know that there is

The film is very artistic as a whole. It does not try to discuss any serious issues in detail. The narration method is very natural. It just tells the youth stories of the three people in such a shallow way. There is no slot in the whole process, and it is very comfortable to watch.

"The people of Sri Lanka are like rainbows, and when they meet above, they know what they are." There is no doubt about the beauty of soul collision. A very common form is love, but we often have too many settings: height, appearance, figure, career, family, appearance or personality in other people's mouths... Many of them may often become obstacles for us to approach a soul. I've tried to get over this and just feel a person, but it never occurred to me that I've been adding a gender filter to my invisible journey.

Just like Aster said in the movie "I rarely talk to girls and don't talk to boys", I will also have some fixed topics for girls: emotions, makeup, skin care, entertainment, gossip, and fixed topics for boys: house, stocks. For a more in-depth topic, I will discuss women's growth with women, and men will discuss ideals, but there are still obvious differences. I don't know much about girls who read and think like me. Maybe I have never "tested" girls. I don't know much about boys who are as sensitive and imaginative as me. Maybe I don't want boys to see me as "girls just think too much". I naturally never imagined that I would fall in love with someone of the same sex, or that my soul mate might be a girl. In short, gender differences exist most of the time, but I don't need to distinguish them everywhere.

"Like a person, it can be that he doesn't have to make any changes." For example, Ellie doesn't love Paul. Of course, I want him to be healthier and happier, to do what he wants to do, to live the life he wants to live, these are some of my personal good expectations, but I don't need him to change the things that make him him.

Also liked the many expressions and quotes in it. "Hell is others", loneliness may not be shameful.

    People can't catch up with the train, but do you think the boy who chases the train for the girl you love is stupid? No, you are actually very moved. Love starts with deceiving yourself and ends with deceiving others. In the beginning, you always have to convince yourself to believe in something and do something that you wouldn't normally do. It's messy and stupid, but there is no doubt that it's also very Brave.

    Compared with sixteen years ago, teenage love is a little more complicated and mature. The big triangle of this "dog blood" is quite interesting. BTW, there are so few straight guys that are subtle and funny.

The Half of It quotes

  • Ellie Chu: I'm Ellie Chu.

    Aster Flores: Yes, I know. You've only been playing my dad's services every Sunday for, like, four years. You're his favorite heathen. He can't handle mediocre accompanists, even if they ARE saved.

  • Ellie Chu: The good thing about being different is that no one expects you to be like them.
