#LOVE SIMON CAST DRAMA TEACHER FREE#
We see that reserved teenager waiting to break free and wear his identity with no restraints. Through him, we see that will to take a chance. Nick Robinson previously starred in “Jurassic World,” but he is a knockout of an actor here. Simon extends his trust to him hoping they can figure this out together. Of course, it’s not all easy for Blue either, always feeling like life is a ferris wheel, one minute on top of the world, and the next, down and grounded here to society. We want the best because we know it’s what Simon deserves. We find ourselves wanting to know this ‘Blue,’ and it keeps us guessing with endless hope. Unexpectedly, there’s quite a bit of mystery laced into the film.

We follow Simon as he is swept away by this anonymous pen pal someone he slowly begins to fall for.

He’s found someone else who can relate to the things he’s feeling, the pressure that weighs him down at the thought of revealing himself, and the fear of change. There’s another gay male student who’s made himself known as simply “Blue.” Feeling a surge of relief and comfort, he composes a new email and begins opening up to Blue and signing off every message under the pseudonym, “Jacques.” This secret isn’t entirely his anymore. One day, his best friend, Leah (Katherine Langford) facetimes him to check out the latest in the school’s anonymous boards. He hasn’t told anyone at home and school, much less the friends he’s practically known his entire life. Simon Spier (Nick Robinson) is a closeted gay high school student. Sure, it wears its commercial teen gloss unapologetically, but it’s deeply thoughtful in the way it delivers its prize. It plays up to the modern teenage romance formula one tried and tested theme that’s proven to keep coming. It’s socially intelligent in the ways it understands the insecurities of youth and identity in all of its forms. Engaging, hilarious, and contagious, this is the film we needed for today’s youth. Greg Berlanti’s “Love, Simon” offers itself through the eyes of a prominent and genuine character. There’s no reason we shouldn’t give LGBTQ+ cinema the same commercialized adoration. What we always need more of, though, is the inclusion being pulled to the mainstream audience. We’ve recently had critical indies like, “ Call Me By Your Name,” “ Moonlight,” and “Blue Is The Warmest Color,” to thank. THE TEAM – Greg Berlanti (Director),Isaac Aptaker & Elizabeth Berger (Writer)Įven in the age of progressive idyllic norms, there’s a lack of study into the personal world of the average gay teen. THE CAST – Nick Robinson, Josh Duhamel & Jennifer Garner Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and l ife-changing. 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. THE STORY – Everyone deserves a great love story, but for 17-year-old Simon Spier, it’s a little more complicated.
