Teen narrates as hipster folk songs play in the soundtrack. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and countless others.
Diary has an interesting subject matter, but done in a boring, cliched style.
I don&'t have a signature.
What's "tired" is people labeling movies "hipster" for no reason whatsoever and then dismissing them based on the fact that they supposedly appeal to this almost completely fictitious subculture (I'd reckon at least ten people get labelled "hipsters" for every person who actually considers THEMSELVES to be one).
I've at least SEEN "Me, Earl and the Dying Girl" and this. Neither are all that "hipster", nor are they much like each other. This is based on graphic novel that has been around for years and is set way back in the 70's. "Earl" is pretty much an adaption of a modern-day young adult novel, kind of in the same genre as John Green adaptations ("Paper Towns" or the other one where Shailene Woodley plays the world's cutest cancer patient).
The only recent movie this KINDA reminded me of is another Shailene Woodley movie called "White Bird in a Blizzard", but that is more fictional. This is based more on real life and has more of a comedy element. There's also "Ghost World" years back.
But I guess if you're an ignoramus, all movies that don't have lots of special effects and explosions probably all seem the same.
"Let be be finale of seem/ The only emperor is the Emperor of Ice Cream"
What folk songs exactly? Are Iggy Pop and Mott The Hoople folk singers now. Exactly why is it cliched? Think first before posting such idiotic nonsense or maybe even watch the film first.
see, I was expecting to feel this way about the film but found that it completely exceeded my preconceptions. the main turn-off based on the trailer was the involvement of animation which I presumed would just be an empty, quirky rhyme without a reason but it turned out to be relevant due to the girl's passion for illustrating. plus, it went to much darker places than I thought it would for the type of film I was expecting it to be.
overall - in my opinion - this was an outstanding film.
It is not tired to people who haven't seen it before "angelthman". Maybe you watch too many movies in this genre. Maybe you should watch something else.
