The same can be said of Elio’s effect on Oliver. It shows how fundamental Oliver was to Elio in opening his heart, showing him kindness, appreciating his intelligence and voice, making him laugh and experience joy, showing him what love is capable of… it’s really really REALLY lovely and the fact the novel suggests it is only confined to that Summer doesn’t take anything away from that for me even if they love each other for a life time. It’s matter of fact and sometimes PAINFULLY so, to say “look, this was life changing but it doesn’t mean it will be forever and I’m ok with that because life is full of those experiences”. It doesn’t sugar coat stuff or make things cliche. Yeah, it’s in a different way but it’s the same idea. What I LOVE about CMBYN is that is champions that too. It doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be FOREVER. It’s also about that idea, that someone can come into your life, alter it and then leave and you cherish that forever. There are a few other stories that I love because of this and and I both share a crazy love for Once the Musical. How long it lasts isn’t a measure on how valuable or important a moment is.

Things don’t last forever and some things shouldn’t last forever but it doesn’t mean they weren’t incredibly important or special and perfect for even a brief time. Life is forever changing and there are so many layers to it. It’s part of why I LOVE the San Clemente Syndrome idea so much. It wasn’t a “love” thing but a couple of people have entered my life, bowled me over and changed how I feel or made a difference and then left. I struggle to believe in “true love” or any of that stuff but what I do believe in is people and how even if someone comes into your life for a brief time, there is a capacity for them to change you entirely or fundamentally. I have this THING for stories or art about how people can change you and how moments or experiences or that one person can alter your world view or provide you with hope or love etc It’s weirdly one of the things I love most about the book/movie. Hii!! love cmbyn and your blog haha, i'm interested to know what your thoughts are on how the movie showed that you become a better person through meeting people, which is something luca said during his acceptance speech in the gotham awards! :>įirst off, FIRST OF MANY AWARDS!!!!!!! 🎈🎈🎈🎈
