I finally saw this movie a month or so ago and I was bawling at the end because just OMG!!! That movie was like me! His feelings and being alone was like well shit. I have depression and am borderline bipolar two. So I can relate. I need to get the book now too. It was such a powerful movie and I loved it. Another good movie is Silver Linings Playbook it kinda focuses on mental illness and picking yourself back up. I loved it too.
Dude, this book nearly killed me. I connected more to Charlie than any other character ever. And I was in a weird depression funk for like weeks after. It just... ugh... spoke to me on a very emotional level, as cheesy as that sounds. And the movie was spot on excellent and beautiful and I just cried a big mess. It was bad.
@ Neche Narcissist RIGHT IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING because I am so not the type to cry in movie theaters or in general really like seriously I am an emotionless person but when it comes to certain tv shows/movies I bawl and in Perks the tears was rushing out of me and idk if my friend cried but I couldn't look over and check because my eyes were too wet and I didn't want her to see hhahaha
I'm so sorry that that happened to you when you were younger :((
I didn't resonate with the movie as much as you did, but I did connect in some ways and my god did I bawl like a motherfucker when this movie was on. There was this point in the movie (I don't remember when, but it was sometime near the end) when this really sad moment happened, and so I started crying, and once I had stopped crying, ANOTHER sad scene came on and christ man, I just lost it in the movie theater. IT WAS HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL and the acting was spot on. Easily one of my most favourite movies. Logan Lerman did an excellent job of breaking my heart over and over again.
