About Campus
Charlie (Logan Lerman) is an introverted and shy boy who has just risen from middle school to high school. He is smart but not confident, as can be seen from the fact that he dare not answer the teacher's questions. Fortunately, the English teacher noticed this introverted boy and communicated with him from time to time. But the teacher's favor could not dispel Charlie's loneliness.
Although freedom and equality are often said, it feels like the strong prey on campuses in the United States. From "Spider-Man" and "Transformers", the strong will always bully the weak. And girls, especially pretty and hot girls like Mikaela from Transformers, like big mac scumbags, and they won't date shy boys. But these boys in movies are often the protagonists, Pete Parker in Spider-Man, Sam in the Transformers series. Too bad Charlie is unfortunately the kind of character who can be bullied. Not only school bullies, but even female school bullies like to bully people.
Charlie's high school career seems bleak when his best friend kills himself and a former friend alienates him. He even counted the specific number of days to spend each day, so it can be seen that the days are like years. Luckily, Charlie meets Patrick and his sister Sam (Emma Watson). They brought Charlie more friends and parties.
About a gay
party, Charlie drank a little too much, and made a lot of witty words in front of the girls. It was also at this party that Charlie bumped into Patrick and his gay guy Brad kissing.
Brad is a typical American school sports boy, followed by many small minions. But he is also very shy about his gay identity, and even if he started dating Patrick, he was worried about being found out by his family. The scene where Patrick peeks at Brad in a public setting in the movie is very well done, like we were peeking at someone we liked when we were young. Brad's dad later found them and beat Brad up badly. Brad starts dating girls while his little minions provoke Patrick. The conflict escalated, and the little minion started to beat Patrick, but Brad stood by. Charlie, who has always been taciturn, beat the villains to the ground and helped Patrick, who fell to the ground. Afterwards, Brad thanked Charlie for stopping them in time.
I'm also curious if Patrick has ever liked Charlie. There is a scene in the movie where Patrick kisses Charlie during a heartbreak after breaking up with Brad. Maybe, Patrick is emotional, but he knows Charlie is straight. A boy with high emotional intelligence like Patrick is actually very good. In modern fashion, he's an excellent gay candidate.
About cheating
Charlie likes Patrick's sister Sam, but Sam has always had a boyfriend. And Sam's friend also confessed to Charlie. Boys like Charlie have a hard time saying no and hurting others, and he has never dated girls. Charlie passively started his relationship under complicated feelings, and then the family was helping Charlie with ideas on how to solve this relationship. I think this is good for Americans. If our high school students fall in love early, the family will fall out.
The days were so tangled. Later in a Truth or Dare, Charlie kisses Sam, revealing his true thoughts, but offending all his best friends. Charlie didn't know what to do when Patrick was beaten. Charlie came to the rescue, saved Patrick and saved his relationship with his friends. Later, the girl had a new boyfriend and introduced it to Charlie generously, and they were still good friends.
If this happened to us, it might feel strange. Just like in "Struggle", the wedding of the pig head had to invite Hua Zi to come. Thinking about it now, maybe we still don't have the habit of being friends with ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, including ex-wives and ex-husbands. Most of us are.
Shadows about childhood
Sam confided to Charlie that his first kiss was taken by his father's boss. And Charlie also had a traumatic childhood, and was molested by his aunt. Charlie's shy and introverted personality, as well as his tendency to self-harm in depression, have been linked to this gray childhood experience. It was not until Charlie was admitted to the hospital that the family knew what happened that year.
News about young girls being molested is often in the newspapers, I don't know other aspects, but in this matter, our country has also been in line with international standards, and many pedophiles have appeared. The Chinese tradition is to talk about sexual discoloration, so when children describe this matter, if there is no serious injury, it will basically be ignored. The disregard for children's privacy has led to a few-year-old children running around naked without feeling anything. However, no matter how the society is, everyone should be optimistic about their children, especially beware of acquaintances.
I often wonder why our school uniforms are so fat, bloated, and ugly. It turns out that the Ministry of Education has good intentions and is protecting students.
