We get hurt, hurt others, keep hurting, never stop. Just like the opening scene, the camera traverses the cold tunnel of the city with the car, The Samples sing: Could it be another change. To come and rearrange. This is destined to be a sad story with a happy ending.

Charlie, our first-year high school protagonist, has been living in vision, friendless, shy, and alone since Aunt Helen was killed in a car accident. It was not until he met Patrick and Sam, the half-brother and sister, that Charlie slowly walked out of the shadow of his life. The film is adapted from the novel. The plot of the protagonist Charlie and Aunt Helen has been interspersed throughout the story, presented with Charlie's memories and visions. When he saw his sister hurt by his boyfriend, Charlie was very angry. He didn't understand why people who love each other could hurt each other? Teacher Anderson gave Charlie the answer, We accept the love we think we deserve.

When Charlie, Sam and Patrick are driving through the tunnel for the first time, David Bowie's classic song "Heroes" suddenly plays, and Sam excitedly climbs behind the pickup and spreads his wings against the wind. At that moment, youth is a free, unfettered fantasy, a hero who conquers the self. Charlie and Sam's love is like a flickering cloud in the sky, sometimes full of enthusiasm and sometimes shy to avoid it. In Charlie's eyes, Sam is not only the girl he loves, but also one of his best friends in the first year of high school. When he was young and ignorant, Aunt Helen's deformed love for her and the reason for her death in a car accident to give her a Christmas present, the young Charlie has been in regret and anxiety. Charlie was always careful to express his love and concern for Sam, and then silently retreated to the corner, alone. Because of being hurt and witnessing the pain of others, Charlie has been restraining his feelings for Sam. It wasn't until the night of Sam's farewell party that Sam asked why Charlie didn't ask her out, why he sat in the corner instead of coming over and loving her. Charlie revealed his heart, because he had a similar experience with Sam, the love he didn't deserve, he was afraid to have it, he was afraid of hurting. Our protagonist, Charlie, is still a shy, tender kid trapped in a prison he's drawn for himself. However, even a prison is a prison that can see through the sun. Charlie found his home in Sam, and he bravely kissed her.

The story has too many memories worth cherishing. After the graduation bell rang, Patrick, Sam and the others ran to the stands of the playground. There was a beautiful sunset that day, and all the days of youth will always be remembered in the wind. At the end of the film, as sung in the song, We can beat them, just for one day. We can be heroes, just for one day. Whether it is youth or life, there will always be all kinds of difficulties. , we will be frustrated, we will be knocked down. But it doesn't matter, We are infinite, we will rise from the fall, give fate a hard blow, and become heroes of our own kingdom.
