Simon suspects a few different guys to be Blue throughout the movie: Could it be his sweet friend Bram? Or the grinning Waffle House employee Lyle? Or maybe the drama club pianist Cal? As Simon grows closer to each possibility, he is forced to cross them off his list: He catches Bram making out with a woman, then Lyle admits to Simon that he's interested in his friend Abby, and Cal straight-up tells Simon that he's not Blue. In Love, Simon, Simon Spier develops an intimate email-based relationship with a fellow closeted gay kid at his high school, who sends him messages under the alias Blue. Spoiler alert: I'm going to be talking about the ending of Love, Simon, so don't read on if you haven't seen the movie for yourself yet. The movie's writers spoke about how they made that twist ending so shocking, and why they decided to show it the way that they did, in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter. Throughout the movie, we are all wondering the same thing: Who is Blue in Love, Simon, and in the end, we get an unexpected answer. Well, it's a rom-com that is kind of warped into a whodunnit-style mystery, as both Simon and the audience tries to work out the identity of the title character's secretive, email-sending love interest, known only by his pseudonym Blue. Love, Simon is breaking barriers as the first major studio movie about a gay kid, and along with that distinction, it is also just a really sweet, funny, and heartfelt high school rom-com.
