I don’t remember why I taught myself not to be so melodramatic but it must have been because it was corny. Cracked cauldron on which we knock out tunes for dancing bears when we wish to conjure pity from the stars—an allusion to Hamlet.

It’s nonsense like this that makes me want to stop caring about anything as unimportant as politics and the survival of bodies and makes me only want to care about the care and crafting of souls. And I’m sure there’s something wise I don’t have about how those are the same thing.

Anyway this is why I don’t read capital-R Romantic books, and CERTAINLY not gay ones. But being a melancholy reader is really what this body is built for; all the rest of it’s side effects and contortions and duty.

Sigh. At least the ending was somewhat expected and therefore not a brutal murder of my soul.

Anyway Luca Guadagnino should go full White Boyhood/After Midnight or whatever and shoot one follow-up scene next year, another when Timothee is 32, and another when he is pushing 40.

And also next year they should shoot the whole Rome sequence, and then release a movie in 20 years that is the Rome sequence intercut with the two reunion scenes and hopefully by then I will have found somebody to hold me as I WEEP UNCONTROLLABLY THROUGHOUT.
