Oh hi guys, my name's Heather and you're watching Heather-Reset. I am off to go
see love Simon, and I'm so nervous. I've got like an hour before it shows.
I'm leaving because I want to get a good seat. I'm never nervous for movies and
I'm never nervous for book to movie adaptations. The movie and the book are
separate, and I can enjoy both separately. But this one I'm really nervous about.
One of the reasons why is because I really wanted it to stick completely to
the book but it's not going to. I got spoiled on some of the tricks that they
try to pull on people when I was watching someone's review of the movie.
You know when they talk about like having yourself represented in a book
and I say like I never feel like that. Yes, I'm a white straight female, but
females that are represented usually never represent me. I have
connected with guys in books and two out of three of them are gay. Don't really know
what that says about me. A little nervous because I did feel like I connected to Simon and he
definitely represents how I was in relationships and even with online
relationships. I totally got all of it. I was also in theater. We just connect
so much. Now I'm gonna go watch the movie, and I don't know what the theaters gonna
be like. I live in Kentucky so in a way I feel like I'm gonna go see Fifty Shades
of Grey.
This is like the third biggest city in Kentucky, but like it's not huge. Alright the movie's over. The first 25 mins or so I just
could not enjoy because the volume was
not loud enough in the theater. So I walked out to tell something to turn it
up. They didn't turn it up even though they
told me they were going to. Then I called someone while I was in the theater to get them to turn the
volume up, and I don't really know that they did either, but then someone came
in after that and I walked to the front. I don't know if
there's a speaker controller there, but then
after that I was just like okay I'm not gonna call and try to get a hold of someone a
third time when it's obvious they're not gonna do it. I just tried to ignore
the fact that I was having to strain my ears to hear it. and I think that people just
like stopped eating popcorn at that point. They'd run out of popcorn so
l was finally able to enjoy the movie, and I was glad because the latter part
was the best part anyway. A lot of the worries that I had with them changing up
the movie didn't actually wind up being a concern at all. Okay so we stuck with
the actual story. Thank you. There was only a few things that were changed to give
Blue more screen time, like with the party scene that happens. Some of the
things that happened at the Waffle House did not happen in the book. They really tried
hard to make Martin more sympathetic. There were people in the theater whenever he
was talking about like wanting to be with Abby and he wanted to Abby to like
him for himself they were all like aw, and I'm like you clearly haven't read
the book. Someone tweeted that this morning and then they deleted their
tweet for some reason. It happened again. There wasn't that many people in the
theater. 50% of it was couples, like heterosexual couples. Then like a set of
four girls and then like a couple girls and I don't know if they were friends or
whatever, but at the end of the movie some of them were crying. Whenever it got
to the ferris wheel scene like half the people in the theater were clapping. I
wanted more. I was waiting for that scene at the end of the book where
they have the talent show and then his older sister pops in with her new boyfriend
and it's like so we're gonna go out to eat y'all can go home and study and do
your homework. I was waiting for that part and it
didn't happen. but I do like the way that they ended the movie. It was cute and
there was more than one kiss so I was like okay good because I don't like the
movies where it's like there's one kiss and then that's it. Yeah I'm like it
ain't really a romance if there's only one kiss. I'm like don't Pride and
Prejudice me, people. A lot of the additions felt more like deleted
chapters from the book in a way. It really did seem like the actual story
even though there were deviations. If you are a person that relates to Simon in
that way with like the whole coming-out story or something like that, then you
would benefit from the theater viewing because you're sitting with other people
and it's kind of like there's this support vibe or at least if not a
support vibe than a non-judgmental vibe from everyone that's in that theater so
it feels kind of like a safe space. I feel like if you're wanting that kind
of community, you're wanting to feel like you're accepted, then going to the
theater would definitely be something good for you to do. If it's not
something where you feel like you need that,
then viewing it at home whenever it comes out on DVD is gonna be just as
good. The book gave me a lot more feels because
there was a lot more Simon and Blue, but I did like the movie as well. Bye :)
