Love, Siomn

The first five minutes have allowed me to set a four-star tone for him, the picture is very comfortable and the narrative is not boring. After playing it for nearly an hour, it was a four-star level in my heart, until Simon's secret was pierced, and the foreshadowing made before suddenly had a breakthrough, and the multi-line parallel emotional lines were collectively advanced here.

The family line is a collective outbreak of small conflicts that have been hidden for many years. The friendship line is the betrayal and deception exposed here. The love line is the underground romance that was exposed and forced to accept public review. In this outbreak, multiple emotional lines centered on Simon Much clearer.

The plot developed here, and finally told the audience: We don't care whether Simon is gay or not, the important thing is whether you are or not.

When forced to destroy the friendship of their friends, Simon has already jumped out of the identity of their Friends, and has become a betrayal of this small group. By deceiving and hurting friends, to maintain a lie, this is not their Simon.

When avoiding contact and communication with his parents and sister, Simon is also different from the son and brother they know. He is using a closed self to protect himself from being hurt by his family, but he is also hurting own family.

In terms of romance, the lover who left because of exposure gave Simon a bigger blow, made him feel guilty and sad, and also made the audience's curiosity about Blue to a higher level.

It's also the climax of this multi-line twist that makes me think this movie deserves five stars.

Friends will not leave you because you like men or women, as long as you are still sincere to me; family members will not be separated from you because of your sexuality, but will only feel guilty for not taking good care of you; and they are destined to be with you. The people who are with you will definitely come to your side against all odds.

Love, Simon.

    Simon inspired me, even if I am LGBT, even if it is a movie I don't like in a campus youth idol drama made by a great American emperor, I have to say bravely: I don't like it / I'm serious, not only the story is a slot, the work itself is also very mediocre in terms of photography and art Ah, this work makes people understand that lady bird also has merit before being nominated.

    Presumably because it was going to be released in mainstream theaters, the story was too safe and correct, in other words, vulgar. Some of the male protagonist's behavior is really annoying, and the characters in it are also full of all kinds of American fakes. However, this film does have its social significance, and it can be regarded as a qualified youth film in itself.

  • Ms. Albright: Don't "Hey, Ms. Albright" me. We're not friends. You're not going to braid my hair or paint my nails. Get your ass off the table now, you sweaty, hormonal virgins. You know what? You're about to be suspended for so long that by the time it's over, you're going to be the fat, bald, unhappily married, wildly mediocre nobodies you're destined to become.

    Spencer: You can't talk to us like that.

    Ms. Albright: Actually I can, 'cuz I just did. And you know why? Because you're just those two assholes who did that shitty thing in front of the whole school. And guess what? Nobody feels sorry for those assholes, especially me. Now walk. Mr. Worth's office. Now.
