The Perks of being a Wallflower

Emma Watson <3. Based on the novel by Stephen Chbosky, The perks of being a wallflower is Is an uplifting and poignant story of an anxious teen who just entered high school. He is not of the kind who wants to live the life of a party, but rather an introverted kid who just wants to get along with everyone. The movie is a roller coaster of emotions taking us through the highs and lows of an adolescent kid, literally.  The casting done is impeccable, though many might not consider it exactly realistic. Logan Lerman as the main protagonist, Charlie, Emma Watson as the ever beautiful, Sam, and the best of all Ezra Miller as, Patrick pulled off their characters flawlessly. The movie surprisingly strikes a perfect balance between being too dramatic or too preachy and creates for itself a wonderful individual experience of its own nature. The movie is riddled with Strong emotions and nostalgic music. It’s a fresh movie rather than the same old high school drama; bringing out unknown realities of such adolescents into the limelight. It teaches us to participate in life and that we are more than what we have been called or limited down to and that we are truly infinite.

Overall, the author cum director has done an excellent job with the movie and duly deserves a standing ovation. This is a definite must watch and its all the more better and beautiful, if one can relate to it.

"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 on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite." - charlie

"We all deserve the love that we think we deserve" - Charlie
