i hate that this book is like. centred around the presidential election of 2020 because i’m getting closer to nov 5 2020 in the book and it’s making me insane because it’s not like they’re going to talk about destiel but THATS WHAT NOV 5 IS ABOUT

rwrb liveblog (2/2)
THIS MAN IS UNDERUSED AND IT'S A CRIME. OF INTERNATIONAL PROPORTIONS. LOOK AT HIM.
Let's continue under the cut. More spoilers and bad english ahead as I said.
I can't help but think of Heartstopper and Kit Connor's tweet about him being forced out. This is an important message and there's been a few of them wrapped in a light movie, it's good.
YES. In so many things, queer people and minorities don't get this simple right.
Have I said I'm in love with her? Look at the power move and the power stance and she's with the hottest man in this movie? I want to be her and be with her.
Unfortunately, he's not dating me. Fortunately, he's in a power couple.
They should have kept it a secret that Stephen Fry was the king, it would have made this scene SO MUCH BETTER. I WOULD HAVE GASPED.
Ah yes, the eternal question.
Okay. It's cute, I would have loved this movie when I was young. It has representation, it has queer characters and bi is not just a margin note on a hetero relationship. I understand why the fans of the book won't be happy with some changes (I've only read a part and I miss a few important things, like some characters) but overall I think it's a nice, good movie, it made me giggle and blush and scream as I do with every romantic comedy and queer people deserve the romantic comedies too, PLEASE. I had a great time watching this and I'd watch it again no doubt.

sorry i stopped liveblogging rwrb (the movie) about 30 mins in because it was just such a trainwreck i didn’t even know what to say
#something something they took out the best parts of the book + had like a $50 budget for an amazon prime film(?? baffling) + the actors all#sucked SO bad#like it just totally fell apart. nothing made sense the actor for alex was a cardboard cutout every conflict was resolved in .02 seconds etc#.txt#rwrb lb#liveblogging

I'm 2:50mins into the RWRB movie, and I'm already taking a step back and lowering my exceptions
#none of these characters are characters that I recognize#like#nora is supposed to be NYC jew (or at least that's how I read her)#and kinda callous#and phillip was in the military? So why is he played by a twink?#Bee is supposed to be punk#But they got her dressed like P Andrew's thing one and thing two#I'm going to liveblog this I think#so please block the tag#iris bitchblogs#if you don't want my rwrb movie takes lol

rwrb liveblog (1/2)
I wanted to read the book before watching the movie but I'm on chapter 6 and I need to watch Akshay Khanna now.
The first thing I wanna say... just with that Bad Reputation intro I would have been hooked, this one brought so many memories of watching early 00's movies as a young teen. BUT NOW WITH QUEER CHARACTERS. MY little bi self would have been so happy.
This is full of spoilers, btw. Oh, and full of mistakes, excuse my English.
Was being pretty a requirement for the cast?? Because I would have made this woman my entire personality if I was a teenager. Not 10 minutes in and I'm in love with her.
AKSHAY KHANNA IS SO HANDSOME I HAD TO STOP THE MOVIE TO BREATH.
"Vicky. Classic."
I don't care what people say, since the moment Taylor appears on screen I've been with a silly smile. It's the eyelashes or maybe... and sorry to the readers because I haven't finished the book, but he actually seems pretty good as Alex to me, with the confidence and the underlying stress. He's stressing Henry, too, so that's good. He's so charming!
I don't know who this is but he's so good at flirting, sir, you're making him blush! Also, dimples and I loved how he simply stared at Alex's ass when he walked away. Understandable, please continue.
*BI PANIC* also, his Spanish is not very good so it's really funny, not so much the pronunciation but the grammar, and you can't have a character whose whole identity is being divided by both his backgrounds (and family fights) make that mistake when the guy in front of them speaks Spanish, it is as simple as ask "hey, how can I make this tiny dialogue better". THAT'S what I WAS thinking as a Spanish speaker, but now seeing it as he has to represent all the Latino people that don't speak Spanish and are still Latinos but maybe feel like they are in between- I think it's cute he doesn't speak Spanish well, it makes him more real, so I'm super okay with this. Basically, he can do whatever and I'm going to be "eyelashes!!!" with dreamy eyes and forgive him. This man can sell me on gringo international agreements, great choice for the cast.
It was cute, but I've read this part already and it was so massive. I wanted more from this scene, but seeing them in bed talking was a nice domestic touch. But- It was the opportunity to show how uncool Alex can be. Pretty bird, great acting.
Oh. His heart is broken.
So we finally remembered that she was supposed to be Hermione Granger? Cool, because I've missed the % and numbers.
Is it weird if I love her and she's super cool but I also feel like they made her lack some of her biggest traits and characteristics but also- she's super cool as she is? I think she's the one that's making me separate what I've read so far from the book and the movie as too different stories because I want to appreciate Amy in all her glory in both worlds.
Totally cool, no one noticed, wow amazing books.
OMG THE LOOK HENRY GIVES ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Btw, from this point onwards I don't know what happens in the book so I will enjoy it. I need to fan myself.
They are so real for that. He didn't know he was into guys before Henry (bc he's a smart idiot, but that's not the point), but this moment is a struggle and a conversation to have and not simply knowing what to do magically... he is someone who hasn't seen gay characters in media and we learn so much about relationships in those. Nice touch. Also... I didn't need nor wanted to know that much about English boarding schools, but whatevs.
THE HAND PUSH. OMG. This was so nice, the intimacy, the importance for both. Queer stories are full of dirty, quick, painful, shameful first times, this is nice and romantic and you know what? It's lovely that the new youth can have this rep. Maybe not the best and not ideal and we can find so many buts... but this was lovely.
First: Uma Thurman is amazing, please be my president. Second: this is the part in the movie where, as a teen, I would have been 101% on his side going all "Please, mom-lady, listen to him!" but now I'm 50-50, I guess I'm getting old. Also, respect that lady, she became a president! This is still rare!
I miss the divorced parents, but I guess this is nice...
This is so nice. Coming out, even if your parents are cool with it, is always hard. And it's a nice nod to the binder.
This scene.
This whole scene.
SO important and yet, so funny too.
The football moves, that's how you impress a Latino dad.
This scene is healing so many dad-children stories. I know I'm seeing this not as someone from the USA, so it's different, but as a Latino-American person, the lack of parental (father) involvement is SO real we are full of memes. So is nice to see a dad cooking and accepting his child. Can we also talk about that green bow? lettuce or cabbage? next to Alex's head. I NEED it.
Isn't it nice when you and your partner are on the same page? Not that these two know anything about that because Alex's in the summer of their love and Henry is having a crisis over royalty affairs. I love Alex's plan of creating a crisis inside the monarchy to get back from years of colonialism.
I'm sure her dress is expensive as fuck but I NEED it, too.
So drarry coded. Also, I've been calling everyone pretty but not him and he fucking is. If Taylor has the eyelashes, Nicholas has that mole. Alex can sing Cielito lindo to him, I hope there are fanfics that mention it from now on.
The British? stealing someone else's possessions?? Unrealistic. (I'm talking about the hoodie, btw).
I giggled. C'mon, this is cute, I won't accept anyone saying it isn't.

dear GOD that was one of the most awful movies i’ve ever watched in my life. every 30 mins i was like ok wow this can’t get any worse. and then it did! again!
#the book itself wasn’t even objectively ‘good’. but the movie took that to a whole other level it literally cut out more than 50% of the#crucial plot/details and left you with an extremely watered down romcom movie adaption of a book that was pretty much a fanfiction for a#movie that was basically a gay divorce rpf about the founders of facebook#.txt#rwrb lb#liveblogging

Ok liveblogging me watching rwrb!
Henry’s face when he’s in the ruins of the cake is so babygirl
“What if I set myself on fire” idk if it was intentional, but such a clever little tie-in to one of my favorite lines from the book!
So at 18:23 Alex is leaving the story room HOLDING the strawberry costume, which implies that the BROUGHT IT WITH HIM. I love him.
Wait are Oscar and Ellen still married?? What the fuck??
Ok so is Miguel taking the place of Liam? I think that would make sense
He didn’t say cornbread knows my sins 🥲
Nora is so pretty 😩
They really glossed over his sexuality crisis like… so much
I KNEW IT about Miguel
Awh the horses’ tails are braided at the polo match
HE DIDN’T HOLD HIS HAND IN PARIS!!!! I legit gasped out loud
“I’m learning” BABYYYYY I love him so much
Oh my fucking god if Miguel sells out Alex and Henry at the DNC istg
I am in love with zahra
HE’S READING ONE LAST STOP
I relate to Alex because I, too, am a bi mess who is in love with Henry
Ope Henry has one of those fancy flip phone thingies
Why does everybody in this have Samsungs this is iPhone-phobic
Wow the royal gardens are so pretty
The I love you isn’t a big deal???
The V&A happening before they make up- I was not expecting that
Oh I LOVE them walking around the statue, they’re literally circling each other, it just looks so cool
And I was so excited by the rest of the movie that for a minute I lived in a world where the emails weren’t leaked
Oh FUCK Miguel
A WEEK?? It’s been a WEEK and they haven’t seen each other??? Oh poor babies
1:36:22 zahra is LITERALLY looking into the camera like it’s the office she is DONE with his pining
“I’ll break the sound barrier for you” ALEX. SIR.
“Homaseczual” what the fuck
Tearing up. The fucking crowd. The flags. DONT TELL ME THE ODDS.
Ok I’m sorry but WHEN would Henry have learned how to ride a bike. Like who would have taught him. I am a Henry can’t ride a bike truther.
I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THE CASEY MCQUISTON CAMEO!! I literally saw their name on the credits and had to go back and look for them
The credits song slaps so hard??? I’m literally crying
in conclusion: overall, 9/10. You’re always gonna be disappointed when you read the book first, but it was a really good movie on its own!! I’m mostly upset about how much Alex’s family dynamic was changed, but other than that it was such a fun movie with really great acting, and I loved it! Zahra is literally my babygirl (and so is henry honestly). Would recommend!!!
#It’s the public acceptance of queer people for me#That one scene in heartstopper with the pride flags in Paris GOT ME#And it’s the same with the crowd in this#rwrb movie#red white and royal blue#taylor zakhar perez#Fuck what’s the other guys name#nicholas galitzine#hah got it#rwrb

As a heads up.
As it stands I'll be liveblogging the movie when it comes out in a few hours, though I don't know how much I will actually end up commenting on. If you want to remain spoiler-free please block the tags 'rwrb spoilers' and 'rwrb lb'.
I'll also reblog edits using the 'rwrb spoilers' tag, if they give away key elements, for about a week.
Take care guys and let's have fun!
