THE ART OF GETTING BY

“The Art of Getting By” tried to straddle the line between drama and comedy. Expecting us to laugh at George’s despondency but then expecting us to feel for his life’s difficulties. Is it about getting the girl, finding your path in life, or just graduating high school? Of course it’s about all of that, but at times it seemed to be about none of that. But the most interesting thing about the movie is that we see a great deal of changes in George’s life from the moment he meets Sally. It triggers different actions and revelations in his life that are irreversible, as is often the case with love in real life too. It basically shows us that loved ones can change one’s life for the better, even in a not always positive way. GREAT Soundtrack by the way. I’d advise anyone to give it a look. <3
