Since the movie came out, I have literally been binge-watching all the reactions. As a 73 yo gay man, this is the first time I've really been invested - heart and soul as it turns out - in their story. Each time I rewatch, I laugh at the same jokes, even though now I can quote them. And my eyes tear up in between the jokes. I love how the two of them use little tricks of their expression to convey so much - a twitch of a smile at the corner of a mouth, a downward glance, a tightening of a jaw muscle. Some of my favorite parts of the expression on Alex's face as he sees Henry talking to a sick kid. The few seconds they gave us was more than enough to establish a key point in Alex's change in feelings. "Vicky!" to say that in England in front of royalty is a hoot. The whole New Year's Eve scene, where Alex is flirting with Henry the entire time (even though he doesn't seem to be self-aware), paying attention, sticking with him. And Henry realizes it until it all comes crashing down in Henry's mind when he sees Alex kissing others, not kissing him, and even so, Henry could not openly kiss back. The tears in Henry's eyes as he withdraws to outside. And of course, the KISS.
I’m so happy you get to see this story on screen. And from one gay to another thank you for all you’ve done for our community, this can’t exist your sacrifices of years past
This is so wholesome. Have you read the book yet? It goes so much deeper into their backstories and other characters as well, I think it’s even better than the movie because it gives us so much more time to get to know and love the characters
It's understandable for those that haven't read the book to think it's weird though. They should have either skipped it all together or had it not be the first time Alex called him that.
It’s so strange, since the movie objectively has these cheesy, corny moments and overtones…even some of the acting. Yet, as you noted, it’s so rewatchable! And cute and gives you the feels! Thanks for the reaction.
My obsession with this film is so strange. I’m usually a film snob. /!: there’s a lot of technical things for me to not like about this story but it’s become such a comfort film for me that I just throw it on at the end of the night or keep it on in the backgrounds, I loved it
As I go deeper to this movie, I've just realized that there are background details that often only fans realized. Such as 'Spare' (Prince Harry) and Victoria and Albert museum (V&A are the most romantic royal couple).
@@zitronentee the term spare isn’t a new term to Prince Harry and film actually gets it’s wrong bc I believe the sister in the film is technically the spare as the second in line.
@@Knightowl1980 Henry is the younger brother. And considering the change in 2010s in UK monarch, the eldest child is the next in line, regardless gender. Then again, this movie is fiction.
Whatever faults or flaws or criticisms could be levelled at this film, it really doesn't matter as you just lose yourself in such a heart-warming story which thankfully is so far removed from the sleaze, vulgarity, cheating, sex parties, drugs, threesomes, open relationships and all the rest of it which sadly seems to be what often defines gay life!! What a breath of fresh air for those who want to identify with this romantic and possible image of gay life. I hope there is a sequel soon as the demand is definitely there. And even a TV series to explore the story in more detail would be wonderful but I'd want it to be with the same actors in all the roles.
So true! I mean, I'm not against open relationships or threesomes at all but that's just not for everyone. So it's really nice to see a different type of relationship being portrayed. We definitely need more gay feel good romcoms, they're amazing and help shape a better and more understanding future!
I just love these two leads and this movie!! Been watching all the reactions to it recently. And their interviews together are hilarious. Glad you enjoyed it too!!
Too bad the industry treats many of its employees like shit, so that the strikes are necessary on one hand, but Taylor, Nicholas and all the others are being robbed of their so well deserved attention. Uma, too, I haven't seen her for quite a while, so RWRB could have been her 'yes, guys, I'm still there and a force to reckon with' moment. I hope that doesn't damage the friendship between the boys. U know, first they spend this so very intensive weeks together, become so close, so soon, are able to do at least some interviews and photo shoots (GQ, wasn't it?), but then, nothing. Sure, after a project is done, the actors all go their merry ways, doing new stuff etc. But the usual press stuff once a movie is published and therefore opportunities to rekindle and meet again couldn't happen. Plus, like Alex and Henry, they live far apart from each other.
@@svenheimes2494 yeah that’s so sad :( I support the strike. I just hope that everything gets resolved in a good way, but selfishly I’d like it to happen soon. It does suck that such incredible actors and a sweet wholesome movie like this isn’t getting the promotion it and they deserve. Very good point.
Just for clarifications' sake, Nicholas Galitzine (Henry) has stated he identifies as straight and Taylor Zakhar Perez (Alex) has not publicly shared a label for himself!
It’s so nice to see a silly Rom-com with all the tropes and in main stream but with queer characters. As someone who’s watched every romcom of the early 00s this stands up to the best of them and it’s just the story between two characters. The fact they’re queer plays a big part yes, but them falling for each other and the silliness could be in any movie of the genre and I think that’s massively important and what the queer community has needed.
I don't know where did they find these two lead actors, but they did a fantastic job! The chemistry, intimacy is perfect! On that scene , they really were making love! It wasn't just a s*e*x. It was the first time that I saw this gay s*e*x scene so beautiful. Most of them are very quick and rushy. And from behind! It really showed that it was the first time for Alex ,and the first time for Henry with the one he is in love with. I have red the book last year. I mean... great adaptation from the book. And, I think that the museum was a sign that he could feel that he could easily and without fear walk among people and be himself. Dance with someone you like without anyone watching or judging you. And also, don't forget that Henry always wanted to be a writer. So I was not surprised by the emails he sent to Alex! He really knows what to write and how to write!
We have seen the fairy tale of a love with a happy ending 1000 times and more in straight movies. But the fact that this is now shown as one of the few exceptions with a gay couple is more or less a revolution. Maybe it is too much to ask for an Oscar for whoever or whatever in this movie. But even without one, it will be remembered for a long time. The chemistry of the actors is pure gold.
I have lost count how many I have watched this movies, definitely is my favorite movie, I think I have a problem, I can't get over the chemistry between Taylor and Nick , I need to see more of them together ❤
Well just say they adopted Charlie and Tori and payed more love and attention to them than their parents do 🫶🏼🤣 but Nick is Henry’s favorite child by extension
Where Henry takes Alex is, in reality as in the movie, the Victoria and Albert Museum. The crew was not allowed to add any lights or other equipment inside the Museum, so they had to work with what was there. In your summing up, the idea were trying to convey was most famously said in the 1950s in The Wolfenden Report to the British House of Commons: Between consenting adults in private.
I’m a 60 years old heterosexual female and every time I watch it I am in tears again and In joy and of course it’s so romantic… And it has so many important issues that this story addresses for society all over the world and for humanity that many people are struggling with, that I wish I had a podcast to stop at each moment and talk about all these issues that this movie brings up and sheds light on… I have my own thoughts and ideas about the issues presented, even more than what’s obvious in the movie, from my own life experience, that I wish I did have a podcast right now to shed some light on things and ask questions… But definitely they’re such good actors it’s well casted it dealt with important subjects that are relevant for the times… It was very healing for me to see people fight for their individuality and freedom to be… I have to say I watched it few times I loved it of course because I’m a hopeless romantic but also because I care about the world and the issues that humanity is going through… and this movie sheds light on these issues that matter to me and I’m sure many other people… So I think it deserves some awards I don’t know if it will get any but I think it definitely deserves some…Especially the two lovers…But if I was voting, I would vote for Taylor Zakhar Perez❤👏👏✌️👌
Some of my most favorite movies have scenes where my tears well up - like It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th St., Hidden Figures. These I keep rewatching over the years. I've never seen a movie where I keep rewatching it literally as frequently as I can. Going to have to attend the RWRB Anonymous, perhaps, but not yet.
RWRB Anonymous - that's Gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But yeah, I should probably join. Seriously, it's not healthy anymore^^ And yes, the movie has its flaws - production value, some of the writing, the development of the side characters, the pacing to a certain extent. The acting though I find impeccable. I'm about to watch it for the 3rd time right about now, have seen NUMEROUS reactions...there's sth relaxing, heart-touching and soul-warming about RWRB. The chemistry is off the charts, Taylor and Nicholas are amazing.
I was deeply obsessed with the book when i first read it and then i became veeeery obsessed with the movie when it came out cause it's so good, and yes they had to cut a lot of things, changed some others, left out some narratives but still it worked so well, i'm really glad people are loving it
Great review. The author is already working on book 2. For so long, the straight community has had their share of movie love stories, and as a 65-year-old gay man, I'm so happy we now have one of our own. Thanks again for a great review.
This became my favorite queer movie and book in no time. I read the book for the first time when I found out a movie was realeasing. I finnished it in 2 weeks and had to wait a week for the movie. Even getting a tattoo with the History Huh, Bet We Could Make Some quote as a tattoo with a ring and key
Taylor and Nick could be our Bogie and Bacall if they were willing an Amazon is able. They don't need to do a sequel to this story; they could do a whole series of movies and rom-coms of different stories. Build a damn gay Hallmark Channel around these two. Also, bottle some of their extra chemistry and sell it as a sexy cologne!
I really wish someone with power in the industry would see this comment and also realize just how much I would be willing to pay on a monthly basis to enjoy all the Taylor/Nick remakes & other content involving them & their amazing chemistry together.
Alex and Henry are adorkable. The side characters add so much especially Ellen teaching all parents how to parent and Zahra giving sister vibes and HBIC vibes at the same time. This is how you do a queer slushy.
Made me smile seeing you pop up among my recomendations! Watched all your PTX reactions and have recently binged reactions to this movie! Lovely to see your friendly face pop up!
I think Pride & Prejudice is a good comparison of how this movie could have gone, considering there are several movies of the story. I have to admit I never paid any attention to Jane Austen, until I saw three "rugby-type" men react to the most recent movie. They were rolling with laughter, with the movie, not against. I watched that, the 1940 black-n-white one, and the 6-part series. For any Austen fan, the longest one may still not have been long enough, but it probably mostly got Austen fans to watch it. The most recent one changed dialogue (generally a no-no with her words) to make it more punchy and relevant to today's younger audience. And like me, many will follow up with the series. In other words, the short one was a sort of "gateway drug" to the longer one. So I think many fans of this book would always clamor for more and yet fewer people proportionately would watch it. I didn't read the book until after I saw the movie. All the extra details in the book seem like a way to expand on the movie, as I read every line with the actors firmly in mind, instead of seeing the movie as a reduction of the book. Okay, back to watching it again.
Agree with you that this would be great as a series. It did feel rushed at points, especially the first thirty minutes. But it was fun, and I’ll watch it again at the end of the year during the holidays along with Heartstopper and Single All The Way.
Omg!! My 2nd ship after Nick and Charlie!! I love Alex and Henry so much! This movie is beyond beautiful. But, you're right. It felt rushed in some parts.. as the one who read the book already... I felt that they cut so many scenes... that I think if it's not deleted it will be an iconic one. Thanks for reacting to Red, White & Royal Blue... Travis! Yes.. they're adorable.. (P.S. by the way... you missed the after credit scene here. If you want to watch it again.. please stay until after the credit😁)
It is impossible to imagine other characters forAlex an Henry than this two guys, the chemistry is perfect and they transmit love, fear, romanticism, lots of feelings just seeing them...
Great reaction! And the idea of a 'Royal Family' may seem weird but it's tradition. And I like that. There will always be Royals around. Anyways... great reaction.
I’m not sure, but I think this is one of my favourite reactions to this film so far… um.. not that I’ve been watching them ALL, you understand…. Ahem 😅.
New sub here! I see you are from Detroit. Kalamazoo here. I LOVE this movie. I hadnt read the book before the movie so I had no idea what to expect. Now I had Santal 33 cologne, wax melts, diffuser oil, "History huh?" tshirts, sweatshirts, and the collector's edition of the novel comes tomorrow. Great video!
no ones mentioned this yet but i love that the person who has an issue with their relationship, the british grand dad is played by known queer actor stephan fry who totally normally be on board for all of this. i think they were going for irony and i love it. edit also bc i dont have netflix ive been binging the hell outta people reactions of this
They do not identify as straight they infact identify as anything at all.. it’s their choice to keep their private live and their sexual identities a secret. They probably have their own reasons. Tht I think is wht Alex is talking abt in his speech.. YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK… it’s a totally different thing for the movie they’re both brilliant on their own but u should definitely should read it… I agree with you they should hv done a series. And there seem to be a shout out for a 2nd movie so… who knows… let’s hope for the best… love your reaction.. I felt how honest you felt abt the movie and it was so refreshing to see…
The original cut of the movie was 3 hours, and there is clamoring for Amazon to release the uncut version. There's also talk of a possible sequel - Casey McQuiston did write a bonus chapter in the hardback version featuring Henry's POV over the next 6 years or so. Plus she is now talking about writing a sequel novel. So, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Alex and Henry yet! I read the book and yes, this is an "adaptation" which omits/combines characters and subplots. But overall, it stays very true to the soul of the original novel. And I love it, too!
I'm retired from the motion picture post-production industry and with the introduction of non-linear editing and shooting with digital cameras the first cut of a lot of movies include almost everything, with the knowledge that a lot of what was shot will not make the final cut. The 3 hour cut will be of the raw footage. All of the steps involved in "finishing" the movie starts only after the picture is locked, so to bring the 3 hour cut up to release standards would be very expensive. Would I like to see it? Sure. Do I expect to see it? No.
@@andremaloney4128 Maybe you can explain what exactly is "an assembly" of a film, which is what the director of the movie Matthew Lopez says was 2 hours 45 minutes? He said it was shot and strung together. What I don't understand is what is not considered acceptable with an "assembly" that directors don't want it to see the light of day.
@@kekwayblaze3176 Sure thing, just note that some of the details in what follows may have changed with the advent of all digital film making. You've probably seen out-takes that include the slate (clapper) at the beginning of the shot and that also includes the director calling out "cut" at the end. If the director likes the shot, they will also say "print it" or "print that one". When that happens the camera operator will make a note in the film log (traditionally by circling the take number). The next day, usually at lunch, the director, producers and department heads will watch the circled takes (called dailies or rushes) to make sure there are no technical issues. once the dailies are approved, they go to editorial and, once enough footage of a scene has been approved the editing can begin. So the assembly is just the raw footage strung together so that all the dialog is put together in script order. You might consider this a "technical" edit as opposed to a "creative" edit. Once the creative editing starts, the film will go through several edits in order to get to the release version. During the creative editing of say Alex's speech, they may use sentences from several takes in the final edit, where they would have just used one take for the assembly. Hope that helps.
@@andremaloney4128 Thank you! That really explains it to someone who is not involved in the movie business. Now I understand what the director of the film, Matthew Lopez was talking about when he said there was 2 hour 45 min assembly of the film.
I loved your reaction so much!! 😍 If you can, pls read the book to understand much more of their story! ❤️🤍💙 Tyler and Nick chemistry is beyond words! 🔥 This movie means so much for me and as bi myself im so grateful that we have more and more representation on movies and tv shows!! 🏳️🌈💖💜💙 Romcoms are back!! And i love it even more when includes queer characters !🥰🏳️🌈
As someone who read the book before this was even announced i loved the movie for what it was. Are there things they changed that i wish they hadn’t? Of course, but when i heard prime was doing it i had very little faith. It was a lot better than I expected. If you haven't read the book. You should.
British humour, sarcasm hiding the truth. Remember Henry fell in love with Alex at first sight, years before. To have been brought together like this, to having to feign friendship when Henry desperately wants more, while still being "enemies" is a hard call. In the words of Galitzine's song Comfort - "you push, and I pull back."
While we are all enjoying this movie, and perhaps the book as well,❤🧡💛💚💙💜, please remember that men loving other men will result in them being labeled deviant or worse. Also in some countries it will result in imprisonment or execution. Stephen Fry, bless him, has been active fighting this discrimination.
Rewatched this tonight can't get enough of it adore the romance between Alex and Henry the two leads have amazing chemistry now I am reading the book By, Casey McQuiston.
You're absolutely right about things being left out. As sweet and lovely as the movie is, it's still a bare-bones outline of the book, which I've read at least 7 times and HIGHLY recommend. It does everything the movie does, just 10× better 🥰🏳️🌈💕
Apparently they filmed so much that could've been a 3 hour movie, including that deleted Cornetto scene. I would watch the whole thing and love to see how much of the movie they were able to include. The book is one of my comfort media and I miss June and Amy as characters
Agreed, the book is epic, but not everyone reads these days. The movie is the gateway drug. I read the book second, (having not heard of it before on this side of ‘ the pond’, and was blown away by the sumptuous details of the emails. It’s been a two pronged attack on my senses. Love.😅
Since the movie came out, I have literally been binge-watching all the reactions. As a 73 yo gay man, this is the first time I've really been invested - heart and soul as it turns out - in their story.

Some of my favorite parts of the expression on Alex's face as he sees Henry talking to a sick kid. The few seconds they gave us was more than enough to establish a key point in Alex's change in feelings.
"Vicky!" to say that in England in front of royalty is a hoot.
The whole New Year's Eve scene, where Alex is flirting with Henry the entire time (even though he doesn't seem to be self-aware), paying attention, sticking with him. And Henry realizes it until it all comes crashing down in Henry's mind when he sees Alex kissing others, not kissing him, and even so, Henry could not openly kiss back. The tears in Henry's eyes as he withdraws to outside. And of course, the KISS.
Love it !!
omg, try reading or listening to the book. you'll love it
I’m so happy you get to see this story on screen. And from one gay to another thank you for all you’ve done for our community, this can’t exist your sacrifices of years past
This is so wholesome. Have you read the book yet? It goes so much deeper into their backstories and other characters as well, I think it’s even better than the movie because it gives us so much more time to get to know and love the characters
Another 73 year old gay man here agrees with all you said !
I’m starting to think that I’m watching reactions to this movie just to see how they react to the “baby” line. Good job, sir! 😊
Thanks :)!
It's understandable for those that haven't read the book to think it's weird though. They should have either skipped it all together or had it not be the first time Alex called him that.
Me too
Me to see everyone hates Miguel 😂
Tell me I need therapy, I'm on my 20th watch and still counting. Swooniest movie of the year.
Yeah...actually THIS is the swooniest film at least for this year!
I've watched it twice today lol
The sub-20 watchers are those that need the therapy, oh wise one.
Honestly same and I cry each time
Therapy may be not the badest idea at all.....I passed my 25th watching, yesterday. What is it, with that movie? Can"t stop watching! 🌈❤🎊😍😍🎉💕

Yeah me too. Like when Henry reacts to the firecrackers in the hospital BEFORE they actually go off...
“They are both a snack”…100% agree! So frickin’ hot! 🥵

Turning it into a limited series would definitely have helped. Read the book... the interactions between Alex and Henry are so much more and touching.
Just for clarifications' sake, Nicholas Galitzine (Henry) has stated he identifies as straight and Taylor Zakhar Perez (Alex) has not publicly shared a label for himself!
Maybe he will fall in love with a person
Fun fact: the person with zahra and Ellen in 37:06 is the author of the book, Casey mcquiston

They ARE adorable and the chemistry is AMAZING!! Love them!

The chemistry, intimacy is perfect!
On that scene , they really were making love! It wasn't just a s*e*x. It was the first time that I saw this gay s*e*x scene so beautiful. Most of them are very quick and rushy. And from behind!

Alex's classic line "Baby..." sums it all. Henry felt like a helpless slave of love upon hearing that word.
I'm sooooo obsessed with this movie, like seriously lol For me, at the end, Alex and Henry adopted Nick and Charlie 🥺♥️
that would mean they'd be brothers 💀
Well just say they adopted Charlie and Tori and payed more love and attention to them than their parents do 🫶🏼🤣 but Nick is Henry’s favorite child by extension
Nick Charlie?
These guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We would never survive.
This is my current comfort film and the fact its on your channel so soon is amazing!!!!!
Same ☺️
I have said those exact words..why is the world so damn worried about who people love??!? Life is too short to not be happy!

It for sure should have been a limited series. It's a shame they didn't go that route to truly capture the full essence of the book
needs a sequel
travis was so mad at miguel 😆 he better watch his back
🤣💀
Stephen Fry as the king was a brilliant casting choice!
I agree with you that want it to be a tv series because i want to see it more than 2 hours
I could’ve kept watching! I was sooo bummed when it ended. They should make a series…it’s never too late. Just keep going and never stop 😂
I’m a 60 years old heterosexual female and every time I watch it I am in tears again and In joy and of course it’s so romantic… And it has so many important issues that this story addresses for society all over the world and for humanity that many people are struggling with, that I wish I had a podcast to stop at each moment and talk about all these issues that this movie brings up and sheds light on… I have my own thoughts and ideas about the issues presented, even more than what’s obvious in the movie, from my own life experience, that I wish I did have a podcast right now to shed some light on things and ask questions… But definitely they’re such good actors it’s well casted it dealt with important subjects that are relevant for the times… It was very healing for me to see people fight for their individuality and freedom to be… I have to say I watched it few times I loved it of course because I’m a hopeless romantic but also because I care about the world and the issues that humanity is going through… and this movie sheds light on these issues that matter to me and I’m sure many other people… So I think it deserves some awards I don’t know if it will get any but I think it definitely deserves some…Especially the two lovers…But if I was voting, I would vote for Taylor Zakhar Perez❤👏👏✌️👌

I was deeply obsessed with the book when i first read it and then i became veeeery obsessed with the movie when it came out cause it's so good, and yes they had to cut a lot of things, changed some others, left out some narratives but still it worked so well, i'm really glad people are loving it
As long as you love instead of hate who gives AF who you love
Ah the idea of the series: lovely! I just adored the uplifting message in this movie. Thanks for the great reaction!
This movie has been my personality since it came out.
You are so right! Let people love who they want! I'm 69 and I really don't understand this obsession with other people's love lives
Great review. The author is already working on book 2. For so long, the straight community has had their share of movie love stories, and as a 65-year-old gay man, I'm so happy we now have one of our own. Thanks again for a great review.
Could not agree more about the tv series!!!! We want longer story telling!!
So obsessed with this movie and the book. One of my favourite love stories ❤
This became my favorite queer movie and book in no time. I read the book for the first time when I found out a movie was realeasing. I finnished it in 2 weeks and had to wait a week for the movie. Even getting a tattoo with the History Huh, Bet We Could Make Some quote as a tattoo with a ring and key
Taylor and Nick could be our Bogie and Bacall if they were willing an Amazon is able. They don't need to do a sequel to this story; they could do a whole series of movies and rom-coms of different stories. Build a damn gay Hallmark Channel around these two. Also, bottle some of their extra chemistry and sell it as a sexy cologne!
I really wish someone with power in the industry would see this comment and also realize just how much I would be willing to pay on a monthly basis to enjoy all the Taylor/Nick remakes & other content involving them & their amazing chemistry together.
Every time I see the cake fall, I think of how many wooden dowels must be in it, and how much it must really hurt.
Yes!!!! ❤ I absolutely screamed when I saw that you reacted to this movie ❤
I am so glad you finally reacted to this movie
Alex and Henry are adorkable. The side characters add so much especially Ellen teaching all parents how to parent and Zahra giving sister vibes and HBIC vibes at the same time.
This is how you do a queer slushy.
Made me smile seeing you pop up among my recomendations! Watched all your PTX reactions and have recently binged reactions to this movie! Lovely to see your friendly face pop up!
I agree, it would be so much more lovely if it's a series. I love them so much and I want more. I need a sequel.
I think Pride & Prejudice is a good comparison of how this movie could have gone, considering there are several movies of the story.
I have to admit I never paid any attention to Jane Austen, until I saw three "rugby-type" men react to the most recent movie. They were rolling with laughter, with the movie, not against. I watched that, the 1940 black-n-white one, and the 6-part series.
For any Austen fan, the longest one may still not have been long enough, but it probably mostly got Austen fans to watch it. The most recent one changed dialogue (generally a no-no with her words) to make it more punchy and relevant to today's younger audience. And like me, many will follow up with the series. In other words, the short one was a sort of "gateway drug" to the longer one.
So I think many fans of this book would always clamor for more and yet fewer people proportionately would watch it.
I didn't read the book until after I saw the movie. All the extra details in the book seem like a way to expand on the movie, as I read every line with the actors firmly in mind, instead of seeing the movie as a reduction of the book. Okay, back to watching it again.
Agree with you that this would be great as a series. It did feel rushed at points, especially the first thirty minutes. But it was fun, and I’ll watch it again at the end of the year during the holidays along with Heartstopper and Single All The Way.
Omg!! My 2nd ship after Nick and Charlie!! I love Alex and Henry so much! This movie is beyond beautiful. But, you're right. It felt rushed in some parts.. as the one who read the book already... I felt that they cut so many scenes... that I think if it's not deleted it will be an iconic one.
Thanks for reacting to Red, White & Royal Blue... Travis! Yes.. they're adorable..
(P.S. by the way... you missed the after credit scene here. If you want to watch it again.. please stay until after the credit😁)
Love your reaction to this fun and heartwarming film. We should all be able to love who we love and live our lives without judgment.
This movie!! I was NOT ready. E-MO-SHUNS!!!
It is impossible to imagine other characters forAlex an Henry than this two guys, the chemistry is perfect and they transmit love, fear, romanticism, lots of feelings just seeing them...
Great reaction! And the idea of a 'Royal Family' may seem weird but it's tradition. And I like that. There will always be Royals around. Anyways... great reaction.
I love a happy ending.. they don't happen nearly enough. This was so fun and charming... loved it! I agree, it was too short!
I dont know how many times i rewatched this but here im again..i love this movie, is such a comfort movie and i just love you react to it 😩😩🥰🤩
My first time seeing you reactions. WELL DONE 🎉
What a awesome movie! Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Great reaction! Loved the movie. I just wish they had made this a limited series so more of the book could have been put on screen.
Oh I love this movie so much.
I’m not sure, but I think this is one of my favourite reactions to this film so far… um.. not that I’ve been watching them ALL, you understand…. Ahem 😅.
Glad you enjoyed it!
New sub here! I see you are from Detroit. Kalamazoo here. I LOVE this movie. I hadnt read the book before the movie so I had no idea what to expect. Now I had Santal 33 cologne, wax melts, diffuser oil, "History huh?" tshirts, sweatshirts, and the collector's edition of the novel comes tomorrow. Great video!
no ones mentioned this yet but i love that the person who has an issue with their relationship, the british grand dad is played by known queer actor stephan fry who totally normally be on board for all of this. i think they were going for irony and i love it. edit also bc i dont have netflix ive been binging the hell outta people reactions of this
They do not identify as straight they infact identify as anything at all.. it’s their choice to keep their private live and their sexual identities a secret. They probably have their own reasons. Tht I think is wht Alex is talking abt in his speech..
YOU NEED TO READ THE BOOK… it’s a totally different thing for the movie they’re both brilliant on their own but u should definitely should read it… I agree with you they should hv done a series. And there seem to be a shout out for a 2nd movie so… who knows… let’s hope for the best…
love your reaction.. I felt how honest you felt abt the movie and it was so refreshing to see…
I'm halfway through the book now.. I'm soo hooked
Really enjoyed your reaction.....I have watched many on this film, Yours is really good, good work buddy! btw, I DID subscribe and LIKE
Thanks ;)
These 2 😍😍😍 🔥 🔥🔥🔥
The original cut of the movie was 3 hours, and there is clamoring for Amazon to release the uncut version. There's also talk of a possible sequel - Casey McQuiston did write a bonus chapter in the hardback version featuring Henry's POV over the next 6 years or so. Plus she is now talking about writing a sequel novel. So, I'm sure we haven't seen the last of Alex and Henry yet! I read the book and yes, this is an "adaptation" which omits/combines characters and subplots. But overall, it stays very true to the soul of the original novel. And I love it, too!
I'm retired from the motion picture post-production industry and with the introduction of non-linear editing and shooting with digital cameras the first cut of a lot of movies include almost everything, with the knowledge that a lot of what was shot will not make the final cut. The 3 hour cut will be of the raw footage. All of the steps involved in "finishing" the movie starts only after the picture is locked, so to bring the 3 hour cut up to release standards would be very expensive. Would I like to see it? Sure. Do I expect to see it? No.
@@andremaloney4128 Maybe you can explain what exactly is "an assembly" of a film, which is what the director of the movie Matthew Lopez says was 2 hours 45 minutes? He said it was shot and strung together. What I don't understand is what is not considered acceptable with an "assembly" that directors don't want it to see the light of day.
@@kekwayblaze3176 Sure thing, just note that some of the details in what follows may have changed with the advent of all digital film making. You've probably seen out-takes that include the slate (clapper) at the beginning of the shot and that also includes the director calling out "cut" at the end. If the director likes the shot, they will also say "print it" or "print that one". When that happens the camera operator will make a note in the film log (traditionally by circling the take number). The next day, usually at lunch, the director, producers and department heads will watch the circled takes (called dailies or rushes) to make sure there are no technical issues. once the dailies are approved, they go to editorial and, once enough footage of a scene has been approved the editing can begin.
So the assembly is just the raw footage strung together so that all the dialog is put together in script order. You might consider this a "technical" edit as opposed to a "creative" edit. Once the creative editing starts, the film will go through several edits in order to get to the release version. During the creative editing of say Alex's speech, they may use sentences from several takes in the final edit, where they would have just used one take for the assembly.
Hope that helps.
@@andremaloney4128 Thank you! That really explains it to someone who is not involved in the movie business. Now I understand what the director of the film, Matthew Lopez was talking about when he said there was 2 hour 45 min assembly of the film.

I loved your reaction so much!! 😍 If you can, pls read the book to understand much more of their story! ❤️🤍💙 Tyler and Nick chemistry is beyond words! 🔥 This movie means so much for me and as bi myself im so grateful that we have more and more representation on movies and tv shows!! 🏳️🌈💖💜💙 Romcoms are back!! And i love it even more when includes queer characters !🥰🏳️🌈
I love this movie and I loved your reaction especially after the emails got leaked.
Apparently the Victoria and Albert Museum has no security cameras or an alarm system.
As someone who read the book before this was even announced i loved the movie for what it was. Are there things they changed that i wish they hadn’t? Of course, but when i heard prime was doing it i had very little faith. It was a lot better than I expected. If you haven't read the book. You should.
Oh Gott ich kann den ganzen Film schon auswendig😊
Aber es wird immer noch nicht langweilig ❤❤❤❤
Ich bin so süchtig 😮
I love this movie and I definitely recommend the book. It has even more to it!
Having read the book, I totally agree on the tv series idea
Travis, Read the book and you'll get your fix for more stuff that was left out of the movie! Worth the read!
que linda reacción! si leen el libro van a amar mas a alex, querer proteger a henry y llorar con los mails hermosos que se envian ❤
Ok so it's a cheesy romance like the Hallmark channel ones, but about 2 guys.
😂 OMG the convo with his mom was hilarious!
And so wholesome! What a great mother!
Why do you think Henry said sweetheart when they first did the photo shoot? Just to throw Alex off?
British humour, sarcasm hiding the truth. Remember Henry fell in love with Alex at first sight, years before. To have been brought together like this, to having to feign friendship when Henry desperately wants more, while still being "enemies" is a hard call. In the words of Galitzine's song Comfort - "you push, and I pull back."
I demand a sequel ❤️
While we are all enjoying this movie, and perhaps the book as well,❤🧡💛💚💙💜, please remember that men loving other men will result in them being labeled deviant or worse. Also in some countries it will result in imprisonment or execution. Stephen Fry, bless him, has been active fighting this discrimination.
Love your reaction
Una reacción muy bonita! 😊🎉
BTW, I loved your reactions
Rewatched this tonight can't get enough of it adore the romance between Alex and Henry the two leads have amazing chemistry now I am reading the book By, Casey McQuiston.
FINE, imma watch it for a third time haha
😂
I love your reaction!! ❤The movie is awesome, the actors, everything. I hope you can react to Heartstopper S1 and S2
Love this movie 😂 I watched it so many times. Btw I love Zahra lol
Travis, I've never heard you laugh like you did @20:45
🤣🤣🤣
I love this movie ❤
Right? It would be perfect if this made into drama series than movie it was missing details :[
i like your REACTION 🤣
I loved your red hair. You look great with any color though.
You know what’s crazy…. I don’t even dye it ! It just looks different with lighting / time of year !!! 😂
Thanks
Wow thank you ! ❤️
Dresden 😎 😅😅😂😂
You're absolutely right about things being left out. As sweet and lovely as the movie is, it's still a bare-bones outline of the book, which I've read at least 7 times and HIGHLY recommend. It does everything the movie does, just 10× better 🥰🏳️🌈💕
Apparently they filmed so much that could've been a 3 hour movie, including that deleted Cornetto scene. I would watch the whole thing and love to see how much of the movie they were able to include. The book is one of my comfort media and I miss June and Amy as characters
A miniseries would've been ideal, but I am glad they gave the Prince Henry fact sheet scene to Amy so she could have more screen time 💖
Agreed, the book is epic, but not everyone reads these days. The movie is the gateway drug. I read the book second, (having not heard of it before on this side of ‘ the pond’, and was blown away by the sumptuous details of the emails. It’s been a two pronged attack on my senses. Love.😅
Btw I loved hearing an American saying “shagging” - so British! 😂
Sorry had to stop straight away due to your logo's
covering the screen , bye.☹️
Dresden 😅😅😂😂
Supposedly Amazon limited this to just two hours. Doubt making this a series was probably out of the question.
As a Bi woman I live for this movie...plus everyone is hot...Taylor, Nick, Sarah Shahi (my perm celebrity crush)...
