Homosexuality is like eating apples, heterosexuality is like eating oranges, what you like is personal freedom

"You are still you" I cried on the spot.

Gay, heterosexual, bisexual... should not be a label. Virtually anyone in the world can be free, and now the bondage comes from family, friends, society, from our connection to the world. If you cut off this connection and walk outside the world, you are truly free, but this freedom comes at the cost of loneliness. Do you want such freedom? I won't, and neither will Simon. So he chose to hide it from his family, friends and the world. This couldn't be more normal.

Later, Simon had a deeper self-identification in the chat with Xiaolan, and he gradually felt that being gay was nothing, and he could tell his friends, although he was very nervous. He could tell his family (not his intention), even though my heart was beating wildly with the tension. Simon is walking out, not cutting off freedom, but walking on the tightrope that connects him to the world.

This is the third way he sees, staying connected while remaining free. Although the tightrope was difficult to get on, it was difficult to walk, but he still walked.

At the end, the two who mocked Simon for being gay apologized. Simon still greeted his friends as usual. He was highly anticipated on the Ferris wheel, and everyone was waiting for Xiao Lan with him. Little Blue is here. The two kissed at the top of the Ferris wheel. At the end of the whole article, I slept well.

When I woke up, I suddenly remembered a gay boy who came out of the closet very early in the movie. From the beginning of the movie, the boy was harassed by the words of homophobic people. Even though he was not to be outdone, he was buried every day because of Simon's concealment. Foreshadowing. For so long, some people have been unable to accept this boy and give verbal insults. Why did Simon come to the person who insulted people and apologized. Why did everyone accept Simon and encourage Simon when Simon came. Of course, this foreshadowing may also be to hint at the difficulties that Simon will encounter in the future.

But if it's not a hint of the future, it makes me feel that Simon has a buff, and the boy who came out very early doesn't have this buff. In fact, gay people are not only good-looking or beautiful, and have excellent social skills and everything, but more of them are ordinary people. Just like in the fan circle, some people will say that they like to see handsome guys fall in love, but they do not accept real homosexuality. What kind of weird statement is this? Delayed dramas are prevalent, and CPs appear in pairs in talent shows or TV dramas, which may not bring about the hoped-for homosexual equality, but a narrower stereotype of homosexuality.

Feeling helpless.
