The perks of being a wallflower is a surprisingly good movie

Rating: 9/10 (14 November 2013)

I didn't expect much when I picked The perks of being a wallflower to watch. Casting was unknown for me except for adorable Emma Watson, who really makes a really good performance in the movie.
For me the movie really reminded me of my high school years. First I thought that the movie was about a bullied kid and how he survives the American high school, but I was happily surprised how deep the movie really is. Its themes on sexuality, sex, social diversity and mental subjects gave me a real pleasure watching it. I could really see myself as Charlie bullying aside. This flick is an awesome, realistic, view on ones life. The movie sets on a short period, only one semester, but it really captures the viewers heart and focus. It was kind of a deep drama but I didn't feel sad during it, actually it made me kind of happy. It was nice to think back to my own high school years and my first love. I think many people can really identify themselves with the movie.
In conclusion the movie is a brilliant classical movie, the main point is the story and how it's shown. It was like being in a theater, acting was mesmerizing and the story is just superb. Also remember to check out Crowded House's Don't dream it's over after the movie, just some brilliant music from the movie.
