Bo Bonham created the script of "The Coolest Girl in the World" based on his own feelings. He has had the experience of "inner fear" since 2013. That kind of distrust and insecurity about himself and the future reminded him of him in middle school, and he felt that the state of the entire society and culture of the United States was also experiencing something at that time. "The Coolest Girl in the World" feels painful during the growth period. In shaping the image of the heroine of the film, he got inspiration from observing a girl taking a selfie in a shopping mall. The girl's hard work to take a "perfect photo" reminded him of himself. He knows all about the image and personal settings that are completely different from those on the Internet, and why he has to work hard to do these things. However, after writing the script, he spent several years looking for funding for filming. In 2016, he sold 150,000 tickets on a comedian talk show tour, to show the producers that he actually has a good ability, at least to ensure that the film will not lose money. Finally, A24 company gave him 2 million US dollars in funding, and the "The Coolest Girl in the World" project was launched

Three and a half. With great confidence in recent American youth films, the result was still slightly disappointed. The key was too shallow. In the end, it was necessary to rely on the drama of father and daughter to "fight the fire", but the result was even more abrupt; the US campus in the past two years Katarai blowout appeared, covering almost every age group and group, and I felt that everything was done (the directors really didn’t want to change the angle and way of thinking to shoot), this seems to have said no Few, rebellious psychology, classmate relationship, secret love, social networking... But in fact, only one thing is said-the eighth-grade weird girl who tries to blend into the surrounding circle; just say "don’t squeeze in different circles" can easily To sum it up, making full use of the emerging network social platforms to connect the plot, although avoiding the tediousness of flat and straightforward, but in fact, this trick is not new. However, considering the popularity of these recent youth films, it is not groundless to want to come to the blowout; the director is a post-90s, it is still worth encouraging, young people shoot young people, there is nothing wrong, it is estimated that in the future such post-90s directors will be able to make post-00 stories. more and more.

The group play is perfect. It seems that most of the time minors act by nature. But the structure is too scattered, this is really unbearable.

Mark Day: You're wrong. If you grow up to have a daughter like you, she will make you so so happy. Being your dad makes me so happy, Kayla. You don't know; you don't know how happy you make me. It's beyond... I can't describe it. It's so easy to love you. It's so easy to... to be proud of you. I'm not just saying this. I swear to God, I'm not just saying this. Sure, sometimes if I see you're upset or having a rough day, then I feel sad. But that kind of being sad, that sort of day-to-day sad, or worrying that I do, that's not... Kayla, always beneath all that, I am always so unbelievably happy that I get to be your dad.
