Ryan Gosling's double-sided one-man show is outstanding. The special friendship between white teachers and black students, talking about loneliness and getting along, and seeing the racial needle inserted into the faith. The handheld lens is stable and sophisticated, and the structure is slightly...

It looks quite strenuous, the tone is very clear, I don't know if it is 16mm, the grain is very thick, but it fits well with the breathing photography of hand-held close-up, a degenerate white teacher, and a black girl gradually walking to the street, in the long river of history. The friendship begins with keeping secrets, and then the students sell drugs to teachers and are really overwhelmed. At the end, there is hope. Not a campus movie. Actors are...

It was a bit dull at first, but after I calmed down and focused on Ryan's acting, I felt that this film is still worth watching, and some of the revealing and metaphors about human nature are also great! It's also this movie that made me like RG more and more,...

I like the tone of the whole film. There are many places that are too simplified, but many times it shows a sense of reality. I didn't particularly look forward to watching this film, but after watching it, my heart was really...

The male protagonist's burnout is deeply rooted. What does the title mean? There's basically no story, and the part about him dealing drugs with black girls is good. To be honest, I don't really see where it's...

I always think that Commander Gao is the most handsome in this film. I also like this scene of Mr. Tang and the little girl's drug deal. It's really... You are so pitiful, teacher... When I watched it in 2007, I couldn't bear it. Live in tears (now it looks like a kind of sadness of collapse and...

The disillusionment of ideals, the ruins of freedom
A movie that is destined to be low at the box office and can only be shown in the American art theaters, but is liked by film critics. The themes of drugs, loss, nostalgia, racial prejudice, disillusionment nihility, identity contradiction and other elements, the constantly shaking camera, slightly...

Simplify expression
This movie has a good reputation in Sundance last year. The plot is simple: a year-long friendship between a drug addict teacher and a drug dealer student.
Basically, it does not constitute any plot. This is an advantage of Half Nelson, it is not funny. The film itself has a bit of documentary. The...

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.
