Me & Earl & the dying girl [Motion picture]. (2015).
Touching story about to misfit male teens who have been friends since they were in grade school. they consider themselves coworkers because they make movies. They really don't fit into any "nation" in high school. The main character, Greg, is urged by his parents to hang out with a girl who is dying from leukemia. Once discovering how cool a person Rachel is and his feelings for her, Greg is urged once again to honor Rachel with what he does best; a movie.
This movie was bitter sweet for me. I have a girlfriend who is battling colon cancer and daily our "sister circle" deals with her triumphant "ups" and tearful "downs.This film made the reality of Trina's cancer more painful to bear. However, I did watch this DVD with my daughter who, constantly, compared it to her feelings toward "Aunt Trina". I thought that my daughter and I would be sad and depressed after viewing the movie, however, that was not thes case. We decided to celebrate Trina's life by hanging out and going to dinner with our personal international model, single mother and colon cancer ambassador, Trina Issac. I believe this movie would be great for middle and high school students dealing with diversity. Whether it may be dealing with race, different social group and/or dealing with death of a friend, this movie handles those aspects as for teens to understand in the 21st century.
