I went to see the perks of being a wallflower tonight, and i'm pleasantly surprised by it. I saw the trailer for it a few months ago when it first came out, and I wanted to see it. The thing is though; I want to see a lot of movies, so if it weren't for my friend insisting on watching it I probably would've waited until i have a break or something.
I wasn't really sure what to expect going in though, the trailer was very vague, and honestly Emma Watson was the only reason I wanted to watch the movie in the first place. The movie is mainly about an introvert freshman trying to deal with the difficulties of high school, and overcome his past all at the same time. Which from personal experience I can tell you is not easy. High school alone is hard enough, but if your past is haunting you then that needs to be taken care of.
I think the book and movie relate to everyone's lives, whether you had a rough time through high school or not, and for some of us it makes us envious that we didn't have friends like Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller) as we were going through some of this stuff.
The movie made me think a lot about my own life. I didn't have a very conventional high school experience, but there were a lot of things in the movie that I could relate to, right down to the fact that he wants to be a writer. Unfortunately I understand a lot of what the character goes through in the movie, far more that I'd like to admit.
Overall it was a wonderful movie. Some things had to be cut from the book as my friend put it, but they needed it to appeal to everyone so it's understandable. I give it a 4 out of 5.
