Every time Jeff tries to move him outside his comfort zone, his self-consciousness definitely goes up. So I always looked at it as Clay having found his safe bubble and being okay there, but really not comfortable anywhere else.<br /><br />Clay has a very revealing line when he says that “I can be myself around [Hannah.]” it suggests he’s always got armor up elsewhere. (Since MOST flashbacks we see of Clay happen in Hannah’s presence, this might explain his comfort there.)<br /><br />All that said, you’re probably right that Leah feels her status more acutely, or at least, hides it more poorly.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-30918000871581361722018-09-25T08:38:17.612-07:002018-09-25T08:38:17.612-07:00Agree that this review is excellent as are all you...Agree that this review is excellent as are all your entries. Also agree that the movie would benefit if the Leah/Simon relationship was more fleshed out. I would quibble with your comparison of Leah to Clay. I think Leah really feels her status as an outsider and it has a real effect on the way she view herself and makes her somewhat self conscious--she sees herself as being different. At least before Hannah's death, I'm not sure Clay views himself as an outsider or that it would really bother him if he did. Clay seems pretty comfortable in his own skin. I don't think that's entirely the case with Leah.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-10035136137469188712018-07-12T06:51:43.316-07:002018-07-12T06:51:43.316-07:00This is one of the most delightfully detailed and ...This is one of the most delightfully detailed and well-written analyses of Love, Simon that I've read. I actually found myself agreeing with almost all of it, especially your observation that the film is not as Hughesian as many reviewers would have us believe, and the important distinction that you make between the two big public moments (i.e. Martin's and Simon's) in the film. <br /><br />Great stuff!Derek McGovernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01972376872026435180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-88187412819285081802018-06-19T00:18:06.478-07:002018-06-19T00:18:06.478-07:00fandango - It's just a sweet coming of age sto...<a href="https://365movies.is/tag/fandango" rel="nofollow">fandango</a> - It's just a sweet coming of age story about a guy who happens to be gay. How refreshing to like all (or almost all) of the characters. No violence, gore, or really horrible people. Sure, it's an idealized version of reality, but sometimes we need a movie to escape into, as well as learn from. I would rate this 8.5 because there are a few moments that come off as less than perfect... but I rounded it up to a 9 because they took a huge risk: not about making a "gay" movie, but about making a positive, sweet, idealized one.<br />See more:<br /><a href="http://moviesbox.live/watch-deadpool-full-movie-online-free.html" rel="nofollow">deadpool full movie</a><br /><a href="http://moviesbox.live/all-the-money-in-the-world-online-free.html" rel="nofollow">all the money in the world movies123</a><br /><a href="http://moviesbox.live/deadpool-2-full-movie-putlockers.html" rel="nofollow">deadpool 2 full movie watch online</a><br /><a href="http://365comedymovies.com/watch-super-troopers-2-online-free.html" rel="nofollow">watch super troopers 2 online free</a><br /><a href="http://365romancemovies.com/watch-death-wish-2018-full-movie-online-free.html" rel="nofollow">death wish putlockers</a><br /><a href="https://365movies.is/tag/sicario-2-soldado-putlocker/" rel="nofollow">sicario putlocker</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03491629857347929020noreply@blogger.com
