The troubles of young Charlie

Relived "The Wallflower Boy", it turned out to be watching a new film.

I only remembered Sam, who played the role of "Hermione" Emma Watson, and Miller, who will be the actor in the movie "The Flash".
As for the male protagonist-Charlie was really forgotten by me. Just like the "Wallflower" in the movie title, Charlie is really like a wallflower. No one has noticed his existence.

Foreign youth films are praises. Compared with China, there is always a different kind of inspiration and touch.
You see, the domestic youth films fall in love and break up abortion and go abroad if they don't agree... full of routines. Otherwise, the strong insertion of dozens of nostalgic golden tunes is far less sincere than the foreign youth films-it is not a fetish of foreigners. In some places, the domestic youth films are indeed not excellent.

As for foreign youth films, there are nothing more than three themes-"Sex, Drugs & Violence".
Sex, love that ends at a click. Sam and Charlie, Patrick and the guy who plays American football, Sister and Ponytail, Charlie and the punk girl...
Drugs, Charlie, who is licking high, talks to everyone. Weed is just a medium, not the main one.
Violence, the only violent conflict in the film focused on Charlie standing up for Patrick.

Let’s go back to this movie. The movie features an introverted and shy little boy, Charlie. For the first ten minutes, he expresses his loneliness. He has no friends and dare not talk to others. He eats breakfast in the corner silently. Individuals are unwilling to answer questions, in short, they are all kinds of incompatibility.

In order to increase the effect of the tragedy, the director actually designed a plot of "childhood trauma" for Charlie. The young Charlie was violated by his aunt. In order to make up for Charlie, the aunt went out to buy cakes but did not expect to have a car accident... To be honest, this paragraph " Is the childhood shadow" really necessary? In addition to accentuating Charlie's sense of tragedy, it can't promote the plot at all. Oh, except for the conversation between Charlie and Sam, Sam said he was molested by his father's boss, and Charlie said he had the same experience.

The youth in the first half is quite missed and envious. A bunch of good friends spend every day playing and playing, partying, dancing, driving, and love.
This is simple youth, far less intrigue.
And after Charlie took the courage to take the first step, he also met many good friends and gained his own love. It is gratifying, but all of this was interrupted by an illness at the end of the film. I really can’t figure out the plot. Why do you want to shoot...
In the end, everyone left, only Charlie stayed. The narration when he opened his arms at the end was really appropriate, "We have infinity at this moment."
And David Bowie's "Heroes" sounded at the right time, be your own hero, even one day.

The troubles of young Charlie are the troubles of ordinary teenagers.
About love, about school work, about friends... The
movie was shot in a more beautiful way, praising Emma Watson, she played this kind of academic domineering role is really suitable for her. Although her visual sense is "Hermione", she does not stick to Hermione, creating a little girl who is bold and humble on the outside. It's the iron triangle again, their relationship is really good.

Well, the above is all the gibberish after reviewing the movie, and I can write it wherever I think, so be it.
