故事是說上世紀八十年代的意大利,帶著夏日懶洋洋的氣氛,似很平常很淡然,但突然一來的漣漪,則引起一連串的激蕩,那就是青少年的愛情。
如果這愛情是同性之間的呢?很突兀嗎?不可以嗎?
故事兩主角也有迷失、也有否定的時候,但他們最終都坦承對對方的感覺。
可惜結局是不完美的,一方不隱瞞家人自己對同性的感覺,但另一方因受壓力而要選擇與異性結婚,可悲嗎?
幾十年後,到當今社會,其實許多故事也可能跟這電影的劇情一樣,也是可悲的。看後,那種微妙的激動,久久還在心中。
We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to make yourself feel nothing so as not to feel anything – what a waste!Mr. Perlman
Have I spoken out of turn? Then I’ll say one more thing. It’ll clear the air. I may have come close, but I never had what you two have. Something always held me back or stood in the way. How you live your life is your business, just remember, our hearts and our bodies are given to us only once. And before you know it, your heart is worn out, and, as for your body, there comes a point when no one looks at it, much less wants to come near it. Right now, there’s sorrow, pain. Don’t kill it and with it the joy you’ve felt.Mr. Perlman
From the way your dad spoke to me, he made me feel like a part of the family, almost like a son-in-law. You’re so lucky! My father would have carted me off to a correctional facility.Oliver
Oliver. I remember everything.Oliver
Oh no, no, no. He was more than intelligent. What you two had, had everything and nothing to do with intelligence. He was good. You were both lucky to have found each other, because you too are good.Mr. Perlman
Call me by your name and I’ll call you by mine.Oliver
Please don’t avoid me. It kills me. I can’t stand thinking you hate me. Your silence is killing me. I’d sooner die than know you hate me. I am such a pussy.Elio
