Movie L"altra metal gear.
I cried so hard. best movie I"ve seen in a long ass time let me tell u
1:36 she"s a good kisser no doubt. Worth watching ??. The ancient Greek story was soul of the movie. very touchy. English subtiles please. I loved this movie because it really sets the tone for high school that lot of people experience. By the end of the movie it feels like its the end of phase 1, the characters are branching off and getting ready to step foot into the real world, the next chapter of their lives. While I would love a sequel, this movie feels complete to me. Why do we like the story of an underdog? Why did we root for David when he was battling Goliath? Why did we jump out of our chairs in jubilation when Bong Joon-ho grabbed an Oscar for his film? It"s not because we underestimated the ability of any of these people but because the society has painted a picture in front of us in which all these characters are misfits. They are misfit because we have always been taught about an ideal world with perfect strokes. Noone ever taught us that being vulnerable is also a part of an ideal world or going through a metamorphosis is perfectly an organic aspect of the very same ideal world. Yet, anything that is less than ideal is considered a misfit in today"s world. The Half Of It is a story of one such young girl metamorphosing from a misfit to an impressive individualist person.
Set in a fictional town Squahamish, The Half Of It is a coming-of-age story of Elli Chu (Leah Lewis) a dorky nerd who supports her father by carrying out most of his duties as a station master and signalman. She is the smartest kid in the class and does assignments for her classmates (for additional income) with the motto "it"s an A, or you don"t pay." Life presents a conundrum to Chu when her classmate Paul Munsky (Daniel Diemer) offers to pay a premium price if she helps him write a love letter to his crush Aster Flores (Alexxis Lemire. What begins as a singular assignment turns into a series of back-and-forth exchanges between Flores and Chu resulting in an honest albeit unusual friendship between Munsky & Chu and Chu"s embracing of her own sexuality when she publicly acknowledges her feelings for Flores.
Lewis has done an immaculate job portraying a shy, lonely teenager who is busy fulfilling one responsibility after another. On the other side of the loneliness spectrum is Lemire, who has a lovely and calm presence and plays the role of the prettiest & nicest girl in school. Completing the trio is Diemer, who according to me, has given a remarkable performance of playing a clumsy and awkward yet lovable character. It is commendable how well the casting team has picked such a diverse set of talented young actors to deliver a heart-warming performance.
Every song, movie, story has a best part & if I had to pick the best part of this movie, it would be Alice Wu, the director, producer, and writer of this film. This is Wu"s second film after Saving Face - which made everyone take a note of her back in 2005. Her ability to convey the crux of the film by weaving intelligent symbolism and dialogues is marvelous. The movie begins with an animation and you see various scenes throughout the movie that link back to the beginning animation. From the chatnames in ghost messenger to showing a scene from a Bollywood film, every aspect of this movie is well thought out and crafted for a reason. Every director wishes to convey a message in their films but there is a thin line of perfection between underselling and overdoing and Alice Wu, according to me, gets it right! How we wish we get to see more of Wu"s films?
The climax of the movie made me realize why we root for the underdog. It is because all of us have been an underdog in our own lives at some point. All of us have been through the painful process of transformation that made us doubt if we would ever fit in. only to realize we were never meant to "fit in. We were meant to stand out and design our own journey; and have faith that, at some point, life will make us meet our own Paul Munsky or Aster Flores. or both.
I honestly just came here to figure out what the song in the background is and i still havent found it ??. The song that plays when they kiss is so touching. Can anyone tell me the name of the humming song that starts at 0:59. And for this. she deserves her own masterclass lol. Ellie was so pretty in a simple way??♥??. U have za Fwench aqcent. Leah has a boyfriend OUCH MY HEART (good for her tho. After watching this movie, it makes me wish it was a series. We need a sequel. Best Friends Challenge Bruh, Netflix stocks are so stonks that they doing any contents and it looks positive ??.
This should have been a series
It"s different, it"s simple, and it"s good. The few characters that the writers chose to go with evolved beautifully throughout the picture. With many well written dialogues and a few cheeky comedy scenes, this movie is really worth a watch.
The best thing about this movie is that you can actually understand all the characters" motivations, being that they aren"t dumb like in other movies of this genre. they"re very human and even the love interest was showed to the public in a different lighting, because her personality was what brought life to the story. I need a sequel ??. My inner gayness is doing merengue ???? lol. Next time bring all of the cast, not just half.
Amazing movie but c"m on, this is the only kissing scene. I really loved this movie, Netflix! Asian representation ?????????? and it wasnt really cheesy in my opinion. It was thoughtful and intentional, which I really appreciated. “Is This Really the boldest Stroke you can make?”. I was so shocked upon this sceneeee omg i thought “oh, theyre gonna hug” but damnnnnnnnn THIS IS GONNA BE MY SECOND FAVOURITE MOVIE I CALLED ITT. Aster. moves closer * Ellie: visible gay panic. Movie is masterpiece and this break down adds another great dimension to it. Movie L"altra meta search. Backed by strong acting and music, this movie is a must see, not just as a romcom, but it deals with issues in life realistically.
Ellie emerges as the strongest protagonist, embracing her true identity, but the other actors also performed very well and gives the characters a lot of color.
Some critics disagreed with the conclusion but I feel that the story is very grounded and reflects what the real world is. Issues are more complicated and its not a happily ever after ending. Its an ending that gives a sweet after taste to your mind. Great work.
Movie L"altra meta data. Movie L"altra metal. “I can probably quote the entire show of the office” Same. It was like April 18 or 20 when I first saw this on the coming soon, and I said to myself that this will be a hit. I waited days for thisss.
