Hello there my lovely little faces. Two days ago, on Sunday morning, I wanted to watch a movie and I remembered that I hadn’t watch Love, Simon yet. So, I made breakfast, included coffee of course, and opened my laptop. I found the movie and relaxed.

The story:
Simon ( Nick Robinson ) is a totally normal teen. He goes to school, he drinks too many coffees with his friends, he loves his family but, he has a secret that no one knows. Not even his best friend, Leah ( Katherine Langford ). He is gay. When someone posted at the school’s gossip site, anonymously, that he’s gay and no one knows it Simon send him an e-mail. He started talking through e-mails with this guy using code-names and he fell in love with him. What will happen when Martin ( Logan Miller ) finds out the e-mails and starts to blackmailing Simon to set him up with Abby ( Alexandra Shipp )? Will he save himself even if one of his friends, Nick ( Jorge Lendeborg Jr. ), has feelings for her? And finally, will he meet his secret love at Bram’s ( Keiynan Lonsdale ) Halloween party or not?

It’s definitely one of the cutest things that I have ever watched. Everyone did a great job. I’m not sure if the movie is really representative of gay people out there but I found it really good. Simon, says on some point that it’s unfair that only gay people have to come out and tell their loved ones ( and the whole world ) about their sexuality and that’s true. I mean, I’m straight… but I never had to tell that to my family… I talk about guys with my friends and my bi friend talks about girls ( and boys ) with us… she never told us that she’s bi though. She started talking about both of them and we just figure it out. So simple.

OK, NOW I WILL WRITE SOME SPOILERS SO IF YOU DON’T WANNA READ PLEASE LEAVE.

Are we good? Great.

Something else that this movie made me realise ( and I felt so damn proud of myself ) is that I’m totally Abby. I mean, when one of my friends ( that until a few days was totally straight ) told me that she thinks that she has feelings for another girl I was like… “wow… ok! so… is she nice?” And on the carnival scene, when everyone else started applauding I was started crying the exact moment as Abby ( it’s not our fault… we are way too romantic ).

In this movie Simon’s parents, Emily ( Jennifer Garner ) and Jack ( Josh Duhamel ) are really supportive when he came out. Ok, his dad freaked out for a while but he eventually told him that he was proud of him and that he loved him and that was it. I really pray that more parents would be like Emily and Jack and don’t tell me that they are fictional characters. I wouldn’t stop loving my child if she/he was gay or bi or whatever. The only thing that I would want would be for them to be happy, healthy and to find someone that would love them to the damn moon and back.

That was it people. I’m out now. You can watch the trailer here. Don’t forget to tell me what you think about the movie in the comments below or on my facebook page.
