      The Perks of Being a Wallflower

      She would understan how I am both happy and sad , and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be .

      Why do nice people choose the wrong people to date ? We accepted the love we think we deserve . Can we make them know they deserve more ? We can try .
       
      I feel myself so small…I'm just asking myself that why do I and everyone love or pick people who us treat as nothing. -we accepted the love we think we deserve…You are not small , you're beautiful.

      You can't...

      we have unlimited

      Thinking about how to start, the "buzz" in my mind is all the banter from the crowd. Charlie has no friends. Charlie has no friends...with the taunting of blue eyes, the rejection of the eyes, the ugly rejection of the lips turned slightly.
        I don't know if you have, although I can't find it in my memory, but I firmly believe that I have experienced it. There must be, even now. That kind of loneliness.
        
        That loneliness hurts. Charlie wasn't looking sad or wistful, he was just...

      summer blooming flowers

      Some things are there, and you think that after so many years, they have disappeared; some things are there, and you continue to move forward through the passage of time. Life is like a splendid flower, one season is open, one season is closed, people come and go, almost forget who you used to be, a certain moment, a certain scene, a certain moment, when something touches your heart, you are instantly affected by it. Throw it back in place

      because of the past, because of the past,...

      There's no reason to die, it's just not wanting to hurt those who care.

      I was searching for movie resources just now, and I saw this movie by accident. I watched the film just after it was released last year. It was probably March or April, which happened to be the first peak of depression when it was at its worst.

      I still clearly remember that at eight o'clock in the evening, I was sitting on the bed in the dormitory with the warm yellow bedside lamp on. With the door closed, I could still hear the uncontrollable laughter of my roommates watching TV from...

      Infinite

      Sam: i have been away for two months.
               It is another world. And it gets better.
        
      Charlie: it made me not feel alone because i know there are people who say all of these things do not happen.
      and there are people who forget what it is like to be 16 when they turn 17. i know these will all be stories someday.
      and our pictures will become old photographs
      and we will all become somebody's mom or dad.
      but right now, these moments are not stories.

      Everyone has their own stories of the best years of their lives. . Everyone's story can be found in this film to some extent. . . However, the education system of the Renmei Empire is really great. Everyone in high school can already think about their own future and start to develop for their own future to some extent, and I, a student of the Great Celestial Dynasty, graduated from college and didn’t know myself. What can you...

    "Wallflower Boy" maintains the faithfulness of the source material, without sacrificing any quality of the film, through the interaction between the sound and the image, it triggers sentimental and nostalgic emotions. ( "The Atlantic" Ian Buckwalter review
    What is surprising is the cute, beautiful and young cast, especially the texture brought by Ezra Miller, who is as witty as a sensitive homosexual who speaks sarcasm. ( New York...

    Movie quotes

    • Mary Elizabeth: Charlie, Charlie, what do you think about high school?

      Charlie: High school? Bullshit. The cafeteria is called the Nutrition Center; people wear their letter jackets even when it's 98 degrees out. And why do they give out letter jackets to marching band? It's not a sport. We all know it.

      Mary Elizabeth: [laughing] This kid is crazy.

      Charlie: Mary Elizabeth, I think you're really gonna regret that, you know

      [imitates electric razor]

      Charlie: haircut when you look back at old photographs. I'm really sorry. That sounded like a compliment in my head.

    • Charlie: Patrick never likes to be serious, so it took me a while to get what happened. When he was a junior, Patrick started seeing Brad on the weekends in secret. I guess it was hard, too, because Brad had to get drunk every time they fooled around. Then Monday in school Brad would say, 'Man, I was so wasted. I don't remember a thing.' This went on for seven months. When they finally did it Brad said he loved Patrick and then he started to cry. No matter what Patrick did, Brad kept saying that his dad would kill him and saying he was going to hell. Patrick was eventually able to help Brad get sober. I asked Patrick if he felt sad that he still had to keep it a secret, and he said no. Because at least now Brad doesn't have to get drunk to love him.

    • Patrick: Hey, everyone! Every body! Everyone, raise your glasses to Charlie.

      Charlie: What did I do?

      Patrick: You didn't do anything. We just want to toast to our new friend. You see things and you understand. You're a wallflower.

      [Charlie gets embarrassed]

      Patrick: What is it? What's wrong?

      Charlie: I didn't think anyone noticed me.

      Patrick: Well we didn't think there was anyone cool left to meet! So come on everyone. To Charlie!
