When I passed by your world that summer since we went to school, it may not be difficult to make a friend, but it may not be easy to make a friend seriously. If every teenager has a small world of his own in his heart, then sharing his own world with others or entering the inner world of others is a matter of fate. To put it in a big saying, one needs one. Opportunity to meet. And this movie tells us a story that happened between three young people under an opportunity that is not an opportunity. This adaptation of "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" from the novel of the same name, the author of the novel is the adaptation of the film. First of all, such a long film name continues to be used, and it is rare in youth films. However, as a movie about young people, such a name is not obtrusive. The first impression of the audience straightforwardly is the friendship between the protagonist "I" and Earl, and the story between "I" and a dying girl. Neither the director nor the screenwriter here sublimated the story to the philosophy of life, or attributed this experience to a meaning of existence, but only gave us a clue about the relationship chain between several young people. The whole movie revolves around the protagonist Greg, opening up the world of three young people for us. Perhaps a 17-year-old young man is often an incomprehensible and weird world for adults. It is not so much that we can hardly imagine and understand their world, as it is often that we "open it in the wrong way." And director Alfonso Gomez-Rejon, with his feature-length debut, showed us the daily and inner worlds of several North American high school students in the most relaxed and joyful way from the inside to the outside. Start with the male protagonist, the 17-year-old boy who entered the final year of high school. The campus in his eyes is like a mixture of a zoo and a vegetable market. He maintains the most basic social interaction with everyone in different clubs. When he has nowhere to hide, he has to work with his only "friend" Earl in the "Tattoo Emperor". "History teacher’s office takes a lunch break. For him, the girls suddenly shouldered "Say , It is a bolt from the blue. When Greg began to slowly enter Rachel’s world, because he entered Rachel’s world passively at first, his perspective on things does not have any purpose, no blind emotional needs, no deliberate ingratiation, but can be unburdened. Get along with Rachel. The first impression of Rachel in his eyes was a classmate of the same grade with countless pillows in the room. They watch movies together, chat together, and relieve stress together. Until they talked about the future, Greg's mother gave him a book equivalent to the yellow pages of a university. Thinking that his future lies in it, he should make a good selection and decide his own direction. For Greg, how could his future be in this book. In Rachel's view, she has a terminal illness. In the future that is about to disappear, where is her future. Before the audience knew it, the film once again raised a thorny issue facing young people today. And this question has completely different thinking for the two characters. The final release of the film is also extremely clever. I believe it is also the reason why this film won the Jury Award and Audience Choice Award at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in the United States. This means that no matter what level of viewers are paying for this movie. At the end of the story, Rachel turned into a struggling little squirrel, hiding in every small corner of the wallpaper in her room. Only those who know her can see her weak and unique footsteps. And in every book she has read, she also left her own world. Perhaps books are a future choice for a 17-year-old child, but for Rachel who is about to disappear, this is also a current world, about her inner world and the beautiful friendship she has. And Greg took away the sexy purple fluffy pillow from Rachel's room, which was a testimony of the beginning of their friendship. As Greg said at the beginning of his own account, Rachel did not disappear from this world in the end. Although Rachel passed away ten hours after watching the movie he shot. The world of these two young people goes from being unfamiliar to intersecting, to quarreling with each other, to resonance in the heart. Finally, a part of one person enters another person's heart, even affects his future, opens up his future, this kind of relationship is even greater than friendship. And Greg will always take part of Rachel to live on, as will Earl. In fact, entering a person’s world is not that simple, nor is it that difficult. Last talk That, after watching it, people will die. From resisting to shoot a short film for Rachel, Greg began to shoot, to feel that what he was shooting was all rubbish, and finally, on the prom day, wearing a suit and leather shoes, sitting in the extended version of Lincoln did not go to the prom, but drove. Went to the hospital to visit Rachel. His friendship with Rachel is no longer a forced acquaintance, awkward ridicule, and unprovoked quarrel, but a real mutual understanding and emotional communication. In his short film, the close-up slow-motion of the characters in the first half is the people around Rachel, including the single mother, Earl and herself. From an angle that Rachel has not seen before, the black-and-white slow-motion, close-up shows everyone's state, so The iconic character dynamics and expressions are fascinating. The color splicing animation in the second half seems to turn the imagination in the minds of young people into an abstract world of candy colors. Some people think that this is an imitation of Wes Anderson's approach, but it's not exactly the case. The magnificent animation technique is not the first of Wes Anderson, and not all stop motion animations are in the style of Webster. At the end of the film, as Rachel's eyes widened, watching the colorful projection screen intently, and gradually moving towards another world, Greg was sad. He walked out of the ward, and all the audience fell into tears. The first three-quarters of the film are used to tell interesting stories about youth. It seems that at that age when I don't know the sadness, what I remember is full of embarrassing and funny memories. In the end, Greg was relieved of Rachel’s departure. After being recommended by Rachel again, when he was given the opportunity to submit his short film work, he sealed the short film he shot for Rachel and attached a note and wrote: "Have seen The people of this movie will die.” And the movie comes to an abrupt end here. This movie may become the most popular youth-themed movie this year, a vivid show of the world of young people and the cross-relationship between the world of young people. It's true without losing interest, and warm and unpretentious. It is indeed another masterpiece of the studio after "Juneo" and "500 Days of Summer with Me".
