A Whole New Level

Rating: 9/10 (3 March 2019)

"Call Me By Your Name" came out in 2017, as one the latest gay movie, and I would say it is the most non-gay movie that I have ever seen in this category. This summer romance between teenager Elio and grown up Oliver happens so smooth, beautiful, and relax. When thousands of movies is about straight teenagers' adolescence experience, "Call Me By Your Name" portrays the perfect childhood of Elio. Comparing to Brokeback Mountain, this movie focus more on the happiness to the struggle. In fact, the sweetness and romance of this movie redefine the concept of gay movie, since gay movie always focus on the pressure of the outside world and love between the two. The fact that Elio lives in open minded family that supports his feelings is surprisingly different from other gay movies. The presence of "Call Me By Your Name" also proves that people nowadays have a new level of understanding or homosexual relationship, and proves that it be just relax and sweet as any other relationship. Oliver and Elio is beyond sexulity, age, and experience, and significantly indicates that love is above everything. Even though Oliver eventually leaves Elio and gets married, this experience is still lasting forever,
