Hello Hivers! I am pleased to be here again. Today with a review of another film adaptation based on a novel, which I had the pleasure of seeing in a movie theater almost five years ago.
When I was given this novel as a gift I forgot it in a corner of my room because according to me, it was another adolescent work and I was old enough for that. But I was pleasantly pleased with the story, because I felt identified with the sexual discovery that the protagonist has and because it also left me in confrontation with my own social perceptions that I thought I had.
A very nice story, although perhaps there were many changes in the adaptation but nothing is completely perfect, I still celebrated and continue to celebrate that it was the first LGTBIQ+ teen movie made by a major film company.
Nice memories come to my mind of the screening of this film in theaters, I thought it was going to have a negative reception especially in a country as homophobic and conservative as Venezuela, but I was surprised to see children around me and people of all ages, tastes and colors enjoying this love story that is for all audiences.
I'm afraid I'm spreading myself too thin, so let's discover this story with a bigger message than the label "Teenager".

Hola amigos Hivers me complace estar de nuevo por aqu铆. Hoy con una rese帽a acerca de otra adaptaci贸n cinematogr谩fica basada en una novela, que tuve el placer de ver en una sala de cine hace casi un lustro.
Cuando me obsequiaron est谩 novela la olvide en un rinc贸n de mi cuarto porque seg煤n yo, era otra obra adolescente y yo ya estaba suficientemente grande como para eso. Pero me qued茅 gratamente complacido con la historia, porque me sent铆 identificado con el descubrimiento sexual que tiene el protagonista y porque tambi茅n me dej贸 en confrontaci贸n con los propias percepciones sociales que yo cre铆a tener.
Una historia muy bonita, aunque quiz谩s hubieron muchos cambios en la adaptaci贸n pero bueno nada es completamente perfecto, a煤n asi celebr茅 y sigo celebrando que haya sido la primera pel铆cula adolescente LGTBIQ+ realizada por una gran compa帽铆a de cine.
Recuerdos bonitos vienen a m铆 mente de la proyecci贸n de este film en las salas de cine, cre铆 que iba a tener una recepci贸n negativa sobre todo en un pa铆s tan homof贸bico y conservador como Venezuela, pero me sorprendi贸 ver ni帽os a m铆 alrededor y gente de todas las edades, gustos y colores disfrutar de esta historia de amor que es para todo p煤blico.
Me temo que me estoy extendiendo demasiado, as铆 que vamos a descubrir esta historia con un mensaje m谩s grande que la etiqueta "Adolescente".

The first thing that seduced me about this movie was definitely having read the novel before, I was sure that I was going to find an adaptation that did justice to the story, however I was a little disappointed that the director changed so many things that seemed unnecessary. First of all, no one asked for Leah to be secretly in love with Simon, probably because that didn't exist in the book.
I found many changes absurd but I have to accept that this is the open approach and no threats to morals that make homosexuality become normal, and that I now that I am an adult, I am supposed to assume that maybe this kind of content is not meant for me, but for the hundreds of teens in the closet like Simon and their families. That's key to analyze because the movie is very pink and light.
Quite conservative too since it is a movie about a gay teenager coming out of the closet with no violence and a lot of social acceptance something is clear and that is that it is not always like that and I wish at that point the story would have been better. I have to admit that there is an audience that needed this movie, and it's great that they have it but I think it should also teach them that not everything is always rosy.
For example Simon has a role model in his high school in a gay black kid named Ethan (Clark Moore), who came out of the closet 2 years ago and has been bravely enduring all the bullying you can imagine in his high school, but it's not treated as much as I hoped it would be treated so Love, Simon, as encouraging and well intentioned as it is, fails in that regard.

Lo primero que me sedujo de esta pel铆cula fue definitivamente haber le铆do antes la novela estaba seguro que me iba a encontrar con una adaptaci贸n que le hiciera justicia a la historia sin embargo me decepciono un poco que el director haya cambiado tantas cosas que me parecieron innecesarias. En primer nadie pidi贸 que Leah estuviera enamorada en secreto de Simon, seguramente porque eso en el libro no existi贸.
Me parecieron absurdos muchos cambios pero debo aceptar que este es el enfoque abierto y sin amenazas para la moral que hacen que la homosexualidad se convierta en algo normal, y que yo ahora que soy adulto, se supone que debo asumir que quiz谩s este tipo de contenido no est谩 destinado a m铆, sino a los cientos de adolescentes en el armario como Simon y sus familias. Eso es clave analizarlo porque la pel铆cula es muy rosa y ligera.
Bastante conservadora tambi茅n ya que es una pel铆cula sobre un adolescente gay que sale del armario con nada de violencia y mucha aceptaci贸n social algo est谩 claro y es que no siempre es as铆 y ojala en ese punto la historia hubiera sido mejor. Eso si hay que admitir que hay un p煤blico que necesitaba esta pel铆cula, y es genial que la tengan pero creo que tambi茅n se debe ensenar a que no siempre todo es color de rosa.
Por ejemplo Simon tiene un modelo en su secundaria en un chico negro gay llamado Ethan (Clark Moore), que sali贸 del closet hace 2 y ha estado soportando con valent铆a todo el bullying que puedas imaginar en su secundaria, pero no se trata tanto como espere que se tratara as铆 que Love, Simon, por muy alentadora y bien intencionada que sea, fallo en ese aspecto.
However there are many redeemable things one of them is the theme of being in the closet as sexuality is a valuable source of information. Love Simon also talks about friendship, integrity and a handful of lessons that will surely pay off.
But as a gay guy I can't get around the fact that Love, Simon puts me in an uncomfortable position, I can't review it like I would any other movie; I have to review it from my perspective as a gay guy talking about an LGTBIQ+ movie. It's great that stories like these are being given a place beyond the mistakes that are always going to depend on our perspectives. I think after Brokeback Mountain in 2005 no studio took a chance on bringing a gay drama to the screen, it took years for films like Moonlight or Call By Your name to come out, so it's okay for the new generations.
But I can't forget films like Bound, Poison, The Watermelon Woman, Paris Is Burning and My Own Private Idaho, much of the world doesn't know about these great productions but they are there being recognized by a historically forgotten community. That's why I think Love, Simon was a good start, maybe not the one I was hoping for but something for all audiences and for the whole family.
Sin embargo hay muchas cosas rescatables una de ellas es el tema de estar en el closet ya que la sexualidad es una valiosa fuente de informaci贸n. Love Simon tambi茅n habla sobre la amistad, la integridad y un pu帽ado de lecciones que seguramente tendr谩n sus frutos.
Pero como gay no puedo eludir el hecho de que Love, Simon me pone en una posici贸n inc贸moda, no puedo hacer una rese帽a como la que har铆a con cualquier otra pel铆cula; tengo que hacerla desde mi perspectiva como un chico gay que habla de una pel铆cula LGTBIQ+. Es genial que se le d茅 cabida a historias como estas m谩s all谩 de los errores que siempre van a depender de nuestras perspectivas. Creo que despu茅s de Brokeback Mountain en 2005 ning煤n estudio se arriesg贸 a llevar a la pantalla un drama gay, tardaron a帽os en salir pel铆culas como Moonlight o Call By Your name, as铆 que est谩 bien para las nuevas generaciones.
Pero no puedo olvidar pel铆culas como Bound, Poison, The Watermelon Woman, Paris Is Burning y My Own Private Idaho, gran parte del mundo no conoce estas grandes producciones pero est谩n ah铆 siendo reconocidas por una comunidad hist贸ricamente olvidada. Por eso creo Love, Simon fue un buen comienzo quiz谩s no el que esperaba pero si algo para todo p煤blico y para toda la familia.
A year ago a series was released with more diverse and inclusive characters inspired by this movie called Love, Victor so I'm sure the story is far from over. Either way you guys can enjoy this movie it is great and has a great cast everyone is perfect. My rating for this movie is 7.5/10.
Hace un a帽o fue estrenada una serie con personajes m谩s diversos e inclusivos inspirada en esta pel铆cula que lleva por nombre Love, Victor as铆 que estoy seguro que la historia est谩 lejos de terminar. Sea como sea ustedes pueden disfrutar de esta pel铆cula es grandiosa y tiene un gran reparto todos est谩n perfectos. Mi puntuaci贸n para esta pel铆cula es de 7.5/10.
