The Art of Getting By

The Art of Getting By: 2011

IMDB: 6.6

Cast: Freddie Highmore (as George), Emma Roberts (as Sally)

George is an anti-social kid who lives his life quietly and unnoticed. One significant quality of him is that he never does homework. The movie is based on how he made one friend and fall in love with her.

Personal thoughts: My opinion about George is rather positive. Maybe the reason is because he has some deep thoughts and those thoughts makes him unique. He's an artist and has deep feelings about simple stuff. That's why I like him so much. He makes ordinary stuff extraordinary with his feelings. For example his love for Sally. Sally isn't anything like George. She's just friendly but George finds Sally so beautiful and that makes an ordinary girl extraordinary. I think George is a genius. Even if he sketches on his books whole lesson he can be successful when he wants. I found his shyness cute. My favourite scene of the movie is when the teacher thought George had no idea of a book that was assigned and George proved her wrong. Everyone was surprised and it was kinda cool:) I liked George's answer because his sense of romanticism is different from everyone else's. He finds the story being told by the perspective of a bug romantic. That shows how his mind works different. It's a teenage movie. The events were a bit slow but apart from that, it's a nice movie.
