- Thanks again Jon for choosing this movie for me to watch. It was wild going into this movie not knowing a thing about what it was going to entail, as I thought I was in for a cute little gay romance movie, we it definitely had, but also this amazing story about grief, loss and appreciating yourself and the time you spend with others. It touched on so many interesting topics and it was a truly amazing and special movie.

This movie was so tragically beautiful... It's hard to describe. It's one of those movies that leaves you with a good, emotional cry.
It left me with such emotion and I know its a good movie when I was thinking about it for the next couple of days
So many people have completely different interpretations of this film. What I love about it is the emotion it evoked in me & practically everyone else who has seen it. A wonderful therapist once said to me when we were discussing dreams that when we wake up from a dream, the emotions that are evoked from the dream mean more that the actual content of the dream (he said it a lot better than I did 😊). This film reminds me so much of that... I have never seen a film that has had the whole audience crying at the end & no one being able to leave until the credits rolled & the lights came back on. The performances from the 4 characters were wonderful.. Andrew Scott & Paul Mescal were phenomenal & everything about this, from the direction, cinematography and acting was just first class! This film stayed on my mind for weeks after I first saw it at the cinema & I had to go back a second time to help me process it. I can now stream it whenever I like & it has been added to my Top 10 films of all time.
Yes all the emotions and thoughts really stay with you after the ending, the film stays with you which is amazing
This Movie 'All of us strangers' and Aronofskys 'The fountain' stole my heart. It's beautiful and timeless. I love you're reaction. Your adorable.
So glad you enjoyed :)
This is THE saddest movie I think I've ever seen, effed me up for days!!... but also in my top 3 all time favorite movies, and I'm 46.
If you noticed in the beginning, he’s typing and the only thing he has written is “exterior”, then you see a photo of the outside of the house he grew up in, then he is walking in front of it. This a set of he is writing and has a little writers block. This is a story of a man who has unresolved issues with his parents because they were taken away from him so early in life. He wanted them to know he was gay and everything else about him. The parents are younger because that is how they looked the very last time he saw them and can’t imagine seeing them any other way.
The scene of decorating the Christmas tree kills me. Harry is on his knees, being very small compared to his standing parents. Harry has this wonderful wide eyed, child like expectations of Christmas, just like he remembers and his father lets him put the angel on top. But at the same time, Mom is looking down at her little boy singing, “You were Always on my Mind” to him. (🎶tell me that your sweet love hasn’t died. 🎶give to me, give me one more chance to keep you satisfied🎶) She knows she didn’t pay enough attention to him as a child and now it’s too late… but she wishes she could have that one chance back.
Yes, Harry was alive. They were the only two that lived in the apartment complex. Harry was practically beginning Adam to give him one… just one… reason not to go un-alive himself and Harry shut him out. If you noticed, Harry was physically putting his face on the door, metaphorically saying please… help me.
When Adam goes to Harry’s apartment and sees his body, Harry is curled up in a spooning, fetal position as he died of loneliness. Then he goes into the living area and Harry is there in the clothes from that first night. Harry says, “I’m in there, aren’t I? WHY DIDN’T ANYBODY FIND ME?!” That broke my heart!!!
Then Harry says he didn’t want Adam to see him that way and Adam Says, “you’re not in there. You here, with me!” Meaning he had finally given his heart to someone and know knows what love is.
Then Adam says, “Let’s go up,” which means Heaven. When Harry says he’s scared, he rolls over into the exact position that his physical body had died in. He releases a big breath and, finally being truly loved, releases his soul into the stars being held by the man who he loves and loves him in return …
What’s left to interpretation is the question, is Adam dead too?!
Some say yes, that he died from an over dose of the drugs he was taking with Harry. He went through many meta states before waking up with Harry, Harry telling him he was calling for his parents at the club and he was brought back home to sleep it off. I don’t know the answer, but it is as good as any. Otherwise, how Could they both become a star in a constellation when Harry dies? I don’t know.
@ethanclarkreacts This is based very loosely on a Japanese book. In the book, the parents are ghosts. The director, Andrew Haigh, wanted it to not be ghosts and that it could be in his mind. I think what's happening is that Adam is a screenwriter trying to write about his parents (he mentions this to Harry), so what is happening is Adam's way to talk to his parents that he never had the chance, and it turns out, it's the same with Harry. He is dealing with both the loss of his parents and the loss of Harry in a screenplay that he's writing to deal with this. Also, it's mentioned that both Adam and Harry are living in an apartment complex where basically the two of them live (and no one else). You can tell that Adam lives on a higher floor than Harry because the elevator has an arrow that keeps going up as Harry leaves on his floor. When Adam looks up, he sees Harry's apartment (at the start of the movie).
I would hope you will watch this again (and alone and not commenting every three seconds)
This movie allows for many interpretations and there are clues all along the way. But I don't think Haigh tries to force a literal narrative on us. It is a meditation on loss, grief and loneliness. Maybe it is all in Adam's head?? Maybe it is the script he is writing full of his need for closure with his parents and his ongoing inability to risk companionship. So many possibilities. I have watched it 3 times and each time I see/hear something new.
I don't know you and your history, but I wonder how much loneliness and grief you have experienced in your life. I am 70 years old and am very reflective on the many experiences I lived through. A sister's death in a car crash when I was 16, losing friends and lovers to AIDS, 9/11, Covid....and the destruction of Hurricane Maria to my tiny island in the Caribbean.... It's been a lot! And this movie triggered sadness for all the things unsaid and done.
I am still triggered by certain scenes in this movie.
Give it another go. Or maybe wait 20 years and you have had more life experiences with grief and loss.
I watched this in the run-up to the Oscars, even though it wasn't nominated, because everyone said it should have been. Excited you're watching this.
Definitely should have been, the acting so so phenomenal
@@ethanclarkreacts It's interesting that it's a ghost story very early, but it's still kind of a spoiler to say it's a ghost story. I mean, I wonder whether the awards kind of still look down at supernatural stories.
I know it! That alarm sounds like it's right in the room with you.
I got so worried for the second when it went off
This movie reaction followed by Fleabag and Normal People would be 💔 (Scott is in Fleabag, and Mescal is in Normal People)
Watch movie "In From the side" 2022
I was expecting this movie to be heartbreaking, but I had NO IDEA 😭
This is a shockingly dense film, so don’t feel bad about missing stuff
I’m 68. There was so much of my life up on that screen 😢
It's quite a movie.
Tried to watch this but you stop and go off on tangents about yourself i feel you werent really watching the film and made it about yourself, you seem like a nice person but id take inspo from a channel called " a story worth telling" who did a fab review of this brilliant film, if you had watched it properly you would have realised the end song was the song played at beginning when harry first arrived at adams door, anyways good luck with your channel
