Movie No. 51 (2013): THE PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
Director: Stephen Chbosky
Cast: Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, Ezra Miller, Paul Rudd
It's about the pains of growing up. It's about fear. It's about friendship or absence of it. It's about anything you can think about being an introvert. It's hard to be original when a novel or film has these themes as template because a lot novels have been written and lot of films have been made on these topics. But this particular film. still succeeds despite that. While it may not be completely original - and with all its flaws, which are not much - the film still manages to capture my interest. Or any other person's interest. I find the movie honest, refreshing and affecting. Logan Lerman's performance is so noteworthy. He makes the character he plays come to life.

I didn't expect much from this film. But I ended up liking it very much.
