What we know about ourselves and others

It was an unexpected joy to see this film. It was a comedy written in the genre, but it made me cry uncontrollably in the last 20 minutes. It is repeated in the film that Rachel will not leave, such a cute girl will continue to live. But when Greg made the video and showed it to Rachel in the end, Rachel could only express her inner feelings with her wide eyes and constant tears in the hospital bed. When the two looked at each other, all the words were unnecessary. Although I could not fully understand the meaning of the short film, I still felt a deep sadness. I don't doubt that Rachel left with happiness and satisfaction, but there are still infinite attachments and regrets. It’s just that I really want to say, I was so miserable to be deceived!

Living in this world, we always hope to constantly understand ourselves, understand the world, understand others, understand and understand... and everything is just that we want to meet someone, an existence that makes us no longer so lonely People in this world. I remember once seeing a passage like "Everyone is lonely. In our life, it is not rare to meet love and sex, but to meet understanding is rare." The more hopeful but the more disappointed, then we Invented words such as tolerance, patience, etc. to escape my pain.

The shaping of Gerg's image always feels like each of us. We always feel that we are full of quirks in a certain corner of our heart, incompatible with this world, do not want to interact with people, look down on or cannot climb high, we are engaged in complicated and complicated Things are boring, but many people around you keep telling you what you need to do. This is a state, the darkest inner side. I can't get rid of it, and I am unwilling to tell others vaguely, as if I don't say that this state doesn't exist anymore. This is the self we know, the self who is afraid of being known but desperately eager to be rescued.

Gerg was lucky to meet Earl, the partner who was always by his side and didn't want to break everything. Even though his face was ruthlessly noisy, he couldn't see you being bullied. More importantly, I met Rachel. As Earl said, this is a patient girl who seems to be very lucky compared to her. Rachel opened up Gerg's heart and was forced to share her unknown world semi-voluntarily. Rachel said that everything Gerg did was forced, but as bystanders, all of us would know how could we go so deeply if it were not voluntary. Gerg is unfortunate. He met his understanding in life, but had to lose her. From the beginning, he knew that they were getting along in a countdown way. This movie, originally a youth film, has one of the heaviest topics in life: death. Even if there is hope in the end, we can continue to understand her after the death of others.

For the film, the plot tells stories that have never been exaggerated, and they describe cute people who are not perfect and have some quirks. The shaky feeling of hand-held shooting in the lens, those somewhat rough props, the kind of hazy but infinitely beautiful lighting, and the design of the bedroom all increased my irresistible favorability for this film. Not to mention the fascinating soundtrack that makes people fall into the plot.

Although some people have things that are only a moment of beauty, they are enough to warm our lives.

    Is it to form the Pittsburgh Youth Trilogy with "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" and "The Fault in the Stars"? The many fans of self-made movies are probably the main reason for the popularity of the critics? Several supporting roles are quite grabbing the show, and Olivia Cooke is also very clever. Putting it on the top card of Sundance feels a bit famous and difficult to match, but it is indeed a heartwarming and surprising YA work.

    Emotional nature and formal design are mixed together, it feels a little awkward and uncomfortable, but youth is nothing more than a little hypocritical and a little sincere. The first half was too clever and a little out of control. In the absence of a strong echo in the later process, it was completely dissipated and unstoppable, and it fell back to the cheap sensational mode, focusing on fans and tributes! The selection of a large number of Brian Eno and the piano theme of "Dialogue" is the biggest highlight of the whole film.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl quotes

  • Earl: Like you care so much about what other people think, boy, you go around here kissing everybody's ass pretending like they're your friend. Look, nobody gives a shit about you, Greg! All right? Nobody gives a shit.

  • Earl: It's just crazy how patient you've been. You know, I know if it was me that had cancer, uh... I'd be upset and angry and trying to beat everybody's ass half the time. So I'm just, I'm just amazed at how patient you've been. You, you make me feel blessed.
