Okay so I don’t have much time, but the thing for me about this scene is how vulnerable Louis looks, we’ve known forever how he felt nervous on stage, the lack of confidence, but actually watching it on their last performance is a whole different thing, especially because of how open he is about it. And that’s my general perception of the whole film, by the way, he looks so young when he’s vulnerable like that in those moments with Helene, but at the same the way he deals with it is incredibly mature. It’s obviously a film about Louis, so it’s from his perspective, but I find it so interesting the contrast with Harry, looking anything but vulnerable in this one scene in the bathroom, he has his walls up taking his big frowning face to a whole new level, very aware of the camera. But he kept looking at Louis like he was the only one in the room who understands how nervous he is, and that’s where we see he was vulnerable as well, somehow looking even MORE nervous and broken than Louis. And fuck…. then he hugs Louis like it’s nothing?! It’s not a big meaningful hug after their performance, which is not what was expecting AT ALL, it’s *before* their performance and there was literally no reason for him to hug Louis at that moment besides pure comfort. For both of them and just for half a second like they fucking do it all the time, just because he was leaving him alone with Helene for 10 minutes, just because they were too nervous. The lack of meaningfulness makes it SO intimate, not sure if they even realised they were hugging each other there?! And then they go up on stage and they’re the only ones who didn’t hug, but the first thing they do is look at each other and Louis does a huge relief face 😮‍💨 at Harry. And the contrast between how they act on stage compared to behind the scenes is massive, but it’s still so consistent, because there isn’t the physical reinforcement but there’s so much comfort in the way they look at each other.
