Is it premier access (meaning extra fee) or available with standard D+ subscription?

Pretty good. It seemed kinda gay. Was that intentional?

Saw someone online refer to this as "Calamari by Your Name" and I could not stop laughing. Even though I haven't seen it yet, but get the (apparently somewhat gay) gist.

Do you mean gay like happy? Homosexual? Or like in the 90's when gay meant dumb? Asking for a friend.

Meh, I really didn't see it as gay. It's your basic "be comfortable with who you are/acceptance" storyline that's been done a million times before, but because it's 2021, people want to label it as gay. Gay people want to label it as gay so they can claim it as their own. Others want to claim it as gay so they can continue to bash Disney and Hollywood. As far as the movie goes,I thought it was okay, if not boring. It felt like a run of the mill Pixar movie that I'll likely never watch again.

I think the thing going on here is that there was another recent movie which was a coming of age story about a couple young guys set in Italy.

I enjoyed it, felt very heartfelt and honest to me.

One thing that was a nice change is that this feels like a more intimate film than most big studio animation, very closely follows a couple main characters in a pretty small setting without any a bunch of big set piece type action sequences. Not that there isn't a place for those, just seemed like a nice change of pace.

This is why Ratatouille is the greatest Pixar movie of all time.

I was just reading tweets on the twitter search "Luca gay"

the gay community seems to really want this to have been a gay movie.

I honestly didnt even consider that at all until I saw it on this thread.

seemed like best friends.

While I think the gay parallels are hugely obvious, especially in the second half of the movie, I think it's subtle enough that kids would probably never notice.

I think it's there for those that are old enough to understand it, but it also speaks to just being different in general, not necessarily gay.

Either way, I thought it was a fairly solid movie, but not top tier Pixar. But that's a pretty gd hard list to crack, to be fair.

I cant think of one scene that makes them gay at all unless you really want to see it that way

I think you're misreading here.

No one is saying they were gay in the film, but that there's some parallels in the ideas of acceptance, etc.

SURELY the title is a reference to the Godfather right? It's too much of a coincidence to not be.

not misreading. Agree for sure the idea of acceptance was evident. think it was basically the point of the movie, and I love that. had a good discussion with my 4 year old about that after the movie.

but in no way did I think it meant specifically for gays. like I said, it can be for gays but you would have to really want it to be for that.

No one is saying it's meant specifically for gays, and your earlier comments seemed to be discussing whether they were gay or not and looking at their relationship in the film. I don't see anyone here saying that.

The parallels to coming out seem kind of obvious to me, but the general message of acceptance is certainly a positive one as well.

Agree with all those saying they couldn't find anything specifically gay about the characters.was never obvious to me at any point and was just about acceptance in general.and it was an average flick.Luca was like a watered down Miguel from Coco and Alberto was pretty annoying..but the "villain" was probably the most irritating.

Personally my favorite character/relationship was the one-armed dad and his little girl

Not terriblebut probably will never watch again

They're all over the place in Italy. Of all the places I've been on this planet, there are very few things I've done more nerve racking than driving in Italy. Having a scooter is much easier to get around.

Didn't get a gay vibe at all. Didn't really care for it. Animation was good
