Same.... I have seen their almost all interviews nobody asked them about this heart wrenching scene. I wish i could find behind the scene for this. Or i would like to know how they felt doing this scene because basically its like saying goodbye for 30 years without actually saying it. And they did such a great job. Damn i love this movie ❤️
@@justanotherfan8862 They did talk about the scene. Birdy cried when she heard the demo song Your Name Engraved Herein, he just had a strong feeling of the music. For A Han, the director had his mom recorded some words for him, so when he was holding the phone he actually heard his moms voice, that was what made him cried so hard.
After I finished watching the movie, my heart hurt. Not because of my own bad experience, and not only because of the film. I hurt so much for all the people out there who didn't get a happy ending. This story could be the story of millions in human history, of millions who had to love secretly, whose feelings were frowned upon. I hurt for all the broken hearts, all the people who never saw their loved one again. Love is such a pure, natural thing. Why does it have to be so difficult? Why is the world such an unfair place? We should spread love, and unite around our love 💕 Edit: Many people in the comments who read that are apprehensive about watching the movie, and I want to clarify that it's not exactly a sad ending. More of an open and even optimistic one. I don't want to spoil anything else. Some parts hurt, I'm not gonna lie, but I truly believe it's a movie that's worth a watch.
The movie broke my heart, mostly for my family members who could not be themselves for so many, many years and for my child, who is so fucking brave and just keeps putting their heart out there over and over again. Sometimes the world is so achingly beautiful and sometimes it is pure shit. I keep crying over and over again, every time I think I am done...
This is a classic neurotic response. If you love someone without nothing in return your are clearly a sick person in love off an idea, an abstraction, an illusion. Clearly a case for therapy. You can love and love and love again forever and the many times you need if you are alive. We need as society to destroy this destructive thinking of one and only romantic love like Romeo and Juliet. This are works of fiction to fantasize for the joy of art but not good examples for living. The real joy of living. This is the real human tragedy of stupidity magnify by the media. Better see the movie "Soul" by Disney who talk about obsessions in life. Nothing good come from obsessive thinking including obsessive love. Thanks.
@don't be sad. be safe it's a pretty sad ending, and looking how the movie ends with the two of them singing, I think they just reunited, sad open ending, they can be together yes, but you can't lose the fact that almost 30 years have wasted before they even get the chance to enjoy being themselves
Not this year. This year another movie called “A Sun” is representing Taiwan. We will see if this movie will be the Taiwanese entry for Oscar’s best foreign movie next year.
This looks seriously intense.... half of me is like “I can’t deal with all that” & the other half is “it’s probably a literally masterpiece you’d be stupid not to watch it, even if I have to read subtitles the whole time”...
민윤기 Oh Im ok with reading subtitles I’ve been doing it all year, I’ve watched movies and series “Thai, taiwanese, filipino, Korean, Chinese, Japanese” I’ve had a busy year But I’ll probably need glasses very soon, binge watching is tiring when you have to read at the same time LOL 😂 But all the ones I’ve seen have been worth it except a couple with sad/tragic endings I’d rather be wiped from my memory lol
@@cassie849 ahh u watch filipino bl? thats cool im from the philippines but i get it bc ive been watching kdramas mostly since 2016 and it may be tiring to watch while reading subs
민윤기 Yes, the ones I’ve seen and I’m still watching are good I like them, first one I saw was Quarantinethings (which is now finished) and I’m waiting for the final eps of “Boys lockdown” and “boyband Love” there’s a few more but I’m brain is blanking atm LOL 😂.... i also follow a reactor on TH-cam called “Revil” he’s from the Philippines, after I finish a series I usually then go and watch his reactions to it.... I’m getting used to the subs, I’ve actually become a slightly faster reader...
This movie talks about the religion, the politics, the love and the past and future. I really love how detailed this movie is, especially the telephone scene.
"Why is that okay for you to like a girl and it's not okay for me liking a boy? what's the difference?? what's make my like and your like different???" This iconic line, and then the phone scene... no, all the scene from this movie is iconic, beautiful, and a masterpiece. At the start, i thought i would be on jia han side, but towards the end of the story, i slowly understand birdy more. I hope there will be more amazing movies like this with a beautiful scenery, script, and even beautiful soundtrack, not just a usual bl where two handsome dude sucking e/o face with bland storyline 🙄
I’m still Jia Han’s side. Birdy should’ve at least told Jia Han his true feelings before and break his heart if he did not want them to be together. Love should always be clear. There will always be that boundary between friendship and romantic love that should never be crossed. If Birdy wanted Jia Han to move on he should have not let some of the events happen between them because those only made Jia Han confused and torn. I agree that those lines are really remarkable and iconic though!
@@thevinzicode3435 Both Jia Han and Birdy do not need to tell “I love you” to each other. They already know their love is mutual. If Jia Han did not recognise that Birdy also love him, Jia Han would not approach Birdy (the shower scene) after Birdy tried to distance him from Jia Han. You need to know that expressing love during that period is extremely difficult, even for a straight students couple (Birdy can only write “Wanan”, but not “I love you” on the balloon given to Ban Ban). Even straight students couples cannot express their love, then homosexuals expressing love is UNTHINKABLE. I recommend you reading this post to understand the story more: www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/comments/kjk1ga/seven_secrets_you_need_to_know_about_your_name/?
GOD BLESS YOU NETFLIX FOR THIS. This movie is Taiwan's highest grossing lgbt film this year and it garnered awards in the recently held Golden Horse Awards. Can't wait!
it's sad how this movie was released after same sex marriage became a right in taiwan, imagine how it feels for other people who had to live birdy and a-han's reality? i felt prouder to be gay and be more grateful for those who spoke up for us in their time and paved the way for us. It almost felt like I should also live the moment and love and be happy because now I get the chance to do it.
I never thought of the trailblazers who came before us and took a lot of pain and suffering from society so that we could be free to love. I am forever grateful for them. Also love your pfp of Seungmin 🥰
@@keio1069 They actually do! If you pay attention to the ending when they finally see each other they tell each other "I love you' through the secret code that they mentioned earlier in the movie (it's been a while so I don't exactly remember what it was) Then they walk off together in the night and we can see their younger self playing and walking together ( I interpret that last seen as them finally being happy together and that the love they had for each other is still as strong as it was when they met )
When you think that you are the rebellious and brave one, only to find that the person you thought a coward was willing to live out their own brave truth while you were too afraid to be true to your heart.
Because Birdy's love for Jia-Han is "protection". After passing through the campus corridor and being chased, Birdy realized that if he continued to approach Jia-Han, Jia-Han would also be regarded as a target of bullying. He believes that as long as Jia-Han can continue to be a "normal person" recognized by everyone in that era, Jia-Han will not lose what he should have. (Schoolwork, friendship and family affection) Birdy: "If what you give to me is the same as what you give to others, then I don’t want it." Watching this movie again, you will find that Birdy's love is not less than Jia-Han.
lol when you think birdy was coward but the truth is he was the strong one, y'all never realize how he never denied his sexuality to the entire school before jia-han enter his life right? everyone was assuming that he's gay but he never denied nor confirmed it, not until he saw how it could damage jia-han. he faced a lot of things, discrimination and bullying because of his sexuality. he was never afraid for himself, he was afraid for jia-han because he experienced those things. jia-han still had a family who believed in him while he had nothing to lose. he was a risk taker but he wouldn't just gamble jia-han's future knowing how hard it was in the past if you were out in public. before calling birdy "coward" watch the movie again and try to understand birdy's side. he was far from coward, he was brave enough to let go of the only love he has ever known his entire life, the love that not even his family made him feel. birdy's love for jia-han was as deep as jia-han's love for birdy.
Just watched it today. I can basically tell it's not a sad ending, it's like an open ending but with some hint, Birdy got divorced at the end, and his ex-wife told A Han that she couldn't change him for loving a man, and she was wrong from the very beginning... and then A Han and Birdy met each other on Canada and the chemistry gained back, it's an sweet open ending
I came here today to tell you how I feel after watching this movie. A rush of bliss and then sadness. I can't help but to wonder if my fate will be like theirs? I'm so afraid of growing old and being alone that it urges me to just go out there and love as long as I can and as much as I can. Truly a masterpiece of 2020. The ending is heart wrenching after realizing that the last few minutes of the movie is just a "what if?" of the two protagonist. I hope everyone who is hurting and searching right now, that you may find that person you will spend the rest of your days. No one, deserves to grow old and lonely. I tell you, NO ONE.
I loved your comment. I hope you find that special one to share your love, your affection and beautiful moments together. Sincerely my best wishes, from a fellow.
Well, Chang Jia-han character is written beautifully as a male lead. In the beginning, he is not brave and heroic as his interest Birdy. But he is slowly evolving, being consistent and true to his own. Every decision Chang Jia-han made strengthen his personality to be a believable character to carry this monotonous story.
Totally agree... In contrats to Birdy who has bold behavior from the beginning, instead he is the one who dare not to continue Jiahan's love, even though he wants to protect him.
*I TOLD SUNSET ABOUT YOU* is already taking away all the awards home next year but please Netflix should also promote it for the world because everybody needs to see that masterpiece.
I watched Your Name Engraved Herein today, it was beautiful, melancholic, aesthetic and heartbreaking. I can feel their pain, love, agony, fear, longingness, and regret. All at once, how is that possible to feel all those emotions at a certain moment. I felt bad for the characters, they could be happy together but they need to consider a lot of things. What saddens me more is that in reality there are so many Birdy and Jia Han out there who didn't have a happy ending just because society forbids that kind of love. And I can't understand that. I refuse to understand. Protecting each other by not being together is a different kind of pain. A happiness that could have been experienced but didn't because religion and law forbid.
Absolutely beautiful. I went into this expecting to see just another teen drama and instead I found myself swept up in an amazingly well crafted story, with terrific performances by the main leads, and an enormous attention to detail. It captures not only the love and pain of the protagonists but also the ambient in which they move. This movie absolutely deserves an Oscar nod. And the music! Oh my god the music...
Wasn't a movie. It was journey to understand your this community's struggle, pain, void, sufferings. So achingly beautiful. A journey I'll never be able to forget and will keep coming back to. Thank you Patrick Liu.
Taiwan will definitely pave the way for BL movies. Really rooting for Taiwan's next LGBT project.. And about YNEH, the whole world should know about this movie.. I hope it'll get the same appreciation and support from international audience also just like it got in Taiwan. It’s really a gem. The two actors are perfect 💜
I mean Taiwan is the only one (for now) country in Asian which legalized same sex marriage & accepting LGBTQIA+ rights. I'm so glad and happy because Taiwan really care about LGBTQIA+ people 😭❤️
I didn't expect much. I don't know, I just lowered my standards after watching to much bls I guess. So I really didn't expect much. And then I just sat there watching this movie and I wasn't this freaking emotionally invested in anything other then this movie in several months or even years. I'm not joking, this thing is a masterpiece. It feels so real, and so... I cannot even describe it. The story, the cinematography, the actors, like everything hit me directly in the heart. I love how even though the storyline is sooo real and logical it's still so unpredictable. The actors are without any doubt some of the best in this genre. And the music is also so amazing. Everyone who hasn't watched it yet, I strongly strongly recommend giving it a try. I don't say that often, believe me. But it's so freaking worth it.
Well, that's because this is not bl. As sad as it is, bl is mostly made by and for the pleasure of women. It's a very problematic subject that I won't get into, but basically, this movie feels different because it is different. Not only is this movie an anecdote from the director, but also just a movie about what being gay at that time might have looked for some people. It is fictional of course, but the story did happen in real life, and so the emotions that the actors were told to portray are more real. In contrast, most bl's are written by women and from the get-go, the stories from which they start (usually novels) are fictional and then get another adaptation in the form of a series or movie, but they don't care to touch on subjects like society's discrimination, the inner turmoil of figuring yourself out and then showing up and living without hiding, etc. (amongst other hardships that real lgbtq+ people experience) because the intention of bl is to entertain rather than tell a real story. And don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching bl, but more often than not some bls/gls aren't relatable to me as a member of the lgbt+ community. Because they lack the struggle and hardships that come with being gay, bi, lesbian, trans, etc.
I just discovered this movie last week, and I feel the same way you did about it now. I was just going to casually watch it before going to bed. I really did not expect it to have this effect on me. It's an incredibly amazing movie, just so sad.
Its a love that has been separate by their generation then later several years they contacted each other again hoping its not too late to continue what has been postponed Rip english
Almost 3 years since this came out but it's still playing over in my head. And I love their soundtracks, I mean the movie itself. This will forever have a special place in my heart.
Finished watching the movie. It has left me speechless. I can't describe the emotions I am feeling. It was one emotion provoking movie. I stared at the ceiling, felt melancholic, yet peaceful. Overcome bt emotions,. I shed lot of tears. Their love was immaculate and all so beautiful. It's just an empty feeling now that i have completed the movie. Unable to overcome the overbearing feelings i felt while watching the movie. This movie made me understand what love is.
Your Name Engraved Herein was indeed beautifully made. Imagine how hard for queers in those times where LGBTQ+ was not yet accepted in society. To compare now, Taiwan embraced the said minority and named as the runaway pink trailblazer of Asia- the most LGBT-friendly country in Asia. This film is absolutely an eye-opener for everyone that everything is worth fighting for. To all the queers out there who are still struggling to come out of the closet, just take your time. There will always be time for everything. Always know that you are as PRECIOUS, you are LOVED, you are WELCOME in this world. In no time, everything will be okay. Believe, trust, and continue to live.
I just finished watching this and dang, I was in snot and tears. I would definitely recommend this to whoever who'd want a wholesome and realistic BL movie. Now, goes #1 in my list. PLEASE WATCH UNTIL THE CREDITS, YOU WOULD FCKING CRY A LOT 'CAUSE IT SAYS SO MUCH.
I recommend you also watch Gaya sa Pelikula. It's a bl series from the Philippines. It's not a typical bl series full of romantic scenes. It's just so well-written, plus the message it's trying to portray is amazing.
This was one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. It left me absolutely speechless, once it ended I just stared at my screen trying to wrap my head around it. I don't think I could even accurately describe what the movie did to me, or just how breathtaking it was, so I won't. I'll just say that it was heart shattering in a very specific way, and moving all the same. I think that watching this movie allows you to truly feel what love is, even for just 2 hours.
i just finished watching the movie at 2am and i cant stop crying. both a-han & birdy are brave in different ways they could. your name engraved herein is such a masterpiece movie!!
I had tears in my eyes .The scenes were so beautifully executed.The telephone scene was truly heart-wrenthing .Never have i ever encountered such a great movie .😭😭
Just finished this. This movie really taught me on how to accept ourself before everything is too late. Appreciate and be bold with what we feel. And to accept whatever ending it will be with a grateful heart. 10/10!!! MASTERPIECE
I just finished watching it and i cannot believe i stayed to the very end like i really watched the end credits because i was crying already. This movie is the best BL ive seen this year. It frickin tore me apart, though i wanted more at the end at their older state. But i was so glad they met again. The actors who played the highschool parts were incredible. And the conversation between him and the priest was one of the highlights for me. I dont want to spoil anything about the story so if you’re seeing my comment, go watch it right now. It’s deserves way much more support and love.
This is such a beautiful and yet a sad story. Knowing this is based on a true event breaks my heart. I am from the same generation in the movie in Taiwan. This movie has stirred all my buried feelings and finally can’t stop my tears. I still can clearly remember the year we met. How you told me that you loved me and called me just to tell me you missed me and just wanted to hear my voice. I was leaning on you sleeping on a bus with a jacket covered our holding hands. At that time, it was the most beautiful thing in the world to me. Finally, a bisexual like you, told me that you wanted to move on with a normal life. All I could say was…. OK. So many times, I wanted to ask… are you brave enough to love me? It is 2020. So many people have fought for us so we are where we are now, but there are still so many places that still see us differently, and so many of us are still scared. I hope, someday, we don’t have to fight anymore and we all can tell the world that we love him.
I'm crying buckets after watching the movie. My heart goes to all those lovers who didn't get their happy endings & who need to suffer because of stigma in society. Even being a girl this movie made me experience their pain so much.
Beautifully haunting. It is one of those films that will consume you more and more intensely after you've watched it. The many seemingly playful words said by the two boys that delineate the heartbreaking realities of being a non-heterosexual in a deeply conservative society. The moments when the two grown boys finally fail to keep their raw emotions at bay and decide that they will simply let them burst. The points at which they come to realise that they have been too tired of concealing their vulnerability and their true selves. They will remain in my mind definitely for some time. I am so glad that there is a film like this and I have come across it and watched it. Highly recommended to anyone who likes watching films about love and first love.
I live in Vietnam, a country which is openning , my soul is like two characters in the movie, scared and shy. When I watched the movie a few days ago, I saw me in it, it is very similar to my life right now but unfortunately the person I look for hasn't appeared yet. Your acting as well as its content are so great, I'm glad that the two characters were finally able to find each other again but still leave deep regrets about their youth. Thank you all, I wish I could meet you guys in real life when I'm a real person
still my favorite movie of all time after two years. I watch it once a year bc i treasure it so dearly. I felt so much pain that i nearly shed a couple of tears. A masterpiece
okay beside this being such a masterpiece with an amazing storyline, the actors acting is chef' kiss. I think their acting made this movie 10000x better. you could literally feel their pain.
Honestly I've waited so long for this. I didn't think that when it got released on Taiwan a day or week after it will be the international release, I looked for sites where I can stream it online but there's no luck. Good thing that it's now on Netflix.
The scene when birdy was in jia han’s house and birdy told jia han he doesn’t have the balls and jia han came out to his parents in defiance of everything to prove birdy he loved him. The telephone scene. The beach scene. The scene wherein birdy’s dad came to school. It’s a magnificent movie that combines love, courage, jealousy, anguish, extreme sadness, bliss and so on.
I watched this with my sister and we absolutely fell in love with the characters. And all those scenes Omgggg so so good. The song he sang on the phone was everything
The ending was bittersweet, their young years they can never get back but they can cherish what they could have now. This movie was a masterpiece and it really hit home for me cause it’s so relatable. I kinda wish I found my own Jia Han or Banban haha.. honestly? I felt heartache knowing Birdy and Jia Han had been apart after that final scene, and it hurt. But the hurt was alleviated by that last scene of them two, being together. Together and happy. It made me happy, even through the hurt, I found their love engraved in the story, and that was all that really mattered.
Since everyone is promoting "I told sunset about you" here, i just want to promote also "Gaya sa Pelikula" (like in the movies) means in english, it's a Philippines BL series, This is not just a typical "BL" its base on true to life story and there's a lot knowledge you can learn, the actors portrayed their characters so damn well and they're both ✨hot✨.
how i wish it had been filmed sooner and not this late. but regardless, i am living for this movie!!! the story, the chemistry, the song. all of it was a master piece. this movie reminds me of my unrequited love to my first love in high school. its really hard to commit knowing we live in a judgemental society. afraid of taking big risks for the sake of love. i will always remember the way my heart beats when we're together and the memories we've had. its all that matters to me now. this movie is 1000000000/10 for me. hope they would come up another movie together.
I regret watching this at 2am, I am crying on my pillow. The telephone scene broke me in two, this is a masterpiece but I will never rewatch it, I think I will spend my whole life in therapy
After Watching This Movie, I am left with this melancholic feeling, not very stuffy but you can feel it. The movie and actors really did a great job portraying the feelings, the society as well as two main characters perspectives. This is a beautiful masterpiece.
I dont know if in the comments already know this but this movie is actually based on a true story Although we totally know how hard it was to be gay in any country and esp asian countries in 80-90 but knowing that these exact two with these exact names and events had such a heart breaking story some point in the past shatters my heart into thousands pieces The movies was top tier, the 2 main leads are so handsome and have great acting The showers scene was from another world ,the phone scene ....no words I hope these 2 are in some place in the world now being happy abt themselves
@@moonblue446 actually before I watch it, I already knew this would make me cry but I didn't know that this would make me cry harder than I thought. After watching this I listened to Lovesick Girls and it just made me cry harder(I dunno maybe just me)
Three months had past after I bravely watched the movie. Still, the feelings, the songs, the epic historical vibes remain in every cells I have now. I tell you, it takes so much courage, understanding and open heart in watching this kind of movie. Having these will help you fight the depression and overwhelming sadness brought by the movie. I had watched it and it really could trigger the anxieties and insecurities a person had. I am sending warm hugs to the persons dealing with their demons right now. Love like Birdy who is willing to lost everything he had even his love just to save him from great peril. Be understanding JiaHan who will understand a person's decision even if he bear a mad sadness within him.
it's 2022 but my heart still get hurt when i remember this movie bro and the fact that it's a true life story it hurts me a lot for jia-han and birdy they deserve the world.
Because in life no matter how we push it, there are still stigma in our societies. We may think that we are accepted but in truth we’re being ridiculed behind our backs
People would think that the crazy guy was Birdy, but it was actually A-han because he dared to show his love for Birdy at that time while Birdy was scared.
hey sorry i keep coming back but i dont think i'll get over this masterpiece anytime soon, i mean im engraved. im circling around their world, give me back my sanity lmao
I had watched Call Me By Your Name with great difficulty. Another TH-camr recommended this film to watch. Terrible idea. Why? This film mirrored my life from 1969-72 while I was in college. From the moment I met Jim, we were never the same. Jim was 6'3" tall, lean and muscular with sandy blond hair. He was beautiful inside and out. People loved him. Not a lazy bone in his body. Emotionally strong and stable. I never saw him get angry or say a bad word. I was the shorter at 5'10" with dark brown hair and a slighter build. Jim was into sports. I was into music but I loved his sports and he loved my music. Our whole beings were connected. We would see each other from a distance on campus and be drawn together, sitting under the trees on the grass talking as if we had all the time in the world, conversations we didn't want to end. We quickly became good friends. I was 20 and Jim was 21. Then something began to happen that the two of us had never experienced before. Love, life, passion...we took it to a new level. We ran around our college town having the time of our lives. We studied together, we played, sang and laughed a lot. We became obsessed with each other. Unlike Jai-han and Birdy, we never fought or argued. Initially, I did not know Jim was gay. It was not until he took me home with him one weekend to visit his family that I realized the love we had for each other. We slept in his room and that night I will never forget. Jim initiated everything and I was a more than willing follower. We took every opportunity to be alone and enjoy ourselves with a ski trip to the Colorado Rockies, a train trip to Kansas City or just visit our families. What we had was very special. It was our secret. Our friends did not know of our passion and love for each other. We never talked about BEING gay, we just lived it. This continued for 3 years until graduation. We saw the end coming. We knew a gay relationship was not sustainable in conservative midwest rural America. The times were stacked against us. Separating was agony and pain, just like Jai-han and Birdy. I cried myself to sleep every night or didn't sleep at all. I had no family, no friends or clergy to confide in. We had no internet, no social media and so I suffered in silence with tormenting dreams about Jim that lasted for years. My dreams were a continuation of our love. I would wake up all confused, thinking Jim was back only to realize he was NEVER coming back. Jim eventually married and I as well. This was 49 years ago. The last time I saw him was 27 years ago. Jim and I send a Christmas card and note to each other every year. We both have children and grandchildren now. Surprisingly, after a phone call from Jim, we started texting in 2019. We plan to meet in September 2021. The love that was kindled and ignited in 1969 has never died over all these years. There is a love that is for life.....this movie captured the essence of true love.
@@anaghamenon3920 We were in our prime in our 20s. We are nolonger young. But love is the same whether you are 20, 50 or 70. Ppl tell me I don't look 50 but the years have taken their toll. I am well beyond 50 in age. It has been a long, long road that has never ended. The love between Jim and I was the greatest love I have ever experienced on this earth. It was an enduring love but not enduring enough to overcome the prejudice, the scoffing, the ridicule and rejection that we knew would come from family, friends, neighbors or any joe on the streets. Just like Jai-han and Birdy, we gave up EVERYTHING for a cheaper alternative and my heart still hurts and I still sometimes cry after almost 50 years.....
@@philshuster7463 I’m sorry that society took you both apart.. it’s so devastating how so many stories have ended up like this. But I hope that your love has given you the strength to endure and go on all these years.. It was heartwarming to read your story, I hope you get to meet Jim in September soon.🥺💗
@@anaghamenon3920 Your response made me cry. I tried to drown out the past with my profession and my family but a part of me still lives in 1969-72. You would think after all these years I would be over this. I could never release myself from Jim, don't want to....he will ALWAYS be with me but never close enough to have what we once had.😥 Ppl talk about first love but ours was anything but first love, it was our ONLY love.... One person replied, "Grow up. Get over it." I don't think that person has any idea about what real live is and probably never will. Thank God the movie director had a connection to this heartrending story from his own experience. Things like this happen in real life and change us...forever.
Your Name Engraved Herein is achingly beautiful. Everything from the script, the acting to the cinematography was perfect. Makes my heart ache that so many people still have to be shamed, judged and even persecuted because of who they love. Love is love is love - everyone deserves to love and be loved. Taiwan is the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage while same-sex relationships are still criminalized in Singapore and Malaysia... we still have a long way to go. To any LGBTQ+ folks struggling out there, I'm rooting for you and stay strong. Although the ending is slightly disappointing, I like that it's an open ending that leans on the hopeful side. All in all, a spectacular movie that deserves all the love. Asian cinema just hits differently, the depth, subtlety and nuances of this film remind me a bit of Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together. This line is my favourite: "It's fine for you to like a girl, why isn't it fine for me to like a boy? Is your love any greater than mine, my love any lesser?"
I'm still relieved that no one barged in during the shower scene and that scene at some island I really thought he was going to jump liek most of the time I was thinking if something bad were gonna happen to either one of them. Glad they got the happiness they deserved as the movie ended

The two lead actors were amazing. The shower scene, the beach scene, and the telephone scene were just iconic and beautifully executed. What a film.
totally agree
Those scenes were beautifully done.
Telephone scene is the saddest part.. Its breaking every heart..
Omg those were my 3 favorites scenes and definitely the best most beautiful ones
Telephone scene ruined me, I cried so bad😭
The telephone scene, I tell you. You will cry just like everyone who watched it. Still hurts in me
Same.... I have seen their almost all interviews nobody asked them about this heart wrenching scene. I wish i could find behind the scene for this. Or i would like to know how they felt doing this scene because basically its like saying goodbye for 30 years without actually saying it. And they did such a great job.
Damn i love this movie ❤️
@@justanotherfan8862 ikr like how can people not ask about it?
@@mayaleite727 🤷♀️
@@justanotherfan8862 They did talk about the scene. Birdy cried when she heard the demo song Your Name Engraved Herein, he just had a strong feeling of the music. For A Han, the director had his mom recorded some words for him, so when he was holding the phone he actually heard his moms voice, that was what made him cried so hard.
@@yuyi8791 could you please provide me the link to the video? I want to watch it😭🙏
After I finished watching the movie, my heart hurt. Not because of my own bad experience, and not only because of the film. I hurt so much for all the people out there who didn't get a happy ending. This story could be the story of millions in human history, of millions who had to love secretly, whose feelings were frowned upon. I hurt for all the broken hearts, all the people who never saw their loved one again. Love is such a pure, natural thing. Why does it have to be so difficult? Why is the world such an unfair place? We should spread love, and unite around our love 💕
Edit: Many people in the comments who read that are apprehensive about watching the movie, and I want to clarify that it's not exactly a sad ending. More of an open and even optimistic one. I don't want to spoil anything else. Some parts hurt, I'm not gonna lie, but I truly believe it's a movie that's worth a watch.
Bless u
Very nice synthesis :,(
The movie broke my heart, mostly for my family members who could not be themselves for so many, many years and for my child, who is so fucking brave and just keeps putting their heart out there over and over again. Sometimes the world is so achingly beautiful and sometimes it is pure shit. I keep crying over and over again, every time I think I am done...
Same 😭😭😭
This is a classic neurotic response. If you love someone without nothing in return your are clearly a sick person in love off an idea, an abstraction, an illusion. Clearly a case for therapy. You can love and love and love again forever and the many times you need if you are alive. We need as society to destroy this destructive thinking of one and only romantic love like Romeo and Juliet. This are works of fiction to fantasize for the joy of art but not good examples for living. The real joy of living. This is the real human tragedy of stupidity magnify by the media. Better see the movie "Soul" by Disney who talk about obsessions in life. Nothing good come from obsessive thinking including obsessive love. Thanks.

Francesco Griffo thanks for saying that. I agree.

@@shumingc when does that usually happen? thus was my first Taiwan movie lol
This looks seriously intense.... half of me is like “I can’t deal with all that” & the other half is “it’s probably a literally masterpiece you’d be stupid not to watch it, even if I have to read subtitles the whole time”...
Same brahh
you'll be missing lots of good lgbt movies and dramas bc u dont want to read the subs ! there are tons of asian ones
민윤기 Oh Im ok with reading subtitles I’ve been doing it all year, I’ve watched movies and series “Thai, taiwanese, filipino, Korean, Chinese, Japanese” I’ve had a busy year But I’ll probably need glasses very soon, binge watching is tiring when you have to read at the same time LOL 😂 But all the ones I’ve seen have been worth it except a couple with sad/tragic endings I’d rather be wiped from my memory lol
@@cassie849 ahh u watch filipino bl? thats cool im from the philippines but i get it bc ive been watching kdramas mostly since 2016 and it may be tiring to watch while reading subs
민윤기 Yes, the ones I’ve seen and I’m still watching are good I like them, first one I saw was Quarantinethings (which is now finished) and I’m waiting for the final eps of “Boys lockdown” and “boyband Love” there’s a few more but I’m brain is blanking atm LOL 😂.... i also follow a reactor on TH-cam called “Revil” he’s from the Philippines, after I finish a series I usually then go and watch his reactions to it.... I’m getting used to the subs, I’ve actually become a slightly faster reader...
This movie talks about the religion, the politics, the love and the past and future. I really love how detailed this movie is, especially the telephone scene.
"Why is that okay for you to like a girl and it's not okay for me liking a boy? what's the difference?? what's make my like and your like different???"
This iconic line, and then the phone scene... no, all the scene from this movie is iconic, beautiful, and a masterpiece. At the start, i thought i would be on jia han side, but towards the end of the story, i slowly understand birdy more. I hope there will be more amazing movies like this with a beautiful scenery, script, and even beautiful soundtrack, not just a usual bl where two handsome dude sucking e/o face with bland storyline 🙄
I’m still Jia Han’s side.
Birdy should’ve at least told Jia Han his true feelings before and break his heart if he did not want them to be together. Love should always be clear. There will always be that boundary between friendship and romantic love that should never be crossed. If Birdy wanted Jia Han to move on he should have not let some of the events happen between them because those only made Jia Han confused and torn.
I agree that those lines are really remarkable and iconic though!
@@thevinzicode3435 Both Jia Han and Birdy do not need to tell “I love you” to each other. They already know their love is mutual. If Jia Han did not recognise that Birdy also love him, Jia Han would not approach Birdy (the shower scene) after Birdy tried to distance him from Jia Han.
You need to know that expressing love during that period is extremely difficult, even for a straight students couple (Birdy can only write “Wanan”, but not “I love you” on the balloon given to Ban Ban). Even straight students couples cannot express their love, then homosexuals expressing love is UNTHINKABLE.
I recommend you reading this post to understand the story more:

it's sad how this movie was released after same sex marriage became a right in taiwan, imagine how it feels for other people who had to live birdy and a-han's reality? i felt prouder to be gay and be more grateful for those who spoke up for us in their time and paved the way for us. It almost felt like I should also live the moment and love and be happy because now I get the chance to do it.

Haha yws
When you think that you are the rebellious and brave one, only to find that the person you thought a coward was willing to live out their own brave truth while you were too afraid to be true to your heart.
that's why i almost hated Birdy. I was pissed that he regressed into hiding when he was so unabashed in the beginning.
Because Birdy's love for Jia-Han is "protection".
After passing through the campus corridor and being chased, Birdy realized that if he continued to approach Jia-Han, Jia-Han would also be regarded as a target of bullying.
He believes that as long as Jia-Han can continue to be a "normal person" recognized by everyone in that era, Jia-Han will not lose what he should have. (Schoolwork, friendship and family affection)
Birdy: "If what you give to me is the same as what you give to others, then I don’t want it."
Watching this movie again, you will find that Birdy's love is not less than Jia-Han.
fr
@Trey G easy for you to say. Were you gay in 1980s Taiwan?
lol when you think birdy was coward but the truth is he was the strong one, y'all never realize how he never denied his sexuality to the entire school before jia-han enter his life right? everyone was assuming that he's gay but he never denied nor confirmed it, not until he saw how it could damage jia-han. he faced a lot of things, discrimination and bullying because of his sexuality. he was never afraid for himself, he was afraid for jia-han because he experienced those things. jia-han still had a family who believed in him while he had nothing to lose. he was a risk taker but he wouldn't just gamble jia-han's future knowing how hard it was in the past if you were out in public. before calling birdy "coward" watch the movie again and try to understand birdy's side. he was far from coward, he was brave enough to let go of the only love he has ever known his entire life, the love that not even his family made him feel. birdy's love for jia-han was as deep as jia-han's love for birdy.
"Everyone's first love has the grandeur of an epic movie." That's so true...

The exchanges of dialogues between Father Oliver and Jia-Han is one of my most favorite scenes in this movie! Those lines were so powerful and true!
Just watched it today. I can basically tell it's not a sad ending, it's like an open ending but with some hint, Birdy got divorced at the end, and his ex-wife told A Han that she couldn't change him for loving a man, and she was wrong from the very beginning... and then A Han and Birdy met each other on Canada and the chemistry gained back, it's an sweet open ending
Not to mention the mutual damage attained from even trying.

Watched it too just now and the ending was unexpectedly happy
@@robinfaigmane10 yea it's like full of hopes
@@Aricbleh agree! I was sooo ready to cry -just like most of LGBTQ movies but at least this one has a happy ending haha
I came here today to tell you how I feel after watching this movie. A rush of bliss and then sadness. I can't help but to wonder if my fate will be like theirs? I'm so afraid of growing old and being alone that it urges me to just go out there and love as long as I can and as much as I can. Truly a masterpiece of 2020. The ending is heart wrenching after realizing that the last few minutes of the movie is just a "what if?" of the two protagonist.
I hope everyone who is hurting and searching right now, that you may find that person you will spend the rest of your days. No one, deserves to grow old and lonely. I tell you, NO ONE.
thank you for your beautiful comment
I loved your comment. I hope you find that special one to share your love, your affection and beautiful moments together. Sincerely my best wishes, from a fellow.
The actors did such a good job and transmitting the emotion through the screen, I could feel everything so deeply.
It was beautiful.
Well, Chang Jia-han character is written beautifully as a male lead. In the beginning, he is not brave and heroic as his interest Birdy. But he is slowly evolving, being consistent and true to his own. Every decision Chang Jia-han made strengthen his personality to be a believable character to carry this monotonous story.
They basically switch personalities by the end...
Jiahan becomes brave and Birdy becomes a coward
Totally agree... In contrats to Birdy who has bold behavior from the beginning, instead he is the one who dare not to continue Jiahan's love, even though he wants to protect him.
Actually at first I like Birdy but I end up liking Jia-han personality more. But in all I love them .

@@cheezytortilla6076 go Google and search...
I watched Your Name Engraved Herein today, it was beautiful, melancholic, aesthetic and heartbreaking. I can feel their pain, love, agony, fear, longingness, and regret. All at once, how is that possible to feel all those emotions at a certain moment. I felt bad for the characters, they could be happy together but they need to consider a lot of things. What saddens me more is that in reality there are so many Birdy and Jia Han out there who didn't have a happy ending just because society forbids that kind of love. And I can't understand that. I refuse to understand. Protecting each other by not being together is a different kind of pain. A happiness that could have been experienced but didn't because religion and law forbid.
I was waiting for this movie to come In any legal website and now now Netflix is promoting it .Iam so happy😭😭
I know right I was just searching it on legal websites just last week and now it’s on my TH-cam recommendation

did you alredy watched it?
Just saw it... broke my heart in a million pieces. I'm not ok.
Absolutely beautiful. I went into this expecting to see just another teen drama and instead I found myself swept up in an amazingly well crafted story, with terrific performances by the main leads, and an enormous attention to detail. It captures not only the love and pain of the protagonists but also the ambient in which they move. This movie absolutely deserves an Oscar nod. And the music! Oh my god the music...
Too bad this movie was not sent in Oscars, Taiwan can only send one movie and its "A Sun"

Taiwan will definitely pave the way for BL movies. Really rooting for Taiwan's next LGBT project.. And about YNEH, the whole world should know about this movie.. I hope it'll get the same appreciation and support from international audience also just like it got in Taiwan. It’s really a gem. The two actors are perfect 💜
I mean Taiwan is the only one (for now) country in Asian which legalized same sex marriage & accepting LGBTQIA+ rights. I'm so glad and happy because Taiwan really care about LGBTQIA+ people 😭❤️
I didn't expect much. I don't know, I just lowered my standards after watching to much bls I guess. So I really didn't expect much. And then I just sat there watching this movie and I wasn't this freaking emotionally invested in anything other then this movie in several months or even years. I'm not joking, this thing is a masterpiece. It feels so real, and so... I cannot even describe it. The story, the cinematography, the actors, like everything hit me directly in the heart. I love how even though the storyline is sooo real and logical it's still so unpredictable. The actors are without any doubt some of the best in this genre. And the music is also so amazing. Everyone who hasn't watched it yet, I strongly strongly recommend giving it a try. I don't say that often, believe me. But it's so freaking worth it.
Well, that's because this is not bl. As sad as it is, bl is mostly made by and for the pleasure of women. It's a very problematic subject that I won't get into, but basically, this movie feels different because it is different. Not only is this movie an anecdote from the director, but also just a movie about what being gay at that time might have looked for some people. It is fictional of course, but the story did happen in real life, and so the emotions that the actors were told to portray are more real. In contrast, most bl's are written by women and from the get-go, the stories from which they start (usually novels) are fictional and then get another adaptation in the form of a series or movie, but they don't care to touch on subjects like society's discrimination, the inner turmoil of figuring yourself out and then showing up and living without hiding, etc. (amongst other hardships that real lgbtq+ people experience) because the intention of bl is to entertain rather than tell a real story.
And don't get me wrong, I enjoy watching bl, but more often than not some bls/gls aren't relatable to me as a member of the lgbt+ community. Because they lack the struggle and hardships that come with being gay, bi, lesbian, trans, etc.
I just discovered this movie last week, and I feel the same way you did about it now. I was just going to casually watch it before going to bed. I really did not expect it to have this effect on me. It's an incredibly amazing movie, just so sad.
This trailers is telling me that there's something hidden. Must go for it. It worth your time. While watching it i feel deeply immersed in the scenes
Its a love that has been separate by their generation then later several years they contacted each other again hoping its not too late to continue what has been postponed
Rip english
Almost 3 years since this came out but it's still playing over in my head. And I love their soundtracks, I mean the movie itself. This will forever have a special place in my heart.
I watched this last night and I bawled my eyes out for almost 2 hours. I COULDNT STOP CRYING!! This movie is a masterpiece!
Finished watching the movie. It has left me speechless. I can't describe the emotions I am feeling. It was one emotion provoking movie. I stared at the ceiling, felt melancholic, yet peaceful. Overcome bt emotions,. I shed lot of tears. Their love was immaculate and all so beautiful. It's just an empty feeling now that i have completed the movie. Unable to overcome the overbearing feelings i felt while watching the movie. This movie made me understand what love is.
Your Name Engraved Herein was indeed beautifully made. Imagine how hard for queers in those times where LGBTQ+ was not yet accepted in society. To compare now, Taiwan embraced the said minority and named as the runaway pink trailblazer of Asia- the most LGBT-friendly country in Asia. This film is absolutely an eye-opener for everyone that everything is worth fighting for. To all the queers out there who are still struggling to come out of the closet, just take your time. There will always be time for everything. Always know that you are as PRECIOUS, you are LOVED, you are WELCOME in this world. In no time, everything will be okay. Believe, trust, and continue to live.
the storytelling was a masterpiece. you know, being a homosexual in that era is really difficult unlike today

Their relation was so deep with emotions, kept me thinking about the realness they had. Absolutely beautiful. Go watch it, you wont regret.

This was one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen. It left me absolutely speechless, once it ended I just stared at my screen trying to wrap my head around it. I don't think I could even accurately describe what the movie did to me, or just how breathtaking it was, so I won't. I'll just say that it was heart shattering in a very specific way, and moving all the same. I think that watching this movie allows you to truly feel what love is, even for just 2 hours.
wow i felt just the same
This happened to me also
i just finished watching the movie at 2am and i cant stop crying. both a-han & birdy are brave in different ways they could. your name engraved herein is such a masterpiece movie!!
Is it a ssd ending??
I had tears in my eyes .The scenes were so beautifully executed.The telephone scene was truly heart-wrenthing .Never have i ever encountered such a great movie .😭😭
Just finished this. This movie really taught me on how to accept ourself before everything is too late. Appreciate and be bold with what we feel. And to accept whatever ending it will be with a grateful heart. 10/10!!! MASTERPIECE
It’s been two weeks after watching this movie yet the pain is still fresh on my mind.
I just finished watching it and i cannot believe i stayed to the very end like i really watched the end credits because i was crying already. This movie is the best BL ive seen this year. It frickin tore me apart, though i wanted more at the end at their older state. But i was so glad they met again. The actors who played the highschool parts were incredible. And the conversation between him and the priest was one of the highlights for me. I dont want to spoil anything about the story so if you’re seeing my comment, go watch it right now. It’s deserves way much more support and love.
This is such a beautiful and yet a sad story. Knowing this is based on a true event breaks my heart. I am from the same generation in the movie in Taiwan. This movie has stirred all my buried feelings and finally can’t stop my tears.
I still can clearly remember the year we met. How you told me that you loved me and called me just to tell me you missed me and just wanted to hear my voice. I was leaning on you sleeping on a bus with a jacket covered our holding hands. At that time, it was the most beautiful thing in the world to me. Finally, a bisexual like you, told me that you wanted to move on with a normal life. All I could say was…. OK.
So many times, I wanted to ask… are you brave enough to love me?
It is 2020. So many people have fought for us so we are where we are now, but there are still so many places that still see us differently, and so many of us are still scared. I hope, someday, we don’t have to fight anymore and we all can tell the world that we love him.
This film literally speaks for me. Thank you to the people who made this film :)
This movie taught me that.
When you love a person that much no matter how old you get the love still remain thesame
I'm crying buckets after watching the movie. My heart goes to all those lovers who didn't get their happy endings & who need to suffer because of stigma in society. Even being a girl this movie made me experience their pain so much.
Beautifully haunting. It is one of those films that will consume you more and more intensely after you've watched it. The many seemingly playful words said by the two boys that delineate the heartbreaking realities of being a non-heterosexual in a deeply conservative society. The moments when the two grown boys finally fail to keep their raw emotions at bay and decide that they will simply let them burst. The points at which they come to realise that they have been too tired of concealing their vulnerability and their true selves. They will remain in my mind definitely for some time. I am so glad that there is a film like this and I have come across it and watched it.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes watching films about love and first love.
Can we appreciate that the final scene is over 5 minutes long one-take? Amazing!
This is a GEM! Consistent acting, fantastic editing, beautiful cinematography, and a solid story. Very real. Congratulations, Taiwan!
just finished watching the whole movie... WHY DID I WATCHED IT AT 3AM😭😭😭 now im feeling all different kinds of emotions 😭😭😭
I live in Vietnam, a country which is openning , my soul is like two characters in the movie, scared and shy. When I watched the movie a few days ago, I saw me in it, it is very similar to my life right now but unfortunately the person I look for hasn't appeared yet. Your acting as well as its content are so great, I'm glad that the two characters were finally able to find each other again but still leave deep regrets about their youth. Thank you all, I wish I could meet you guys in real life when I'm a real person
still my favorite movie of all time after two years. I watch it once a year bc i treasure it so dearly. I felt so much pain that i nearly shed a couple of tears.
A masterpiece
The actors and the soundtrack were top-notch.
okay beside this being such a masterpiece with an amazing storyline, the actors acting is chef' kiss. I think their acting made this movie 10000x better. you could literally feel their pain.
I remember watching this trailer a thousand times and today I finally watched the film.
Absolutely beautiful. Totally worth the wait.
Honestly I've waited so long for this. I didn't think that when it got released on Taiwan a day or week after it will be the international release, I looked for sites where I can stream it online but there's no luck. Good thing that it's now on Netflix.
I came back just to say this is what a trailer should look like.
the telephone scene had me in tears! especially the end
Just finished watching this last night, my only take is this: GO SEE IT, AND URGE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SEE IT TOO. RIGHT AWAY!!!!!!!
The scene when birdy was in jia han’s house and birdy told jia han he doesn’t have the balls and jia han came out to his parents in defiance of everything to prove birdy he loved him.
The telephone scene.
The beach scene.
The scene wherein birdy’s dad came to school.
It’s a magnificent movie that combines love, courage, jealousy, anguish, extreme sadness, bliss and so on.
I watched this with my sister and we absolutely fell in love with the characters. And all those scenes Omgggg so so good. The song he sang on the phone was everything

just completed this movie earlier today & it crushed my soul. It has stirred all sorts of sad emotions in me & yet it was so beautiful & fulfilling.
The ending was bittersweet, their young years they can never get back but they can cherish what they could have now. This movie was a masterpiece and it really hit home for me cause it’s so relatable. I kinda wish I found my own Jia Han or Banban haha.. honestly? I felt heartache knowing Birdy and Jia Han had been apart after that final scene, and it hurt. But the hurt was alleviated by that last scene of them two, being together. Together and happy. It made me happy, even through the hurt, I found their love engraved in the story, and that was all that really mattered.
Since everyone is promoting "I told sunset about you" here, i just want to promote also "Gaya sa Pelikula" (like in the movies) means in english, it's a Philippines BL series, This is not just a typical "BL" its base on true to life story and there's a lot knowledge you can learn, the actors portrayed their characters so damn well and they're both ✨hot✨.
thank you for the recommendation 😭💞
Thx i will look it up.
YESSSS.
I'm so glad to see GSP mentioned here, really top tier all these three works of art😭💜
GSP was liteally the most beautiful BL work I watched this year... The music that completes each scene is the cherry on the cake
how i wish it had been filmed sooner and not this late. but regardless, i am living for this movie!!! the story, the chemistry, the song. all of it was a master piece. this movie reminds me of my unrequited love to my first love in high school. its really hard to commit knowing we live in a judgemental society. afraid of taking big risks for the sake of love. i will always remember the way my heart beats when we're together and the memories we've had. its all that matters to me now.
this movie is 1000000000/10 for me. hope they would come up another movie together.
Ok watched this movie and it literally broke me. The acting and the chemistry between the two leads ARE A+++
I regret watching this at 2am, I am crying on my pillow. The telephone scene broke me in two, this is a masterpiece but I will never rewatch it, I think I will spend my whole life in therapy
After Watching This Movie, I am left with this melancholic feeling, not very stuffy but you can feel it. The movie and actors really did a great job portraying the feelings, the society as well as two main characters perspectives. This is a beautiful masterpiece.
I felt the same way. I really love this movie.
I want to see them again as pair in another movie. I really fall in love with them
I dont know if in the comments already know this but this movie is actually based on a true story
Although we totally know how hard it was to be gay in any country and esp asian countries in 80-90 but knowing that these exact two with these exact names and events had such a heart breaking story some point in the past shatters my heart into thousands pieces
The movies was top tier, the 2 main leads are so handsome and have great acting
The showers scene was from another world ,the phone scene ....no words
I hope these 2 are in some place in the world now being happy abt themselves
man this movie broke my heart in a million peaces cause it shows our reality... the telephone scene MY GOD 😭 i don't think i'll ever be the same again
Just finished watching it. I can't stop crying 😭😭
Ps. Planning to rewatch it after I stop crying and being sad remembering the movie
me too ...I finished it like 2 minute ago ....tears like a river
@@moonblue446 actually before I watch it, I already knew this would make me cry but I didn't know that this would make me cry harder than I thought. After watching this I listened to Lovesick Girls and it just made me cry harder(I dunno maybe just me)
@@youtube_lg9942 i still cannot move on from phone scene..the song was legend..i play it over and over to get a good cry .. i think im broke inside
If you guy know the Mandarin language in the movie, I bet you would even cry harder😎

Three months had past after I bravely watched the movie. Still, the feelings, the songs, the epic historical vibes remain in every cells I have now. I tell you, it takes so much courage, understanding and open heart in watching this kind of movie. Having these will help you fight the depression and overwhelming sadness brought by the movie. I had watched it and it really could trigger the anxieties and insecurities a person had. I am sending warm hugs to the persons dealing with their demons right now. Love like Birdy who is willing to lost everything he had even his love just to save him from great peril. Be understanding JiaHan who will understand a person's decision even if he bear a mad sadness within him.
it's 2022 but my heart still get hurt when i remember this movie bro and the fact that it's a true life story it hurts me a lot for jia-han and birdy they deserve the world.
I am so grateful for having seen this beautiful movie.
It allowed us to remember for a day how deep in love we all have been once
Idk whether to regret watching this bcoz it hurts real bad or be glad I don't miss this masterpiece
Taiwanese movie never dissapoints me ♥️
That telephone scene is the best 👍🏼
A masterpiece. I love how it depicts reality. Unlike other BLs where everyone went gay, and everyone supported.
me too , it's so unrealistic that everyone supports gay
Because in life no matter how we push it, there are still stigma in our societies. We may think that we are accepted but in truth we’re being ridiculed behind our backs
People would think that the crazy guy was Birdy, but it was actually A-han because he dared to show his love for Birdy at that time while Birdy was scared.
hey sorry i keep coming back but i dont think i'll get over this masterpiece anytime soon, i mean im engraved. im circling around their world, give me back my sanity lmao
me too
i ll keep this movie so close to my heart, till the end of my days
I mean i get you! That movie was a masterpiece!
SAME I HOPE WE GET BETTER SOON
I had watched Call Me By Your Name with great difficulty. Another TH-camr recommended this film to watch. Terrible idea. Why? This film mirrored my life from 1969-72 while I was in college. From the moment I met Jim, we were never the same. Jim was 6'3" tall, lean and muscular with sandy blond hair. He was beautiful inside and out. People loved him. Not a lazy bone in his body. Emotionally strong and stable. I never saw him get angry or say a bad word. I was the shorter at 5'10" with dark brown hair and a slighter build. Jim was into sports. I was into music but I loved his sports and he loved my music. Our whole beings were connected. We would see each other from a distance on campus and be drawn together, sitting under the trees on the grass talking as if we had all the time in the world, conversations we didn't want to end. We quickly became good friends. I was 20 and Jim was 21. Then something began to happen that the two of us had never experienced before. Love, life, passion...we took it to a new level. We ran around our college town having the time of our lives. We studied together, we played, sang and laughed a lot. We became obsessed with each other. Unlike Jai-han and Birdy, we never fought or argued. Initially, I did not know Jim was gay. It was not until he took me home with him one weekend to visit his family that I realized the love we had for each other. We slept in his room and that night I will never forget. Jim initiated everything and I was a more than willing follower. We took every opportunity to be alone and enjoy ourselves with a ski trip to the Colorado Rockies, a train trip to Kansas City or just visit our families. What we had was very special. It was our secret. Our friends did not know of our passion and love for each other. We never talked about BEING gay, we just lived it. This continued for 3 years until graduation. We saw the end coming. We knew a gay relationship was not sustainable in conservative midwest rural America. The times were stacked against us. Separating was agony and pain, just like Jai-han and Birdy. I cried myself to sleep every night or didn't sleep at all. I had no family, no friends or clergy to confide in. We had no internet, no social media and so I suffered in silence with tormenting dreams about Jim that lasted for years. My dreams were a continuation of our love. I would wake up all confused, thinking Jim was back only to realize he was NEVER coming back. Jim eventually married and I as well. This was 49 years ago. The last time I saw him was 27 years ago. Jim and I send a Christmas card and note to each other every year. We both have children and grandchildren now. Surprisingly, after a phone call from Jim, we started texting in 2019. We plan to meet in September 2021. The love that was kindled and ignited in 1969 has never died over all these years. There is a love that is for life.....this movie captured the essence of true love.
Thank you so much for sharing this. True Love never fades.💗💗
@@anaghamenon3920 We were in our prime in our 20s. We are nolonger young. But love is the same whether you are 20, 50 or 70. Ppl tell me I don't look 50 but the years have taken their toll. I am well beyond 50 in age. It has been a long, long road that has never ended. The love between Jim and I was the greatest love I have ever experienced on this earth. It was an enduring love but not enduring enough to overcome the prejudice, the scoffing, the ridicule and rejection that we knew would come from family, friends, neighbors or any joe on the streets. Just like Jai-han and Birdy, we gave up EVERYTHING for a cheaper alternative and my heart still hurts and I still sometimes cry after almost 50 years.....
@@philshuster7463 I’m sorry that society took you both apart.. it’s so devastating how so many stories have ended up like this. But I hope that your love has given you the strength to endure and go on all these years.. It was heartwarming to read your story, I hope you get to meet Jim in September soon.🥺💗
@@anaghamenon3920 Your response made me cry. I tried to drown out the past with my profession and my family but a part of me still lives in 1969-72. You would think after all these years I would be over this. I could never release myself from Jim, don't want to....he will ALWAYS be with me but never close enough to have what we once had.😥 Ppl talk about first love but ours was anything but first love, it was our ONLY love....
One person replied, "Grow up. Get over it." I don't think that person has any idea about what real live is and probably never will. Thank God the movie director had a connection to this heartrending story from his own experience. Things like this happen in real life and change us...forever.
Thank u for sharing this...
Your Name Engraved Herein is achingly beautiful. Everything from the script, the acting to the cinematography was perfect. Makes my heart ache that so many people still have to be shamed, judged and even persecuted because of who they love. Love is love is love - everyone deserves to love and be loved. Taiwan is the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage while same-sex relationships are still criminalized in Singapore and Malaysia... we still have a long way to go. To any LGBTQ+ folks struggling out there, I'm rooting for you and stay strong. Although the ending is slightly disappointing, I like that it's an open ending that leans on the hopeful side. All in all, a spectacular movie that deserves all the love. Asian cinema just hits differently, the depth, subtlety and nuances of this film remind me a bit of Wong Kar Wai's Happy Together. This line is my favourite: "It's fine for you to like a girl, why isn't it fine for me to like a boy? Is your love any greater than mine, my love any lesser?"
I'm still relieved that no one barged in during the shower scene and that scene at some island I really thought he was going to jump liek most of the time I was thinking if something bad were gonna happen to either one of them. Glad they got the happiness they deserved as the movie ended
