"It's not easy."

I watched it on the day of the premiere, also on my twenty-first birthday. I read it for the second time with my school today, and bought the original book by the way.

A perfect eight.

After reading it, the mood is very complicated, it is the kind of good or bad, half-dead feeling. The good half is because the movie satisfies all the fantasies in my heart-although the journey of coming out is tortuous, but unconditionally got the support of my parents and friends, and finally found a sunny and handsome other half, perfect. The bad half is because the truth will never be the same as in the movies - the coming out process is bound to be twists and turns, and there is a high chance that your parents will not accept all your rhetoric. The first words your classmates introduce you to other people will be "Oh, he's gay." Then a group of people will make a fart-like sound. You don't just send an email and find the perfect blue, I've been looking for the gay version of facebook for two years and can't find it. How about jealousy? Because I'm 21 and I haven't even reached a third of Simon's coming out in the movie. The only thing I have in common with him is probably the same Macbook and iPhone.

I sometimes wonder, do I really have no other characteristics, so that when people introduce me they can only rack their brains to figure out that I am gay? Or do they feel that my sexuality is my greatest characteristic? After I seriously told my "close friends" that I was a boy both physically and psychologically, they kept saying "Oh, just treat XX as a girl, he's a girl." It was they who couldn't understand human language. ? I think so. The reality is so cruel, as Ethan in the movie says, it's not easy at all.

But still wanted to give it high marks because I'm a fan of this fantasy aphrodisiac. Like all fairy tales, the movie really made me feel good for two hours. I really wanted to get stuck in that world and not come out, even if I was their classmate or any bystander in it. Just don't go back to the real world.

    Correct prejudice with prejudice. The script is too childish

  • Zechariah 2022-03-23 09:02:07

    The plot is childish and silly. There are no real heart-pounding moments, no details, just a pre-set story framework, like a propositional composition. The only bright spot is that Dad is so handsome...

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!

    Jack: I'm kidding. Hey, Nora, open up your gift, please?
