Answer preview

This movie is one that is assuredly a rib cracker. The main theme of the movie is the coming out of a teenage boy who had to face his huge identity secret. In the beginning of the movie, the sixteen year old teenager clearly tells the audience that he is just like us only that he is keeping a huge secret. Simon is a typical neighborhood boy who lives with his parents in an Atlanta suburb. His mom is a therapist while his dad is a jovial guy’s guy. His dad is liberal, and at one point in the movie, he refers to another man as ‘fruity’ which makes Simon struggle to hold laughter.
