The perks of being a wallflower/A movie that changed me

When we talk about a movie we can describe the artistic characteristics that make this movie great and we can consider it as a real piece of cinematography for its various aspects. But today I am not here for that, I merely want to write about this particular movie because it made an impact in me. Have you ever read, heard or watched something that you identify yourself with?? Something that when it finishes you just keep staring at it, processing it all, for it affected you somehow. I personally love when that happens because when it does, you instantly make it a part of you, at some point it even makes you want to change things or at least it makes you feel like you are not so alone in this world, for there is something out there that expresses what you have been unable to express.

The Perks of being a wallflower

I can call myself guilty of watching this movie twice in just two days, and I could sincerely admit that I could watch it every day. I can not say that I have been affected by the same problems that the characters have, but the fact that confussion, anxiety, doubt, insecurity, pain and love are a big part of my messy mind each day, is what made me go out of the cinema and say Wow! we are all lost in this world, we are all just trying to figure out what we want, what we are. Pain is present every day in our lives but it is the people who we share it with and how we decide to leave it in the past and start to create our future that is truly important.
I don´t want to spoil anything for all of you that want to go watch it, my only point here is to share this amazing movie that made me feel less alone in a time of my life where things can get kind of blurry.
Its characters are portrayed by amazing young actors, impressively directed by the same person who wrote them and all of their complex and endearing personalities, Stephen Chbosky, a man who took the essence of the pain and complication that it is being young and finding your path through this confusing world.
It is the combination of the soundtrack (the smiths, david bowie, sonic youth, etc), the capture of the images, the reality and truthness of the story and the incredibly and surprising acting of this three young persons, Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Emma Watson (Harry Potter) and Ezra Miller (we need to talk about kevin), oh yeah and the brief participation of my personal love Paul Rudd :), that make this movie amazing. A movie that changed me and that inspired me to get my head off the ground and breath a little deeper. I wish it can do the same for all of you and you get to enjoy it as much as I did.

ps: i am off to read the book :D!!
