The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky wasn't as well known until the movie came out starring Logan Lerman and Emma Watson.
Logan Lerman as Charlie |
Emma Watson as Sam |
Both portrayed their characters beautifully. They're both wonderful actors with a lot of potential and I can't see where they go next.
The movie followed the book impeccably and that can't be said for many movies that are based off of books. There were a few scenes that I wish they had put in the movie from the book but overall it was wonderful.
The book itself was beautifully written. The use of letters made the content seem a lot more personal as well as relatable. It illustrates how difficult it can be for any teenager to find their place, especially in a high school setting.
Sam, Charlie, and Patrick |
Charlie's trauma however sets him aside from everyone else, which is why he is probably attracted to Sam and Patrick's little band of misfits. They all have their problems, but they stick together like a family, which is a lot like the real world.
We are Infinite. |
