This movie simply has to stick as close to the book as humanly possible. I mean, the same person wrote the book and made the movie.
Charlie (Logan Lerman) is about to become a high school freshman. He's had a tough time in middle school making friends and being a normal kid. He meets a group of people who, while they've had their fair share of tough times as well, seem to be good friends to Charlie. We will see how Charlie deals with all of the issues of being a high school freshman while having a group of seniors as his close friends.
Everyone has had a tough time in high school. None of us would be normal if high school was a breeze. This is clearly expressed in the chemistry among the characters in the film. There is not a character in the film that most people would want to aspire to be. They all have their flaws and aren't perfect, but that doesn't stop them from being friends. So while we may not want to aspire to be these characters on an individual level, we should all hope that we can find friends that are as good to us as this group is to each other.
It's hard not to get a little emotional at some parts of the movie because we've all been in situations similar to those depicted in the film. It's an easy film to relate to in that case.
I will be honest. There isn't a whole lot I can say about this film other than the fact that I was left speechless and I am still speechless about the film. It's just that awesome in every way. It is definitely not a feel-good movie. I would say that for someone in my position, it's a feel-lucky movie. What do I mean by that? It makes me realize just how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family and amazing friends who are always there for me. When you see this movie, I hope you have the same reaction to it that I do.
On my top movies of the year list, this film is so far number 4, behind Argo at number 3, The Avengers at number 2, and The Dark Knight Rises at number 1. These placements are likely to change as all of the films that will go for award runs are released. I can't recommend this film enough. It's absolutely wonderful.
I give The Perks of Being a Wallflower an A+.
