emotional and touching

Rating: 10/10 (26 December 2013)

Perks of Being a Wallflower(i'm calling it PBW for short) is a little film that packs a large emotional wallop.Many people have called it "over rated" but it depends on the viewer. While I think that films should appeal to many different audiences, sometimes they deserve to be more personal. And this film is.
The first time I viewed PBW, I had tears rolling down my face at the end.I was so touched and so affected by the story and by the characters.Charlie, Sam, and Patrick are all people I've seen in my high school, they are the epitomes of the person who feels out of place or just wants to be loved, or the person who hides behind a showy facade.At the time when i had watched the film, I was Charlie.I was feeling the same things and going through similar things that he was going through. And to see a character like me in a film brought out some raw feelings. PBW touched me on a personal level, something that many films haven't done for me.
Everything about this film was excellent, from the script to the cast to the cinematography. Not to mention the wonderful soundtrack. It's definitely not for everyone, it's definitely not for all audiences but it works.It's the type of film made to be personal, as if it was a letter to any adolescent out there who's ever felt depressed or out of place.
