Love, Simon

ComedyDramaRomance

Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it's a little more complicated. He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. From TMDB

    #TodayInQueerHistory March 16 (2018) Love, Simon the movie based on LGBTQIA+ writer Becky Albertalli's book Simon Vs the Homosapien Agenda is released in US cinemas. Critics called it “hugely charming crowd-pleaser”. It was the 1st major Hollywood film to focus on a gay teenage romance.

    Today's movie recommendation is "Love, Simon". A movie mostly targeted at closeted high schoolers and their parents, this is a wholesome family-friendly movie about coming out, and how the closet can hurt people. An after-school special with some really good moments and minimal cringe. #Movies

    In 2018, I remember watching Love, Simon in the movie theater with my classmates from high school. This is such a great film and great performances by Nick Robinson and Jennifer Garner. This is worth watching. #LGBT #2 #Filmsky #Moviesky #June

    OUR WILDEST DREAM is an LGBTQ+ coming-of-age story set in a grounded YA contemporary fantasy, meaning it brings magic to the world we live in. Movie lovers: Love, Simon meets Black Panther. Book lovers: All Boys Aren't Blue meets Cemetery Boys and Legendborn. (2/4)

    #NowWatching LOVE, SIMON (2018). Director: Greg Berlanti. Nick Robinson, Jennifer Garner. Charming wish fulfillment comedy paints Simon as ordinary teen? White, attractive, well-off, intelligent, has own car, doting parents, & stellar friends. Rewatching, but acknowledging privilege! #filmsky 📽

    It never occurred to me that the director of Love, Simon is the same guy who was one of the main architects of the ArrowVerse. Greg Berlanti really just around. So as a trade, this means Becky Albertalli (who wrote the book) should write the screenplay for the DCU Flash movie. Lol

    Love Simon Stalenhag’s art, and for that reason have not seen the film, looks dreadful. The Amazon ‘Tales from the Loop’ show does a far superior job of capturing the feeling of his art, something a lot quieter and almost melancholic. Electric State seems to almost entirely miss the point.

    How did this go ? Love Simon was a 📕 book. That became a movie and then was what revamped as Love Victor which I have no recall of… and in beating a dead horse fashion somehow spun off into whatever it was that just got canceled ? Might have the Simon book, not sure if still here or apartment

    Castration Movie to me is not any different than something like Richard Linklater’s Slacker. Are people yelling at him for the optics of Austin Texas or whatever no. But because your film has trans characters and themes suddenly it has to be Love Simon levels of dull

    Another thing to add, although not from the same year as these, is that H cowrote a song for the film Love, Simon, which is about a closeted gay teenager Look at what stories H chooses to be involved in telling and see how they differ from the ones told ‘about’ him.

    The most blatant queer example of 80s nostalgia / correction is Love, Simon which diverts from the novel because Greg Berlanti wanted to make the John Hughes film he didn't get to see. In a scene set in the future, Simon and his college dance to an iconic 80s song which... would they really though?

    Is Brokeback Mountain BL? It’s gay, the movie has conventionally attractive pale men, and the original was written by a woman. Is Love, Simon? Noah’s Ark? Pose? (You see where I’m going with this?) I’m not a BL purist but it’s interesting to see what gets the label and what doesn’t
