tom ford held my delicate heart in his hands and crushed it to dust and now i will never be whole again
the hue change when colin firth makes human interaction....... tom ford owns this ass
This bittersweet film gets another star on a rewatch. It's Colin Firth's best performance in years as stuffy professor George Falconer ('it takes a long time to become George'), who suddenly finds himself bereaved by the sudden death of his partner Jim in a car accident, and finds it difficult to cope until he decides he needs to make a momentous decision.
This being the 1960s he cannot talk openly about it, or even grieve, nor can he seek a leave of absence from his job, or even be allowed to mourn his loss at the funeral ('It's family only', says the cousin who calls him to break the news, without Jim's parents knowing). The scene where Firth has to…
"Do you wanna buy me a drink?"
"I think I'm taken."
i will forever be mad that colin didn't win the oscar for this. even the smallest details of his performance hit me right in the heart and make this movie the absolute most affecting thing i've ever seen, even after losing count of how many times i've seen it... i love gays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

people suffering from depression are known to have their visual perspective impacted, such that they may see the world as flat or monochrome with muted colors. it’s brilliant that tom ford uses this fact to engage the audience on a deeper insight in george falconer’s subconscious — presenting him in a dull illustration while often saturating these colors in the presence of hope.
With a leading man giving a career defining performance, Tom Ford's stylish and somewhat tweaked adaptation of Isherwood's novel is turned into a bitter sweet rumination on love, life and death.
It is astonishing what Ford and his team do with colour. Colours have a life of their own here, going from muted tones to fully vibrant in a heartbeat. They add a certain dreamlike texture to the story, which is a superb addition as what we are watching is basically a waking dream of a protagonist struggling with a tragic loss.
A big difference with Isherwood's novel as that in the novel we are met with a protagonist trying to reconnect with life, whereas in the film he's trying…
