      Me and Earl and the Dying Girl--High School Campus Story

      The story of the film unfolds from the perspective of the male pig's foot, a 17-year-old boy named Greg, who has just entered his final year of high school. Greg's thin exterior hides a rather withdrawn heart. We know from his mouth that since middle school, he has been "diving", talking less, not being social, surrounded by some nodding acquaintances and high-five acquaintances. In his opinion, the campus is nothing more than a place where a group of laity stay. The classroom is a...

      We are so good at avoiding pain that we even reject pleasure because of it

      "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is about a friendship with a known ending. The movie is as straightforward as the name, there is no heinous villain, and there is no bloody youth pain story, just like any inexplicable and profound friendship in our adolescence, but there is more death in the movie. The male protagonist Greg's greatest wish is to be a transparent person, he does not join any circles, and does not have a deep relationship with anyone in order to avoid conflicts. He seems to be...

      Obsession with movies is a tribute to loneliness

      The director successfully made the theme of terminal illness for teenagers into a school. A boy's clever creativity and love for classic literary films, there is no conventional love, and there is no exaltation and sublimation. Everything should be like this. This is the youth of most people who can resonate with us. Friendship will always occupy much earlier than love, pure and true. This witty movie is a little absurd in the freshness, a little thought in the healing, and sincere in the...

      Analysis and Association of "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"

      Nearly 30 years ago, in the northeastern corner of Mount Huangshan, at the foot of Confucius Mountain, one of the seventy-two peaks, in winter, during the dry season, you would see a large river beach, and all kinds of stones, large and small, were exposed one after another. Small, smooth and dazzling. At the time, I thought, year after year, these rocks washed down by floodwaters from the mountains looked strong, but they were actually fragile, and they were far less...

      when teenage years are more than bg love

      deals with the teenage struggles. Greg, the main character, was a teenage guy who felt alienated by his peers. Even as he claimed to actively avoid socializing with others and keeping superficial relationships, the audience can tell from his emotions and actions that he longed for a genuine relationships. He was not self-assured nor confident to put his faith in front of any other, so he could only hold on to himself and pretend to not care. In...

      There are some movie stalks that I don’t understand very well, but I like the tone of the whole film very, very much. The characters of several leading actors in the play are very good. Maybe the male and female protagonists are not the mainstream types on American campuses. This movie There are not many vulgarities, dog blood and sensationalism that are often used in youth...

      Photography is too much to follow a certain director, and it is also a contribution for all young people (like me) who like to look at the Criterion Collection lightly and pretend to be...

    Evaluation action

    "I and Earl and the Dying Girl" is different from those mediocre growth movies, because it fully presents the rich and full adolescent emotions that each of us has experienced. Not only is the literary atmosphere strong, the emotions are real and moving, but also it is very interesting. It is a down-to-earth characterization rather than a series of accidental events to fool things. The actors in this film are also outstanding. Thomas...

    Movie quotes

    • Greg: The idea behind each one was we took a film that we like and made the title stupider. And then made a new film to reflect the new stupid title. It's a formula that only produces horrible films, but for some reason we kept using it.

    • Earl: He hates calling people his friends. Dude's got issues.

    • Greg: You know I'm terminally awkward and I have a face like a little groundhog. I just feel like, you know, for a kid like me in high school best case scenario, just survive. You know? Survive without creating any mortal enemies or hideously embarassing yourself forever.
