It's no secret that I have been DYING to see The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I have been waiting for this movie to come out since it was announced like 2 years ago, mainly for two reasons: Logan Lerman and Emma Watson. It was finally released Nationwide this weekend, so of course me and one of my best friends jumped at the chance to go this morning!
That is seriously one of the most depressing movies I have ever seen.
Just let that sink in for a little bit. I'm still trying to grasp the whole concept of the movie myself. All I know, is that as soon as it was over, I felt like there was this huge gaping hole in me, like I was missing something. I honestly felt a little depressed, and I still do. That movie is just a straight downer.
I don't know what I was expecting from the movie. I just thought it was going to be a great story about this kid with no friends who finds great friends in HS and they all live happily ever after. Boy was I WRONG.
The characters in this movie all have something terribly wrong with them; they are all these broken souls in deperate need of fixing. Yet, nothing can fix them. Even with this great friendship they have, they are still broken.
I can't really tell you anything else about the movie without spoiling the whole concept, but let me tell you know that if you go and see it, PAY ATTENTION. It can get really really really confusing and they don't start answering any of the million questions you will have until the last 15 minutes of the movie. So prepare to be CONFUSED and DEPRESSED.
Now on the bright side of things, shall we?
I thought that the acting in this movie was SUPERB. Emma Watson proves that she is an AMAZING actress outside of the Hary Potter movies. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she portrays her character Sam so well, it's like you've known Sam your whole life - she does a spot on job. The other actors are incredible too, allowing you to really connect with the characters, even if you have absolutely nothing in common with them. That's probably why I felt so depressed after the movie, because I felt like I had gone through all the same troubles and traumas of each character.
Needless to say, this movie was not what I was expecting at all, but hopefully y'all will be prepared if you decide to go see it. It's definitely a movie you can't forget, but it's not going to be one of high acclaim either.
I'm not going to tell all of you to go run out and see this movie right now, but I'm not going to discourage you from seeing it either. The choice is yours, just keep in mind what I've said, it is in no way a feel-good high school movie like it appears to be!
That is All....
