i am forever infinite i watched the film and read the book years ago and ever since it’s been something i’ll always go back to and always be thankful for. i’ve never related to a character more than i have with Charlie, throughout high school i always felt alone so when i discovered this movie in my freshman year i was changed for good. (it won’t let me put five stars but trust)
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
"I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. We'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening. I am here and I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive, and you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song and that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear, we are infinite." You know the saying that you can watch something at a specific time and it just hits different. Yeah that's this movie for me. Damn this film hurt man. It's been a while since I genuinely cried this hard to a movie. This story follows a guy I can easily relate to on different levels. This is the story of love, loneliness, acceptance, purpose and pain. I could fully feel those feelings in every scene. Throughout the whole movie I just felt that sinking gut feeling in my chest. This honestly brought out so many emotions that I couldn't explain. The cast was amazing. I genuinely cared so much for each of the characters. I already knew this was gonna hit hard when The Smiths started playing less than 20 minutes in. The soundtrack is amazing. Each song fits perfectly with each scene. It caused the emotions to hit even more. The emotions were crazy. I was going from laughing to depressing to flat out crying. Why do I do this to myself lmao. So much of this just hit me. There is just so much going on in my head right now to put into text. It made me feel both depressed and hopeful. Just an amazing experience. Despite them being painful I still really enjoy films like this. It helps me to feel alive. "We accept the love we think we deserve."
