After all the calls came out, Simon finally has support!
Audiences who are envious and jealous of Hong Kong and Taiwan, who have already been released in Taiwan, can take a break. This is probably one of the most watched "queer movies" in 2018. In the future, there will be "Like, Kiss, Run", "Smear Life", "Erased Boy" and Xavier Dolan. The director's new work "The Death and Life of John Donovan" is waiting for the audience.
To be sure, none of these works will be released in China.
In view of the fact that Fu Fu has already contracted LGBT movies, let's not talk about queer theory this time, let's talk about something else.
Starting from "Please Call by Your Name", there have been many questions from the general public that queer movies must amplify the same-sex plot. "Song of the Same Ship" opens with a passionate drama that lasts more than 20 minutes. The dew point of the group is extremely diverse, even though it is essentially a sweet love drama.
Looking back on "The Stranger by the Lake" (it is very yellow) a long time ago , it is called "Walking the Birds " for short. The scale seems to be looking at a certain V, which makes people dumbfounded and even physically uncomfortable.
On the other hand, well-known lesbian movies such as "Adele's Life" and "Miss" also have a lot of love scenes.
In the old days of same-sex movies, there are many passion dramas that you and I know.
Even the "Call Me by Your Name", which is considered to be innovative, has a few paragraphs ahhhhhh. Over time, many viewers seem to associate queer movies with some kind of V.
The fact is not like this at all, hello!
You should know that "Please call me by your name" just came out of cooked meat. A large part of the reason for the increase in the number of viewers and the decline is that some people dislike it as too pure love. Although the director replaced it with sulky peaches and touches, it did not. Satisfy the audience who went to the scene where Sweet Tea and Oliver's beautiful flesh collided fiercely.
Alas, you people. . .
But with a greater probability, people seem to be aware of this cryptic and innocent expression, just as they agree with the idea of removing the same-sex label from queer movies at that time. Although this argument is still open for discussion, will the world be better because of differences soon? The sameness advocated by the Great Harmony of the World also refers to this kind of harmony and difference to accommodate everything. In fact, no matter the opposite sex or the same sex or dual sex, they all exist the same.
"Love You, Simon" made a very cute attempt.
During this year’s Oscars season, the youth movie "Miss Bird" shined, the lady bird was emotionally bumpy, the first deep cabinet, the second premature ejaculation, the moment Miss Bird met her boyfriend and a male friend kissing in the bathroom, I believe Many viewers uttered a "fuck" in their hearts.
This fuck may not be aimed at the boyfriend’s sexuality, but his deception and concealment, but as a first impression, from the perspective of Miss Bird, will there be a moment for complaining about homosexuality?
This is a very subtle characterization.
Then things must start from another dimension and perspective. "Miss Bird" becomes "Mr. Bird", which is the story of "Love You Simon".
Senior high school student Simon has a happy and happy family. His father is a straight steel man and his mother is a clinical physician. The two are always showing affection. His younger sister is a loli who loves dark cooking. She is a typical "American". "Dream" middle-class family structure.
Simon is very popular and has several friends, such as Omelia, good buddy Mark, and Abby, who joined the trio six months ago.
The main line of the whole movie revolves around the deep cabinet boy, Simon, online dating, the unfamiliar boy from the same school. Boy Bru is a bunch of straight guys at first glance. It looks very gay. Anyway, I don’t know if it’s gay. To be disturbed by a few sabotage male protagonists looking for true love and bravely derailing as their supporting role.
Very American youth movie configuration.
Comparing American youth movies such as "The Edge of Growth", "Miss Bird", and "The Wallflower Boy", in fact, the essence is all about youth growth, friendship, family and other elements.
The same goes for "Love You Simon".
Even if my mother says "I know you have a secret." But do you really care what the secret is? Gay? Very strange? Not really.
The frustration encountered in the second half of Simon's film did not come from his advertised homosexuality, but was caused by some immature teenage decisions, which had little to do with whether he was gay or not.
To be honest, the director put on the stage his determination to weaken the homosexual label. This is a typical American youth film that combines the sweet and pure love of "Please call me by your name". It has nothing to do with the same sex. It is about the true appearance of love. Here you must manually like the translated name from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Love You, Simon" on the surface is a large "looking for blue" easter egg, and the easter eggs hidden by the director are also obvious. The smoke-exhausting program of the school troupe is also the gay film series "Song Hall" that has been promoted before.

However, "Love You Simon" is obviously not as complicated as "King Hall". Since it was produced by Fox, one of the six major studios, its commercial nature is undoubtedly revealed. This is also Hollywood's determination to transform same-sex movies into the masses.
Just as Cai Kangyong said, "We are not monsters", queer movies are not a special genre. Like other songs and dances, love, horror, and comedies, they give audiences a unique sense of beauty and pleasure.
The youngsters’ stories about friendship and love, the sincere care for the same-sex group and the cute and playful jokes, who doesn’t like it? Regarding the last moments of Christmas, maybe let everyone's Christmas must-see film list add new members.
When you see Simon reaping true love, I believe the same expression below will appear on your face.
And this is all because of love.
· THE END· This is the 641st issue of "Not scattered" , it's too sweet!
