      I love you Charlie Bartlett

      I enjoyed the film---it was quite offbeat and Charlie's character was pretty engaging and delightful---it was refreshing to see a rich kid that wasn't portrayed as a snobbish know-it-all, who was actually kind of sweet & eccentric (and a little manipulative when he had to be.). The thing with Charlie, I think, is that he simply wanted to be popular, and he also had some issues with his father not being around. In fact he says at one point in the film that he didn't know where he fit in...

      Hey

      Everyone has their own story, no one's life is always smooth sailing, no one's life is always terrible, no one is always so special, no one is always so ordinary.
        Charlie is awesome and everyone needs his help. No, not really, everyone just needs to do what they want to do, but they don't have the confidence to need others to affirm themselves. Charlie is a child, he needs help from others, it's not that he can't do anything, it's like he almost killed his classmate indirectly, he can't...

      tortured to death~

      The headmaster is a father, but a failed father, especially after meeting Charlie, became a failed headmaster.
      Perhaps where there is oppression, there is resistance.
      In order to keep abreast of the whereabouts of the students, the principal installed probes in the four corners of the school. The students are afraid of the principal's power, but they hate it in their hearts.
      The story culminates with the arrest of Charlie, the relationship between the daughter and her father is...

      BE YOUR OWN CHARLIE BARTLETT

      I originally came for KAT DENNINGS, but after watching ANTON YELCHIN's performance, I have to say that it is very good. This CHARLIE BARTLETT, a young man who fantasizes about becoming the focus of people's attention every day, his experience is actually very similar to that of most teenagers. He is full of passion and fantasy, and he has to face the ruthless reality. The correct growth process, the maturity of the mind sometimes has to go through the ravages from one extreme to the other, with...

      Very impressed with if u wanna sing out

      Watching this film with great interest
      , but it doesn't seem to be that exciting
      . It's not my style,
      but there is still a bright spot. It
      must be the song Susan sang at the end.
      If u wanna sing out ,
      it sounds good

      Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
      And if you want to be free, be free
      And if you want to live high, live high
      And if you want to live low, live low
      And if you want to be me, be me
      And if you want to be you, be...

      2013.6.4 You have to grow up if "you have one parent ditched and then the other one lose their mind". There is a reason why a child has maturity that does not match his age, but he is always a child. This movie is higher than I expected, 3.5 stars. (The principal is drunk and cute when he is fired...)

    Movie plot

    Being expelled from school is already commonplace for Charlie Bartlett, after almost all private schools closed the door to him, he had to go to public school to continue his studies. However, the atmosphere in public schools is obviously much rougher and wilder. He has been beaten up soon after he enrolled, and he has a pitiful face looking for teeth with a bruised nose and swollen face all day long. But slowly he got used to it....

    Evaluation action

    Screenwriter Justin Nash's screenplay received unanimous praise after the screening of "Charlie Bartlett". The subtlety is that a seemingly disorganized formation can firmly attract the audience to the plot development of the film and hide the overall structure invisible. Of course, it may be too early to promote the film in this way, because one of the fatal injuries of the film is the obvious crack in cooperation between the...

    Movie quotes

    • Charlie Bartlett: My name is Charlie Bartlett. If there's one thing I want you guys to walk away with tonight... uh, it's that you guys don't need me. I really mean it. You think I'm any less screwed up than you are? I get up every morning, and I look in the mirror, and I try and figure out just where I fit in. And I draw a complete blank. You guys are looking to me to tell you what to do? You need to stop listening to me. Stop listening to people telling you who you should be! And stop listening to the people who are telling you you're not good enough to do the things that you want to do. You guys have all the answers.

    • Susan Gardner: I guess what I'm trying to say is, it just... It kind of sucks having one parent ditch, and then the other one lose their mind.

      [pause]

      Susan Gardner: I mean, how can I possibly hope to turn out even remotely functional?

      Charlie Bartlett: Yeah.

    • Susan Gardner: What's the deal with your father?

      Charlie Bartlett: Does that really have to be the next question?

      Susan Gardner: Yes. The harder the question, the greater the reward.

      Charlie Bartlett: He's in prison. My Mom went into a pretty bad depression when he got arrested. So, uh, when he was out on bail he took me out for ice cream. He told me I had to take care of her. So, I promised him I would. And um, I've been taking care of her ever since.

      Susan Gardner: So who takes care of you?
