Elio is Mama’s Boy

One of the things that strike me in the CMBYN movie as being a little bit different, yet somehow still quite substantial, is the subtle knowing and influence of Annella Perlman towards Elio’s and Oliver’s blossoming relationship.

Here ini the first meeting between Elio and Oliver, we first get a glimpse of their handshake from mrs. Perlman’s point of view.

And then there are the small knowing looks that Annella gives off during certain scenes like she knows exactly that her son is smitten with Oliver. Including thev”look” she gave during the morning after scene.

Annella Perlman also subtly in her own way, convinces Elio to pursue his feelings for Oliver. Noted during to speak or to die”, telling Elio that Oliver likes him too and suggesting that Elio goes with Oliver to Bergamo.

Many people remarked on Elio’s much coveted father-son relationship with prof. Perlman. However, during the entire movie we can just how much Elio also loves and adores his mother.

A crucial change during the goodbye scene that is not in the book, but tore me up so much more (yes, motherly hormones) is the fact that when his whole world came crumbling down…the one person he turned to for support and confort…is his mother. And Annella Perlman delivered, in her own quiet dignified way.

Lastly, when every single one of us was reduced ta sobbing mess…crying alongside Elio during the end credit scene, one voice managed to pull him back from the brink of despair…telling him with just one word that “we are here…I am here for you”…that soft gentle voice calling with love, “Elio”.

Now I may be wrong about this, but I think this was deliberately done by Luca. Remembering the story of how he turned down people who wanted to finance the movie because they wanted the mother to be the antagonistic character, in the end Luca and/or James did the opposite and turned the mother into a hero in her own way. ❤️❤️❤️

Armie: So we start making out, and then we’re making out, and we’re making out, and we’re making out, and we’re making out. It goes on for a long time, and I remember we kinda stop and we look, and Luca has just left. He just left us making out on the grass. That was our only rehearsal for the film.
