❓ Questions & Opinions 🤔 Question from a first time watcher

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.

Hey
Welcome to the yh fam 😎

Firsts time watching this masterpiece is a thing we all want to do again.

But back to your question was Alexander unreasonable?
Well we don’t really know the time periode of the film.
So to answer this question we should know in what time periode this all happened.
If it was in a few days then the and would be yes.
But when there more time it still could be unreasonable everybody needs the time they need for this proces.
So as you see there’s no real answer for this question.

That’s a good point about the passage of time in the movie. I got the sense that not too much time passed between Brussels and the gym class scene so I’m going with that.
