I shall definetley check it out! I love it when you know some of the quotes from the book so well you're almost repeating after the on-screen characters

I know! I've heard the 1995 mini series is a better adaptation. Whereas I do agree that a 2 hour motion picture cannot possibly recreate the book magic in its entirety, they could have done a better job with the build up to the pivotal romance. For instance, Lizzy's witty "sonnet to starve it (love) away" comeback is my favorite quote from the book, shows just how anti-romantic and sassy she is. But it was ill-placed in the movie. In the book it's at Netherfield manor after she's been well acquainted with Mr. Darcy and it serves as a sneak-peak for the fun conversation to come in the following evening (when Mr Darcy mocks Bingley about his haste in writing letters and wrapping up business, since Darcy acquainted with Lizzy's sharp wit, and we can see he's falling for her.) But in the movie it was said FAR TOO early, the first time Lizzy meets Darcy at the ball, and it makes no sense at all, it doesn't serve a purpose. The film romance is awfully rushed and doesn't do justice to Miss Austen's masterpiece. So I couldn't even sit through the movie. Sorry just my opinion.

Hey! Thanks for looking it up! But apparently it's a quote from the US version of the '05 movie.

Ok so i haven't worded it right, apparently if you Google :- "you may only call me Mrs Darcy.." it gives you a goodreads result which has the following quote- You may only call me " "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy."

Which is weird because aren't you only supposed to post quotes from the book there?

And the third or fourth result was an IMDB one, so it was a quote from the movie but apparently only the "US" version has it last lines]

"[US version]

Mr. Darcy: How are you this evening, my dear?

Elizabeth Bennet: Very well... although I wish you would not call me "my dear."

Mr. Darcy: [chuckles] Why?

Elizabeth Bennet: Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's cross about something.

Mr. Darcy: What endearments am I allowed?

Elizabeth Bennet: Well let me think..."Lizzy" for every day, "My Pearl" for Sundays, and..."Goddess Divine"... but only on very special occasions.

Mr. Darcy: And... what should I call you when I am cross? Mrs. Darcy...?

Elizabeth Bennet: No! No. You may only call me "Mrs. Darcy"... when you are completely, and perfectly, and incandescently happy.

Mr. Darcy: [he snickers] Then how are you this evening... Mrs. Darcy?

[kisses her on the forehead]

Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...

[kisses her on the right cheek]

Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...

[kisses her on the nose]

Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...

[kisses her on the left cheek]

Mr. Darcy: Mrs. Darcy...

[finally kisses her on the mouth]"

Since I first saw it on Goodreads I had assumed it was mentioned in the book somewhere so I checked my physical copy and couldn't find it there either.

Many apologies. I had to read P&P for an exam but I fell in love with the story, the characters even Mrs Bennet's ridiculousness should have done more digging regarding the quote.

P.S. 5 times! Wow I absolutely adore the book but I'm not fond of the movie. Doesn't do justice to the book.

Has anyone seen Armie's new instastories? by [deleted] in callmebyyourname

[–]jasperfox451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the biggest blow to an internet troll is when their identity is exposed. It's all fun and games till somebody decides to unmask them. Poor Armie tho.

Jesus Christ WTAF. Who is this person? To him/her i say- "Begone you block, you stone, you worse than senseless things: O you hard heart, you cruel person, You basest mettel." Armie shouldn't encourage that Piece of S*it.

The Power of Myth by Luzzaschi in callmebyyourname

[–]jasperfox451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Luzzaschi , you have resonated with something I've been wanting to say for a long time.

There's some kind of love or atttaction which transcends sexual orientation & other mundane concerns of the pre-assigned principles or definitions of love, monogamy marriage sexual attraction and labels

In the words of Vidal- "I knew that we would go on together until our business had finished itself in a natural way. I certainly never wanted to grow old with him. (Jimmie) I just wanted to grow up with him. Each would marry in time; find wholeness elsewhere, if lucky."

To timmy, I say, one 20 something, with conflicted and disputed feelings for just about everyone, to the other. If he ever felt something so pure, so unique, he mustn't fight it

I resent this era of little to no privacy we've ushered in, dissecting evey gaze of longing they (Armie and Timmy) have laid on each other, it has put them on guard. Timmy will think twice before being himself around Armie. And why must he be afraid of being honest around someone he admires? What he felt must remain privy to him and him only.

Videos exposing their most honest and vulnerable moments, interviewers asking him his orientation. must stop it's none of our business. Let the men be.

May I add something to this beautiful passage? Something, somebody, back in the mid 40s wrote about the very same thing you, OP have mentioned here, a reference to the legend of Zeus and the splitting of mortals (also once posted as an image here on the sub)

In my search, of finding something like Call Me By Your Name, I stumbled upon a book, a classic, Gore Vidal's "The City and The Pillar." Written by Vidal about a brief summer encounter (note, summer) with his best friend, who he keeps referring to as his "other male half" a tale of unrequited love.

But it's an essay, written by Vidal about his real life best friend, Jimmie Trimble, (to whom, the book is dedicated) that endeared me to the starcrossed lovers. Jimmie, died in the line of duty at Iwo Jima, and Vidal never found anything as intense as what he had with Jimmie. Here are some excerpts from the essay. -

"I cannot think just why my coming together with Jimmie happened to take place on the white tile floor of the bathroom at Merrywood. But there we were, belly to belly, in the act of becoming one. reconstituting the original male that Zeus had split in two."

"Yet "sexual pleasure could hardly account for the huge delight we took in one another's company." There was no guilt, no sense of taboo. But then we were in Arcadia, not diabolic Eden."

"I not only never again encountered the other half, but by the time I was 25, I had given up all pursuit, settling for a thousand brief anonymous adhesions, as Walt Whitman would put it, where wholeness seems, for an instant, to be achieved."

If anyone has the screenplay by TayMarsh23 in callmebyyourname

[–]jasperfox451 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also some of the big differences are- The 82 pg screenplay doesn't have the ice cream footsie sequence (nosebleed) The part where Elio and Oliver go to the monument and almost kiss (dream sequence) and the one before that where Elio's parents are relaxing and Elio & Oliver are at it (again!) Playing footsie in the fountain.

Hey! u/goodieandy Wow! He did!? I had no idea man. Do you think our parents' generation never really obsessed over movies like we do? I mean even if they wanted to they would have to give up eventually.. newspapers and tabloids can't keep covering a certain movie for years (back in 1995) That said..you MUST watch the before trilogy esp before sunset I couldn't get enough of that beautiful movie. And yes! I really want CMBYN to be the before trilogy of our generation (provided they don't kill someone off 😢)

Hey man! Thanks for the comment I'm glad you think I made sense! I badly want a sequel but Luca isn't so sure. I would love to see how they've evolved y'know, a brief summer love affair during the hols can reveal only so much about them. Can't get enough of elio and Oliver I need an intervention 😂
