Hi people who have watched the movie and hopefully understand the movie better than me, I have question about these 2 scenes in the movie:
1. Why, I mean really... why Gi kissed Gabriel? Was she drunk? Or what?
2. In the end part of the movie, Gabriel said that Leo texted him about his illness. Wait, is that possible? I mean? He texted using phone?
Thanks before the reply. Do you guys have any confusing scenes to discuss? Let's do it. :D
*spoilers ahead*
1.
* Gi likes Leo, right? Well, I want to believe that she likes Gabriel more. This was evident when Gi and Leo were talking about Gabriel after he first came to school. She told Leo that Gabriel could be his prince. She hated Karina more this time because she's into Gabriel. Gi won't be that mad at Karina anymore if she really likes Leo, right? But this was not the case.
* It evident that Gi was jealous because Gabriel was ruining her friendship with Leo, but there was no hint of any feelings for Leo.
But right after Gabriel told her about "expressing your feelings" in the washroom, she kissed him. This was her way of telling Gabriel what she feels, but this confirmed that he doesn't have any feelings for her.
* Now she's back to her comfort zone, of being friends with Leo and hoping that Leo has feelings for her, but we know what happened when they're drinking during the camp.
just my two cents.

We have accessibility features in smartphones, plus we have Siri. We also have accessibility apps now. There was a scene where Leo checked if he has a message the morning after the first kiss, and another scene where he checked the time while waiting for the bus to leave for the camp. It didn't sound like Siri but it's definitely a virtual assistant. :D
hope this helps.
Wow you just thoroughly answered the questions,
especially number 1... that's one deep deduction, now to think about it, Gi is really a big hearted girl then. She's like indirectly rejected by the two boys she likes in short interval. So sad. And poor Karina too to get all those "trash-talk" because of the jealousy... oh, so teenagers. :P
And as number 2, now I feel ashamed ever asking this. I know those features, just never use them... but surely it's very possible for Leo as you mentioned in those scenes.
Thx for the reply. :D
I really like Karina. I want to know how she's treating Leo before, just to prove that Leo didn't like her because of what Gi's telling him but not because she's mean or something (although she's not doing good in school, we need to accept the fact that SHE'S REALLY GOOD-LOOKING!) :D
Well, it's always fun sharing information about a film like this. It's almost perfect.
I think Karina is nice, she helped Leo when he fell after teased by Fabio and the gangs. She's just not the kind of shy type girl, and yeah... jealousy usually manifested into ugly action, or reactions. :P
shareMy take on Leo and Gi is that they are long time friends that are maturing. And while Gi would like their relationship to evolve, she is frustrated that Leo is so clueless about such things, or at least about her availability. This goes back to the very beginning at the pool when they talk about being kissed, where she exhibits a slight bit of frustration and even says "he doesn't have to be a prince." Then she gets tired of hearing Leo babbly about it so she dives under the water to ignore him.
Certainly the two are very close and Leo is very dear to Gi. She strokes his hair and lets him rest against her. She spoils him a bit that way. Who wouldn't? He's a sweetheart.
Losing a bosom buddy to a newcomer has to hurt. Soon Leo asks if he was attractive and told Gi he didn't mean does Gi think he is attractive. He wanted to know if other people thought he was attractive. By then Leo was indirectly confirming to her she had little chance with him.
When Leo finally comes out to Gi, perhaps that hurt too. She failed with Gabriel then later that night learns Leo is gay and loves Gabriel. That was all too much for her, perhaps the last straw that night. She walked away.
1. Gi misunderstood Gabriel in the bathroom. Her wishful thinking interpreted his comments as an opening to express with a kiss how much she was into him.
2. The movie seemed to show us that Leo was able to use his cellphone effectively. I would say yes, it is possible Leo texted Gabriel.
On the issue of the cell phone, indeed there are accessibility apps available. There are programs that will read text out loud on a computer so blind people can participate in on-line discussion, do Google searches, and so on.
Also, it is possible that Leo has a special phone that has more touch sensors. That is, Leo can feel the face of the phone and find apps and so forth. For example, simple bumps on the screen. Text is the 3rd bump down on the right. The phone is the 2nd bump down on the right, and his music app is the 1st bump down on the left. You don't even really need a special phone, just a screen cover with bumps spaced equal to the icons.
So, he could text using a voice app, similar to the text reader. He know generally where the keyboard is, he puts his headphones in, and as he types, he hears G_A_B_R_I_E_L spoken.
I don't think these basic apps are that hard to find.
Also, you can send a text using a computer. I'm sure Leo has a computer even though we don't really see it.
Just a few thoughts.
