The Perks of Being a Wallflower

[Xtraz2]

somebody on tha comments said it wuz a modern day "Breakfast Club"

so i checked it out



first of all this shyt don't hold a candle to breakfast club, and i don't think tha films are really relatable

its more of a story of a boy and his personal struggle dealing with an incident from his childhood that haunts him and being an outcast in high school


i guess i'm out of touch with this new generation (i'm 30) but i can't get with all this new PC gay shyt, captain save a hoes, etc.... *insert seinfield movie theatre gif

I have never even heard of this movie. Overall, is it worth the bandwidth?

I saw it, and read the book, really liked both, it wasn't on par with 'Adventureland', which is one of the best coming of age stories, regardless of generation, but still a very well done movie. It's more heart then laughs, but it had a few moments, well acted, very relatable, it's funny my high school life was nothing like any of these movies, but still, what kid can't relate to some of the broader themes? Insecurity? Unrequited attraction? Sexual anxiety/first time?

The lead performances are all excellent, the childhood/Aunt story thread was tastefully done, and added a layer of depth, but at times, kind of distracted me from the story. It really worked for me, nostalgia, and appreciation for childhood are things that cross my mind as I near ten years after high school graduation. The bittersweet sentiment of childhood and the 'infinite' nature of adolescense is captured almost perfectly by the movie. When we were kids, we rarely thought about getting old...not old like 45, but like 25, 27, I know I didn't. I'd say makes you want to be a kid again, but it's more like you just remember when you were, and how hard it was then....but, it doesn't get any easier.

Movie seems really beige.

To each there own.

well i'm about 12 years post graduation

and thats why i usually enjoy high school films, it gives me a sense of nostalgia, and it reminds me of those 80's adventure movies, ferris day off, breakfast club, revenge of nerds, porkys, etc etc.....

however it must be a disconnect with me and tha new generation, i just thought tha whole "gay" theme wuz akward, i didn't get that fun/adventure/laugh type i wuz lookin for, it wuz a more sentimental film at most times, with a few laughs here and there.... i felt tha character chemistry onscreen wuz flat and tha lines didn't seem authentic, just said cuz they were supposed to be said

yeah i felt tha same after tha trailer

some idiot in tha comments with tha "its tha modern day breakfast club" coupled with tha rave reviews on rottentomatoes (which i'm learning after bumpin my head a thousand times not to trust anymore) is wut got me to go see it....

should of went with my first instinct

 

[Jesus]

looks like a typical cac indie hipster teen love movie...ill fukking pass

I watched it with my homie's sister.......it was weird cause there would be times where the audience laughed and I didn't get that there was even a joke, white humor I even heard ol' girl sniffling throughout the movie, I thought she had allergies

I guess my sympathy level for white people just isn't all that high.

It was a good story, nothing I'd go out of my way to watch again, but it wasn't a bad movie by any standards, more enjoyable if you're white I guess

Dude's dad was funny, if he had more screen time I would've enjoyed it more...

And @ that lil dude punking those three football players...

@ finally seeing what he went through as a kid

Ol' girl from Harry Potter is in it

 

[SuikodenII]

Oh, and as far as the comparisons to the Breakfast Club.............I would have to watch it again but as far as right now, hell fukking no

 

[Xtraz2]

Yeah there wuz a couple times I had tha face throughout tha movie
