First of all, the translation of "Wallflower Boy" is not correct. In English, wallflower refers to those who are taciturn in social situations except for "Wallflower". However, there is no such extension in Chinese, so this title will be ambiguous. The Perk of being a Wallflower, the literal translation is "the advantage of an incompatibility", of course it is not suitable as a movie name, but I think the translation should be considered when naming it.
There are detailed studies on many mental illnesses abroad, and the classification is very detailed. Social Phobia is one of the more famous ones. People with this disease will be nervous, anxious, and uncomfortable as long as they are in public. Severe patients are also accompanied by severe depression. Many people have had a similar experience, especially in adolescence, and I have it myself. There are many causes, mostly from the level of psychological cognition, fear of being looked down upon, ridiculed, and ridiculed. However, the more you care, the worse you can do, and eventually you lose confidence in yourself. So how should patients with this disease deal with themselves? How should the people around him help him?
Charlie is such a 15-year-old male patient. Even if his first day in high school is good, how many days will it take to graduate. Without friends, I was ridiculed and bullied all day long. I didn't dare to speak in class. I was called a monster. . . The turning point of things started when he tried to talk to Patrick, a freak, and met the beauty Sam (Hermione in Harry Porter). From then on, he began to try to release himself, and finally found the event in his childhood memory, the source of all the causes. He chose to face the problem squarely with the help of a psychiatrist, and finally came out of the shadows. Watching the end of the film, he could stand behind the car and laugh presumptuously at Ye Feng. I knew he had really come out, "I saw infinity" (I saw the future), he said happily.
Logan Lerman played a moderately mild patient vividly, with a good grasp of the degree, not oily, no matter whether it was body or language. Another highlight of the film is the artistic reveal of Charlie's childhood shadow events. The perfect combination of music and editing not only conveys hidden messages to adults, but also takes care of underage audiences. From the perspective of Charlie's acceptance and integration, the film clearly shows the difference between Eastern and Western cultures: Eastern culture is still relatively superficial, usually starting from the outside, and people with beautiful appearances tend to have a wider social circle; while in the West The society seems to pay more attention to the inside. He likes you to accept you more because of common topics, your personality, experience, and your help to others. What the film shows is the life of a group of 15-17 year olds, who feel that they are mature, self-conscious, and open.
The plot of the film is very simple, but it is of great significance to the parties involved. I’ve been impressed by Charlie’s inner monologue so far. The translation is probably: “It’s nice to have friends, even if sometimes we have nothing to talk about, as long as they talk to me, I’ll feel at ease.” This is the most urgent thing for people with social phobias. What you need: a sense of identity! You don't even have to praise him, as long as you give him a sense of collective belonging, it is the greatest help to him. As a patient, you must face yourself, discover your strengths and strengths, and take the first step in making friends.
There are no detailed statistics on the number of social phobias in China each year, but for the generation who grew up in the implicit and graceful cultural environment of the East, it is actually more difficult to express themselves when it comes to expressing themselves. And so far, our society has not faced this problem squarely. We don't think it is a disease, but simply attribute it to a personality problem. But I don’t know how much time and energy it would take for a person to go into society after he became an adult to overcome it? Our parents think that as long as we eat and dress well, we can get good grades, but they have never paid attention to the most difficult path of our spiritual growth. You can only give me money to keep me hungry, but if you can give me the companionship of my soul, it will be a brand new life for me! This is the real meaning of the film!
