Another great book written by the great author, Stephen Chbosky, "PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER."
I just watched this movie yesterday since I first read the book last last lifetime. It's just I had a hard time finding a great copy for this amazing movie. I want to tell you some points that I note regarding on how I understand it in books and how it is shown in the movie.
1. Ezra Miller, who plays the role of Patrick, Sam's stepbrother is gayer in the movie than in the book. Actually, the same as Charlie, who is the protagonist in this movie. In the book, Patrick is the one who handles his relationship with Brad, as a man. Then in the movie, their actions, their words, is just not right in the movie.
2. Mary Elizabeth, an important role of this book. She's the one that leads Charlie in his true feelings. I find Mary hotter in the book than in the movie. Seriously, Alice is hotter than Mary in the movie which is not true. Well, it's okay. She did a great job in his role as well as her Rocky Horror Show.
3. EMMA WATSON IS SUPER HOT.
Well, all in all. This movie got my two thumbs up, not because it starred Emma Watson, partly it is, but it has an amazing plot. It just shows how everyone has their own respective place in this world. A place where you can be comfortable with, a place where you belong. A place where you can find the people that you'll remember and cherish for the rest of your life. And another thing, it is not bad to be a wallflower. Actually, they're smarter than the attention-seeker people. But as a wallflower, you have to make a step forward, so that you can progress in any aspect in your life. You can't expect to people to like you when you always take a step forward and take two steps backward. You just have to be yourself and let life work itself. Life has crazy ways of working.
