——"Me and Earl and the Dying Girl"
As the title describes, the story of the movie mainly focuses on three people, I, the protagonist Greg, is a movie fan, a patient with adolescent syndrome, and some autistic and neurotic , on the surface, it seems to maintain various relationships with classmates in various circles, but in fact there are no friends. Earl (Earl) is the only best friend, but he has always been called "coworker" because they always eat together and make movies.
The dying girl was Rachel, who was diagnosed with leukemia this summer. In order to take this opportunity to let Greg open up a bit, Greg couldn't resist all kinds of unprovoked encouragement or begging from his mother, so he bit the bullet and started to greet and get to know the girl Rachel with the impression of a nodding friend.
Of course, they eventually became good friends, and in the process of getting along, Greg gradually gained a lot of self-knowledge and changes. From Greg's point of view, this is actually a process of self-baptism.
I don't know if you still remember your own mental state during your adolescence. In this movie, Greg's character, the kind of self-loathing and disgust around the world, I personally think it portrays very vividly.
A very interesting setting of the movie is that Greg and Earl are both super movie fans, and a lot of movie fans are also included in the movie. Greg and Earl have remade a lot of classic movies together, and they are basically very personal. Movies - "A Clockwork Orange", "2001 A Space Odyssey", "Rashomon", "Apocalypse Now", as well as the "Four Hundred Strikes" that they all love repeatedly in various forms in the movie .
It still feels pretty cool.
The movie unfolds the screen from the first-person perspective of "I", and also has a large number of voiceover monologues of "I". I have always been very fond of such movies.
What's more, the story told in this movie is more expensive in one word - "true". Although the plot of the entire film is based on a heroine suffering from leukemia, the story focuses more on the changes in the relationship between Greg and Rachel. But the movie doesn't have the "dog blood" in the youth movies you think, neither does it set up a love between them, nor does it make some sensational things when Rachel dies.
This is very innovative. Although the movie is a little less dramatic, the emotional ups and downs are not much provoked. Only at the end of the movie, I switch to Rachel's perspective, which is a little moving. But it is this common and interesting expression that is most valuable.
I like a scene in this movie very much. Greg and Earl accidentally ingested some "prohibited drugs". The two of them were psychedelic and nervous. They came to Rachel in confusion, and then the three of them were biting popsicles and sitting on the stone stairs by the roadside. On the zi li zi li.
I think this picture is great. Two neurotic teenagers with various hallucinations and a girl who is about to die are sitting and chatting and joking casually, so unscrupulous and carefree. Although there are so many unknowns and growing troubles in the future, life and death are about to happen, I still feel that this moment has a very youthful and beautiful feeling.
