She told me: "Hey! Check out The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's amazing. I loved it." And when she says she loved a movie it must have been great, so yeah that same day I watched it...
and ended crying like a baby...
Here's the trailer for those who haven't seen this movie before.
Spoilers coming!
At the first part of the movie I felt really related to Charlie. There was a time that I was like that too, but old habits don't seem to be easy to change. I'm still really shy and don't share what's on my mind to anyone. Then there's the part when he meets Patrick and Sam and he tries to fit in that group. *sigh* Fitting in a group...I suffered a lot with that emotionally. I will not get in detail but at least I didn't do drugs or drunk myself like him. So, yeah Charlie reminded me of me. Because of that I cried several times at the first half hour of the movie.
Since his imitation one of the professors, I instantly liked Patrick. He's just so funny! Sam, Alice and Mary Elizabeth were cool too but I preferred Patrick better :3 I felt sooo sorry for him when the Brad's friends started hitting him. It was so painful to watch them throw those blows to him. And most of all, when he couldn't be with Brad. It ended in a pretty bad way and poor Patrick was so sad. Thank goodness he had Sam and Charlie to be there for him. Charlie was very brave to take on those guys to save Patrick. Man, that's true friendship!
The Rocky Horror Picture Show parts were SO uncomfortable to watch! Why? Well, unlike most of you who must have watched this movie at theaters or comfortably at home, I watched this at both my biology and anatomy class and there were more classmates siting behind me. At least they were busying themselves with other things than checking out what I was watching because that would have been very embarrassing.
The soundtrack was amazing! I'm not that much of a fan of the 90's music but those that were played in the movie were awesome. But from all of them, two only stayed in my mind. "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners was the song that Sam and Patrick were dancing to in the homecoming dance, which was freaking hilarious and amazing! And "Heroes" by David Bowie. This last one is the famous "tunnel song". I can say there can't be any other song that could fit that last moment better than it was. It was just the infinite feeling that gave me goosebumps. Such a powerful and real feeling...*sigh* Just loved it.
There's only one thing that I'll not talk about and it's Charlie's Aunt's sexual abuse to him when he was little...Boy, I didn't see that one coming.
Whoever chose the cast, has my congratulations as was well as the cast themselves. I didn't read the book but I can say they portrayed the characters extremely well. When I saw Emma Watson I was surprised to see that her long hair had been long gone. But she still looks great. I've never heard of Erza Miller and Logan Lerman but I loved them both in this movie and hope to see them in many more.
A movie that has both bad and good things but it is still a movie that I won't be able to foret very easily. I know whoever watches The Perks of Being a Wallflower will enjoy it a 100%
I'll finish this movie rant with a quote from the end of the movie, which was just so beautiful said and really held a powerful meaning behind everything it said:
"I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite."
