This movie has ruined me in the best way possible.

I love how it's just one shot

"don't go anywhere, stay right here" "you know i'm not going anywhere" *walks 20 steps*

Elio flirting is somehow so cute. The way he says "you know what things" and his whole body language is just a special thing.

The setting. The lighting. The clothing. The music. The old objects and vehicles. The cinematography. Everything screams the feeling of old memories from a good summer.

I’ve just seen the film 16 times in 7 weeks - and I can’t come over it. This is actually my life with my friend Hans (we spent 30 years together) concentrated into 6 weeks in Italy. Met him 1984, he looked like Oliver with his hairy chest, and I was Elio, but just 2 years younger, exactly, we were both born the 21st of July. Had a wonderful life together until Hans passed away the other year - and left me alone in chaos - as Oliver did to young Elio. This is the most perfect film I ever seen, the love between them is amazing - like the 30 years we got - but just a couple of weeks for them… Jan Hermansson, Sweden

"Is it better to speak or to die"

"If you knew how little i know about the things that matter..."

"Because I wanted you to know"

He was robbed of an Oscar.

Love this scene however I can’t help but laugh when I think of how my dumbass would NOT be able to hear from the distance they were talking I would of been like “WHa- hUh?!?”....”WHaT THingS??!!”

At first I didn't understand this scene, I didn't pay close attention to it, now that I'm re-watching I come to the realisation that this scene is a masterpiece (like the movie itself) Elio declaring his love to Oliver without even saying really saying it. This scene is so simple yet so complicated and I think that's what I like about it. God, this movie is amazing.

I thought this was one of the most powerful and symbolic scenes of the movies. Notice the techniques Guadagnino uses as Elio and Oliver navigate this conversation. When they first start talking about smoking, multiple cars and mopeds drive by, creating a loud buzz and noise over the scene. This matches the meaninglessness of their conversation about smoking. It is a conversation that ultimately means nothing. It is empty, it holds zero significance. It is simply noise. There are no more vehicles or noise like this until the very end of the scene. For the rest of the scene Elio and Oliver rotate around the statue. They begin far apart as Elio brings up how little he knows. Here, they are distant from one another both physically and in the way they speak. "Because I wanted you to know" Elio half speaks to himself. As they continue to move around the statue, this directly represents the way they move and dance around the point of their conversation. Neither of them actually says what they're feeling or what they are talking about. Deep down they both know, but instead they dance around the point for the whole conversation, just like they dance around the statue. Until finally they meet, "these are things we cant speak about" and the door (of the car) is quite literally shut on the conversation. All of this being done under the watch of the church. They can't fully express themselves due to the ever present judgement and stifling expectations of society. This scene screams volumes. So so incredible and I think it's a perfect example of one of the key themes of the movie: that love should be expressed. It felt like for most of the movie, Elio and Oliver dance around their feelings like they do in this scene. And in this scene it is quite frustrating to watch. I think many viewers watching the screen want to tell the characters to "just say how you actually feel!!" And through that discomfort and frustration, Luca is returning that exact same sentiment back onto you. Share the love you feel you in your life because it's frustrating and confusing when you don't. Don't hold back and never be afraid to be open and honest with those you love.

I love how subtly crafted and sophisticated this film is. No flashy special effects, no over the top villain (rather the antagonist in this story is time), and the romance is not shoved in your face.

You know I'm not going anywhere.

I really didn't notice it was one shot until they got back on the bikes, it felt so natural.

This film is a spell, it pulls you in, further and further deep

Yup. It’s decided. I’m rewatching this tonight.

nothing: absolutely nothing: my head: ʸᵒᵘ ᵏⁿᵒʷ ʷʰᵃᵗ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵍˢ

Ellio's language skills, personality and intelligence are so alluring...It's no surprise that Oliver was drawn to him..... That's what made the film so good to me. I felt the emotions in the scene...like this one.

Elio's being reminded/ warned by two things in this scene to not fall for Oliver: - the bus is reminding him of that Oliver has to leave soon and that he shouldn't fall in love with him - the church is telling him that homosexuality is not accepted by society nor by the catholic religion yet he still went for it... but it was worth it :) his heart broke when Oliver left but thanks to him he experienced the best love that he could ever find

This scene is incredible. They declared their love without saying "I love you"

"You know I'm not goin' anywhere." This is my favorite part

The way he said: you know what things... omgg

The way he sways while nodding yes😊

The piano in the background just adds that extra emotion I love it

i wanted his backpack SO BAD & when i finally found it, it was $8,000. rip me

There's a part in the book just a few days after this confession and their first kiss when Elio kept trying to break the silence between them, Oliver asked Elio: "Do you really like me that much, Elio?" to which the champion of love, Elio replied: "Do I like you? Oliver, I worship you." mic drop

This is one of the greatest scenes of one of the most memorable films in comtemporary cinema. Subtle and smart. So refreshing from all the blockbuster noise... Pure gold!

I'm watching this again for like the 100th time, and only now noticing the beautiful irony of when Oliver says "stay right here" and elio replies rather sadly "you know I'm not going anywhere " and the camera pans so that we see a bus in the background - it's a subtle reminder of how little time they have left together; elio isnt going anywhere, but oliver will; Oliver will move on, but this will never leave Elio. It's what makes this scene so strangely emotional.

How hard to express ones love without using the three magical word.

I am 67 and this movie haunts me. The scene at the train station where Elio and Oliver part had my mind rushing back to 1979 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, when I was in the U.S. Navy. I was 23 and Javier was 18. It was our destiny that we met the innocent way we did. We spent three glorious days together, walking, talking, joking, laughing, eating... I promised to find him the next time my ship was in port. Our last day slowly wound its way through the morning, the afternoon, but finally evening arrived. We made the day last until around midnight when our meandering brought us to the landing at the bay where my ships' liberty boat would take me away from Javier. I wanted to cry so badly but didn't want to draw the attention of my drunken shipmates also waiting for the boat. Then it started to rain lightly, and I realized the gods were crying for us. We finally had to be apart... The next year when my ship went back to the Mediterranean and arrived at Palma, I rushed to the sailor bar where I knew two of Javier's lesbian friends worked. They told me Javier had been drafted into the Spanish navy for his two years mandatory service. I never saw my sweet, sweet Javier again. Javier has been in my mind and heart for 44 years now. I think about him and I have a little cry occasionally. Elio, I understand...

Timmy's italian was flawless when he said "andiamo l'americano!"

Excellent! Timothy Chalamet is so perfect in his acting like an awkward teen. Breathtaking face and body language. Just like the old stars like Greta Garbo in silent movies that acted with their eyes and faces. This kid is amazing. I saw him in the lobby of the hotel I work for before he was nominated, before he became really known. He's very playful and real.

Has anybody noticed Oliver's happy little smile just before he sets off on his bike at the end?

O: Why are you telling me this? ... E: Cause I thought you should know. O: Because you thought I should know? E: Because I wanted you to know. ... E: Because there's no one else I can say this to but you. O: Are you saying what I think you're saying?

The only film I have ever watched where I long for more and more. It simply won’t let you go, and I am happy about that. It is beautiful in every way possible.

LOVE this scene!!! The music gives it a very dream-like quality!!!!

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Elio swaying nervously and nodding his head shyly has left me all soft and mushy inside 😔 He's so precious 💕

The genius of James Ivory's script is that it doesn't sound written. It just sounds like two guys talking. Brilliant.

This is what summer was like before cell phones, 500 channels, social media, and other timesucks of today. I miss those great summers where everybody was friends with everybody and parties where everyone was invited.

The use of Ravel's "Une Barque sur l'Océan" makes this scene so dreamy and languid. While I love the entire film, this has to be my favorite part. Sheer brilliance!

Such a very powerful segment that melts my heart anew with each viewing. Elio's coquettish wiggle after "..are you saying what I think you're saying?" is so redolent of teenage behaviour too! Perfection! Such a transformative experience watching this work played out with such enormous delicacy and love of their characters!

Elio have to tell him somehow ... back in the early 80's, well, it wasn't that easy to admit the attraction to someone who you might see as an ordinary friend! Oliver also is in denial of what he feels at that moment!

His sentence "because I wanted you to know" comes back into my head again and again during my days.

Oh my god....this is so beautiful. This might be one of my favorites scenes of any movie, ever.

How he repeats "I wanted you to know" So romantic and tender and raw. Arrrgh this movie is so good ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I think one of my favorite things about this movie is that we never hear them say “I love you”. We see it shown so clearly without words.

The best and smartest confession ever. How magical it is. Now, this movie is a spell

"Because there's no one else I can say this to but you." This makes so much sense after reading the book. I remember just trying to understand everything Elio thought when there was silence in the movie, but now that I've read the book, every little silence in the movie makes sense. It's full of thoughts, of repressed emotions. It has a flavor of its own.

I could watch this movie everyday and I won't even complain

This literally my favourite scene. I still can’t get over this movie 😞

You don't understand why- but at the moment you see Elio watching the top of the temple, *you just know* it's him imploring to whatever god there is for a chance with Oliver. This damn film just sneaks inbetween you, like flu.

This movie made me so completely empty inside at the end and sad at some point that i don't want to watch it again because i don't want to feel that way. In the past i had similar situation but i am straight so i just don't want to go back to it....the sadness and emptiness is killing me after watching this movie

I love that everytime i randomly feel the need to search up this movie again i find new people love it as well. Once you enter the CMBYN portal there’s no getting out ever

I love how ethereal the music is in this scene

I will never get tired of this movie watched it a lot of times already

One of the best 3 minutes on a cinema screen ever subtle but says everything you need to know

A moment of character development on Armie's part right at the conclusion of the scene 04:15 to the end. Right after telling Elio "we can't talk about those things" when Elio hops on his bike and begins to ride away, Oliver hesitates for a moment, just staring at nothing, trying to process what just happened and what it means. You can imagine him thinking to himself, "Now what do I do?" He is probably wondering whether he handled Elio's confession well or poorly. Then he snaps out of it when Elio calls, "Hey! Andiamo Americano!" It's a subtle moment, but shows us where Oliver's heart is now. And kudos to Armie for playing it so quietly and subtly.

The best piece of Armie's work. I could not like him more in any other movie. This was his master piece.

@Esse who down below says he still doesn't understand this scene. Elio is telling Oliver in a roundabout way that he likes him... saying it without really saying it. This is what their relationship has been like until this point: both of them interested in each other but neither of them openly saying so. Oliver has shown many clues that he likes Elio but Elio's response has been unclear and confusing, even rude sometimes. It finally gets to a point where Oliver is annoyed with Elio: "Just don't play at being the good host." Elio isn't mature enough to realize that his responses have been sending mixed signals to Oliver, but he is learning. Later that same day, he offers, "Truce?" and the two of them shake hands and get back on track. So now when Elio openly says he doesn't know about the things that matter, he is admitting to Oliver that he doesn't know what he is doing or how to show what he really feels. Oliver has been confused about Elio to this point, and asks "Why are you telling me this?" Elio's first response is almost but not quite the truth: "Because I thought you should know." Oliver repeats it back as a question, as if to ask Elio to be clearer about what he means, and at first Elio answers with another question: "Because I wanted you to know?" ("Is this the right answer?") Oliver still doesn't respond, and so Elio says it again but as an affirmative statement: "Because I wanted you to know." And repeats it again, more confidently: "Because I wanted you to know." It took him a few tries but he finally got it right and he is being honest and vulnerable now. In effect Elio is telling Oliver "I might be smart in a lot of other ways, but I don't know how to show you that I like you, and I need you to take the lead and show me how to do it." Oliver is still not sure, and so he asks, "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Elio answers silently with a nod of his head. He is new to adult and sexual relationships. As a guest in their summer home, this now puts Oliver in a tricky and awkward situation, and he says "We can't talk about those kinds of things, we just can't." In the next few scenes we see how Elio tries to show, even inappropriately at times, that he likes Oliver in a physical, sexual way. Oliver's response is, "You are making this very difficult for me." But Oliver understands now, so he continues to take it slowly and carefully until he finally has to tell Elio to "Grow up. Meet me at midnight." So in this scene at the monument, Oliver has come to realize Elio is naive and inexperienced, and he has to take things carefully and patiently at Elio's pace. This is a turning point in how they will relate to each other through the remainder of their time together. What Elio is not prepared for, and what Oliver cannot teach him, is the pain that awaits at their inevitable separation. Oliver can't help him with that, nor can he prevent it from happening. Elio will have to experience that for himself, and on his own. Fortunately he has understanding parents who will be there for him. As Oliver tells him later on the phone, "You are so lucky..." The beauty of this movie is that the script does not spell this all out in words. It shows us what is happening between these two without saying it out loud, in the same way Oliver and Elio relate to each other. It is up to us, the audience, to figure it out on our own, the same way Oliver and Elio have to figure out their relationship. The movie is not going to explain it for us; it is enough to show us the important moments and it trusts us to put the in-between pieces together.

This movie makes me feel so young, full of hope, and filled with the promise of what young love, ANY love, brings. Just so pure before it EVER got complicated! What a wonderful time!

This scene, is just so….ridiculously effortlessly perfect

I know these feelings. The attraction. The small touches. The little sexual jokes. But can't go further because of fear. Fear of society. Fear of family and the fear of rejection

"You know I'm not going anywhere ..." oh god ♥️

I love everything about this scene. Under the seemingly casual calm conversation, emotions run like waves of the ocean.

I love how the music just floats in and out of this scene. One of my favourites in this movie. Elio is such a sweet boy. He reminds me alot of myself when I was that age. If I was Oliver, I would take him in my arms and hug him forever.

The moment you remind yourself whenever a character says 'I know nothing' that a love scene is coming

I think I get obsessed with this movie, I watched for the first time in 2018 and still i can't get it out of my mind. I love everything in this film, music, photography, and the chemistry between Armie and Timothee is amazing.

The whole atmosphere of this scene is just mesmerizing! While Elio leaves you can see Olivers internal struggle just before he jumps on his bike. And the beautiful music every time they are apart, so beautifully done! Can’t get enough of this movie, dammit.......

The most elaborate and subtle way to say I love you, I want you, please be mine...

Just watched this movie today for the first time ever and I feel like watching it 20 trillion more times

really in love with the soundtrack of this movie. the ravel in the background just makes this even more enchanting

The Portuguese have a word that isn’t translatable in English called Saudede, it’s a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia but even those words don’t explain it. This film took me right back to my youth, it’s the most beautiful film I’ve watched in over a decade, the residual feelings from the film float around with me for days afterwards. Simply stunning. This scene is life! So intelligent and real, so beautiful and poetic, full of nuances it’s amazing and takes me back to those delicate awkward feelings of first love

I love the use of music in this scene; it is faint and doesn't overwhelm the conversation. Too many movies use music as a crutch, or to generate emotion, but CMBYN understands that it is the characters and the dialogue that grabs us.

words can’t describe how much i love this movie. it’s beautiful and amazing in so many ways

Can everyone please realise that this is one single shot, no cuts, nothing. Those are about 5 minutes and that’s not at all typical for movies. Amazing acting and amazing directing! Also, I come here so often and I want to watch the movie again now but I also don’t want to cry?? Somebody help me ugh

To me, the beauty of this movie lies in the fact that I didn't understand it at all when I first watched it. I could not wrap my head around why, everyone else loved it so much. Now, being a little older and actually in love everything about this movie comes to me very clearly. Sometimes you just need to change your perspective...

I love how poetic this scene was to take place in this monument depicting a battle. Love is a battlefield. And how Elio peeked at at the church afterwards.

What a beautifully choreographed scene. I love the quiet, the slow pace, the shifts of emotion and the way the music weaves in and out. You can feel the heat inside and outside.

One thing important to notice about this scene is that they’re talking on opposite sides of this event/memorial site of an intense war. They’re on opposite sides of a war; a war of love. Wondering whether to keep fighting their urges or surrender to each other. And they keep walking and walking around this war until they finally come together.

This one of the best movies ever made. Each and every actor's performance is just out of the world. The little things between elio and Oliver. I even read the book and the movie is a perfect visualisation of Andrew Aciman's call me by my name. Whose waiting for the sequel find me? I AM ❤️

This scene is a true masterpiece...all is perfect!

There’s so many little nuances in this scene. It’s truly masterful. There’s things I didn’t notice the first time I saw it, the delivery and body language of both actors is perfection.

I remember watching this scene and wondering if all of this happened in one take, and I watched it again and found out that it was. The camera movement is so smooth and natural, I love it.

I just finished watching it and now! I AM IN TRAUMA AND CANT GET OVER HOW THIS MOVIE WOUNDED ME IN ALL POSSIBLE WAYS

"I thought you should know... " Indeed, he should have won the Oscar. He played coming of age - and coming to terms with being gay - so beautifully. What a wonderful performance.

I love how the music starts playing Everytime Oliver leaves or when they're apart in this scene

Fun fact: I didn’t know what things , I was so confused lol

No other film has affected me as much as this film did. 😢 It makes you want to be part of the world they’re living in. I love Elio’s character so much. Tbh, I would love to see a continuation of their love story. I would love to see an older and more mature Timothée play Elio again.

This master shot is one of the best scenes in the history of cinema. Each second is meticulously crafted like lace.

I’m convinced that I am not meant for love and will die alone, but this movie brings me comfort

ive always think of oliver before and during that scene that his straight.. base on acting but then knowing that he was supposedly forcing himself to be mature as the older person, i realized how good his acting is

I always try not to watch any thing related to this movie but it pulls me again and again, always leaves me crying for hours.

For all of us who’ve been terrified to say yes to love, because we were afraid.... This is the movie for you. As a reminder.

this scene was written by a genius. i mean, the way they both try to tell eachother their feeling but without saying anything 🤍

“are you saying what i think you’re saying?” and then the way elio SWAYS at that oh my gosh...the body language is immaculate

also the fact that this entire scene is ONE TAKE

Armie’s voice is out of this world beautiful

Back when smoking was considered fashionable and harmless
