thank u for posting about ari and dante. that book was really special for me as a young person too. i haven't thought about it in a while, but it was one of the few books i read over and over again at that time. i think i was calmed by how tenderly it treated that shame and anger, which i knew i had inside me. especially the shame. but what a meaningful experience to have had with a book... so thank u for reminding me <3 i guess i will be buying a movie ticket.

💗💗💗

of course love! you are like the EXACT person I was making those posts for 💕 I hope you have such a wonderful time revisiting it and that it once again gives you calm and tenderness 🫰🏻

#as stated previously I think it misses some of that internal dynamic of shame and anger you are speaking about which is a bummer BUT having #read it I think gives you the right context to make it work beyond just another gay coming of age movie and like it IS very sweet regardless #everyone in it clearly wanted it to be something lovely #answered #anon #about to post some quotes from alberto right now actually about the making of it that made me cry
