The Perks of Being a Wallflower..


Well, well, where to begin? It was one of those films that you will come away from feeling something.
I have recently bought this on DVD and each time I watch it I come away feeling something different. Cinema = happy and sad, 1st at home = sad, 2nd at home = happy.
The story is one that doesn't need any real plot or direction because it has brilliant actors portraying people that you just want to watch forever (because you can't be actual friends with them).
The premise of this film is one that simply follows in the life of Charlie, who narrates, and see's him meet his new friends, overcome being high for the first time and his first relationship screw up. But it also see's him fall in love, battle inner demons and reveal something I bet no-one saw coming.
This film blew me away, and that's not just because Emma Watson is in it (swoon). I ended up thinking back to my high school days and empathising with these people, I was laughing with them then crying when they cried. It made me remember how far I have come with who I am now, to what I was back then.
To recommend it to you, I will say this - "I can't express to you how I felt after seeing it because there are no words, I felt happy, sad, elated, depressed and reminiscent all at the same time. I can guarantee you will feel something but I cannot tell you what, all I can tell you is that there is a little bit of Charlie in everybody."
