Hello everyone, today's protagonist is "Love You, Simon". Adapted from the novel Simon and His Coming Out Diary.
The plot is about a 17-year-old American high school student Simon, who has a long-hidden secret in his heart, he likes boys. Simon, who originally planned to leave his hometown in college, and then came out in a generous way, because of an anonymous message on the school's online message board, he began to exchange letters with the other party, and then began a journey to find his first love on campus. It's a movie that's a little sweet and a little bitter.
This movie is different from "Call Me By Your Name" and "Brokeback Mountain". It is a fresh and healthy gay love growth story, he flipped a gay exit obstacle is from the outside of this old-fashioned argument, all the problems and situations in the plot are Simon himself made, his world has not changed at all because of coming out. At first, after watching it, I thought that this movie was beautiful and a little superficial. But this movie is to be positioned in a family to watch, everyone can accept, everyone will like the movie, I can even joke that this is a gay Disney Princess series of movies, the protagonist Simon's journey is no different from the Disney Princess journey, he wants to find his prince, although he has not met this person, but he has fallen in love with him.
All the things that the protagonist Simon does in this movie, he deeply feels his immaturity, hurts the people around him, does a bunch of stupid things, and then has to cooperate with the courage and positive strength given by this movie, he is very lucky, all the people around him have shown the kindness, love and friendship between relatives and friends, which is arguably the most important and most touching place of this movie.
In "Love You, Simon", the beginning of the whole plot comes from a secret, the secret is the fuse of this teenage growth story, the reason why the secret can not be said is usually because of the discovery of their own differences, and then very afraid of saying it, others have a different eye to look at you, but these secrets also make you unique.
The protagonist's parents, they can be regarded as a pair of super perfect parents, a pair of very intimate parents, and the interaction with the children looks very beautiful. These two people also have a very wonderful rivalry with the protagonist, and it is the wish of every parent to hope that their children will live an easy life. However, adolescence is easy to be hurt by small things, and cares about the feelings of others, as if it has been suppressing something, breathless.
So I think it's definitely not just Simon, but everyone who has experienced adolescence who can understand the mood of sitting on the Ferris wheel. High and low, if you are far away, what he needs is also very simple, that is, courage (whether this courage is given to you by Liang Jingru), courage allows us to face the world, whether the world likes you or not, courage can make us face ourselves, let us go to the people we like or the places we like.
Although the plot is very mediocre, and the personality of the protagonist is a little rigid and empty, the whole movie has a pleasant infectious force.
