      Seriously suspect that someone is stepping on this film

      Two films in the same period with similar intentions. Simon’s big production is just around 8 o'clock, and this production promotion is not so powerful, but only 6.5. It's too weird! Others said in the short comment that Simon was a thousand miles away. Which eye do you see? I really want to tear it.

      I do not shy away from the fact that I like this film better than Simon. Because this one is more real. Alex's struggle also resonated even more. And this is obviously more chemical...

      My youth needs more courage

      Alex Truelove, who firmly believes that he will meet the right girl, did meet him. He has similar interests and played the invincible player of the "World" prom. He presided over the "Tik Tok" with a super high click-through rate.

      As a result, the scene of a good friend becoming a couple was staged. It's just that how to get into Alex's broken journey is very difficult.

      At this moment, Eliot appeared. They chatted about their ideals together, watched the show together, and...

      It's supposed to be natural.

      Really Like the part near the end when Alex and Claire talk in the car. Coming out is not going to be easy even today as long as people still feel the necessity to come out as gay or lesbian. Yes, it may come clear about being oneself. But gay or lesbian are people, people who have their loved ones. What if their loved ones don't think the way they do? Alex loves his girlfriend Claire as well as so many other friends and families. He's afraid of losing her as well as these so many others....

      Journey of gay teenagers

      Yesterday, a new movie "Seeing Love Is Not Strange" came out  This is a light comedy movie on the subject of the same sex for teenagers. The entertainment media described the film as "the neighbor of "Love You Simon"" because the background of both films is high school campus, the plots are both LGBT, and the directors are both married comrades. The film tells that high school student Alex originally lived a very comfortable life, with good grades, beautiful girlfriends, and many friends......

      Replace the stereotyped homosexual life in the form of a relaxed youth campus gay comedy movie

      (The two-star female protagonist and the male second in Samsung. The female protagonist is very beautiful, and the male second is very cute with a smile.)

      First of all, this trend of substituting a relaxed youth campus same-sex comedy movie for the stereotyped life’s stubborn life agrees with the trend, and draws a little closer to the audience, and makes the impression of the lgbt group more plump, and normalizes it. A good thing

      But for the whole film, the male...

      Not bad. The heroine is too much like Liu Ye's wife?...

      The chick film in the sexual confusion period is not as good as the story of loving you Simon's coming out of the closet (mainly because the plot is too cliche and the male protagonist's name is really...

      I really can't imagine why this one is not as good as Love, Simon, both in terms of laughs and character construction, it is more substantial, Elliot's provocation of alex is not explicit, and he hopes that the other party can realize and respond to the provocation how real, The second male is so good-looking, and Zach finally appeared!! Low score!...

      Insightful is really not like this, but being able to make "a man crush on a gay guy" is also a high school with Hupengouyou, and I laughed kindly. Flat and interesting, even if the theme is unsatisfactory. Gay's own answer is actually very simple. Go to the beach and you will find the answer. It really only takes a glance at what attracted you to the answer. The so-called struggle, that shame is not afraid of the environment, let alone the parents, and least afraid of discrimination. The...

    Casting process

    Netflix, the publisher of "Alex Strangelove", delegates the casting rights to the director, without any interference with the actors. The director interviewed many actors in the United States and Canada, but failed to find a suitable candidate for the actor until he interviewed Daniel Doheny in Canada. His innocent and smart personality reminded the director of himself in high school, so he decided to play the role of Daniel Doheny....

    Evaluation action

    Like the film " Love, Simon ", "Alex Strangelove" focuses the lens on high school life in the 21st century, but the film is refreshing for the audience. The high school students in the film are like real high school students. Some people smoke, drink or even abuse. They are not the "good students" who only live in the movie world in "Love, Simon". The film’s director, Craig Johnson, precisely controls the rhythm of teenage comedy...

    Movie quotes

    • Alex: I'm sorry I was such a shitty boyfriend.

      Claire: No. No, you're the best gay boyfriend a girl could have.

      [they both laugh]

      Alex: That's funny.

    • Elliot: What I don't get is... How do you know if you're like a good person?

      Alex: I feel like if you're asking yourself that question, you're probably a good person. At least you're trying.

    • Elliot: And the shitty thing is, guys like my dad, they're giving Jesus a bad name, okay? Because from all that I know, Jesus was amazing. I mean, I don't know, he helped out the poor and sick, okay, he loves you unconditionally...

      [Alex says yes with his head]

      Elliot: I just think all those kids with their WWJD wristbands need to ask themselves: What would Jesus actually do? Call me a "faggot loser"?

      Alex: Did your dad call you that?

      Elliot: It's not really worth getting into.
