Utku Kafalıer
When one finishes watching Call Me by Your Name (Guadagnino, 2017), the image that is stuck with them is the main character Elio, crying in front of a fireplace as the credits roll and Sufjan
Steven's song plays out. This is not surprising since it is the last image of the show and it is stuck there for a elongated time. Naturally we are likely to remember it the most. What is interesting is why this is chosen as the image that the show wanted to leave us with in this particular way. There may be several implications for this choice and in this essay I will proceed through it from the realist movie perspective by dissecting the nature of the long take and its placement within the movie. After that, I will talk about the scene with its archetypal implications with mythic theories and will try to understand why the feature specifically wanted this image to be representative of the film.
Call Me by Your Name is a movie about 17 years old Elio spending his summer in their family home somewhere on coastal Italy. When Oliver, a research assistant for his father’s academic work, arrives, Elio begins to detect his sexuality as his desires start t
'Call Me By Your Name's Strongest Scene Is About Fatherly Acceptance
Call Me By Your Nameis one of the more memorable coming-of-age LGBT films of recent years and a definite must-see. For the clip, Michael Stuhlbargputs on a stunning performance as the protagonist's father, Mr. Perlman. Mr. Perlman provides a positive example of acceptance in fatherhood, especially pronounced against the backdrop of 1980s rural Italy.
The production follows Timothée Chalamet as Elio Perlman, a Jewish boy summering with his family in a northern Italian village. Mr. Perlman is there to further his archeological studies. He has invited Oliver, a graduate student portrayed by Armie Hammer, to reside with the family in their summer home and assist with his labor. As a result, Elio and Oliver embark on a romantic summer of adventure and self-discovery.
The Adventure of Self-Discovery
Throughout the first perform, Elio and Oliver are standoffish. Their bickering and intense stare downs belie the two's interest in one another. What could appear to be masculine competitiveness over the women in the story is, in fact, jealousy for one another'
Elio Perlman
Elio is the narrator and main character of Call Me by Your Name , a 2007 YA dramatic novel by André Aciman. The manual was later adapted into the 2017 film by the same name . Elio is played in the film by Timothée Chalamet.
Elio is an American teenager with a talent for piano and musical transcription living on the Italian coast in the summer of 1983 when his father, an academic, has an American grad student named Oliver stay with the family for the summer while he studies. While Elio turns himself inside out with his newfound gay attraction to Oliver which eventually ends up with the two of them having a torrid affair, Elio also dates and has sex with local girl, Marzia.
He expresses enjoyment in both his attraction and sexual encounters with both characters. While both the novel and motion picture are hailed as new “gay” classics, it’s essential to note that Elio is a queer man; while the focus of the story is on his queer sexual awakening, he is still attracted to women throughout the rest of his being.

Call Me By Your Label author finally makes Elio’s dad’s sexuality clear
In a recent interview with GQ, Aciman explained that while the actor Michael Stuhlbarg’s perception of the monologue benign of implies that Samuel is coming out to Elio, this was not what he had in mind when he wrote it.
“This was not at all my intention when I wrote the book,” Aciman told GQ. “The feature has basically validated that particular approach. And I have to say that I can see that this is equally a valid approach to the father’s speech. The father may have been attracted to men or not, we don’t know from the book. From the movie, you have every right to infer that. But not in the book.”
In Find Me, a sequel to Call Me By Your Name that revisits the characters years later, Samuel splits up with his wife. “He’s not splitting because he has homosexual tendencies, but simply because something must have gone incorrect in their marriage,” said Aciman.
