With the live-action diary-style comic "Fuck off! Similar to "Tumor Guy", "Me and Earl and the Dying Girl" is based on the novel of the terminally ill girl's story. The original author also became the screenwriter of the film. Comparing the two, the former is scum.
I really like the way of photography, full of freedom and emotion.
For example, in a long shot, when the mother persuaded the male protagonist to visit the terminally ill girl, the camera passed through various spaces in the house, pushed from the front of the character to the back, from a low perspective to a high perspective, and pulled from the back to the opposite. The part where the male protagonist rolls on the ground and enters the door, cleverly and humorously expresses the reluctance of the male protagonist. There is also a long-lens close-up of the girl's bald head, which is converted from different angles. When crossing the screen, the audience can substitute the perspective of the male protagonist lying on one side of the bed.
There are also many spoof posters for classic movies, which are creative and playful. This collection-like 3-second classic parody is a comedic interpretation of the classic plot of an old movie. I really like the part of "The Seventh Seal" where the robe is tossed.
What is more memorable is the richness of lens language. For example, the relationship between the male protagonist and the terminally ill girl, from the distance between the upper and lower ends of the stairs, to being on the same plane in a room. During the period, the relationship between the two also changed in various ways, from sitting and chatting in the chairs facing each other, to watching movies side by side on the single sofa chairs, until the end of the film, the two of them were lying on the girl's hospital bed and watching the short film made by the boy. , while the boy was kicked out of the ward because the girl needed first aid. From the two strangers getting along, to the separation of life and death, there were no turbulent tears, no crying and noise, the distance in the camera explained everything. The content in the shots is very layered, the young people's small hypocrisy, the harmony of casual conversations, and the unconscious harm in the contradictions are all detailed and real.
Another interesting scene is that the male protagonist has the effect of taking medicine during the exam, the desk and chair classmates move in parallel like a stage play, and the 3D basic friends appear, which is imaginative and novel.
There is also an interesting shot. Generally, the characters in the close-up move back and forth, and the focal length of the lens will change accordingly. In the film, it is in a fixed focus state, and the male protagonist leans towards the lens and gradually becomes clear. The director gave the characters life-like lines, and the camera gave information that the language did not have. The whole is subtle and jumping, beautiful and fresh.
There are also many interesting props in the movie, such as a sexy pillow with a hint of wretchedness, a squirrel painting that reveals the girl's rebelliousness, and a book sculpture that hides friendship and love. Small objects tell too many stories in place of characters. In the end, the emotional outburst of the male protagonist starts from a small card, and begins to recall and release the emotional release of the lost girl in the shiny little scissors.
The same is about death and irretrievable life. This film does not express optimism deliberately (this is the failure of "Fuck! Tumor King"), nor does it heavily render death. Starting from the girl's first aid, it's all the male protagonist's lines that deduce the result of death, and there is a picture of a smiling girl and her urn. The director did not shoot death coldly, but presented a sad but not sad tone. But it can also make people feel the sadness of people close to them leaving.
There are more than 40 film directors, but he has photographed the lives and emotions of young people. Cute little tangle, shameful little rascal, vicious verbal attacks, kind friendship and ambiguous little emotions. The details make the plot real, the actors fill the plot, and the photography adds interest and artistic beauty to the film.
