Different same-sex themes, recommended

Chicago Film Festival. Haha, the first impression after watching it is that it turns out that the same-sex theme can still be shot like this. It's really the biggest surprise this year! American high school campus life and same-sex themes are well integrated, and the comedy part is just right. The male protagonist's description from the initial public about his fear of "coming out" to the frank release with his friends and family is quite real. Forced, but fortunately the final development is good.

The original soundtrack is also a highlight, many classic old songs haha ​​a bit like a collection of disco Divine Comedies in the 80s and 90s. Generally speaking, although it is not as beautiful and artistic as "Call Me", it is more accessible, real and interesting. The only thing that I think is the only way to reduce points is that the ending is a bit too chicken soup, and the ending is too perfect, but most of the audience may think that is better? Finally, this theme is no longer the exclusive theme of literary films. The reputation is small.

Finally, it is mentioned that the acting skills of the young actors are all online. The male protagonist needs to perform more emotional expressions, and he handles them well. A little spoiler, the male protagonist is really looking for his "blue" friend throughout the movie, hahaha! ! !

    The overall mediocre, there are a few refreshing highlights, the fantasy of dancing in LA, and the fantasy of every straight man and straight woman coming out of the closet is a bit interesting, if only the whole film could be so quirky

    The greatest significance of this film is that same-sex films finally entered the stage of commercial films. However, putting aside the issue of sexuality, it is an ordinary youth film, and the plot is also very simple and rude, even a little embarrassing and naive. I wanted to express something, but it was taken carelessly, so I'm a little disappointed. Anyway, Simon is invincible and cute!

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.

  • Simon: You... actually, uh, I did want to talk to you guys about something.

    Emily: What is it?

    Simon: [stammering] Uh, well...

    Jack: Let me guess. You got somebody pregnant. No, you're pregnant.

    Simon: Yeah.

    Jack: I knew it!

    Simon: Yeah, I'm pregnant.

    Jack: I knew it. I mean, he's got that glow about him, babe.

    Simon: No, um...

    [struggles to get the words out]

    Simon: I'm gay.

    [Emily and Jack are both quiet]

    Emily: Honey...

    Simon: And I don't want you guys to think anything different. I'm still me...

    Emily: Of course you are, Simon.

    Jack: Yeah. So you're gay. Which one of your old girlfriends turned you? Was it the one with the big eyebrow or...

    Emily: Jack.

    Nora: Jesus Christ, dad, do you ever shut the hell up?

    Jack: I'm kidding.

    Nora: It's not funny!
