Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl is one of my favorite coming-of-age films. It tells the story of Greg, his coworker Earl, and their friend Rachel who is dying of leukemia. Greg is an awkward high school senior who makes films with Earl. Greg and Rachel become unlikely friends after Greg’s mother forces him to hang out with her.
What made me love this film so much is the journey Greg goes on throughout the film.
Today I want to analyze Greg’s character arc, and examine the different points in the story that creates his change, and explain how you can do the same in your own screenplay.

Underrated, hidden gem of a film.
the book is even better
I don't know why this movie isn't popular enough. I liked it more compared any similar themed movies.
The screenwriter, Jesse Andrews, got to write the adapted screenplay from his own novel, and now he's also the screenwriter for the Pixar film, Luca!
that's so cool!!
That's disappointing. From promising to lacking integrity and working with scum.
@@RevCQ7 Wow. Hey, can you tell me more about what you mean? I'm out of the loop on that.
@@RevCQ7 the hell's that supposed to mean?
@@jeremykayprofessionalscree9914 pixar is owned by Disnazi.
That scene during Rachel's letter where Greg crosses the hand drawn bridge brings tears to my eyes every single time I watch it. Pure joy.
This is genuinely my favorite movie, the unique perspective on the loner terminal illness plot that seems overdone with things like Fault in our stars etc. it’s a breath of fresh air. And the acting is a fuckin 14/10 what Earl brought to the table in this movie changed the way I viewed supporting characters. Just amazing. Loved the video man excellent points from an analytical point of view as well, that’s a sub from me!
It tackles similar themes to Perks of Being a Wallflower like loneliness and letting yourself get close to others, but it still handles it in a way that doesn’t feel copied and is beautifully presented.
I’m so glad people appreciate what this film has to offer still to this day…
This movie is really magical. For me, it's the greatest love story ever told and it isn't even romantic at all. They were more like brother and sister. I can't believe Rachel had to go through all that without a father figure in her life, poor angel. If it weren't for Greg's care and company, she would have felt very alone.
Greg did like Rachel he said many times if this was a romantic movie or something like that they would make out he even envisions them snuggled he clearly has a crush on her
Thanks for the recommendation, I haven't cried for a long time
My favorite line of the movie, is Earl saying “titties.” It’s such a small dumb little joke that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie…. Yet it just fits so perfectly.
this made me tear up, I love this movie
Great film! Highly underrated.....better than most Indie's made at the moment.
One of my favorite movies! Feels so underrated.
I'm currently writing my first screenplay, and I'm basically using this as my inspiration for the shot composition, emotion and lighting in my head. This inspired me to begin writing and hopefully directing movies.
I found this movie by accident and now it's one of my favorite movies of all time (It made me cry tho)
This is quite possibly my favorite movie ever,I love this film so much and I was broken at the end.
Always wanted to see this film. Guess I gotta go see it
i cannot explain into words how beautiful this movie was for me when i first watched it. It is truly underrated in both the cinematography and its lesson it teaches
A screenshot from the film was actually used in a standardised final English exam across all schools in Australia lol
Interesting!
Its amazing to note that olivia cooke who was the dying girl in this film is now alicent hightower in the house of the dragon series! Happy to see her thriving in her career!
Thank you for knowing this movie exist! Everyone I've talked to has never heard of it and there are only a few people online that talk about it! It's my favorite movie!
Tyler video on one of my favorite films, that's nice
i watched this movie at summer camp when i was 11, because of this i'll have to rewatch this movie
I haven't seen this movie yet but this helped me to write my script on abandonment issues thanks
One of my favorite films!
Finally someone talks about this film, jesus christ man!
Your videos are a great introduction to screenplay. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
i legit had no idea this film was still so obscure?? i swear ive heard so many references to it and after watching it i was convinced it was well-known but apparently not
thank you for giving this film the love and recognition it deserves :) great analysis!
Hey can you do a film analysis of The Queen (2006) I cant find many resources and it's very hard to do on my own.
this video is so great why can I like it only once
I fkn love Thomas Mann in this movie. So we’ll put together.
Goddamn bro , i have been a regular watcher of this movie . One of my favourite if i must say . I really appreciate it
CJ Cyler was perfect in this

❤ Greg is me and I am greg lol
Favorite movie ever
Great vid
How to write a detective story, please.
Damn
All y’all read the fucking book
Tyler has no references he is a newbie and tries you to sell his own course. It is a making money strategy and you will learn crap from him. It works like a placebo you think you making progress but really you only learn techniques which are not worth to learn and also brings you up from learning your own style of creating new ideas and stories. He only made 1 script, he has not won any Filmfestival/Oscar etc. It is the same for most of the courses. You do not need any paid courses to get good in writing. Do not listen to this bullshit!!!
