I love how Aster was already curious/interested with Ellie even after the letters. She was already on her radar she just didn't know what it meant at that time. And I'm glad they didn't make Ellie a mumbling fool in front of Aster. She's a little awkward but not embarrassing awkward but cute awkward.
i never seen a movie with so much sincerity and honesty portraying different kinds of love, the half of it is really worth it huhu! i love how ellie's trail of thoughts is so different and so beautiful. how she expresses her self like she never been a stranger in love before. how aster unconsciously just be herself whenever she's with ellie and how paul supports in the end. it's so beautiful ugggh i criii!!
yes! I knew from the summary itself and the first scene that this movie was going to hit different. I love how it explores the different relationships/love as you said and does it in a way that just feels natural and real, like it should be, I could just go on about how much I love this movie lol
I really hope we get a sequel to this 10 years in the future or something and Ellie and Aster are both happy in their careers and they’re able to be together and happy.
so did aster like ellie romantically before she realized it was ellie's words she fell for? or was she just interested in platonically getting to know her?? /genuinely curious, just finished watching the movie 2 nights ago
@@noahjohn8129 i have no idea.. But that moment literally screams gay.. Or my gay heart did.. She maybe have feelings or maybe just some interest on Ellie's personality😁
OMG. She’s 18. Very religious. There are many reasons that she would want to be straight or convince herself that she likes boys. She herself said she knew something was off but she WANTED the letter writer to be Paul because it would be easier. She could be bi or pan or lesbian or only gay for Ellie, but just because she dated a guy or kissed a guy doesn’t mean anything, especially at that age.
The story revolve around them. Aster already had interest in Ellie and, Ellie to Aster. Is just that they were polar opposites in the spectrum of popularity within their schools, both are unsure with their sexuality, they were living in a conservative town. The guy was the bridge for them to reach each other. This song really represents their romance. "I dont want the world to see me cause I dont think that they'd understand", a lot of people would have judge them if they individually came out of the closet. "I just want you to know who I am" they chose each other to reveal each one's identities. they are willing to risk being exposed to the person they love in hopes that each will accept the other whole heartedly.
Best line, “I’m the Russian doll of layers.” Easter egg: the pics of Ellie’s mom is Joan Chen who was in Saving Face, Director Alice Wu’s first feature.
@Lisam Kuma yes. i believe it would include Asther's point of view. the movie clearly shows that she somehow had an "admiration" for Ellie way before the letter thingy
Seems like Aster really had some feeling to Ellie at the beginning. Like two soulmates meet each other? She tried to seek Ellie’s soul when she was with Paul. 1st was the book she gave him when they first met, 2nd was when she asked him “do you believe in God” and she seemed disappointed when he said yes. So in some way, i think she really considered the one who texted her was Ellie. However, her region and her belief did’t let her admit that.
Yeah, cuz for her it would be much easier to love a guy than to love or even confront what she really thinks about herself. And her kising Paul out of nowhete after their time together with Ellie somehow tells me that she wanted to make sure if she really likes Paul. I love thia goddamn movie so much I wanna cry LMAO
I think the way Aster tucked her hair behind her ear while glancing (comfort room), and when Aster took Ellie to her favorite secret place shows she kinda have a thing already with Ellie. ❤❤❤ 😊😍
Well, she also knew that Ellie has been her father's favorite heathen and palys the piano at church for four years. I think that hallway scene is their first meeting but it seems like Aster already know so much about Ellie.
Thank you for this! I love every second of it! I love what u did when Ellie chu was talking of the things she like about aster. .....I really love this movie and like everyone else i badly needed a tv show or a sequel!
Has anyone thought of how when they were floating in the hot spring it resembled the two-faced, four-limbed greek person in the openning sequence. The one who was whole with love before they got torn apart? And also how that scene was (well besides the kiss) "the best part" for Ellie and Aster because we could clearly see they were meant to be.
The hot spring part was the best part for me too. I love that very intense scene where Ellie felt like Aster was gonna do something to her when she was about to get out of the hot spring to get the radio. Ellie was so awkward but sooo cute there. I only realized that the hot spring scene resembled the opening part of the movie when I watched the director's explanation.
someone please sedate me..... my heart can't handle this TT ellie works hard, but the yearning sapphics work harder. thank you for this absolutely gorgeous edit.
That hallway scene, I just knew Aster is gay! That stare, that keeping your hair behind your ear gesture, and most especially knowing so much detail about someone for 4 year?!! LMAO, you go gays!
Omggg I just realized the book that Aster gave to Paul, Elli had it when she bumped into Aster. Did this encounter start the spark/suspension of Aster. Woah 🤯 idk
I didn't realize it either. So when she bumped into Ellie and saw the book, she began reading it too? Aster was already smitten when they bumped into each other.
I would like to understand that who was Aster mad at when Paul tried to kiss Ellie. 1.At Paul for cheating ? 2. At Ellie for cheating with Paul while saying she was his friend and later on kind of Aster's friend too? 3. At Ellie because she herself has started having some sort of feelings for her and doesn't want her to be with Paul?
I guess they are each others soulmate.They pictured vividly the two face while in that water mirroring the greek mythology's belief about every person's other half.
Out of topic but this song can lull me to sleep anytime💙 this is the best edit I've seen so far (and I've been watching hours of astlie/elster) I forgot their ship name but I LOVE THIS MOVIE💙💙💙😩

We’re going to need the other “half of it.”

my heart BURST when they kissed
The bathroom scene gets me all the time, aster looking at ellie then smiling 🥺😍
@@unhypethefreak8447 why does Aster looks like that to Ellie... Staring/Looking daammnnn..... ❤️❤️😍😍

aster can convince herself she's a straightie all she wants but not a single het grins like that after kissing a girl 👀
She's probably bi or pan
Probably bi or pan ‘cause she kinda kiss Paul
@@leeyubinsproperty definitely pansexual
@@AndresGarciaMovies She is definitely bi

I searched up “Ellie & Aster” cuz I was hoping someone already made one, thank you so much!
I want two films out of this - 1) Aster's POV and 2) Their story after a few years when they meet again (happy ending is required).

I like that Aster walked out of the restaurant “turning point” at the end
That is a very good observation!
Aster is so hottttt. I ship themmm! We really need a sequel for this!
Just finished watching..so cute and Aster is so damn pretty.😘 See you in couple of years..🙏💞

And Joan Chen also plays the main character, Wil's, mom in Saving Face!
@@abc314pi Joaaaan
I need a sequel where we focus on Aster coming into terms with her sexuality and her feelings for Ellie
so when is the sequel coming out??? 😂😂😂
I don't personally know Alice Wu (the director), but I think we'll have to go to AO3 or ff.net for a sequel xD
Katniss Taylor that’s exactly what I was thinking 😭 or a spin- off TV show
im pretty sure there is a sequel of this movie so many signs
omg a spin off tv show would be so good
@Lisam Kuma yes. i believe it would include Asther's point of view. the movie clearly shows that she somehow had an "admiration" for Ellie way before the letter thingy
Omg you’re so fast. I was already wondering if somebody made one.
😉
Find someone who looks at you the way aster looks at ellie 🥺
You got it right...!!
I hope there's a sequel where they meet again in the future 😭
"Love is being willing to ruin your good painting for the chance at a great one."

But how she knew it was Ellie? She couldn't know her that well. They weren't friends ar the time nor hung out.
Rachel Kunkel you need to search what soulmate means
@@dinosaur2204 I agree
Yeah, cuz for her it would be much easier to love a guy than to love or even confront what she really thinks about herself. And her kising Paul out of nowhete after their time together with Ellie somehow tells me that she wanted to make sure if she really likes Paul. I love thia goddamn movie so much I wanna cry LMAO
Have already watched the movie twice but still can't get over with Aster Flores.
If a sequel doesn't happen my little gay heart will burst into flames
hahahaha same
Am I the only one that cried during both goodbyes
Just paul for me
@@sn1617 same, I just broke out in tears
Bro, their chemistry was so amazing!! I shipped them so much! I was literally screaming when they had moments together. And the kiss.. Omg! 😍😍😍
We need another movie, a sequel
So when's it coming out? 🤣
Such a great movie it shows the two types of soulmate you’ll meet: the romantic one (aster) and the platonic one (paul)
My heart exploded when they kissed
I think the way Aster tucked her hair behind her ear while glancing (comfort room), and when Aster took Ellie to her favorite secret place shows she kinda have a thing already with Ellie. ❤❤❤ 😊😍
Me too... I mean... Why does Aster always do that whenever she's with Ellie or she Sees Ellie...??
john yup she didn't do that to Paul nor her. Bf.
Well, she also knew that Ellie has been her father's favorite heathen and palys the piano at church for four years. I think that hallway scene is their first meeting but it seems like Aster already know so much about Ellie.
fave part was them swimming. the awkwardness was there and i really can relate
I really loved this movie
I already watched it twice and I'm still here in UA-cam 🤪
Please miss Alice Wu, sequel please?!
Oh boy, I hope there's part 2 for this beautiful story.... fingers crossed!!!
I NEED a version w/ Aster’s perspective!!
This isn't about corona virus, this is all about "the half of it" thank you Netflix ❤️ you made my quarantine days be completed...😉
They’re so cute 🥰😍 btw beautiful video ❤️
Thank you for this! I love every second of it! I love what u did when Ellie chu was talking of the things she like about aster. .....I really love this movie and like everyone else i badly needed a tv show or a sequel!
I needed thisss 😭 Can't stop thinking about their beautiful chemistry
I need another movie. Omg! Or maybe this time a show with the same actresses being a couple. Their chemistry was so on point!
I actually loved this film so much, and this edit is such a credit to it
by far the prettiest edit of ellie and aster that ive seen

WE NEED THE OTHER HALF OF THIS STORY !!!!!JANANDJDLDM😣♥️♥️
This just released yesterday 😂 gays really do work fast huh
hahahaha
I loved the movie, this edit is wonderful
Wait.. this has way more quality than on Netflix. 😂
She's been looking differently at Ellie since the start of the movie. Or is it just me?
Actually everyone (including me) saw that too. Aster already had a crush on Ellie since the beggining and no one can say me that I'm wrong. 😂
Aww my gay little heart 🌈 so happy we at least got a kiss
someone please sedate me..... my heart can't handle this TT ellie works hard, but the yearning sapphics work harder. thank you for this absolutely gorgeous edit.
Ellie fell in love with her personality (soul)🥺
Paul fell in love woth appeerance
Ellie fell in love with both of Aster's appearence and personality and it's that that makes their relationship so beautiful.
dang this is fast, I love your video! :) loved the movie!!
That hallway scene, I just knew Aster is gay! That stare, that keeping your hair behind your ear gesture, and most especially knowing so much detail about someone for 4 year?!! LMAO, you go gays!
Dude you work fast..

THE BEST EDIT IVE SEEN
Best part :
"is this really the boldest stroke you could make?"
we’re gonna need a sequel titled “the whole of it”
Well done with this video! You really captured their chemistry perfectly! And with Kina Grannis 'Iris' for the music.. Yesss!
Really well put together. Great video
Thank you so much for this wonderful edit! I love this couple!!

Quiero un spoiler como ellas quedan juntas o es un final bonito para ambas

I realized it when i was editing them and I put it on purpose in the vid because I think that yeah, that encounter start the spark of Aster ;)
Small details matter, indeed!!!
@@jaggerfibonacci7704 actually Aster already read it..coz she commented that she "loved it" when she helped Ellie at the hallway.
@@chrisc8470 Oh, no wonder they understood each other. They have similar likes and all
Love is... love. No matter the shape, the form, the reason. It just is.
OMGOSH, THIS IS SO BEAUTY!
This reminds me of my high school crush she was just like aster, so perfect. 🙃
I'm just binge watching their edits.
So beautiful
we need a sequel, the other half of it please
still cryign you gave me kina grannis and the half of it and my life is complete
This is amazing 🥰
THERE SO BOOTIFUL😊💞
I would like to understand that who was Aster mad at when Paul tried to kiss Ellie.
1.At Paul for cheating ?
2. At Ellie for cheating with Paul while saying she was his friend and later on kind of Aster's friend too?
3. At Ellie because she herself has started having some sort of feelings for her and doesn't want her to be with Paul?
Same... That scene though... I'm a little confuse too to that matter
Yeah.. it's an ambiguous scene.
If they make sequel for this movie
"Another half of it"
i can't stop watching this (':
I'm living for this edit
I guess they are each others soulmate.They pictured vividly the two face while in that water mirroring the greek mythology's belief about every person's other half.
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
the fcnnn eye contact 😭😭
This video is perfect with the cover waaah
Out of topic but this song can lull me to sleep anytime💙 this is the best edit I've seen so far (and I've been watching hours of astlie/elster) I forgot their ship name but I LOVE THIS MOVIE💙💙💙😩
