The lost youth, the unforgettable love

The emotion between people is a very wonderful thing. Every encounter is a wonderful fate that cannot be found. Some people bring sadness, some people bring happiness, some people bring separation, some people bring happiness. People bring growth. The people around you may go away soon, and the people in the distance are waiting to meet, leaving indelible and profound memories.


This is the youth memory story of a 17-year-old boy, Greg. He claims that this is a suck film, and the plot is just like the 42 films he has made. In the ordinary details, the most delicate emotions in the heart are excavated, silent but affectionate.

Greg is a cheerful boy who seems to be good at socializing. He is mixed in the school circles large and small, and maintains a good relationship with everyone. In reality, he's an introverted boy who hates himself and abandons himself. Except for Earl, who he calls his colleague, everyone else is not a friend. He just wants to be an invisible man who doesn't make enemies. From the bottom of his heart, Greg is afraid of socializing and hates talking to unfamiliar people, so he never admits that he has "friends" until he meets Rachel, a dying girl.

Under the pressure of his mother, Greg passively contacted Rachel, wanting to give the girl who was about to die one last bit of warmth. Do something, even though Rachel resisted him, believing he was sympathetic to her and rejected his good intentions, he still tried. From the first time the two were embarrassed and dull looking for topics, they gradually talked about everything.

It seems that Greg has paid a lot for Rachel. He spent half a year accompanying Rachel, shooting movies for her, making her happy, etc... But in fact, it was Rachel who helped Greg dare to face himself.

Greg didn't actually know Rachel until she died, and he didn't really enter her inner world. Rachel had always known Greg, she knew who he was and what he needed. Rachel really changed him, let him stop pretending to be an invisible person, dare to express, dare to fight like a man, and dare to face his heart.

When Greg finally stood in Rachel's room and looked at the room he had been to countless times, he suddenly discovered the delicate emotions of the last details, the gentle and fresh trickle of the girls. From the little squirrel jumping on the leaf wallpaper, to the secret hidden in the book, and finally to the large and small scissors on the wall, he smiled. He finally understood her, but it was after her death. . .

Everyone's 17-year-old memory is different, bitter, sweet, painful, rebellious and so on. The friendship at the age of 17 is as fresh and soft as the spring breeze, sincere and heartbreaking.

These sweet and sad past events will accompany youth and old age, and the once pure and flawless emotions will always be treasured in my heart.

    There was a girl who couldn't get out of bed with cancer and wanted to see the snow. I got hundreds of thousands of traffic through publicity, and got official recommendations with Zhihu operators, and finally collected snow scenes all over the world. I know that there are good people in so many traffic, and there must be people with various motives. Those who are superficial and kind are suspicious of hype behind their existence, and they want to take the opportunity to pretend to be forced by me and then scold me. I also know that so much traffic ends up being only 1 in 1,000. But I still do it because the people who ask me for help trust me with the gentle kindness that I have always held on to. At that time, I had one and only one purpose: to promote as much as possible, and to figure out all the details, so that I could live perfectly and tenderly, otherwise it would be false tenderness. I no longer believe in hot kindness, only rational vision and responsibility can be good. No money to pay attention, no compliments. I return to everyone who says thank you, I thank you for the girl. I didn't even post it in a personal column that can be commemorated, but in the film review column that I follow the most and the public. I'd rather it go away after the fact. It was as if that girl eventually died too. But before she died, through the screen, she saw the snow scene I found for her.

    There is a feeling that touches the soul, the splendor of meteors passing through the starry sky and the longing of the curtain finally coming to an end.

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.
