The film is full of the real texture of life, calm and depressed, but with dark emotions. It seems calm, but painful and struggling everywhere. The fallen body, the heart of redemption, they grabbed each other and wanted to save the other themselves. The performances of the two leading actors, Ryan Gosling and Sarika Epps, are very wonderful, which supports the mood of the entire film, making the film convincing and full of tension.
We need self-salvation, but we often can’t save ourselves. We like the meaning of the title, the director’s shaky shots and the way of expressing history, but it’s a pity that many things come to an end, maybe it’s too far away from my life. s reason

    Totally eye-opening. I love that it feels real. The indie production, the talented acting, and the angles of the director's shots are just right.

    Commander High is so handsome, yes, he is still a little thinner and better-looking. In fact, he is just a lonely idealist who can only rely on drugs to numb his disappointed soul.

Half Nelson quotes

  • [from trailer]

    Dan: The sun goes up and then it comes down, but everytime that happens what do you get? You get a new day.

  • Dan: Change moves in spirals, not circles. For example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. But everytime that happens, what do you get? You get a new day. You get a new one. When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do that you're a little bit different then the one before. We're always changing. And its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can.
