I haven't watched youth movies for a long time, especially the love stories of high school students' youth and ignorance. The overall feeling is still good, I like some of the small details of the film - Blue's design, the change of the lens, the search for Blue throughout, etc. It is generally worth watching.
But I still want to complain a bit. Everyone may like friends to let go of their past suspicions, and what Simon did to his friends is really not too much. But he obviously had so many opportunities to confess to his friends, especially when he came out with a transfer girl, what a great opportunity, I even thought he would tell the girl that he was blackmailed after he came out, but he didn't... All I can say is that he can actually avoid breaking up friendships, instead of arranging his friends' emotional activities because of a blackmail.
There is one more thing I want to say, Blue changed several boys from beginning to end, and finally changed to the original black little brother. When I changed into adolescence, I might have eaten this set of things. Looking back, I met you, and it was you who went around. But now, I feel that Simon is not as "love" as he claims to be. After all, love is a big word. When he was young, he had crushes on many boys, and his pen pals were just pen pals. He could imagine any boy he wanted to be Blue - in fact, he did - which made Blue lose some of its speciality. So maybe in the end anyone can be Blue, and Simon can also fall in love with any Blue. It is precisely because of this that the kiss on the Ferris wheel did not make me feel very moved or excited, but the solidarity of the people below made me cry.
In the end, Love Simon reminded me once again that sexuality is so irrelevant, and while watching the movie, I wondered again and again why people are so disdainful of homosexuals, when in fact being human is really not any different. When Simon came out and searched "how to dress like gay" in the search bar and tried on various polo shirts, I really wanted to tell him "Be yourself! Don't be framed by definitions", but luckily he did of himself.
People are always framed by the mainstream - most people are heterosexual, so the LGBT community is not tolerated by people. And replaced by Simon, who was publicly out of the closet, he is also subconsciously pursuing the mainstream - how to be gay in the eyes of most people. When exactly can mainstream appear not as a definition, but as an option? When will human beings learn to tolerate and respect equal treatment, not discriminate, not pay attention, not ridicule, and do not need to make LGBT politically correct - just treat anyone as an ordinary person.
