A couple
of years ago I read this novel by Stephen Chbosky, because everyone I knew was
talking about how amazing it was. While I was reading it, I did not realize how
significant this story was to everyday life. I had found the plot to be boring,
and not direct, which led me to giving it a low review. I recently watched the
film adaptation to this novel, and it completely changed my view on this story.
I found it to be heartbreaking and captivating,
The casting could not have been done
better, Logan Lerman has the face and attitude of someone you want to trust and
know will never judge you. He went from such an innocent character to someone
who was destroyed by a past with no social skills in his present. Emma Watson brought life and love to a character that wants to help flourish the wallflowers.
Everyone can relate in one way or
another to Charlie and the emotional struggles he has faced throughout his
life. On a personal level, I can understand Charlie because I have suffered
from manic depression and anxiety for the last four years. It was not an easy journey to go through, but I was happy to see all things come together in the end. I cannot say that
this is an inspiring movie since there is a long time before something goes
right in his life, but it is worth the watch.
