    The acting is good, but the whole story structure is a little bit hopeless and lethargic. It is uncomfortable to live such an unfocused life with the protagonist. It is really hard to say whether it is mutual redemption in the...

    Totally eye-opening. I love that it feels real. The indie production, the talented acting, and the angles of the director's shots are just...

    "Half Nelson was originally based on a song by Miles Davis, and the same word originally meant a wrestling move. It's a stalemate in wrestling, but you can get away with it, although it takes skill," says director Ryan Fleck. Just a metaphor for struggling. "...and wonder why there is no such person as...

    Those confused eyes are tailor-made for this film. Ryan Gosling is the best choice for this film, and another black girl plays no less than Gosling. In the relatively procrastinating plot , through documentary-style photography, captured the wonderful performance of the two. This reminds me of a taxi...

    Such a boring movie. The state of the students has been stable and easy to understand, but I don't understand that the teacher has always been a half-dead person, and I don't know why. Later, I suddenly cheered up, but I still don't know why. Maybe my level is too low to...

    Ryan Gosling at his very best. Most of the soundtrack is Broken Social Scene, I love...

    I said how the movie had a 100% sense of sight within a few minutes of the opening. Later, I absolutely confirmed that Detachment starring Brody imitated the mode and plot of this movie! The almost identical blackboard, chalk writing, standing, student distribution, teacher-student relationship, inner entanglement, melancholy and decadence... There are too many similarities, but the detached imitation is obviously detached and has reached the realm of godlikeness. procrastination and...

    So much better than "Detachment", Gosling is really an amazing actor, can't wait for his exciting...

    The "Gotham Awards" was founded by the Independent Feature Project in 1991. Unlike other film awards, the "Gotham Awards" have a special jury for each award, and all the members of the jury come from film industry...

    Thought-provoking but I admit I didn't get it before I read the review again....

    Can't feel the feeling of teacher-student love at all

    It inspired me to want to be a teacher. But to be honest, it was Dan's life that touched the same. One person, school, bar, and even the marriage of his ex-girlfriend hit him so hard. In the face of white powder, he couldn't stop. But he has a peculiar teaching method in their opinion, that is,...

    Tears and Lollipops

    I didn't expect to see the movie that I wanted to watch ten years ago. Watching this movie on an overly sultry and slightly murky afternoon, with the slightly shaking camera, resonates with sadness and depression for an hour and a half.

    The film tells the story of an encounter. White History Dan...

Half Nelson quotes

  • Dan: Change moves in spirals, not circles. For example, the sun goes up and then it goes down. But everytime that happens, what do you get? You get a new day. You get a new one. When you breathe, you inhale and you exhale, but every single time that you do that you're a little bit different then the one before. We're always changing. And its important to know that there are some changes you can't control and that there are others you can.

  • Dan: Who might say that Aristotle's wrong, right? But that doesn't make any sense; these things need each other. The idea that... that all God's creations are perfect, perfect - so just to suggest that - that a tree it's - it's crooked and it's straight... it's strong and it's weak... is to suggest that - that God created something imperfect. They do however acknowledge it in people; we are sinners but we can strive to be good just not in nature itself I guess.
