get to know me meme » hoje eu quero voltar sozinho (the way he looks)

omg!!! i’m so glad you took my rec and watched the way he looks. it’s such a heartwarming and happy film and so unlike any other queer film i’ve ever watched and i want everyone to love it as much as i do. so i’m glad you watched it because of me and enjoyed it!!

if you’re craving more content in regards to the film, you should totally watch the short film the full movie was developed from, eu não quero voltar sozinho (translates to ‘i don’t want to go back alone’). it’s basically the same story, but on a 15 minute scale. same actors! less side stories and b plots. it’s a much simpler story, which the way he looks was adapted from by stretching out the plot and adding more side stories and changing a few minor plot points. i really recommend it if you’re just craving that little bit more content from the way he looks.

here’s a link to eu não quero voltar sozinho: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Wav5KjBHbI 

it’s the official video, and has automatic and accurate subtitles that the channel put on there, in multiple different languages. it’s really good and adorable, and you get to see the roots of the way he looks. since you loved the way he looks, i 100% recommend checking out the short film version.

I honestly can’t stop reblogging EVERYTHING IN THE TAG for The Way He Looks. It’s such a good film, free of all those pesky Gay Film Clichés™. BUT it’s especially delightful because it does have some clichés normally found in straight coming of age stories, but they just seem so much more fresh and new and full of warmth and heart, maybe just because it’s put through the lens of an LGBT film, or maybe just because the film is just really well made. And it’s also just so nice to look at!! The cinematography is beautiful and I LOVE the film’s general aesthetics, and plus all the actors are gorgeous as FUCK. It’s well written, well acted, well produced, and is honestly one of the cutest, happiest gay films I’ve seen in a long time. And it doesn’t devalue Leo’s platonic friendship with Gi, as well! Romance and important platonic bonds! Fuck! I love this movie so much! This may be my favorite queer film of All Time.

I actually watched the short film version, Eu Não Quero Voltar Sozinho (I Don’t Want To Go Back Alone) years ago, and late last night I was browsing the Gay & Lesbian section on Netflix looking for SOMETHING, ANYTHING, that was a happy gay film, I saw that The Way He Looks was there, and that short film came back to my memory, and I immediately watched the film, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since then. It’s just so good! It won’t leave my brain! I’m gonna go watch it again.
