The Art of Getting By (2011)

oh boy oh boy a real review... 

sry for that... it has just been so dang long since i last wrote an actual review and not just random stuff popping up in my head. anywho shall we?

The Art of Getting By.... Well it is about George.. a social awkward teenager on his senior year. George is not big on school, homework or even assignments during class.. actually he is kinda weird with his head in the clouds or well the head is in a book looking over his amazing drawings that almost nobody ever get to see. Due to this lack of interest in school he get to see the principle quite often.. Anyway one day a girl hits up a conversation with him after school.. this girl being Sally.. Sally and George becomes really good friends.. but then as all good dramas go Georges life starts to crumple...

This was SOOOOO sweet... 

okay now that i got that out of my system lets go over  the movie.. it is a normal teenage drama flick thing but like more and more of the recent ones of these, i believe it to have a really good story and background theme.. George is feeling this type of rude depressing feeling toward school.. like what does it all matter.. trust me i get this feeling.. it is like that these days we live to slave our way through life, first in school to learn stuff that we later can use to slave away in a job so that we can make money to live for,... he also goes about life like he doesn't have anything to say to the world, kinda like he feels like a parasite that just tag along for the ride.. when he meets Sally or well think it is the other way round... she noticed him, making him become someone that stands out of the crowd for once... and quite early in the movie you get the fact that while most people are scared of dying (this seems to be the normal anyway) he is not scared of that.. he is scared about life.. scared of living it.. and i think that is the true core of this movie.. about not being scared of life.. about a young man that has to learn to live life and to become something, SOMEONE..

so as my earlier statement kinda implied this is a really cute movie.. a really warm one to.. made me feel really good afterwards even though i did hit a bumpy passage here and there (I am NOT crying... that much) and i like that in a movie.. and Freddie Highmore that plays George is just plain adorable..


Oh and I have just come to realize that I am having a movie crush on Emma Roberts so-ehm guess I'm gonna roam around IMDb and figure out what to watch next ;)
