"There were two major things that I thought made the movie better (no, I'm not going to say Timothée Chalamet and Armie Hammer, even though they were both amazing). I thought the shift from Elio's perspective in the book to a third-person perspective in the movie made the story more well rounded and accessible. I also thought that, in the movie, you had three main characters — Elio, Oliver, and Italy. The dreamy atmosphere of the Italian countryside made the whole love story feel so otherworldly and wonderful. The whole book pretty much takes place in Elio's head, but in the movie, the story sprawls across this amazing storybook backdrop. It was incredible."
