These are the Nike Pegasus 2005 he wore at school perfomance i guess. I got min from ebay. They are great and feel so comfy. Part of my collection now.
Pd: I already made this post 10 months ago, but I realized I uploaded it to my profile and not to the community. How silly of me 🙈
I just watched this movie and thought it was an absolutely beautiful story. Might be one of the best movies I’ve seen in years.
One thing I loved was Elias’s internal struggles in contrast to Alexander’s openness regarding his sexuality. But that leads me to a a question I had and I’m wondering what everyone’s opinions are.
Was Alexander being unreasonable expecting Elias to come out right away? Obviously it’s fair that he wanted to be open about his boyfriend, but I feel like he wasn’t being respectful of Elias’s boundaries at all. Personally I think if Elias wanted to stay closeted for a little longer than Alexander should have respected that.
Thanks

Here's my Letterboxd ranking for all the gay films I've watched so far.
Still don't know if I'll ever beat the high of watching CMBYN for the first time. Even though everyone says it's overrated, nothing beats the Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer combo.
I loved how Elio wasn't sure about Oliver in the beginning, just to fall as hard as he did. Loved the cinematography, the dialogue, the yearning, the niche scenes.
I especially loved when Elio told Oliver why he didn't give him a sign, to which Oliver said he did when he touched him after the volleyball game to show him he liked him.
I guess I really enjoyed the possibility where we weren't really sure if Oliver might've been queer or not, just to be hit by a truck that he had potentially fallen for Elio first. Loved the scene of their first night and how authentically raw and awkward it was.
All the yearning and playfulness from Armie during the orange scene... ugh, chef's kiss. Definitely lots to say about all the side characters as well, but I was totally taken back by the leads.
Brokeback Mountain: Again, similar theme. Really enjoyed it when Jack Nasty asked Ennis to come inside the tent and they banged after. The tension from Ennis pulling his hand away to turning Jack around and hitting it from the back, lmao, I loved it.
Cannot forget the reunion kiss. By far the best makeout scene. Made me tear up from all the pent-up passion they had for each other.
I would rate God's Own Country pretty similarly. Going from a stranger to liking Gheorghe after learning all of his little quirks and how caring he was was so beautiful. Especially loved their dynamic. Again, the fact that neither knew if the other liked men or not, leading to the banging in the mud scene. I enjoy those intensely passionate scenes. The only thing that took me back was the random full-on frontal nudity, lmao. It wasn't bad, just unexpected.
Boys and Young Hearts are on the same tier for me. Cutesy little coming-of-age movies where they can't figure out what draws them to the other.
Shelter didn't really do it for me. I'm not sure why. I wasn't the biggest fan of the cast, and their chemistry wasn't really there for me.
Anyways, looking for more similar, stronger suggestions. Hoping to find a film that'll beat CMBYN stat.
Hello everyone 👋
I don't open reddit that much or share anything at it really, but recently I got a notification from this sub and I really wanted to share my experience since I can’t talk to anyone about this movie.
I know it's too long and most of it is about me not the movie but I hope at least one of you would read it all...
Basically I watched the movie about a year ago and I couldn't stop thinking about it ever since...
I might sound corny but I really relate to Elias in some way or another I saw my younger self in him and I'm not the kind that cry during a movie or a show but I still cried watching the move, for me it wasn't justa "tow cute boys falling in love" storyit was much more.
Since I was a teenager I always felt there was something wrong with me. That I don't belog, different than everyone around me especially when the other boys started taking about girls an me on the other hand was having feelings for other boys but of course I had to either put the straight guy mask and talk with them or when I get older I started to act that I'm religious and not engaging with the conversation at all.
And I struggled alot while growing up didn’t know who I am and was afraid of my own feelings especially when I started having a crush on one of my friends an I still have to this day but I can’t say anything to anyone since I am in the middle east there’s no way I would be able to say anything or to even to hint to him about that crush and for the longest time I felt like shit I was so depressed I always trued to deny it,until I saw a random edit on Instagram for Young hearts, I thought it was just a usual coming-of-age movie so I watched it. After seeing Elias fighting his feelings, denying them, And finally having the courage to come out and saying them outloud I was speechless I cried like ALOT and I realized that I'm gay no matter how I pretended not to be or how much I try to change it I'm still gay.
The movie made me accept myself, I saw my younger self in Elias and wished I was in another country were I could be myself but at the same time... accepting myself made me so much more comfortable with myself and with people around me (of course I didn’t come out to anyone but myself) I also wrote a story and kept it to myself it was just my way in coming out to myself.
And thanks to this movie I'm now able to admit it I'm gay evenif I triednot to be I still am gay
I'm so happy I could finally share this *anonymously and online only* but still it counts Ig 😅
P.s this is the first time I say it to anyone
I’m a teenager in the UK who is navigating his sexuality and I was wanting to watch some LGBTQ films. The reviews for this one are excellent and based on the synopsis, it feels like the sort of story I could really connect with. Does anyone know where I can (legally) find this film?
Getting this done tomorrow, favourite quote from the film, I'll send a pic when its done for anyone that wants to see it.
