Alice Wu’s 'The Half of It' offers a unique view on love
, the executive directive of San Francisco’s Center for Asian American Media, which hosts CAAMfest, says it was an unusual debut movie. “You could tell right away it was a really well-made film,” he said. “It had a great story line, and the acting was superb. It stood out in all ways. Also the subject matter of queerness in an Asian American context — it was one of the first real expressions of that, and that it could elicit such empathy is exactly what we need.
“We would have the most intense conversations about life, and he was probably the most influential in helping me accept myself as gay. I was coming out, I was freaked out, my family wasn’t speaking to me, and I didn’t know how to tell my previous friends,” she said. “Meanwhile here’s this guy who just totally accepted me as I was, like it was no different to him.”
“I think as a society we don’t always have the vocabulary or the ability to articulate all the different types of love there are,” she said. “I always had this question of what happens if you meet a soul mate and have no desire to have sex with them. How do you give a level of importance to that relationship?”
