The director saves most of the writing on the triangle, and the performance of the three actors makes a perfect trio for the whole movie, especially Lewis. Leah Lewis was brought back to Orlando from Shanghai when she was six months old by a Florida couple, and her real estate agent's parents later adopted her sister Lydia from the same orphanage. She has loved performing since she was a child, and refuses to play her role as a stereotyped nerd. She is gentle and firm, playing her own melody. Through her restrained personality and hoarse voice, she can feel the hidden power and finally inspire She went to the university of her choice. What is also novel is that the director shows us another possibility of friendship under the framework of LGBT themes. LGBT roles are no longer limited to gay honey beside the heroine in traditional high school dramas or act as comedy elements. As far as I am concerned, the film None of the portrayal of love in the book is as engaging or sincere as the friendship between Ellie and Paul. Perhaps, the future of LGBT cinema will not be so smooth, but the brave step taken by "The Half Of It" must have its meaning.
