
I hope it always does ❤️
Every single Movie this man is involved with...will take you back to your first recollections of First Love
Oh WOW I didn't know Ivory wrote Call Me By Your Name. I love the scene with Chalamet and his father on the couch, the closing scene in front of the fire and Sufjan Steven's wonderful tracks..
I watched CMBYN in like 2018 maybe and its 2021 and im still not over it.
James ivory and ismail merchant were in a relationship for 44 years.I wish someone would love me like that
"He may be Jewish or Muslim"
We know he's talking about his own love life. Beautiful, though.
or could be EM Forster's. One of Forster's lovers was Egyptian Muslim
I think Elio is brokenhearted because of Oliver till his dying day.
After reading the book, i cant get over these two. ❤ there love was so tender
Beautiful , sweet n bitter
Come on you guys, also watch Maurice (1987)
I hope Timothee reported it to the police when he was robbed of an Oscar.
Este señor se llevó un oscar.por adaptar un libro para una película. Creo también que deberían haberle dado un Oscar al actor que hizo de Elio pues su actuación fue magistral.pero bueno
Grande filme👬💕😀👍💫
I love call me by your name and I can't wait for a sequel but what does this have to do with the Kanye West album on the thumbnail
Hope to see the Q&A from the cmbyn screening
MAURICE>>>
I liked Maurice more. CMBYN just had creepy vibes because Elio was 17 and Oliver wss 24. It didn't help that Armie looked so much older and Timothie looked younger than 17. I'm not even entirely convinced Oliver loved Elio. Elio loved him for sure but Oliver seems to toy with Elio's feelings - hot then cold. Getting him turned on only to leave him wanting. Its a pretty toxic relationship.
Very true- Aciman tried to be a smart ass ripping off some Lolita....Elio and Oliver " relationship" was toxic as Oliver just used/ manipulated Elio and drained him emotionally but people praise is as love story ( well Americans)..i didn't get from them any healthy romantic vibes. Maurice is far better story
I feel you, Maurice is better in general, and there are kinda creepy vibes with their age gap, it can feel uncomfortable at times. However, I still think it's a good movie, because there are certain aspects with which people can reflect themselves upon them. Plus, if you haven't done it already, I'd recommend you the book. I personnally think it is better than the movie, and you will realise Oliver is not actually as bad/mean as you think he is.
I find it so sad he always writes about forbidden love. As if taking from his experience
