#patty and Simon

[the-epitome-of-sin]

Me fighting my social anxiety to email the email Kyle Gallner keeps sharing to get a DIA showing in my tiny little state, knowing damn well i don’t know anyone else in my area who loves this movie as much as i do 😂

No one speak to me. I watched dinner in America and I will never recover.

Simon and patty are the most romantic thing ever to me (next to Daniel and Armand but that’s a different thing)

THEY MATCHED EACH OTHERS FREAK. Simon never talked down to or like patty was stupid. He explained things in his own brash as fuck way, but he never took that ‘oh she’s a little slower then others’ tone. Because yeah patty is intellectually disabled, but that doesn’t mean she’s stupid or should be treated like she’s not an adult.

Like her parents circled jobs that didn’t require customer or any personal interaction, she’s an adult but they still infantilize her so much they don’t want her going to a rock show with her friends. Simon sees that yeah she’s a little disabled but she’s not stupid, and he won’t let anyone talk to her like she’s a child.

He actively defends her and yells at others who try it, like with his family, with the track dudes, even when patty herself asks if she’s the R slur, he lovingly aggressively tells her to never speak about herself like that.

Simon sees patty for who she is, who he saw in her poems, the girl who for 2 years has been sending him letters that made him feel seen.

Patty sees Simon for who he is, for the first time both of them have someone who sees them. Who understands them, who matches their freak and isn’t embarrassed or ashamed by them.

I just I love them okay

I don’t know how people keep missing the point in ‘Dinner in America’.

Patty isn’t “weird and quirky” she’s ND. And it’s ok if you don’t like Simon’s character because we’re not really supposed to. The point is that no matter what disability you have or how you are as a person there’s ALWAYS someone out there who’s gonna love you. Simon didn’t water himself down and Patty loved him that way and he made sure to always reassure her and never made her feel “dumb” or too much. They remained the same only now they had each other.

I need more movies like this, it was so fun and comforting. Kyle gallner and Emily skeggs did an amazing job and made the characters feel so real and intimate.

[vannillalli]

does anyone that watched dinner in america have like one line that’s been stuck in their head?

right now mine is simon busting into the convenience store and shouting ‘I’LL GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY POCKETS RIGHT NOW IF YOU LET ME BORROW YOUR TRUCK FOR AN HOUR!’ with his angry crazy eyes

i’ve been repeating it all day

[multiverselibrarian]

Dinner in America is a critique on American (specifically midwestern) suburban life and the nuclear family, as well as a nod to the white 90s punk scene. Of course I love the rom com aspects of the story but reducing it to that misinforms new audiences.

Please allow/listen to/absorb critiques of this movie’s use of slurs and prejudice.

Real marginalized voices should always come first.

Imagining a Steddie Dinner in America au. With Steve as Patty and Eddie as Simon!

[lunitalunera]

Everyone loves the part where Simon tells Patty they’re gonna visit the pet store and then she wants to play hoops first and he just lets it happen but what really gets me is when he finds the cat and she asks him if he thinks she’s cool and he keeps saying no but finishes with “im fucking with you again”. Hes so star struck by her.
