What Elio doesn’t see - Part 2
Isn’t this exactly what Elio sees, though? Because we see Oliver from the POV of Elio’s window. I thought that’s what Elio sees, hence being inspired to do what he does. 😚
Also, I thought that this whole sequence is almost like a joke in itself, because Elio is at this stage still looking at Oliver, as an object of desire (literally, in this scene). And then suddenly Oliver is not just this object to be gazed at and desired, he’s actually there, in the room, as a real flesh-and-blood person. He’s not just a distant object of fantasy, he’s there for real, embarrassingly enough for Elio. So these scenes could be interpreted as an ironic comment on the fact that the people we desire as distant objects are actually also real people. Who we would be very embarrassed to see us treating them just like objects of desire. Elio’s embarrassment is in this sense similar to when fanfic writers not necessarily want the actors they’re writing about to read their stories.
Hey, actually no, Elio is on his bed the entire time, not looking out the window. I cut out the parts where we see Elio in the bed that are at the same time as when Oliver is outside. But your interpretation of why Luca uses the camera angle like that is spot-on: we and Elio see Oliver only from a distance for the beginning part of the movie. Not literally, of course. Elio is up close with him several times (volleyball scene; losing his balance on his bike and falling into Oliver). But he does, of course, actively look at Oliver from afar a bunch of times, including the very first time he sees Oliver. And when he IS close to him physically, he is confused by the way Oliver acts. Oliver is “distant” from him even when up close. But in terms of the literal set-up for this scene, no Elio is not looking at him from the window. He may as well be, since he is obviously fantasizing about him. And I believe that is why Luca has Armie do something so non-chalantly sexy as wiping his torso off of sweat with Billowy. We are experiencing that distant visual of sexiness just like Elio is in his own fantasy, if you will. BTW I love your interpretation of how Oliver is a real person, flesh and blood, and not just a fantasy, and how this scene shows that in a funny, embarrassing way for Elio. He maybe doesn’t need to just act on a fantasy but experience spending time with Oliver, who clearly wants to spend time with him. And maybe it will lead somewhere. ❤️

“Want to know what I call him?” Saoirse Ronan asked, pointing at Timothée Chalamet, who had just joined us at the table and was shrugging off his coat. “Pony,” the actress said, “Because he’ll come up to Greta and me and nuzzle us.” And as if on cue, Mr. Chalamet lowered his head like a baby foal and nestled it gently beneath Ms. Ronan’s jaw.

This is what killed me that night. Honestly. I’ve never seen anyone look so lovestruck in my whole damn life. Amazing.
