Episode 70 – This Is The Half Of It

The Half Of It

Today we are talking about The Half of It, the Alice Wu film about a smart but broke teenager, Ellie Chu, who agrees to help a jock get closer to a girl he has a crush on. She doesn’t expect it but she falls for her also.

Movie Quote: Ellie Chu: Gravity is matter’s response to loneliness.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:

• A classic Cyrano de Bergerac tale
• The writer/director based this on a friend relationship she had in college
• It includes a Powells reference
• The tone that is set with the lighting
• Multiple mediums used to tell the story
• Minor issues with the cell phone use but overall creative incorporation of them

Next week’s film will be Wild Night with Emily (2018) available on Hulu
