imaginary coming out

Full of embarrassment and inconceivable.

This coming out story tells us how difficult and stressful it is to come out of the closet in high school. In the end, the male protagonist carefully concealed himself. After hurting his best friend and his sister who cared about him, he won his friend's forgiveness lightly. , the support of the family, the understanding of the whole school. Such a contradictory plot trend makes me suspect that the resistances I see are actually just imaginary bubbles, and they will shatter at a touch without causing any harm.

The plot of the whole movie reveals a kind of childishness and exaggeration for granted. I can't see the meaning of the male protagonist's struggle because he does not want to come out. Enlightened parents, sincere friends, he said he wanted to come out of the closet in college, why? Do you think you can change to a new environment and be yourself? He said he was never ashamed of being gay, so why was he so indifferent after seeing Ethan's courage, that he was brave enough to come out with his friends just because he had written a few confession letters with his pen pal?

I think I watched an imaginary movie, imagining the difficulty, imagining the understanding, and imagining the pain of coming out of the closet.

    It’s the first time I saw a gay movie with such a steely straight masculine temperament. The coming out is actually the same as the routine of the heterosexual girl, Mary Su. The protagonist Simon is the perfect gay boy in the mainstream eyes and has a perfect family. He has a perfect life. There is no pain in his body. Every character around him is labeled as politically correct. The screenwriter also takes every step carefully. The ultimate goal of everything is to sweeten you to death.

    3.5 VERY VERY TEEN as LGBTQ themed fresh as a movie...ordinary. Compared with the novel, there are many changes, not to say that the changes are not good, but that the changes are not very good... The friendship and romance of the 4-member group are uncomfortable to change... Even the friends have become a little unlovable. BLUE's identity guessing process is relatively good but subtle. Cal is so cute. Simon's family liked their house a little after saving a little, but I still miss my sister's disappearance.

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: 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?
