When smart but cash-strapped teen Ellie Chu agrees to write a love letter for a jock, she doesn't expect to become his friend - or fall for his crush. - Zábava
I searched for this director after seeing the comments. So Alice Wu got her computer science degree from Stanford, worked for Microsoft, and created her first movie during working. That is the most Asian thing I ever saw.
Wow! Great research! That's pretty Asian American. A brilliant and versatile
She also directed a movie called Saving Face, it's a really good movie!
She also directed Saving Face one of the best (also one of my favorite) lesbian film.
Really? That’s awesome. Kudos to her, mad respect
why are asians so smart, i need to swap my brain with someone asian please
I’m sorry but she’s the definition of “got straight A’s in high school and I didn’t even leave straight” love it.
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAH
HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA
shinto666 it means that she is not straight anymore ( she is a lesbian )
wtf
DEADDD. 😭💀
What's even more enlightening... The trailer gives nothing away... Miss Alice Wu did an amazing job...
interesting. i thought the lesbian thing was a twist, and so i was surprised to see it in the trailer.
I picked up on it the first 10 minutes 😩😩

a new twist on Cyrano de Bergerac... nothing is new under the sun.
are you telling me the two main roles are not gonna fall in love with each other but they are gonna develop a beatiful friendship, i'm in.
lmao watch it go the opposite 😂
I think it's the opposite
Antsy no the girl likes the other girl KSKEK
You should watch 'Me and Earl and the dying girl'. The relationship between boy and girl in that movie is purely platonic.
Here I am thinking it’s going be a three way 😆
Honestly, this is not just an lgbtq movie. Its just about pure love where gender does not matter. And that, that is GOLD.
like there was no mention of "gay" or "lesbian" it was just falling in love and being ok with it
I agree!
That's what I loved about the movie I wanted to see that kind of friendship and it not being romanticised.
Rose Ann wut? Are you into those people who believe in those sort of things , that love mean to kiss with any gender appears? Love is not that dear. Don’t be part of those asshole ones.
My point of view about how the same gender falling in love with each other.
Finally a movie where the non-straight characters actually have a personality other than their gender.

gender? don't you mean sexual identity?
other films: 17 year olds who look like 25 year olds
this film: 17 year old who looks 17, but acts like a 25 year old
The actress is actually 23
Yeah, I just googled it, but for anyone curious, the person who plays Ellie was born in 97, the person who plays Aster was born in 96, I found an interview for the actor who plays the guy last year and they mentioned he was 22, so I'm guessing either 96 or 97
No actual 17 year olds

Mari Joseph this will mainly be a story about platonic love, rather than romantic love.
Aditya Hingne oh alright thx
Mystic Smoothie makes sense thx
Idk why Ellie’s voice is so deep, it fits her personality, tough, always hide her feeling, hard to reach, She always looks like someone out of age
genetics...?
I think it's more like a girl trying to be more masculine. I used to do that too.

This movie is a masterpiece. I thought it was just a high school based rom com but it is so much more realistic and amazing than that. It touches so much ground and yet so subtly. I was falling in love with each and every character throughout!

I’m all for the lesbians, but I’m so so glad that they decided to highlight the importance of platonic girl and boy relationships. It’s such an overlooked thing in movies.
The girl could be bisexual. Stop erasing bi/pan relationships
@@boogerboy2420 The trailer was pretty super clear about the boy and main girl just being friends. Literally says "not all love stories are romantic".
@@RomanDiaries keyword: "trailer"
Booger Boy I don’t think they were trying to erase bi/pan relationships. I think the trailer was clear with how she is lesbian, not bi or pan, saying love is not always romantic or whatever it said.
@@lilysgf16 Right? It'd be super misleading if they put that in and still had her relationship with the guy get sexual. The trailer doesn't make the show seem sexualized in the first place, so I'd be shocked if it went down that path. On top of that, the writer/director/producer is a lesbian and the MC seems to be partly based on her.
Also it'd be annoying; the world needs more platonic girl/boy friendships, not every MC has to hook up with the MC of the opposite sex.
This is what Sierra Burgess thought it was doing
Lol, yeah!
I wanna like ur comment but i dont wanna ruin the 420
no, it did what it wanted to do and it was great. no sorry it wasnt about lesbians
@@serenityq26 Sierra Burgess was really messed up...
@@serenityq26 it was not lmao like legit in everyway it was such a bad movie
This movie is a extremely well written and performed. Its filled with fun, emotions, complications. I love how movie shows a rainbow of internal emotions by cleverly using metaphors. Definitely one of the most deep meaning(s) kind of script presented with elegance and simplicity..

I have never cried like I did at the end of this movie. I've never felt so seen and understood by anything. It felt like Alice Wu took me apart, piece by piece and made something that would fill up every empty hollow in my heart. The way love is portrayed in this movie with all the ups and downs was the most beautiful thing. This felt like reading a love letter from myself. Thank you Alice Wu.
Im living for this Male/Female bromance, not enough of those on screen.
NiaNamora you can just say friendship lol
Stranger things!!
Same
Yes to "friendship" since "bromance" is between males. 3 cheers against male-dominant language and for gender-inclusive language. I otherwise am all for your sentiment.
Story of my life, close non romantic relationships, maybe this movie will finally get me
*"Wait .... So am I the good painting"* ~Trig. Poor him, he had no idea what they were talking about .He looked so confused at the time of their monologues....
this movie was way too good, i loved ellie’s character so much. she was nerdy and shy, but also badass and authentic without being mean.
Everyone thought this was gonna be like that awful Sierra Burgess movie except with lesbians but this looks fantastic. A movie for young people focusing on the importance of friendship and how platonic love is just as important as romantic love? A movie giving the main character role to an Asian lesbian? Practically unheard of, especially for Netflix. I'm definitely looking forward to this.
"A movie giving the main character role to an Asian lesbian? Practically unheard of, especially for Netflix."

AND THE REST OF THE CAST (EVEN THOUGH THEY PROBABLY CASTED ABOVE THE 21 YR MARK) ALSO LOOK LIKE THEY COULD PASS FOR NO MORE THAN 19!! They all look like young adult genuinely here to do a damn movie. Not a bunch of 27 year old looking high-schoolers 🤩

@@myfingershavetheflu no i'm biromantic boy
It’s not just a teen romance film about crushes and sex appeal. It is a story about learning to connect, accept and love. It’s just love.
That's a really nice thought ❤
lucien carr yeah except the script was a bit messy like why tf did paul try to kiss her that just threw everything the movie prided itself on away
Its just love and being true to yourself. Finding yourself amidst of all that crowd then accepting who you are. That's it.
@@orksca5459 Paul said in the movie that "when she gives you a look, then you kiss her. Otherwise you come out looking like a putz" or something like that.
nikoru probably beacause he realized that Ellie is the one that she loves
$10 for 3 pages?? Homegirl’s undercharging BIG TIME
Ikr I used to charge 10 per page because I was from a rich Prep School. I had a scholarship so I was broke af. I never understood how rich people could be so dumb on purpose.
you expect at east a retainer for 10 and charge per page
Honestly it makes sense in a small town without much of an economy. That would explain the low prices
I had a 10 for 3 pages but 150 for a B
I swear
The best parts (wink) of the film: Ellie's sexy velvety voice, the dad standing there without speaking with the kitchen shower in his hand after having drenched Trig, the song she sings, "I bet she would have tried taco sausage", and when Paul looked shocked at Ellie from the diner window.
Only Indians knew the movie they were watching. (Ek villain)I cant actually believe they even made a reference at the ending ❤
Cyrano de Bergerac
Dude ikrrrr
She needs to start charging more. $20 is not gonna cut it. Poor business practices.
A L 😂🤣😂😂 oh you a hustler hustler
Right? Like I’ve seen people charge $20 for one page alone lol
Ya
In small town have less customers. So for keeping business running, you need keep service price reasonable.
This is exactly what I was thinking lol. She’s selling herself too short
i like how is not the stereotypical “i’m unpopular and i wanna get with the popular jock” type of romance this so relatable and realistic
Yeah instead it's like I'm unpopular and I wanna get with the Jock's crush but accidentally befriend the jock lol I like the twist
i mean it kind of is but i get what you mean and i do find this much better than those cliche movies
Hi army🙂😊
It's still cliche but... less cliche. I'd watch.

Netflix we need a sequel to this
It's taken long enough
This trailer doesn't reveal a tiny bit what a gem this movie is.. I don't know if that's good or bad.. also this movie manages to make you root for all the three in that love triangle.. and I loved that!
“Not every love story is a romance” I don’t think the movie focuses on the love story between the two girls, but the platonic relationship between the Chu and the guy. I’m so down.
rannierunsfast YESSSSS
rannierunsfast Nah it’s about the love story just as much, it’s a ROM com so the romance is just as prevalent I’m assuming
@@taylornewman3454 It's not a romcom and idk why everyone thinks that it is when they never said that it was. It's a coming of age story and focuses a lot on the friendship between Ellie and Paul.
@dragonsareawesome123 It’s a rom com, feel free to look it up. It will focus a lot on the friendship between Ellie Paul as seen in the trailer but a big part it also the love story between the two girls. There are interviews with the writer and producer of the film Alice Wu and post from her instagram page and the actresses pages as well that confirm both of my points.
I think its about the friendship between the guy and chu chu as well as her romance with the girl.
As much as I’m loving the love story between the girls, can we have a shout-out for the guy that realises Ellie likes Aster too and instead of getting upset or leaving her, he stands up for her? Like hell yes to mature characters 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Reshme Subramaniam yes!
"WHO YOU CALLING CHU-CHU?!" 👏🏽❤️👏🏽❤️
Yesss, I love it!!
Also they didn't try to give her a "makeover" by taking her glasses off
Exactly!! That's the man you need!!
This movie needs a continuation, called "the other half of it", that's how good it is, Elle Chu needs to pick where she left with astra two years time, according to the timeline of the movie.
I think the other half of it should be about guys, probably the guy lead falling in love with a gay guy or something. That would be an interesting sequel.
@@georgiebennett3336 right👍
@@georgiebennett3336 No....I don't neccessarily agree. Since the first movie was from Ellie's point of view, I really think "The other half of it" should be from Aster's. The name is just profound that way
there's a part of me that want's that but another part of me that doesn't want to see this film get ruined.
Oh that would be amazing
Just bumped into this movie on Netflix. Shed a few years at the last scene where Paul was running after the train. Such a class movie.
“Everyone is watching Disney+ during quarantine...” Netflix: *rolls up sleeves and drops this trailer* Ight, bet.

So Netflix wants to go with white savior flicks? Disney+ wins
*At first I was like she’s probably gonna be with him, next wait is she gonna be with that girl and then IS THIS A FRICKIN FRIENDSHIP MOVIE, YAS I NEED THAT, FINALLY*
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!?! I am all in for an Asian Gay Film BUT A REAL GOOD PLATONIC LOVE STORY IS SOMETHING THAT IS SO MISSING IN MEDIA THESE DAYS!!!!!!
White propaganda against the homophobic Chinese communist government.
I like the fact that we'll never really know until we watch it. :)
@でッ what are you talking about? So many movies/shows with Asian males and white females. Some recent examples: Insatiable (main white girl and the hot Asian stripper dude), that zombie show with Steven Yeun, the recent Christmas movie with Henry Golding and the games of thrones actress, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jane the Virgin (her best friend married an Asian guy), and if you wanna count South Asian males and white females, there are a ton of those too. There is a show where the main guy is brown and the whole show is him dating white girls. You just see what you want to see (or in this case, DON'T want to see).
But she did say at the beginning of the movie that no one will get what they wanted at the end. 🌭🌮
This is the best "Coming of age" movie to come out of Netflix's lot.

Okay, i highkey thought this was about a nerdy asian girl who becomes a tutor for a jock and falls in love, like that kind of trash. Then, this trailer took a whole other turn. An Asian-American lesbian lead, for teenagers, like where the hell does one find that. I know it looks just like Sierra Burgess, but I feel like we should give it a chance, and I'm honestly so excited for this level of representation. Also, a male and female friendship is being put on screen without any romantic elements, though she is lesbian which happens to be almost every non romantic male and female friendship, one of them is always gay but still a great step.
@@Formerlywendytestaburger1621 Yeah, but whenever you watch anything, usually a strong male and female relationship involves one of them being gay, rarely do you see two straight people of opposite gender being close friends without any romantic undertones

Here is a reccomend for lesbian girl and straight boy (its kinda spoiler)

I cried at the end. It was sad to see Paul and Ellie say goodbye.
when the kid yelled CHOO CHOO that really hit me deep as an asian. people think its funny but you know the real intention is because its an easy target, and a quick way to make someone feel embarrassed but you know you can get away with it because apparently all asians are quiet and shy. y'all know its the truth
Lydia tea what is choo choo means?
Had an aneurism trying to comprehend what this says.
@TheStroomis Come around my neighborhood and I promise the only victim will be you.
@TheStroomis Sure, everybody gets mocked in high school. But to go be mocked specifically because of your race is a whole other thing. Something that only people of color will understand. Something that extends far beyond high school. Maybe we'll stop being the victims when we stop being targeted.
What does choo choo mean? I'm Asian too, not trying to be rude, just hoping to understand what it means.

wendyskingdom and poc representation of course
Gayyyyyyyyyy
But they also gave us the whole movie in this trailer :(
True but there’s no chance Since she’s gay maybe if they were both straight then bam perfect movie to represent boy/girl friendships that don’t involve romance
Well they represent it as like the only way for a guy and a girl to be real friends is only if one of them is gay, which is not the case.
I like how they didn't make her stereotypical like she's really good at Math.
StuffedBox That’s because there are no essays to write in math class. She’s still the “Asian genius,” just an English genius. Definitely an interesting character though!

so many complaints about that movie they wouldnt do that again

honestly tho if someone said that to my parents they would kick them out of the house is sorta disrespectful
@@MarigoldEdits it's the truth though
It is rude... BUT sadly what he said is the truth.
Communication are nowhere to be found here.
Hmm I guess all of us have slightly different views. I personally felt that he wasn’t being rude, in fact it seems like he was disappointed in her father. Disappointed that her father didn’t understand her, or in this case “see” her.
Am I the only one here who's rewatching this again and again and wishing there would be part 2????
The fact that she sounded so husky when she first ran into her... that moment screamed that she's the top
I like that they put “not every love story is a romance” really. It’s a good tag line. Someone needs a raise 👏
What needs raise --- MEMES
What of this does end up being a romance?
Hello, im an idiot, could you explain how?
This looks really promising, hopefully the actual film would go on to develop Ellie and Paul's friendship. I am loving the actress for Ellie, she looks different from the typical Hollywood Asian actresses, more like actual Asian girls that I have seen on streets and stuff. Her voice is super surprising and lovely, and she played her part with a nice subtlety.
Omg I agree!! I look "like" her and my voice is in her range and not high pitched and "girly" and no "aegyo"
This is one of the mani actresses in Nancy Drew :)
Hee dictated let’s hope its a series and not a movie
the actress (Leah Lewis) is super pretty tbh! they just tried to downplay her looks to suit the character, which makes sense. this movie does look promising!
i read the script its really good! definitely breaks away from cliches after the first few pages and gave me all the feels (: cant wait to see how the scenes translate to film!
This Movie is for Smart asses this is not just a movie about a girl loving another girl its much more than that it is about Love, philosophy, introversion,genuine friendship and whatnot.... Very good movie a heart warming one...

exactly, I don't care if the plot's already in the trailer. As long as the acting is good and the characters are well written, I'll definitely give it a shot.
@@Super21Nash Same here
Are you hjntung towards to all the boys I have loved before?😂

Well this is called a masterpiece, so much emotions in every manner! ...from the beginning of the movie Paul was attracted to Aster and he took help of Ellie to impress her... eventually his unplanned love arises for Ellie when he got to know her so deeply(my fav part) he actually got to know love at this point ... Love is not bound to gender it's all about the connection between two souls and that unsaid love between Ellie and Aster was the evidence! Every sec of this movie was worth watching!! Loved the ending.
When you lost all hope for movies about teens. When you thought that there will never be such an amazing teen movie like Breakfast club. Just stupid cliche something. And then The Half Of It showed up. It's not a typical young adult movie. It's something more. Something deep, sensitive and alive. Movie not only about love. About friendship, understanding. And I love. With all my heart. And I'm gratefull for movie like this. I hope there will be more. Not another Kiss Booth or same empty stuff. But something truly deep.

Stfu simps
This movie is subtle and friendly..this is just amazing...wow
Watched this movie and was amazed. For the first time in my life I see a character that I relate to almost to a T. This movie almost mirrored the coming of age journey when I went to highschool. wow.
girl is criminally getting underpaid 10-30 dollars an essay wtf
technically if its double spaced with big font 10$ for 3 pages is a deal
Considering the fact, that her customers don't have that much money it is a fair amount.
i was thinking the same thing!!!
I’m glad someone noticed this! That’s the first thing I felt bad for, this girl doesn’t even appreciate herself enough to charge the proper price. Believe in yourself!!! And then an awesome trailer followed 👏
a film about squashing the “inevitable” stereotype that guys and girls aren’t able to acquire a platonic friendship without romantic feelings being involved?? ugh, we love to see it 🤗
Not really because it seems like in media boys and girls can only be friends if one of them is gay. We rarely see straight males and females as best friends without any romance.
false, she is lesbian
❤
@@loadedx16 what?
@@yasminemixon5458 it doesnt "squash" anything. She is lesbian so they would be able to "acquire a platonic relationship without romantic feelings being involved". Hence the statement being false
I'm so in love with the trailer itself. It feels like I'm a part of this small town. I can't explain further. I'm really bad with words. Aaahhhh
The words are everything, perfection it is.
Normally I dont like teen romance movies but this one has an interesting twist. I like that it's not about the love it's more about their firendship and to be yourself. I'll give it a watch.
friends come and go love is more important this sounds like a cuck fest.
I was just thinking the same thing. A love story not fully centered around romantic love, I'm willing to give it a shot
Don't be hypocrite..😁
did you miss the part where the lesbian lead is in love with a girl
it's an ugly "self-insert" girl for loser women to relate to.
