Movie wallflower boy
fool
There are many different emotions in this world. I wonder if we are ashamed of Charlie. People need to have a sense of shame, otherwise morality cannot be maintained. However, excessive shame can bring pain, and as a wallflower, I really understand Charlie's feelings.
In class, I dare not raise my hand to answer questions I know clearly. In fact, I am eager to get the teacher's praise. I want to take part in the activity, but I only dare to watch it by the side. In fact, I am eager for someone to help me. In the face of the person you like, you can't confess, joke or confess in your life.
Because I am afraid of being teased and extremely concerned about the reaction and consequences of my actions, I will choose to be a bystander, an outsider and a "wallflower" in most things.
After watching the movie, we found that the root of Charlie's sense of shame was his dead aunt. Charlie's aunt molested him when he was young. I went to buy him a present to shut her up and died in a car accident.
Young Charlie subconsciously blamed himself. He became introverted and shy, concerned about other people's opinions and results, and worried that his actions would have a bad influence. This pressure led to his mental illness. He doesn't know when and in what form he will collapse.
grow up
Teacher Anderson is undoubtedly a key figure in Charlie's high school life. Teacher Anderson taught Charlie two of the most important sentences.
The first sentence: you should learn to participate.
The second sentence: We only accept the love that we think is worth it.
At the end of the first class, the whole class didn't know Mr. Anderson. Charlie, who finally left, said, "You should learn to participate."
Charlie's first attempt was to get close to Patrick in the audience of the football match. Charlie is very lucky. When he first released his friendship, he received a warm response. Sam and Patrick are warm-hearted, kind, enthusiastic and outgoing people. They don't care about Charlie's wooden and inarticulate, and enthusiastically bring him into their circle of friends. After learning that Charlie's best friend committed suicide, they led everyone to welcome and comfort Charlie in the most enthusiastic way, which undoubtedly gave Charlie great spiritual encouragement.
Friendship is really the best thing in the world. In fact, the so-called introverts don't talk to anyone. We are introverted, not autistic. Like every ordinary person, we all have the need to share joy, joy and pain with others, but when expressing, we need a sense of security more, so we often talk to friends. Therefore, friendship is especially important for introverts.
However, the development of film is not smooth sailing. Charlie, who gained friendship, did not become a sunny boy as happily as in fairy tales.
The movie "The Wallflower Boy"
Wallflower is a tenacious herb, which can grow on the surface of old walls, rocks or mines.
At first, it refers to a girl who sits in a corner at a dance or party and nobody cares. Later, it refers to people who are withdrawn and introverted and can't get along with anyone.
At the beginning of the film, there is a dark and long tunnel. I don't know where it leads, but the lights keep flashing in front of me, as if it were a period of adolescence with no direction for the future and confusion.
This is a film about adolescent trauma and growth. The film is presented through two lines, involving various issues such as "school bullying", "drug abuse", "sexual orientation" and "childhood molestation". The bright line mainly tells how Charlie, a man, walks out of the past haze step by step, opens his heart to accept others and forgives himself; The Hidden Line illustrates the influence of Helen menstruation, a hidden character, on Charlie's life through his fragmented memories of childhood.
Charlie is a sensitive, timid and somewhat autistic high school student. He even thinks that high school life is only 1385 days and nights. When I was a child, Helen menstruation had an accident on the way to buy him a birthday present on Christmas Day. It haunted him like a nightmare, and he always had some strange hallucinations. When he first entered high school, introverted Charlie couldn't make any friends at school. He was like a backlit wallflower, and nobody cared about him in a dark corner until he met Patrick and Sam.
Patrick is gay, and his secret crush is Brad, the most popular captain of the school football team. Although they like each other, Brad doesn't have the courage to make their relationship public. So even if they meet in the corridor of the library, they should pretend they don't know each other. Unlike Brad, Patrick is not afraid to show his identity in front of his friends. He is confident, free and easy, witty and humorous, and he doesn't look serious at all. Many people in school call him "nothing", but he doesn't care at all, and he will in turn laugh at each other for "no creativity at all, and tell that old joke." He will use a watercolor pen to draw a fake beard on his face to imitate the teacher's class (when other senior students bully freshmen, he will play tricks on the teacher), and he will also threaten the teacher at the final exam of the handicraft class, "If you can't pass me, you will teach me next semester."
Sam is Patrick's half sister. This beautiful girl is rebellious and yearns for freedom. It seems that she was born in the spotlight and has a lot of things that Charlie doesn't have. At the same time, she is very considerate. When Charlie told her about his friend's suicide, she immediately realized that he might not have any other friends. However, under the seemingly strong appearance, it is a scarred, sensitive and fragile heart. 1 1 years old, her father's boss took her "first kiss". She is eager to be loved, but she always meets people who don't care about her.
At the school dance, Charlie, without a partner, stood alone in a dark corner with a glass. Look at Sam and Patrick in the middle of the dance floor. They enjoyed the music and lights and danced wildly. It seems that after an inner struggle, Charlie poured himself a mouthful of wine, and his clumsy body followed the beat and walked slowly into the dance floor like a cockfight.
The boy's bravery was rewarded. That night, Charlie attended Patrick's party. When Patrick raised his glass and welcomed him with his friends, he seemed to understand a little what Mr. Anderson said: "You should learn to participate."
After the party, on the way to send Charlie home, three young people suddenly heard a beautiful rock song in the car, but no one knew the name of the song. Sam suggested going to the tunnel, but Charlie unknown so went quietly. Patrick changed the direction of the car under Sam's hard work.
When the crazy rebellious girl got out of the car and stood behind the car with open arms, accompanied by the unknown Song of the Tunnel and Flying in the Wind in the fading tunnel, Charlie felt a sense of belonging for the first time in his life. "I feel infinite!"
One night, when he came home, Charlie found his sister Candice arguing with her boyfriend. In a fierce quarrel, her boyfriend slapped her sister. Charlie angrily tried to defend his sister, but Candice prevented him from telling anyone. This matter has been lingering in Charlie's mind, and he suddenly remembered Sam and Helen menstruation, who also dated some people who didn't care about them.
-"Why do good people choose the wrong person to date?" Why do great people choose the wrong person? )
We accept the love we think we have abandoned. He thinks he is only worthy of such a person. )
Soon, the life of senior one will be over. Patrick and Sam were invited by the university one after another, so Charlie can bravely raise his hand in class. The once "wallflower boy" finally began to get rid of the dark and humid corner and spread towards the sun.
However, in love, he still didn't learn to take the initiative. Those ambiguous feelings were hidden in a small tape or a melancholy poetry collection and given to Sam. But Sam doesn't know about it. After all, Charlie never asked her out.
The night before Sam left, Charlie stayed to help her pack. Remembering his previous bad emotional experience, Sam suddenly felt too young to catch anyone.
-"Why do I and everyone I love choose those who treat us like waste? Why do I and the people I love choose those who don't care about us? )
-"We accept the love we think we have abandoned." ((Because) we only accept the love that we think is worth it).
Sam couldn't help asking about Charlie, so why didn't you ever ask me out? It turns out that she also likes Charlie, but Charlie's stagnation makes her feel that no one likes herself with a bad past. "You can't just sit there and put everyone's life in front of you and think that the county is love." You can't just sit there and think that everyone's life is more important than yours and then call it love. ) Looking at Sam who has a crush on him for a long time, Charlie finally kissed him.
I thought Charlie had been able to get out of the past, but when Sam and Patrick drove away, Charlie got a little out of control, and he found that he was the only one left in the end. When he is alone, his memory is always strong. )
He returned home in a daze, and the painful memories that once happened in front of his eyes came to mind at the moment-the dispute between his sister and her boyfriend, Patrick's break with her boyfriend, and Helen menstruation's car accident. ...
Emotional storm hit him like a bullet, and he tried to hold back his sadness. "Don't cry! Stop crying! " But the waves of memory flooded him, and at that moment, Charlie collapsed. He went into the kitchen and looked at the fruit knife on the chopping block.
As a child, Helen menstruation once lived in their house because of bad feelings, and molested Charlie when he was innocent. Later, Helen menstruation's car accident left a huge shadow on Charlie. On the one hand, he hated the mental trauma she had caused him, on the other hand, he felt sorry for her death and even blamed himself for it.
At the end of the film, Charlie finally untied the knot with the help of the doctor, and Sam and Patrick came back from school to visit him. On a cool summer night, three people drove to the tunnel, and their long-sought song "Hero" was playing loudly outside the car. Charlie got into the back seat of the car, and learned to open his arms in the tunnel like Sam, feeling the madness of youth. "At this moment, I swear! We are infinite. "
Through dim lights and long tunnels, we will have an infinite sky.
