love yourself, love you

In the whole movie, there are actually only two episodes that made me cry uncontrollably, namely Simon's reconciliation with his mother and father after he came out of the closet. Maybe because this is what I envy the most, it doesn't matter what other people think, I just hope that the two people who love me the most can accept it. In fact, it is a very selfish idea, and the essence is to not want to lose the feeling of being loved.

Back to the discussion about the movie, the plot setting is very neat, which not only shows the thinking of the LGBT group about coming out of the closet, but also is interesting. Especially showing Simon's inner activities, it can be said to be very down-to-earth, and the director has a deep understanding of the LGBT community.

Regarding the ending, Soybean Oil has discussed a lot, but I still feel that the ending is a minus item compared to the whole drama. Some people say that the HE at the end does not conform to social reality, and some people say that queer movies do not necessarily have to be tragic, and do not necessarily have to be BE. In my opinion, it is better to jump out of the sexual orientation of the characters in the movie and consider it from the perspective of the person himself. Does it have to be a tragedy? Does it have to be a big party? I don't think it's either, what really matters is reconciling with the world and accepting the frequent disappointments and the occasional goodies.

Follow your own heart and leave no regrets, then the choice at this time is the best choice, and the experience brought by the choice itself is a unique feedback. mutual encouragement!

    Love is so good, I want to love someone, I want to be loved, I want to be trapped in a Ferris wheel with people, I want to go up and down hand in hand, I want to kiss, I want to keep the tension and romance of first love.

    It is very commercial and routine, but depoliticization is actually a good thing? Gay boys can also shout to the world I deserve a great love story on the big screen. I think my friends can stop worrying about Si coming out of the closet. The ending is a bit like forcing someone to come out, which I definitely wouldn't do. Nick Robinson is a treasure.

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.
