I think at the end of the movie-- when she sees that he is running after her on the train--- just like that movie--- i think this is when she realizes that-- he is her BEST FRIEND..
"even in her own mind, she's not the main character. she's just existing." this is so powerful. Ellie is just so selfless and such a good portrayal of any Asian trying to get through life as someone who looks different than others around them, because of our heritage and culture too. i know i grew up "existing" too.
*One of the reasons why this movie made an impact to a lot of people, she made Ellie so relatable. It's not just being different but thinking that we are not the protagonist of our own story but this movie changed that perspective and gives the viewers hope.*
@@coramarie619 and i think you're adorable but i believe that anyone should feel like the main character of their own story, the main character of their own life. we need to know our value and embrace ourselves because we are gorgeous and unique human beings. ♥️
True but there was character development in the movie. As a movie, it was perfect, it was sweet, realistic and gripping. But omg, there should totally be a sequel.
kemmy okolo Ellie used the bold stroke reference for Aster because she knew Aster was into art. The meaning behind her rhetorical question was asking Aster if she was happy with her current life (current painting) of dating a boy acording to how others saw how she should live it. Or if she was bold enough to make that "bold stroke" and go against society's perception and live her life the way she wants to live it (create a better painting metaphor). Ellie wrote that metaphor in one of the letters for the guy friend (whom asked Ellie to write love letters to Aster in exchange for money) to give to Aster. When Ellie quoted the words in church from the letter, Aster knew it was Ellie and that was why she was mad and slapped him. Aster was also disappointed with Ellie because she was not truthful about her feelings because she felt the same for Ellie. Aster was dating a guy to front the fact she liked girls.
It was so delightful chatting with Alice Wu about her writing and directing process! It’s always fun to hear insights straight from the creators themselves :)
I knew I recognized that voice! The Half of It is such a beautiful movie, we need you to give it the full LFTS treatment! I want to hear about the lies each character believes :)
this movie is art. the writing, the cinematography, the acting, especially that animation at the beginning and the scene where aster & ellie went back and forth on that wall. i LOVED it, and applaud alice wu for her work on this.
I also saw ellie chu as someone who kind of pushes her feelings down because yea she sees herself as the side character but once she met paul she was able to kind of express her feelings to aster through him without any of the consequences of putting herself out there. Like she gets to tell aster things as paul that she would never actually tell aster herself and thats why my favorite scene of the movie is when paul and aster went on their second date at the restaurant.
"You're the only person who write that thing, so write that thing. Don't write the thing that somebody else could write." Alice Wu is such a brilliant writer and director. The story is unique but relatable (if that makes sense lol).
I also don't believe a sequel is needed, but if there were one it'd be interesting to have "The Other Half of It" told from Aster's perspective, maybe retracing this story from her point of view or having the events occur after this movie, where she has to deal with her struggle with her family and religion's view on lgbtq etc. I think it would be very interesting.
Dear Netflix I'm a teen and i'm never been there. I'm mean falling in love with someone. But your series or your movies always make me feel like "love is worth to wait" and it's just like this movie. I' mean this movie is worth to have another season or have a series with a lot of eps and season. I still can't move on from this movie. I always want to be an actrees but i never got a change. So let me happy with something just like this. Thank you because you let alice wu to direct a such amazing movie on ur platform. I wish alice could make another movie and series. Thank you for read this. From someone who love your love different stories.
You should believe in love, just don't expect the fairytale kind. Love for your family, love for your friends, even romantic love... They are all flawed, but they are worth it nonetheless.
There's a scene on church at the end...they make a reference to 1 Corinthians 13. It think this quote from the Bible is the most realistic depiction about love, not a "Disneyland" ending. If you really want to wait for love, you have to know that love is all this things. Basically accept the good and the bad.
" _At first glance, 'The Half of It' might look like a typical teen rom com._ " I blame this on the trailer. Thank you, Michael and writer-director Alice Wu, for elaborating the film's opening. Now, I'm actually going to check this out.
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 it’s 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.
I find it interesting that Alice Wu's perspective on visually representing the text messages was that a motion tracked animated graphic would be less likely to date the film. In Bo Burnham's feature 8th Grade, he decided to film the literal phone screen rather than animating graphics because according to him it felt more authentic. Ironically I think Wu's approach dates the film just as much as showing the model of phone due to the fact that it's a pretty popular way to represent text messaging at the moment. I just find it interesting the reasoning behind each filmmakers approach to incorporating phones into the mise en scene.
Alice wu is a genius and The half of it was a masterpiece. I've never seem any coming of age movie which is as beautiful as this. I really hope that we will get the sequel of thoi and get to see the progression between ellie and aster, they're soulmates and they deserve to be with each other tbh.
This film is one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. It is so simple and yet so complex. It doesn’t throw things at you but it makes you think and allows you to form your own thoughts about what is happening!
3:56 "You start to feel like everyone else has this colorful, incredible life and they're off doing incredible things, and yours is just sort of... this unfiltered, boring, life." I've never heard anything so real
Most of the time a lot of people saying films deserve a sequel when it's just fine as it is imo, but I actually agree with you here, this movies would do really well with one
I think a sequel may defeat the purpose of the story, though. It was perfect to see such an open ending for a character that has boxed herself in her own world. And Ellie leaving Aster with a "see you in a couple years" is awesome because we can only then imagine if that ever does happen. (Though, if Alice does choose to do a sequel, I'm sure she'll knock it out of the park)
I really loved this movie, Netflix! Asian representation 😍😍😍🤤🤤 and it wasn’t really cheesy in my opinion. It was thoughtful and intentional, which I really appreciated.
This film is like Ellie Chu, seems like anyone else, but it's pure poetry, so deep and well thought.. It's not another rom com, the intensity of each character is amazing.
I love how they added clips from the making of it. those are really candid moments we get to see. Leah, Alice, and Daniel all smiling and laughing, ugh this movie is a masterpiece.
I was so excited to see Alice Wu was directing again. “Saving Face” made me feel seen and understood at a time when I was finding myself. Listening to her talk about every detail here is mesmerizing.
I love this movie, it stayed with me for a long time. How it ended never made me sad, I love how they parted and never felt heaviness about saying goodbyes. I love Paul and Ellie's friendship, and I love how Ellie and Aster parted ways, feeling committed yet free-all promises, no weight
alice, you're so talented. this story was so realistic yet optimistic. many people relate their lives to something that isn't "worthy", but you created a narrative that yes, your life may not seem "perfect", but it is still a good one that can be shared and loved.
Most people think they will be happy and "complete" when they find their "other half" but I tend to disagree. First of all, you are already "whole" and when you find that special someone, he/she will be able to "complement" or add more value to your existence. No one should ever feel they are broken or not complete unless they find someone. Self-actualization, self-love and self-affirmation has to be front and center with you before you try to find someone. When you are ready, your self confidence will give off an aura that will enable that someone to see you as a suitable partner. You are you and no one will be able to complete you. Once you are self-evolved you will walk through this life upright and you will not need people as crutches. Once you find that special someone, he/she will walk along beside and enable all the good qualities you already have to make them shine even more. Not all people you meet will help lift you up or make you shine even more because those are the downers in life. They want to pull you down to their level because they have low self-worth and can not make improvements on themselves. Leave them behind and make room for people that will complement you and help you succeed in all aspect of life.
Coincidence that she made the Name of the protagonist as "Ellie chu " that rhymes so well with her own. I bet the name teasing must be a personal experience. Genius story telling Ms. Wu.
I've been saying since the trailer came out that this should be a series. Not a movie. I wanted to see more Ellie and Aster scenes. I ship them so much!
Alice Wu is Terrific. This movie was Simple and yet at the same time complex and I liked how different things that have to do with the life, Love and relationships of High school students had no need to explain most of if any of it in order to get the Premise of it, and it's in the simplicity that makes it so Beautifully realistic. Congrats! to all involved in this piece of Art!
This movie is a literal masterpiece. I love WLW stories that are happy and deep. This is the best movie Netflix made in quite some time. Thank you again, Alice Wu.
Beautifully made and planned. I definitely am a fan of Ms. Wu's mind. Man, this inspires me to write even more. Lol everybody's demanding a sequel. *Hear us out*
alice wu and her team are truly masterminds. the love they all share for creating art and sending out a wholesome personal message is absolutely touching. adored and loved the movie!! thank you for creating something so lovely for teenagers to relate to (especially the people of colour and LGBT community). didn’t have such wholesome coming-of-age stories i could relate to when i was younger but i’m so glad others do now!!! once again, much love 💕
" you start to feel like everyone else has this like colorful incredible life and they're of doing incredible things. And yours is this sorta like unfiltered boring life. " This n life for me too
I wish Alice Wu makes more movies, Saving Face and The Half of It are my go-to movies. It is nice to venture through your sexuality with these kinds of movies.
1979 growing up in Downey Ca I was the only Mexicano and my friends Calvin Chung and Steve Kawasaki. We created our own thing. We shared our foods which today would be. Mexican Chinese fusion and Mexican and Japanese fusion food. We are alive and well, I was always sent home for speaking spanish. My brothers were from Brazil and Argentina. They hide there spanish. Downey California
I like how this movie gave a realistic ending but still managed to put a smile on my face :)

gaurav974 ikr. that scene was really messy but i loved that line
kemmy okolo i don’t know how to explain it to you. you may just be too young to understand

Alice Wu and her galaxy brain, just WOW.

i dont think thats necessary. the film stands on its own.

Sifi1310 personally I think he was just confused
I can not stop thinking about this movie which is a testament to Alice Wu's skills
Same
LET'S SAY IT TOGETHER!
WE NEED A PART 2!!
(PARTICULARLY IN ASTER'S POINT OF VIEW)
i feel like this movie is so complete without a sequel but a point of view from Aster would be interesting

The Ellie Chu in each and everyone of us. 💛

I related to Ellie so much. Because I was a smart loner too made me feel represented. Tho I'm brown. I'm still Asian so win ❤️❤️❤️
Me brown tooooooo omg but it feel so nice to see non brown characters
I relate to Ellie so such and in so many ways.
me too :)
growing up as an awkward, nerdy asian girl who never felt like the main character in life, this just means so much :'(

I only watched this film for the first time last week, but it’s already one of my all time favourite films. Thank you Alice Wu.
Most people think they will be happy and "complete" when they find their "other half" but I tend to disagree.
First of all, you are already "whole" and when you find that special someone, he/she will be able to "complement" or add more value to your existence. No one should ever feel they are broken or not complete unless they find someone. Self-actualization, self-love and self-affirmation has to be front and center with you before you try to find someone. When you are ready, your self confidence will give off an aura that will enable that someone to see you as a suitable partner.
You are you and no one will be able to complete you. Once you are self-evolved you will walk through this life upright and you will not need people as crutches. Once you find that special someone, he/she will walk along beside and enable all the good qualities you already have to make them shine even more. Not all people you meet will help lift you up or make you shine even more because those are the downers in life. They want to pull you down to their level because they have low self-worth and can not make improvements on themselves. Leave them behind and make room for people that will complement you and help you succeed in all aspect of life.
Movie is masterpiece and this break down adds another great dimension to it.
I love this movie it's so amazing how you feel for every character
