    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...

    Everyone has two sides, knowing that it is impossible, but still prefer to choose only one...

    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 feeling of burnout and powerlessness is deep in the bone marrow, I don't know other people, at least I live like this...

    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...

    A very warm movie

    This is a movie I like very much recently. It seems a bit far-fetched to decorate it with warmth, because this movie does not describe some positive things, that is, because of this, it feels that it is so close to us in my heart. When watching this movie, my lonely heart doesn't feel lonely. On...

    Yet another funeral

    Although it was a big boring movie, I really finished it without realizing it, and there were two tears in the middle. Gosling's acting skills are really gods. Compared with the romantic characters in La La Land, he is really suitable for such a mournful role. I always felt that if Gosling...

Half Nelson quotes

  • Jimbo: A man who was curious to know if a knife could penetrate his bullet-proof vest was killed yesterday by a stab wound to the chest. Witnesses say the man, Jeff Turner, 32, urged his brother, Scott Turner, 35, to stab him as hard as he could, believing the vest would stop the knife. It didn't.

  • Dan: I used to be so fucked. I used to be so fucked up. I was just out there. You know? But I fucking cleaned up. I cleaned up,

    [snorts a line of cocaine]

    Dan: For the most part. I do it now to get by, but I can handle it. You know what I mean? I tried the rehab thing. I tried it. But it didn't work, Didn't work. It works for some people. My ex girlfriend is getting married. That's how it works for some people. Right? Didn't work for me. The kids keep me focused. And I...
