In contrast, I prefer the way "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" explores youth.
It's not that the characters are all pretentious and contrived, and I can't wait to rush out of the screen to roar at you: "Nima is a shitty youth who has
n't been in pain and crazy like me." The famous bag that the aura can't control at all, seize every second to show off your brilliance to you.
Just quietly sharing a story with you. You don't necessarily feel the same way, but you don't scoff at it. Because of the feelings of youth and growth, it shows enough real.
Charlie, a withdrawn and sensitive boy, the invisible person in every class who sits silently in the corner and doesn't even remember his classmates after graduation. By chance, I met the cheerful boy Patrick and the charming and enthusiastic girl Sam, and spent the last days of high school with them.
That was a time when the added cost of happiness was almost negligible.
Every night when I go home, I use a tape recorder to record a self-made love song on a cassette tape and give it to her favorite, or I overheard a wonderful music with an unknown name;
the last moment of the countdown on the last day of summer vacation, or running on the playground to watch the sunset.
This is a beauty that will never be replicated in the long years to come.
That's also the moment when pain can knock us down.
Think of puppy love as the true love of your life, or someone who always treats you like shit;
an exam that you can't pass no matter how hard you try, or sitting alone in the corner of the restaurant without company at lunch.
Or even more cruel. Such as Patrick's sexual orientation that was simply unacceptable to the society at that time, and even his lovers stood cowardly against him; another example was the painful scars of Charlie and Sam: the body was ravaged by the beasts of the adult world, unable to cope, a choice became more and more Rebellion, a choice becomes more and more autistic.
At those moments, it always seemed like I was walking alone in a dark tunnel with no end in sight. Unaccompanied and no exit.
Every step forward seems to weigh thousands of pounds, and the fear of the unknown ahead is even more frightening.
Cry "I quit" in your heart countless times, but what supports you is just a tiny little hope.
It was not until the moment you stepped out of the tunnel and saw the vast world in front of you that you meditated on the good fortune and finally let go: If you have never fallen in love with a bad person, how can you know who is worth cherishing? If you have never left a scar, how can you be strong enough to face all the storms ahead? How can anyone who has never endured those pains and struggles embrace this free and vast world?
In the film, Sam and Charlie and Patrick are in a speeding car, driving into a tunnel. She drove the song "Heroes" on the radio to maximum, stood outside the car, and opened her arms against the wind by her ears.
Emma Watson, who played Sam, was at the fattest stage of her life at the time. She was as stout as a woman, with an airport chest and a terrible body.
But I feel that at this moment she is so beautiful that I can't look directly at her.
In this unknown journey ahead, open your arms to meet all the joys and sorrows that come at a speed, and never back down.
This kind of youth is worthy of the word "beautiful",
it is worthy of our memory, and
it makes us proud to say: "We are infinite."
