Try hard to be adorable but cannot reach it

I watched it in my sophomore year with my friend. To be honest, we went to cinema because we heard the keyword "GAY" of this film. Both of us are gay supporters, so we were curious to see what they would propagate this kind of sensible topic. Turned out it a dissappointment to me? The way director tell story bores me. Everything is too easy to accept. - The first scene I think director boosts Simon too much is the reaction of everyone when Simon is let out the secret that he is gay. People seem to accept that fact too fast to be real in the real life. Only one guy come and tease Simon but he is taken to supervisor room. However, we should have a look to another gay guy in Simon's class . He is fucking teased and bullied for 2 years?, without any teachers stand for him and take those trash to supervisors'room to have a serious talk like in Simon's circumstance. - The second ridiculous scene is when Simon tells his parents that he is gay. His parents just shock for a few days and that's all ?????. What the hell the plot writter and director think of? Even in the Eastern countries, this gay issue is still not an open-minded topic, believe me, never. They cut one of the most precious details in novel, that is the conversation between Simon and his mom after he comes out. She asks if Simon know about what is differences of sex and gender, how can Simon know he is gay, how long it has been. Many many questions that a normal mom will definitely ask in this situation, but I have no idea why they don't put these details in the movie. - The final scene that I think freaking stupid unneccesary is the declaration in the fair, yes, in the fair,and in front of all Simon's classmate. They all support him. OK I'm fine. Maybe I can call this situation is Heroine light's effect? ​​The only one I definitely love in the whole stupid and funny movie is Leah, close friend of Simon . She is a real angel, who has supported and loved Simon with all she has. Even at the end of the movie, when Simon tries to make up with her after a bunch of his lies, Leah still agrees to forgive Simon. Leah deserves 10 lovers?when Simon tries to make up with her after a bunch of his lies, Leah still agrees to forgive Simon.

    In the end, the focus is not on coming out, but on facing up to who you really are. The story is so beautifully shot.

    You young people are so courageous. Online dating dares to show up directly without looking at the photos. What if blue is a fat and ugly frustration?

Love, Simon quotes

  • 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.

    Ms. Albright: [Grabbing speaker] Unh-uh. That's mine now. I'm'ma sell it, get my tubes tied.
