There are many films and television works related to LGBT themes.
In 2018, a small-budget film "Love You, Simon" appeared on the screen to tell the story of a young school that struggles in a deep closet for teenagers.
Its small and fresh style has won the favor of the public, and it is a successful commercial work at the box office. Because of this, the production company immediately took advantage of the trend to shoot its spin-off drama -
"Love You, Victor"
Love, Victor
A total of two seasons, the full episode has been released so far, Douban 7.2-7.7 points.
Although the male protagonists of "Love You, Victor" are all played by Nick Robinson, in fact, this drama tells a new story, but the story takes place in that town, the Creek Wood High School...
But interestingly, the story timeline in the play follows the love in Simon's film, and Simon also becomes indispensable in the play in another form.
The whole drama can be basically summarized into three story lines: Victor's love history, Victor's friend's love history, and Victor's parents' love history...
Youth campus Dramas are always inseparable from the word dog blood, and the same is true for this one.
The story begins with the Victor family moving from Texas to creekwood.
The move was a great opportunity for Victor, and it meant he could figure it out once and for all: Who am I?
In fact, he has been obsessed with his sexual orientation, bound by traditional ideas, he dare not admit that he has an impulse for the same sex, but also hopes to try to associate with women and return to normal.
The high-value Victor just entered the school and gained the heart of the campus goddess Mia,
But at the same time, he is attracted to another handsome boy, Benji.
Confused, Victor finds Simon, who has come out successfully, to seek answers.
In Victor's heart, simon is perfect in everything: an enlightened family, always a friend, a fierce love, and a never-discriminatory campus environment...
Victor, by contrast, is in such an isolated tradition that homosexuality is a shameful thing.
He longs for Simon's life, and fortunately, Simon has also sincerely replied to him and becomes his spiritual mentor on the way out.
In the process of groping for sexual orientation, Victor did do a lot of things that destroyed the three views.
For example, knowing that he likes Benji, but agrees to fall in love with Mia, pretending to be a straight man and dating her;
Another example is to confirm his intentions and kiss Benji when he knows that he has a boyfriend.
Fortunately, at the end of the first season, Victor finally plucked up the courage to face his heart with Simon's encouragement and guidance, and began a sweet love affair with Benji.
Although the comeback was successful, as a gay man, Victor had many troubles.
The basketball team members refused to share the locker room with him for fear that he would peek at him;
The mother has been unable to accept the fact that he is gay, and even took him to pray in an attempt to make him "straight";
Benji has had many previous relationships, and Victor is the first love, and he worries that he has no experience to mess everything up...
In addition, in the second season, his love affair with Benji has also been tested in many ways.
The two never seriously considered the future, Benji's past made Victor difficult to accept, and the addition of new people also put their relationship at stake...
Compared with Victor's line of finding his true self in love, there are also many interesting CPs in the play, such as the more attractive "Optimist School Bully" and the CP line of rich women.
Xueba always grinned widely every day, had no heart and no lungs, and loved a rich woman with a good figure and good looks.
The rich girl has been living under the pressure of her mother, and has almost no self-confidence, so Xueba tries to help her find self-confidence.
Tell her that she doesn't need to define herself by scores, that she deserves a boy who is full of her eyes and treats her sincerely, and also gives the example of a squid, romantic to the extreme...
And it will take her crazy from time to time.
She will also consider her feelings, willing to show her worst side, alleviate her embarrassment, and tell her:
"The environment you live in is not representative of you, and the opinions of the people around you are not representative of yourself, you are already the best version of yourself." 」
It is precisely because of this that the rich woman from the very beginning worried that others would laugh at her for being in love with the bully, so she had to sneak up on a meeting, and later dared to stand on the stage at the campus dance party to take the initiative to show love.
However, the family situation and growth experience of the two people are also too large, and the road to love is also bumpy.
In general, "Love You, Victor" is a typical youth campus Drama, with a small fresh, sunny and healing side, as well as a rotten love triangle and a messy CP line, although it is not very brilliant, but it is still okay to look at it during the drama famine.
