there's such an innocence to when adam and harry kiss for the first time in all of us strangers: as much as harry is quite forward and directly asks if he can kiss him, they're very slow and careful about it. bit by bit they move their bodies closer as they hold each other's gaze and smile just so incredibly sweetly. adam feels shy about it because it's been a long time since he's kissed anyone and even with harry's nature and forwardness even he seems careful. they want to be careful with the moment and the energy between them, as any moment of connection like this can be fleeting and fragile and gone before you know it. adam forgets how to breathe, his mind must be running a mile a minute. and once they give themselves to each other after their first kiss they just let go, let themselves be only present in each other

#idk thoughts because what a sceeeeeeeene #the way andrew haigh directs relationships and the chemistry and the unspoken energy in a scene is magical #like it is so different in 45 years obviously but like there are so many moments in that film that are also very silent and the air is just #THICK with the feelings and thoughts of both characters.#all of us strangers has a lot of that in so many scenes as well.#there are a lot of more silent or slow scenes where the connection and feelings and thoughts are just palpable #its like a third character #a ghost that you can feel the presence of so clearly even if younever see it #and of course that says so much about the performances in it as well #like andrew and paul play this scene so beautifully and they hold that innocence and the palpable energy so well #they move just slow enough so its not dragged out but it doesnt cut the tension too early #they hold that tension and stretch it so well so when they first kiss it isnt entirely broken #and then as they let go you as the viewer also let go #god i LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!! i love andrew haigh and andrew scott and paul mescal #all of us strangers
