Love, Simon is that movie! but I hated his friends with a passion they didn’t even stand up for him when he was getting teased in the cafeteria
@Jeremy Timothy 🤡
Yeah, he deserved better friends
@@carlosvaldez4356 the only person who had a right to be mad is Abby. Leah and nick did not
The only person who deserved to be a little mad for that whole things was Abby she did have a point saying she’s not a piece of meat
True last time i saw this film, i told my mum who was watching it with me that he should've told Abby the whole truth when he came out to her so that she'd at least be a little sympathetic. So rlly if that happened then Leah would've been the only one who was rlly mad at him. Also in the situation of the film, i'd have been mad, yes, but i would've kept in mind that Simon woulda gone thru hell too so the most i would do if i were in any of their situations is just not talk to Simon but stand up for him at the very least.
"We're good parents, right?" was my favorite line.
That line describes me as a future parent
@@MoviesinDepth Are you there now ? If so, CONGRATS ! Here’s hoping your sweetest dreams have come true ❤
this is my all time ultimate comfort movie and comfort book. This book and movie really helped me to accept myself 💕🏳️🌈
same! i definitely prefer the book bc of the friend's reactions, the general story (sooo many questions), and the ending, but the movie is really good too. The book has sooooooo good, but i know the whole movie off by heart lol
astagfirallah
The times i sobbed during this film:
1. When Blue blocked Simon
2. When the sister cried
3. Mom's speech
4. When Simon's dad told him he loved him
5. When Martin said he was Blue XD
that scene with his dad had me bawling
@@nobodyislistening1328 Omg i knowwww when he said, "I wouldn't change anything about you" - *bawling* T_T
When i saw bram and simon in love,victor i literally cried. They deserve the world and more!
in general terms i do like this movie and it has incredible moments, but the one thing i hate that they changed in the adaptation is the ferris wheel scene where EVERYONE'S watching and waiting and expecting, it creates a situation that forces blue to literally come out to so many people if he wants to get to Simon and i don't think that was their best-thought move. it's all private in the book and there's a cute funny interaction thing with a note and a t-shirt and stuff. if you love the movie you should totally check it out, it's an easy and wholesome read. anyway, love the reaction as usual!!
Nah, it was still up to Blue to decide on whether he wanted to meet him there or not. Simon would've understood if he didn't show up. And if anything, Blue would've met him the next day instead if he really wanted to.
@@modernworld9239 okay yes, i can totally see that. just saying that the whole idea of the crowd going crazy for the discovery isn't as cute of a situation as it may show, and that a private moment between the two when they've had such a personal profound connection would've been adequate and just as endearing
@@apocalyptichild2570 I totally agree with you, I really wish they had that moment in private in the movie as well... The other thing that I didn't like that they changed from the book is that Leah likes Simon, in the book she actually likes Nick, and gets mad at Simon for setting her up to get her heart broken.... in the movie it kind of just seems like she gets mad at him for not liking her back, or for not telling her that he's gay. Yes, he did still try to set them up in the movie, but when none of them had feelings for each other neither of them got hurt, and Leah kind of just seems like she gets mad at Simon for not realizing that she likes him.
@@onlyhereforfreewifi6086 Yes! I mean, the whole friends getting mad is messy in the movie, but specially Leah's side since... getting mad at your gay friend for not being yet in a place where he feels like coming out and not realizing you had feelings for him is... not a good point, really. I consider Leah liking Nick more interesting even, since if it was true that neither Nick or Leah liked each other then their date would've been... yes pointless, but not heartbreaking.
@@apocalyptichild2570 It was suppose to be a cinematic scene because most romantic movies have big romantic gestures like that. Have you seen Never Been Kissed? The ending was kinda like the ferris wheel scene, except it was a baseball field. I get what you're trying to say though, private moments are good too. Either way, it works.
This movie is my comfort movie. I'm still struggling with coming out and I'm scared to death.
We’re all here for any sort of support you ever need ♥️
@@MoviesinDepth Thank you ♥️
Hey- if you have come out, I hope it went well. And if you haven’t…or have, sending supportive vibes. 🌈❤️
U should do it
“Fourth-graders suck!” laughter slows down as you realize you’re THAT fourth-grader...
Being outed in high-school was one of the worst experiences of my life, and this was in the '90s, when there wasn't support on a broad scale, and religious-nut teachers would make a spectacle of you because being gay or bi was outside the comfortable norm.
I’m so sorry that happened to you 🌈❤️
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Simon deserved better friends
I love this movie. His friends were really kind of self absorbed and didn't understand why he did what he did. I was especially upset at Abby seeing that she knew he was gay before the rest of them. I get that what he did was wrong, but once they knew the truth, how could they honestly stay mad at him and isolate him the way they did for so long?
Because that doesn’t clear the damage he created. His friends had every right to be mad at him because he actively gaslit them and put them in very uncomfortable situations. He was put in a very tough position but what he did was still wrong, he is still accountable for his actions. Especially because he had ample opportunity to tell Abby About Martin right after coming out to her.
@@ChromeOfTheFuture I never said that he wasn't. But when those guys were bullying him in the cafeteria they did nothing. I get be mad, but thats your friend. You could go back to being mad afterwards.
I just read somebody commenting that straight guys who kiss other guys (even when they're pretending to be gay) grab the other guy's head so they can control how much they can control the kiss.
Interesting. Controlling the kiss can be also to prolong the kiss.
The way Martin outed Simon is on my list of unforgivable things someone could do to another human. And what makes it WAY WORSE is the fact that he said his brother is gay. So…you’re telling me that your sibling is a gay male, and you either speak to him so infrequently, or care so little about him, that you have no idea (1) how big a deal coming out is and (22) that gay people still get bullied such that there was a virtual guarantee that when you outed Simon, by telling people to contact him for sex, he would absolutely get bullied and harassed??? Really???!
Me after watching this video: CAN I MARRY YOU PLEASE AND WE CAN WATCH THIS FILM AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT
I love this film so much but I hate how they made Leah suddenly in love with Simon. In the books (or the sequel called Leah On The Offbeat) you find out she's bi and in love with Abby, and it's so great. Also I could not stand the bit with his friends reactions when standing on the sidewalk, they're just so selfish
“Getcho pumpkin ass away from my manz”me because MOOD😭😭😭😭😭
The ending scene in the movie made a lot of sense with how they changed Blues' character, but shy and quiet book-blue would've never
i hate martin’s confession so much 😭 it makes me cringe so hard
I absolutely love this movie along with Love Victor. Love Simon REALLY helped me come to terms of who I am and that its perfectly okay to be different..always be you!! I have watched both love Simon and love victor numerous times. It warms my heart to hear how much you love this movie and the series as well. You are awesome man. Thank you for the support of LGBTQ.
I thought his friends were a holes tbh😂 they were so upset that he didn't tell them but that's literally the definition of coming out. He's confused and stuff
When you first brought up Cabaret I instantly thought of Schitt's Creek which I think you would love. You don't have to react to it but you should watch it on your own time if you haven't already. They have a Cabaret episode lol
Amen to that!
In the book, California, the stage manager, the one who you said was the consistent friend, he turned out to be bisexual. He even asked Simon out, but Simon turned him down... he just wasn't Blue.
Bram is a lot more shy and quiet in the book than he is in the movie, and the way the carnival scene goes in the book reflects that. The Ferris wheel thing is more cinematic, so I get why they changed it for the movie, but I still much prefer the quieter, more private meeting that we got in the book
A bit unrelated, but have you considered reacting to "The Prom" on Netflix? You talk about musical theatre often, so I thought your reaction would be fun
I have to say Abby had all the right to be angry at Simon. I understand that he was put in a difficult position being blackmailed but you still shouldn’t be pawning off your friends. I get that it was a very sticky situation but he should’ve told her about the whole situation right after coming out to her. Even if he had good intentions that doesn’t clear him of all the damage he created, she had all the right to be angry at him.
Also the reason I feel like they were all able to regroup together is because they were such close friends that they were able to air out their feelings and take time so no apology was needed.
One of my only criticisms of this movie is that they made Leah to have a crush on Simon , and it just wasn’t needed.
It really wasn’t cause Simon didn’t even like her in that way at all
Ikr it hurts to see her get hurt like tht
I love this movie sooooo much! It’s literally one of those movies that make you feel not only good but also it’s relatable and ugh just love it
i absolutely LOVE love, simon
i love love simon but hated his friends during the cafeteria scene. u should watch the show love, victor. nick robinson who played simon is a producer on the show and makes an appearance in the show
If you like movies with great soundtrack, you should definetly watch Spirit, stallion of the cimmaron. It's one of the most underrated animated movies ever!
19:29 this is gonna make me cry again
This is literally one of my fav movies which I have watched more than 50 times and I am still not tired of watching
Loved your commentary!
I love this movie. There are some things I kind of wish they hadn’t changed from the book (especially the stuff with his friend’s reactions) but I still really like it
Also, you should definitely read the book. It’s so good! As is the sequel
I love your channel you always make me laugh and smile thank you and also my birthday month it February too!🤩
18:21-18:42 she is a queen and we stan her 🙌🏾🙌🏾
I love your channel
0:51-0:54 same i'm so excited! i didn't know u watched the show
could you please react to rags next? it's a nickelodeon movie but it's painfully underrated and the soundtrack it's AMAZING
I would love to get that wallpaper
When season two comes out you should totally react to love victor!!!
Great commentary/reaction 👍 love the movie.
If I could choose a first date with a guy I would do a carnival and ferris wheel
Yes.
@@MoviesinDepth I remember seeing this theaters with my parents who love me for who I am not for my sexuality
This movie brought out so many real emotions for people in my life, including myself. I love the honesty and care for all of the topics it tried to touch on.
did you finish love, victor? if so, what do you rate it out of 10? i loved the commentary on the first episode of love victor so i was wondering if you finished it
This is my Birthday Month too!!😁😁 Happy Birthday😊😊🎂
There was some deleted scenes where right after Simon got outed Nick came over his house told " so your gay I don't care let go out " take him to a gay bar and had fun
It was kind of creepy that people in that gay bar were coming on to a teenager, but at least one guy sort of protected him.
@@corvus1374 in fairness when you go to bar you half assumed the people you meet is 21 or up already. Because more then likely get carded at the door
Yeah, I also totally forgot Hannah from 13rw was in this film lol
Have you seen Love, Victor?
I love this movie 😍
Im ready for Love Victor season 2 so I can see your reactions.
I hope u got to read the book they take alot out and really do the friends dirty in the movie
please please please react to death becomes her with meryl streep, goldie hawn and bruce willis it is the best movie everrrr
Definitivamente deberías ver el amor, Victor.
i love this movie but watching it makes me physically ill as it gives me so much anxiety. the movie came out in 2018 and because of it, i neglected to come out for like an extra year in a half
not to be that person, but leah didn't like simon in the books and simon and bram's getting-together was a sweet private moment, both things i much preferred. i totally loved the movie too, but those additions felt unnecessary to me. also the book has a super cute sequel from leah's POV with abby as her love interest, and i'm a huge fan of everything becky albertalli writes!!!
Maybe give Almost Famous a watch. Think you'll enjoy it. Hell, might even love it?
I will say I agree with you as far as his friends with the exception of Abby. He did come out to her so he had nothing to worry about as far as she was concerned. I totally get where she was coming from where the man that should have been the most important in her life at that time (her dad) betrayed her and one of the next guys she let herself open up to betrays her by trying to manipulate her into a relationship that was never going to happen feels justified. She had trust issues prior to this and that just heighten them for her. As a gay guy I get where she was coming from. I was a teen in the 90's and I pretty much tried to project myself as A-Sexual so no one knew that I was gay because I saw how the students that were openly gay were treated so I honestly get where she and Simon were coming from. It really was a no win situation.
5:43-5:50 i never understood that either
7:29-7:35 so true
I feel like you need to react to Season 3 of the original Skam from Sweden, then Skam France. Trust me?
You know Skam ain’t from Sweden right?!
you'd like the show skam, I think. you should watch it (not even react to it, jut watch it I think you'd enjoy it)
11:31-11:34 same 😂😂
I was born in February too
21:37 here it comes! 🤗🤗
17:09 that hurt
I came as soon as I heard
you should watch rags it's a nickelodeon movie but it's so good also the greatest showman as well
Can you do Me, Earl and the Dying Girl????
9:49-9:58 ikr
I love this movie, and the book is just perfection! 🏳️🌈❤️
If you haven't read the book, you should! I love the movie, but the book is sooo much better. It doesn't end at the carnival, so you actually get to experience a bit of their relationship!
watching the movie before reading the book ruined it for me. it’s an awesome movie and i cried, a lot, and the book is even better, but my hatred for his friends was so strong after watching the movie i could Not stand them in the book, they were literally irredeemable for me. aside from that i will recommend both movie and book to everyone in my life unprompted because they’re so so so so amazing
16:29-16:38 i hated this part when he found out
8:26-8:33 i don't think that's enough. he needs a whole personality makeover
dat dusty CPU.
I love this movie so much. I was questioning when I first watched this and now I have kinda like come out to myself ig as an ace lesbian. It's really helped me realize who I am 🏳️🌈
Hope I can find a movie about like nonbinary/trans people (I'm going thru a gender identity crisis rn lol)
I know it wouldn't have worked for the timeline, but I really wish the scene between Martin and Abby at the Waffle House had happened earlier in the film. The first time I watched this movie, it honestly had me rooting for him until I remembered he was awful.
Aw man. I came in here thinking this was an appreciation segment for SIMON BASSET. Totally sad and disappointed.
Lmao Simon Bassets a fuck boy. Why would he dedicate a video to him?? Lmao
15:35 just stop. just walk away. no one wanted this.
I think I am the only one who doesn’t think the friends are wrong. I understand what Simon was going through and I’m not going to take away from that but they have every right to feel betrayed by him because he betrayed them. Could they have chosen to have a conversation instead of walking away, sure, but people are naturally selfish and instinctively think of themselves first so I think they had a natural reaction to what he did to them over what he was going through
The thing is, Simon's situation was much worse, from being blackmailed over something that was deeply personal to him and being outed to everyone in school. Things like this could've ended really badly. Abby, Leah and Nick's situation is nowhere near that serious. They should've put their own feelings aside, and they should've stood up for him in the cafeteria scene.
@@modernworld9239 I never said who had the worst situation. I said I understood why Abby, Nick and Leah were upset and their reaction was natural. I understand why Simon did what he did but act the end of the day he acted selfishly and so did they. To ask someone to ignore their own feelings for the benefit of someone else is the hardest thing someone can do no matter who is in the worst position in the scenario. We can argue “should have”, “could have”, “would have” all day and no one would be wrong, let’s just be glad things went the way they did
@@csanders It's not fair to accuse Simon of being selfish, especially when he was being forced to do something he didn't want to do in order to keep his identity private. For some, it is a matter of safety and protection, since there was a chance that he could've faced some extreme bullying or discrimination.
@@modernworld9239 I understand why Simon did what he did, but in his fear of what would happen he made the decision to set up the people he called his friends to be hurt to protect himself (yes and Blue)
@@csanders I don't think you truly understand, to be honest. Although, I don't expect everyone to really understand the complexities of a deeply closeted person's mindset and how they cope in life. For centuries, gay people had no choice but to lie to everyone in order to _survive_ and _live_ in this society. No matter how desperately they want to finally be open, they can't risk it...and you can't expect them to come out against their will. That's one of the few things that gay people have any control over in this world, and for that to be taken away is a really huge blow to them. Simon was put in a terrible position that no teenager should have to go through. Blackmail is a serious issue, and people like to make light out of it, but it's actually pretty dangerous. So Simon's friends should've taken that into consideration, as that makes a big difference in this case.
