The script of this movie is embarrassing and makes me speechless. It is empty and tasteless in the shaping of the heart, and the emotional line is complicated but there is no causal relationship. School bullying is very real. If domestic education is more like a straight line, there will be progress and troubles at every stage of primary school, junior high school, high school, and university. The moment of graduating from high school abroad is a sharp turning point. Before and after this, it is more like two lives. It can be said that it is a finalization period. Those who should be in the society must be familiar with the streets, and those who should work should start. It's time to read hard.
Taking North America as an example, university tuition is extremely high (international students are three times as much as locals, so locals still complain that they are too expensive), and books are also expensive, about a few thousand per semester. A friend of mine does not sponsor him because his parents are ordinary people. In order to go to college, he took out a lot of education loans. It is estimated that after graduation, he will have to pay it back for a few years, not to mention the car and house. In college, everyone worked hard to study, only slept a few hours a day to catch up with due, and might be kicked out of the major at any time because of gpa. This leads to the life theme of the university is to choose two out of three, study, socialize, and sleep. The middle and high schools abroad are really very, very mentally handicapped. How easy it is to get there, unlimited sports, cultural and artistic time (which is also the envy of some domestic parents), are actually the deepest traps of capitalism, because schools and teachers are in middle schools. It is not at all intended to make you a learning material. Everyone plays rugby well, has many cool friends, and is gregarious as the greatest achievements in life. Shame on any minority, bully disabled, bully LGBT, bully fat girls, bully Asians who can only learn. It is precisely because of high taxes and high benefits that people who go out to work in high school will not starve to death, which solidifies these people's views on the education of the next generation: "University is expensive and useless, it is a fraud."
In such an environment, coming out is not only unsafe, but also very dangerous. Not every foreign family is the middle-class family of Simon in the movie, with a three-story House with eight parking spaces, and not everyone can accept homosexuality. Every teacher cares about the mental health of students. Bullying and discrimination by foreigners are very deadly. Discrimination in China is indifference and silence. Foreign countries are entertainment that tear open wounds. The more you suffer, the happier they are.
The story the director wanted to write was a utopian story, where everyone would applaud you for coming out and cheering for you waiting on a Ferris wheel for someone you haven't seen before. I don't know whether to say that the director is still innocent or has a deep scheming, and it is aimed at high school students. Because the little girls next to me laughed hahaha. Maybe the movie is not bad, but I am not the target group. I said the movie was not grounded. A friend next to me asked me, if you come out of the closet, if your friend keeps away from you, what will you do if the school bullies you. I said casually, I have already come to the age where the value needs to be recognized by the people around me, and I have no obsessive-compulsive disorder for everyone to accept me. The real life is that everyone is very busy. If you want to make friends, you can make them. If you have any opinions, you can leave. How simple. Some people have many friends, some have few friends. You can lower your standards to expand your circle of friends, or you can maintain your absolute thinking ability and high standards to be alone.
This is a movie that seems to promote multiculturalism and tolerance. Actually full of childish Stereotypes. "Everyone is living for the first time, there is no right or wrong."
