I can't stop watching this movie, idk what the hell they mixed in it but I am addicted. I have rewatched over ten times since past two weeks and currently questioning my sanity
I’m typically a film snob and rom coma usually aren’t my favorite, and there’s is so much in this movie to criticize from a technical standpoint and I can’t stop watching it. I’ve basically had it on repeat and I can’t explain why. I’m obsessed
My comment is from the perspective of a queer person that has not read the book. I watched the movie for what it was, a queer rom-com and I LOVE it. Most queer storylines in movies and TV series show more the traumas of queer life. We never get a happy ending, we are bullied, killed, end our own life, rejected, et, etc. I have grown tired of it. This movie gave me life and so did your reaction. I laughed, cried, fell in love, said "ridiculous" a few times. For 2 hours, I forgot all the worries of the world and allowed my heart to dream of an impossible love and to be loved. Queer people don't get these kind of movies and we need them so badly. It's the same reason why I love "Heartstopper" so much. For all the people criticizing the movie so harshly because it does not mirror the book exactly or your favourite character or part of the book was omitted. Please be gentle, they had a limited time to tell this story, and please think, when was the last time you watched a queer positive rom-com? I couldn't stop crying at the s*x scene. It's likely the first time I've seen intimacy between two men, that was romantic, gentle, sensual, caring and loving. We usually get the opposite and that scene alone told me that the producer, director, actors, etc, cared about the message of this movie.
I completely agree with this! It’s so beautiful like I read the book first back in February like I said in the reaction but I genuinely adore with film so much! It was so beautifully shot, the chemistry was out of this world amazing, the acting was fucking outstanding! They better get awards for their performance in this film because omg do they deserve it! And absolutely that sex scene was fucking beautiful! Like genuinely. As I mentioned to in the reaction, I’ve never seen such a beautiful sex scene on screen before with anyone tbh! I literally adore these universes so much! The happiness they provide me is just overwhelming! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and for bothering to watch me haha! X💜
I believe this movie marks a milestone in queer film. From now on, any queer film will be measured by the quality of this movie in its acting, directing and production.
Well Said Antonio! I have never read the book, and generally don’t like Rom Coms, but this I can’t stop watching! Stay safe, stay sane, stay strong 🏳️🌈
I keep watching reaction videos of this movie bc its my favorite movie but i only watched it once💀😭.. If i love a movie or show i either rewatch it or watch people watch it.
His presence as he walked into the room. Said nothing for a minute or so and I held my breath all the time. And when we waved his hand I felt the urge to sit down as well😅
King James, played by Stehen Fry, is a whole lot less homophobic than Queen Mary, the equivalent character in the book is. (That woman is just vile fr). Hot take: Both the fact that they changed the character from Queen Mary Mountchristen-Windsor to *James* Hanover-*Stuart* and that he is played by THE Stephen Fry is the creators hinting that the king is himself either gay or bi and closeted. King James I. (or VI. if you're Scottish) was a Stuart, too, and he famously loved the lads - in fact, in the fantastic Sky series "Mary & George", our boy Nicholas here plays one of King James' lovers! It's all very meta!
I love it all. I read the book and have the audiobook as well. I agree with most of that too. You can only put so much in a movie and there is always more detail in the book. ❤😊
Yes, but in the film, we can be shown things like the raise of an eyebrow or the hint of a smile after a remark, that doesn't translate well into words. I am now reading the book after seeing the movie endless times, and this brings so much more into the printed words, even if the movie and book don't quite agree.
I agree!! I listen to the audiobook A LOT and obviously I have read the physical book before watching the film back in February I believe, I just love it! I adore Alex and Henry so much! Hope we get a sequel! x @@johnnehrich9601 ❤
@@johnnehrich9601 very true, it’s definitely nice to go back and read it with those little things on our minds. The little things like the little pinky finger holds on the couch, or the little looks and smiles they gave each other when the other wasn’t looking and/or paying attention ❤️☺️😊 it’s all so cute.
I don’t understand the chemistry criticism AT ALL. I think sometimes people claim that there is no chemistry between characters if how they pictured the characters isn’t the same as how they appear on screen. Heartstopper faced similar criticism as Joe and Kit didn’t exactly resemble Alice’s characters as she drew them. But that nonsense was short lived.
It’s wild to me too! I think Taylor and Nick have so much chemistry and tbh with you Kit and Joe’s chemistry is unbelievable like truly! Id say these two duos along with Edvin & Omar from YR are like the best for onscreen chemistry I’ve probably ever seen like genuinely! BREATHTAKING 💜
I also think that the similarities of all the characters mentioned above are basically spot on casting wise, of course there are very minor differences but tbh the chemistry and acting and just love and respect they all share for eachother makes those differences so minuscule to me x
I don't know where did they find these two lead actors, but they did a fantastic job! The chemistry, intimacy is perfect! On that scene , they really were making love! It wasn't just a s*e*x. It was the first time that I saw this gay s*e*x scene so beautiful. Most of them are very quick and rushy. And from behind! It really showed that it was the first time for Alex ,and the first time for Henry with the one he is in love with. I have red the book last year. I mean... great adaptation from the book. And....I think that the museum was a sign that he could feel that he could easily and without fear walk among people and be himself. Dance with someone you like without anyone watching or judging you. Funny thing guys... Henry reminds me of Coffee Ice cream, Alex reminds me of Avacado on toast with a pinch of salt
Love their chemistry and friendship so much! Taylor and Nick are so so great! I really hope Casey makes a sequel and then I hope they make a sequel film too! Would be so good! 💙
Call me a romantic, but I genuinely loved this movie. I’ve read the book, the collection edition, and I’ve seen the deleted scenes which are amazing. How could they upgrade besides a sequel or series; a Broadway-West End bound musical. Just saying… 🇺🇸🇬🇧🏳️🌈❤️🤍💙
27:43 Right?? Alex said earlier he was going to do some very. bad. things to Henry, but it was the other way around, and in the end Alex was just basking in the afterglow, and Henry was completely dressed. Kind of unfair. 😂 I haven't read the book. I watched this movie knowing that it's an adaptation, and of course they wouldn't be able to keep everything from the book, and they would have to change things around, and probably add new things. I love this movie, and all the things that could be different, or that they could have done a little better, do not make me love it any less. I love it for what it is, a great love story between two queer men with a happy ending. There is not enough of those, and I hope Red, White and Royal Blue's success, and also Heartstopper's success, can help change that. Also, I loved your reaction. 😊
Ah thank you so much!! And me too! We need more shows and films like those for real!! Also in the book both men reciprocate on one another haha but maybe Alex did it off screen in the film? Who knows! I would recommend reading the book too! It goes so detailed with so many things and even though the movie was quite different I still love both the book and film so much💜
@@Hannahbond10 I admit I don't usually read things with characters from the royalty or politicians. I do read a lot of queer romance novels, though, I love them. Perhaps I'll read this one, after all it's the source material for this movie that I loved so much, and it expands on their relationship.
I like your perspective of enjoying the movie for what it is, and still bringing up the things you would liked to have seen or seen more of and still understanding why they may have chosen to leave them out.
Thank you so much!!! I just wanted to have a good time and I knew off the bat things would be different than the book and sometimes I think it helps to try and separate the two. I didn't wanna come into this reaction being negative because then you almost set yourself up to have a bad time. Plus how often do us queer people get a film like this? I loved it. I love the book, I love the film and I love the actors and actresses. They did an amazing job! And the chemistry between Nick & Taylor I saw from the beginning from clips I'd seen of the two! so so good! 💙
I love the Emails! One of my fave parts of the book! And that one specifically I love they included it a bit in the film! Even though they made slight changes to that email for the film💜
Alex & Henry gives such Merlin & Arthur vibes - the 'enemies' to lovers? the blond and brunette? the banter? please someone write a crossover fic with Alex & Henry being the reincarnated Merlin & Arthur or something (well, Merlin's immortal, but maybe he cast an amnesia spell on himself or something idk)
Ive watched this Movie at least 20 times and will keep watching It over and over again ,,,I have just read the book and prefer the Movie ! in the book for me there were too many side line characters we didnt need June she would of taken away from Noras role and i liked that we had Miguel to hate on instead of Luna and the parents were still married instead of divorced ..Taylor was a dream in this role both guys had chemistry
I’m happy for you! I love June personally and a lot of the original side characters but I did read the book first before the film so my love for the book was very strong however in my brain I tried to almost separate the book and film into a different sort of universe I suppose and I knew going into it a lot would be different as it is an adaptation. But I still thoroughly enjoyed both in their own ways! Nicholas and Taylor deserve awards for their performances in that film! Incredible! They where basically perfect casting imo x
If after you have perhaps watched this a few times and had a chance to reflect on this, I'd love to watch another reaction from you on this movie. It is so nice to share in your emotions brought out by this film, so yes, I'd love a followup.
I have been watching a lot of reaction videos for this movie. Who thinks the room Henry went down on Alex and the red room are the same set? They just need to paint them different colors.
How many books are there? Technically just the one but there’s a special edition available that you can get that has a little few pages from Henry’s POV included at the back if that’s what you where asking? x
I can't stop watching this movie, idk what the hell they mixed in it but I am addicted. I have rewatched over ten times since past two weeks and currently questioning my sanity
Biggest mood ever! This and HS have taken over my life honestly x😭💜
Sameeeee

That "baby and Alex voice" was the words that brought back Henry to life!!
Literally though. The relief on his face ahh 💙
Their chemistry is amazing. The scenes where they seem awkward is because the characters were at that time. Later, they're marvellous together.
Exactly 💜
Nobody ever comments on Alex's package when he walks into the polo match.
