Earlier this evening I went to see to the new movie with
Emma Watson in it called “The Perks of Being a Wallflower.” Going into it I had
no idea what it was about but when I left the theater, I was in a state of
shock. You know you have seen a great film when the credits start rolling and
the lights begin to brighten, yet no one in the theater has gotten up. Every
one sits still, gazing at the screen, reflective on what they have just
experienced.
At least that’s how it was for me and my friend, Reilly. We
sat there wiping the tears from our eyes, trying to figure out why it was that
we were even crying in the first place. All I wanted to do after the movie was
over was watch it again. It’s one of those movies that really affects the way
you look at things. If you haven’t seen it yet go, go now. It is very
insightful for people of all ages and addresses issues that we can all relate
to in one way or another; Families and friends, life and death and
the baggage that come along with them.
I’m not generally the type of person that buys movies when
they come out on DVD, but when “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” comes out, it
will definitely be a purchase I make. I think the reason this movie was so good was because not only was it originally a book, but when it was made into the movie the author of the book wrote and directed the movie.
Hmm...only if all of our favorite books adapted into movies could be done this way....
