Incredible

Lera 2021-12-21 08:01:04

The story of a 17-year-old senior high school graduate "coming out of the closet". Such a sensitive topic was turned into a sincere and sweet school youth comedy by Hollywood. It just launched into the mainstream commercial market in March this year, and the box office is very good (cost 17 million US dollars, the global box office has reached more than 66 million). For the millions of high school graduates of the same age who have just completed the college entrance examination, this is really incredible! Are we living in the same world?

The author is a senior TV screenwriter and producer. This is the third theater film he directed.

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.
