When man thinks, God laughs. Thinking about too many serious issues at a young age is not necessarily a good thing. Just like the middle school student George in the movie, he thinks about some unreasonable issues all day long, such as people are always mortal, and there is no point in doing anything, except painting. I don't want to do anything other than that, so I owe a lot of homework. George is introverted, autistic, sensitive, unconfident, independent, and has few friends in school. Fortunately, he met Sally by accident. Sally has few friends soon after moving in, and became friends because of George's righteousness. Love, the two secretly fell in love, but because of the influence of an open mother, Sally did not believe in love, and the introverted George was not only unable to express his true feelings, but also did not have the courage to express his feelings. Sally's relationship was messed up, I didn't answer Sally's phone calls, ignored Sally, and I was so anxious to death by George out of identification with the protagonist. In fact, a simple sentence is enough to save the relationship. Of course, people are not sages and cannot be without flaws. Characters with distinct advantages and disadvantages are more real and lovely. There will be many unpleasantness in all aspects of life, including love, and the most important thing is to learn to understand and re-understand yourself in adversity. Own. Facing the backlog of homework for more than a year and his beloved Sally, George did it, and finally it was a happy ending. It's just that Sally, who drew the art work at the end, really can't compliment her. Well, maybe I don't know how to appreciate it.
The film is a little sad but the result is beautiful. Director Gavin Wesson's skills are also good. The starring Freddie Highmore and Emma Roberts have real and natural acting skills. The beautiful Emma is very eye-catching and the soundtrack is also very good. In short, this kind of warm love sketch is quite easy to like.

The Art of Getting By quotes

  • George Zinavoy: I'm sorry, I ruined your night.

    Sally Howe: No, I'm sorry. I lost you. I didn't keep my promise.

  • Dustin: Women like being desired. Just throw her up against a wall and start kissing her. Chances are she'll kiss you back, and if she doesn't, at least you tried. You've got to do something or else you'll lose her.
