      The Half of It--Love and Friendship Stories in Youth

      First of all, Wu Siwei is God's gift to Asian Jilao! For a single movie, four stars + my favorite theme of a youthful girl + Asian + Wu Siwei = full five stars! ! This is actually a movie that I have been waiting for a long time. Since it was announced last year, I followed the interaction between the actors, read the script, and then announced it step-by-step and finally watched it go live. I am...

      The Half of It--Love Story on Campus

      half-hearted

      Although I can't say that this is a masterpiece that lasts for a long time, the emotion in it is very real and beautiful, and it does not deceive itself or others.

      Speaking of how I felt after reading it, I suddenly realized that a good work will make people let go of the differences in beliefs, forget the preferences of personalities, and ignore the similarities and differences of orientations...

      "Heartfelt Half-Understanding"

      Why do LGBT films that explore the theme of "love" touch the point? The ones I've watched include "Brokeback Mountain", "Farewell My Concubine", "Adele's Life", "Breakthrough", "Black Swan", "Lawrence", "The Wedding Banquet"...

      The story tells that the heroine A helps a boy write a love letter to pursue girl B. With the contact between you, a love triangle is formed (it is complicated anyway). The second half of the story discusses the subtle emotional...

      love and choice

      I am still willing to see this film as a youth film, with handsome guys and beauties, your love and my love, accompanied by singing and dancing. What the film has to tell us is rich and deep, but the form of the film seems a little ironically old and clichéd. The director has been preparing for this movie for 16 years, and perhaps the old part was conceived by her 16 years ago. At that time, perhaps such an opening and such a plot were not too old-fashioned. But if, as the...

      3.5 The determination of adolescence is to turn around and give a kiss to the girl. I don’t dare to say more, but I hope to see each other again. I will understand and grow. I am moved by the boy chasing the train excitedly. She clearly doesn’t like it or smiles tears. Wu Siwei's script is valuable because of the many details of the campus background. Boys, girls, athletes and bookworms, lonely school girls and humble pursuits, each character has a wonderful opportunity to...

      It’s really half-understood, half Sartre and half Wilde. At the beginning, it said that human beings are two-faced people. They were taken apart by God and it took a lot of time to find the other half. The girls are lying on their backs on the water, half of their faces are reflected in the water and the other half is reflected in the water, which probably means that no matter whether the other half is male or female, you are independent and self-contained. It's a very unique youth film. If you...

      This story fully proves that an interesting soul can not only eliminate appearance prejudice, but also transcend sexual orientation, so whether it is love or friendship, interesting talents have long-term attraction; the three-person relationship structure is good, and some new ideas are shot within the framework of the routine - But what does Asian identity have to do with...

      The plot is really embarrassing I haven't even touched the phone of my dating partner. I haven't realized that the person I've been texting with may be someone else. Racial discrimination is not the most terrible thing. The most terrible thing is that the stereotype that the Chinese give themselves is full of malice. God knows what Director Wu has experienced in the past ten...

    Evaluation action

    The story and character configuration of the film seem to be a clichéd American college youth love story, but in fact, the youth romance is the least important part of the film's story. The three characters who sound like a cliché are also quite realistic and full. In addition to the American-style plot and details, in terms of atmosphere, the film is closer to an Asian youth film: sentimental, subtle, light and delicate   . (The Paper...

      Ellie Chu: Really?

      Paul Munsky: Yeah. I fell asleep a few times, but I'm still reading it. That's gotta count for something.
