What Kind Of Heroism Did We Do In Our Past Lives? Because We Really Don't Deserve Oakes Fegley As Theo.

I appreciate how dedicate Finn stans are but seriously, there's nothing wrong if you watch the movie because he is in it and there's also nothing wrong if you're not interested in the book, but please.

I understand how much you like him and how proud are you of him, he's such a great young actor with a great future.

But in the trailers' comment section I only see

"OMG FINN", "WAIT, IS FINN GAY?", "IS FINN KISSING A BOY?"

Yes, fellow people, he's kissing a boy, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT OF THE MOVIE/BOOK. You see, there's like 1 minute of video (or more, depending the trailer) of this tiny boy with glasses who is suffering because he's tormented after his mother's death and because he stole a painting which means a lot to him.

but yeah who cares about Theo right? He isn't the protagonist or something

I have one emotion and it’s called the goldfinch

Bitches be out there crying because of a painting. It's me, I'm bitches.

In Ch. 1, when Ben kisses Bev after she sees the deadlights, everyone (except for Bill) sees that moment. After that, Bev wakes up.

So WHaT IF, when Richie wakes up from seeing the deadlights, and sees Eddie (who is the only one close to him), He immediately thought he just kissed him??

Andy and me dancing on Mrs. Barbour's expensive carpet while Theo is crying in Platt's bedroom.

Flora and Miles are dark academia kids. Sorry, but I don't make the rules.

It's basically 1 Am, and I'm laying on my bed, sobbing and thinking, damn, I still love Theo Decker with my whole soul.

and straight.

you guys are just mean

I hope I'm not the only one who is in love with the goldfinch's cast, I couldn't ask for any other better group of actors. Everyone I just so on point. I have to admit that (physically of course) I thought about some characters in different ways, for example, Hobie, but I don't have any complains, so I want to get my fangirl mode on:

Talking about Hobie: that man, Jeffrey, brings such an innocent and caring touch, just like the Hobie we know from the books, it's just too pure :(♡

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT NICOLE KIDMAN. Yes, THAT WOMAN IS ALL I EVER DREAMED OF MRS. BARBOUR OMG. She seems like a mature person and also looks gorgeous, she's Mrs. Barbour and I'm PROUD

My baby!, the precious!, Ashleigh Cummings!, as Pippa! OMg. Her performance on NOS4A2 is amazing, you should see it! It's an interesting but underrated show :( she plays Vic (the protagonist) AND SHE'S SO BADASS, but in tgf she's just a beautiful softie like my bby Pippa, I think she's going to do it amazingly :')

Talking about Pippa, I have to give a shoutout to Aimee Laurence! Unfortunately, I haven't seen a lot of her, but physically, I think she's great, I don't know if any of you remember, but when Theo sees for the first time Pippa at the museum, he obviously describes her. He says that yes, she's pretty, but there's something in her, the shape of her face, her eyes, the case she has... Of course he makes himself a lot of questions and Yaya... But I think that Aimee seems great, she has an interesting vibe and in the trailer the way they portray the shape of her face.. stunning.

Do I really have to talk about Finn Wolfhard? We know he's going to kill it, he's amazing, he is the young Boris we all could have imagined and he really seems to be into his role, he talked about how this was actually the first time he had to look for accents, and how to portrait a personality like Boris', I think he'll do great.

My sweetie pie ANEURIN I love him so much I don't- I don't even have to explain, I mean, didn't we all were like OMGDMIDHS when we first saw him talk in the last trailer? his other's roles were amazing and he's gonna come to slay in front of our faces. We don't deserve this man, we don't, I love him bye.

And, of course, my beloved Theo. I really really really love Theo, with all my heart, he's one of the most important things in my life (but we'll talk about it later, don't worry) and I only ask them to do him justice (and the movie). But Oakes???? This??? Really??

Just kidding, if you think I'm going to complain about my boy Oakes then you're wrong, VERY WRONG. At first, I was captivated by him, the way he looked in those clothes, I have so many expectations on him, He's the perfect guy for young Theo, I can't even try to think of any other young actor to be young Theo, he was the chosen one, and it's so disappointing to see a lot of people complaining because their favourite actor didn't get the role. I'm excited, I'm looking forward this kid Fegley to be Theo, He is the boy.

Ansel Elgort.. I saw a few people complaining at him because he didn't look like what they were expecting, but I think he's great, I know he's a good actor and Ansel and Oakes are pretty similar, even the Ansel himself said that he thinks they have a similar vibe and he can truly believe they both are the same person. I remember showing a friend them, and she was agreeing to similarity they have.

And besides that, Ansel also seems good (more than good) as an adult Theo!

Also, Nicky Torchia as Tom Cable, that's it.

Of course there are more actors and characters, but I needed to talk about them (Sarah as Paula?? SHE'S BEAUTIFUL I MEAN-) (and Ryan as Andy is so uwu). This cast, has my whole heart.

But what about you guys? What are your thoughts? I would like to read them, if annoying.

y’all talk abt ‘boreo’ for literal years but not the fact that the book itself, Theo recounting his entire life in 784 pages, is a letter to the reader about how the love of art can be felt through the fabric of time and is the only thing that truly lives on forever??? can’t relate
