We are all trapped, but thankfully we can redeem each other and finally be freed.

"Let's talk about the three protagonists first" My favorite is Paul, who treats everyone with simplicity, cuteness and sincerity, treating his dead grandmother and mother, treating taco sausages, treating Ellie's father, and treating two girls. Also liked the dialogue between Paul and Ellie's father. The two heroines have a little bit of paper, one has a beautiful skin but hopes to be discovered as a "popular person" with a deeper soul, an Asian girl who looks like a nerd but is actually hot and interesting inside, many There are still some stereotypes left. "Let's talk about the episodes that I don't like." It's a little thin to write a letter to follow up. It's hard to say why aster likes/is interested in ellie, because he has been recognized by ellie? "I feel that someone understands me for the first time" is always a strange feeling... Maybe this feeling of loneliness is something I can't understand... Is the church part a little bit stretched? It seems that the climax has not yet been reached, and the experience and analysis of self-identification and love from the heart has turned into a lame poem, or the carriage-return poem of Jia Pingwa's daughter. It's very cute, but it doesn't have the kind of shock that directly hits the heart. After seeing it, I forget it. "Finally talk about what you like" "Love is willing to destroy one's own good painting in exchange for the opportunity to have a great work. Is this really the most daring stroke you can draw?" This line likes the whole film very much Lovely, Paul is very cute, I like the last part of Paul chasing the train-he finally understands that love is not pretending, love can be just being yourself We are all trapped, but fortunately we can redeem each other and finally be freed.

    The final monologue in the church brought tears to my eyes. It's not who you love or who you're with. In fact, these are not important, but gradually learn what love is, and if you know how to love, people will grow along with them. Not only the heroine, but also the boy and the school girl also understand what love is in the process. A very comfortable youth film, although there are many familiar shadows from previous films in terms of plot settings and character settings, but on this basis, many interesting breakthroughs have been made. The depiction of emotions is very delicate, and the funny places are also very funny. In a sense, they are also internet universities. I think of another internet university that went online today.

    Campus Love Saint... What's the name? I prefer the translated name of "Youth Unknown". The growth of youth is full of adventure, unknown, courage, and choices. The heroine is helping the hero pursue the girl. I also gradually saw the other side of myself. The film is very delicate. One flower is one world. The heroine lives in a small town but has the same resonance and thinking as everyone's youth. Like someone, it has nothing to do with gender, but it must take courage. However, in the third act of the film, some plots were not well controlled, the role changes were a bit rushed, the emotions were not in place, and the preaching was aggravated.

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.
