"If you're an immigrate with a Z in your last name, there's not a lot of people in positions of power that look like you or sound like you. I've been given the chance to be someone in the world that my father didn't see when he was growing up."

A movie directed from a López, interpreted by a Perez who played the character of a Diaz. ❤🤍💙
History huh? Bet we could make some.
The fact that Matthew directed a queer movie with a Mexican descendent protagonist is exactly the type of movie he didn't have growing up. I'm so happy he made it himself and gave us something that even ten years ago was unimaginable to see on the screen. I'm very proud of those Zs who change the world everyday.
"Hey," Alex says. Henry turns back to him, his eyes silver in the wash of the streetlight. "We won.”
Henry takes his hand, one corner of his mouth tugging gently upward. "Yeah. We won."
"I’ll break the sound barrier for you"
"History, huh? Bet we could make some"
"I fell in love with a person, who happens to be a man and that man happens to be a prince. He has captured my heart and made my life immeasurably better"

Listen, is it a perfect adaptation of the book… absolutely not… NO… is it ever a perfect adaptation of a book… not every movie can be lord of the rings. Did I enjoy every second of it.. OH GOD YES.. did I miss lines that are to me iconic in the book that we’re not in the movie… also YES… but I can still love every second of this movie and watch it over and over and over again…
I actually kind of love that they don’t kiss here. As much as I love the kisses, there’s something so sweet and meaningful about continuing to engage in physical touch that isn’t romantically coded. Hugs are for all types of relationships, and I like that they didn’t just stop doing that once they became a couple. Henry and Alex are still each others’ best friend, and sometimes you need a hug way more than you need a kiss.
Henry says "I'm learning" as in "I'm willing to understand your point of view and try my best to understand what it means to be you."
Alex says the same thing, but without words.
His dancing with Henry is his "as I'm learning to love you, I'm ready to face all the pain and fatigue that hides inside you... That's the choice. I love you, with all that, because of all that. On purpose. I love you on purpose."

Fear lodged itself inside Alex’s throat when he finally found Henry. They’d separated them, after the emails had leaked they’d been forced apart and Alex hadn’t been allowed to see Henry. He hadn’t heard from him in weeks either and now … well, now here he was, locked in a gilded cage, as it were. The irony of it, because the bars were quite gold and the room was an unfamiliar one to Alex. He’d only managed to get here because of Shaan, who had been doing everything he could himself to get Henry out, to no avail.
“My mom has people coming,” Alex said, fingers curled around the bars. Let Henry’s people try to stop his mother, Alex thought. If they didn’t want an international scandal on their hands, they would let Ellen and Alex take Henry away to safety. “We’re going to get you out of there. I promise.”
