Aster finds out that Ellie wrote the letters - The Half of It

[@shidreams1552]

alice wu (director of this film) said that the slap was meant for ellie, that’s why aster kept her eyes locked on ellie while she did it. because ellie hurt aster through paul, so aster did the same thing back by hurting ellie through paul.

[@ronja.85]

Woah thanks for the information it makes it so much better

[@beyonceb8473]

Ok that makes more sense because I was really mad she slapped him😢 but im also biased when it comes to paul now because i fell in love with his character in the short hour and 45 minutes ☺he is my smol bean that just wants some love.❤

[@sundawg911]

exactly and reason why i loved that part. it was a direct hit at Ellie for pretending.

[@Gamergirl-.-]

Ahhh, I always thought that ! Since she was looking directly at her while slapping Paul.

[@Ortegay]

Ohhh that makes sense, cause I did notice her staring intensely at Ellie when she slapped Paul.

[@yonananana_8859]

Ellie: I've also been pretending The crowd: hauzuahehzjjjnd I'm dying 😂

[@Rita_1]

Ikr that’s what I thought too

[@10kSubscribersWithNoVids]

😅😅😅

[@prasanadazzle.]

Love is messy, horrible, selfish and bold. It's not finding your perfect half, it's trying reaching and failing. Love is being willing to ruin your good painting, for the chances of real want. Is this really the boldest stroke that you can make ?

[@visualpun650]

What Ellie says here about love (really it is more regarding the pursuit of love, than practicing love) is not completely at odds with the "Love is patient, love is kind" love wisdom quote from the Bible. "Trying, reaching and failing... and then trying again".... isn't that a good definition of "love persevering"? The verse is not about the feelings of love or falling in love. It is about how one needs to act to love someone. It is action and attitude. A person who seeks regularly to love the people around them... as prescribe in that verse....will find they will make quite "bold" strokes when it counts. Google the verse. It is quite amazing.

[@prasanadazzle.]

@@visualpun650 Haha thanks for your words and verse it's amazing i will google it.

[@anakinizboring]

dude, I wrote that quote down in my quote book. so good! of course, it won't make any sense when you read it out of context but with it, it makes it so much better.

[@prasanadazzle.]

@@anakinizboring Thank you it's best verse that I ever read.

[@justsumteennn6778]

Trig is so aggravating with his narcissistic self but he also makes the movie and this scene more enjoyable to watch😭😂

[@justsumteennn6778]

still also kinda hate him for almost proposing to my bisexual queen Aster Flores😭

[@kiwiikiwii9036]

justsumteennn is aster acc bi in real life?

[@justsumteennn6778]

@@kiwiikiwii9036 not sure, one can dream tho😭

[@firstlast7994]

Why do you dislike Trig? Trig actually seems like a really likable character. Unlike other movies, he isn't a rapist that takes advantage of other people. He seems like he really cares about Aster.

[@justsumteennn6778]

@@firstlast7994 I don't hate him, I just think he doesn't fit aster at all. Proposing to her would've been a bigg mistake.

[@makachiop]

The real problem here is paul, he wants to change the old recipe!

[@samhilbourne9212]

I was expecting a cheesy but good teen movie when I saw this but I got so much more.... the DEPTH

[@tingtong1422]

I agree, it's one of my favorite movies now.

[@Ortegay]

“You” “Yeah” My heart proceeds to break into a million pieces. (That slap looks straight outta a telenovela 😂)

[@samank8628]

That’s what makes it so great! Besides the fact that she slaps Paul to get the message across to Ellie.

[@lolag5232]

Loved this movie ❤️it was different than the other teen movies . I think Aster knew Ellie wrote the letters when Aster showed her the painting of the flower and ellie comments about how it’s lonely but hopeful and Paul just calls it pretty

[@deeezznutzandchickenmasala8020]

We need the other half! Bro! Arggggggg

[@sslkm]

we need the whole of it

[@Fin3RD1]

Am I the only one that feels bad for Paul, all he wanted to do was to speak to a girl he liked but didn't believe in himself to just be himself and by the end of the movie there is no equilibrium for him and have a chance to apologise...

[@gonegirl000]

oh for sure, i was in his shoes once and sometimes talking to your crush can be very nerve wracking but it's better to go for it then regret not trying, as Spiderverse said "that's all it is, it's a leap of faith"

[@valughryy]

Not to sound dumb, but is Ellie's speech considered a monologue? Cuz if so, I would like to use it for my acting audition 😅

[@Natefirethemagnets]

Yup

[@Miki_vaniki]

Don't you slap our precious Paul 😭😭

[@xovicc9426]

nah he deserved it ngl😭

[@mistakemac505]

Paul reminds me of my golden retriever. Such a precious boi.

[@julir4616]

This scene got me on the edge of my seat

[@anindyajasmine7548]

okay but the music in this is on POINT!! i got the chillss

[@LittleMissV]

Paul looks and acts so much like my husband, I was freaked out when I first saw him.

[@jessv9316]

Aww you're lucky! Paul is so sweet

[@laksoysoy]

@@jessv9316 but not good looking

[@deanprice8436]

Why did she slap that guy even while she admitted that she was thinking that it was Ellie who was sending those letters lol

[@ritaalmeida7182]

Okay, she thought it might be Ellie who sent the letters but she was never sure. In this scene, Ellie gave Aster a confirmation so that's why she slapped Paul.

[@deanprice8436]

@@ritaalmeida7182 Yeah now it made sense, thanks 👍

[@HKKHblademaster]

I also saw it as she realized she was being lied to by Paul. She was hurt because she poured her heart to someone that did not exist.

[@mazvitaselemani]

You know there are moments when you have feeling that something is happening but you just wanna stow that feeling away

[@justmart4455]

Someone in the comments gave the reason

[@leylamcdevitt7083]

Such a good movie!!!!!

[@Christianearthpony39]

One of the best movies on Netflix ❤️

[@MunroMcLaren]

The congregation is probably so confused, but also entertained. Lol.

[@yvonneasche2919]

Diese Stelle im Film liebe ich sehr und ich bekomme nicht genug und sehe sie mir immer wieder an . Ellie macht vor allen in der Kirche so zu eine Liebeserklärung an Aster und sie erkennt das der heimliche Seelenverwandt schreiber in Wahrheit Ellie ist , das berührt mich immer tief im Herzen . Ist das wahre Liebe oder nur ein Traum für Ellie wenn Aster nicht die selbe liebe im Herzen fühlt wie Ellie für sie. Ich bin schon gespannt wie es im zweiten Teil des Films weiter und ich hoffe ich kann ihn mir bald an sehen.

[@Noa......]

English subtiles please.

[@elon39267]

song??

[@ISEEKSPACE]

That slap though looking at her while she did it. 🥵

[@jadadg]

Really a lovely movie, wish they would have made another one, two to years later.😊

[@devendrasinhsolanki9281]

[@kaisersnewgroove]

Does anyone know the song used here?? I absolutely love it

[@Anna-br9jt]

I hope we get a sequel

[@houst7584]

I’m sorry this scene was just so bad I couldn’t help but laugh through it. Was it supposed to be funny?

[@asmitapatil9393]

Whole movie is funny 😂

[@dragonmaster909]

I thought it was a romcom
