Love, Simon film review: homosexuality normalised in smart, sympathetic high-school romance

After winning the Oscar - winning homosexual romance, please call me with your name, love, and Simon makes a more mainstream view of teen homosexuality. This movie is an attractive, witty, fully usable high school RomCom and has been successful with ingenious scripts and thoughtful performance.

Simon (Nick Robinson) is a big secret for Atlanta's teenager. He is homosexual, and despite having a friendly friend with a supporting family, he lacks the courage to come out. The blog post on the school community website was "blue" until it caused anonymous online relationship with the only boys he knew.

When Simon tried to expose his newly discovered soul mate, his pesky classmate Martin (Logan Miller) understood the truth and threatened him if Simon did not allow him a beautiful Abbey ( Alexandra Shipp) Together. Due to contradiction and confusion, Simon succumbed to extortion, which had an impact on society as a whole.

That power lies in the determination to normalize Simon's predicament. Like other teenage crisis in other youth movies, his sexual life is treated with the same anxiety, heartache and humor.

Simon's environment is a bit too safe - if Elio's role calls me by your name - if there is any - there is a clear shortage of bullies and homosexuals at school and elsewhere

Director Greg Berlanti interprets Becky Albertalli's novel "Simon and Homo Sapiens Agenda" as a comedy for young people telling generation. A person who is affected by sexual orientation. His movie abandoned the so-called hot button problem, focused on the teenager's daily struggle, opened up a new world by sticking firmly officially.

Many critics have already defined Rom com's connection, comparing love, Simon to an anonymous e-mail romance champion. Unlike "mail you received" in 1998, Simon shows the world where high school gossip spreads rapidly as social media spread. Oh Simon and Blue romanticism was built around the poll moments; their introduction, digital disassembly, and the beginning of offline relationships were inspired by public (and public) statements. In other words, this is a romantic story with the audience in the world, even before the movie audience sits down.

Love, Simon's early release of this year challenged a romantic style. Finally starring other romantic movies during Valentine's Day, I finally gave LGBT Q + a movie showing their love for mainstream society. Unlike other romantic stories, this movie is much bigger than the two lovers chasing each other on the screen for two hours. It is inconsistent with sexual behavior and shows the struggle of young people in today's culture facing the masses. It defines the importance and homosexual aspect that people frequently ignore and think is not important. Love, Simon depicts this by following his 17 - year - old Simon 's life to conceal his homosexual secret. It shows the struggle he told his friends and family, and the concerns he received from school people.
