As an Asian-American guy who lived just 10 min from Fremont and was a teen in the late 2000s, this movie HIT HOME. Haven't heard or seen so many sounds, songs or bands that I was so accustomed to in my daily life before. The Aim logging off, sending messages, The Starting Line/Paramore/Motion Citysoundtrack/HelloGoodBye songs, transition from MySpace to Facebook... legit felt like I watched my own life on the big screen
As a white kid in Houston who was Didi’s age in 2008, this film HIT home. From the music basically ripped off my iPod to all the awkward situations to even stalking a girls MySpace to pretend you like what she likes.
it honestly resonates with our entire generation that grew up in that era, used those technologies, held that mentality, coming of age being miniorties and all. I personally grew up in the south but i can relate to this so much
Seans Summer 08 was almost the same as my Summer 2012. Never was more comfortable than when I was out skating with my friends getting some footy and sneaking bottles into McDonald's to fill them up with blue Powerade. We'd skate for hours at what we called "The Berrics" right in the pavilion in White Plains. Just a few videos and pics exist from that summer for me so this is the closest thing I can hold onto. Chris's mother saying "sometimes its hard" was the line that got the tear to roll down. My favorite part is that in the end, not everything works out for Wangwang but he continues with his first day and tries new things. Cool to see that things worked out for him. FOR MOM ❤
Just saw this film tonight. This hit home for the era so well. While set in '08, it felt like my high school era of 2000 to 2004. Seeing a Well Curated MySpace page with soundtrack (those who know, Madi put work on her page). Where the director really hits home is the authenticity of the relationships and the frailty of it all. Deep bonds broken over maintaining popularity. The depression and isolation that happens over loss of relationships. The breakdowns that happens within family's. This is my modern day stand by me
I thought I recognized Nai Nai from your doc! 🥰 This film made me laugh so hard, then leave crying - 13 is so hard! Can’t wait to see more from this director. Beautiful film!!!!
The park scenes were filmed across the street from me, where there was a beautiful willow tree and the the hills in the background. Sadly they cut that tree down this winter, I think because of the rain and risks of it breaking. There was a lot of focus on filming this willow tree so I presume it will be featured heavily.
I grew up when that park was a field..may or may not know how the hay bales burned..but kids started skating down starlite way in the 70s and still skate a bit..it was the park of coming of age..I can't wait to see it represented..I taught my daughter to skate there but it was not her thing like it was mine in the 80s..I used to watch the kids after me keep it going.. My daughter spent most summers being emo and moody in that park on the swings all through the 2000s. And the directors mom and Grandma went to the same nail salon me and my mom and daughter went to.. I watched them film.. Really looking forward to this
Looking forward to watching this one day. Also, congrats to Sean for Oscar nom for Nai Nai and Wai Po! Their reaction vid to hearing that news was super sweet. Look forward to seeing that one on Disney+. In February, right?
DIDI one of the greatest movies of all time literally the acting n the realism in this movie n relating makes it all the more better Great movie 10/10 hands down
This movie reminds me of my friend Ben Baller! Yes Ben Baller did the chain.. reminds me of him when we rode with our bike club called Cocky Ridaz.. we were wild

Yeah, growing up around that time, they nailed the vibe.

This film relates to my upbringing big time. Glad this was made.
