The Perks of Being Wallflower(2012 Film):10th Anniversary

[unblogparaloschicos]

Personajes: Patrick Stewart

"Aceptamos el amor que creemos merecer", le dice el Sr. Anderson (Paul Rudd) a su alumno Charlie (Logan Lerman) cuando éste le hace la clásica pregunta de porqué la gente buena consigue malas parejas. ¿Será realmente así?

Corre 1991 y Charlie, que padece una depresión clínica desde su infancia, tras el fallecimiento de su tía Helen (Melanie Lynskey), y agravada por el suicidio de su mejor amigo. El instituto parece (es) un lugar poco feliz para alguien en su condición, pero logra conectar con Sam (Emma Watson) y su hermanastro, el inefable Patrick (el tan talentoso como problemático Ezra Miller), iniciando una amistad tan profunda como necesaria.

Patrick es gay, no hay ningún rollo con eso, y ha mantenido un romance secreto con Brad (Johnny Simmons), lo cual genera especial tensión en éste, miembro del equipo escolar de fútbol americano y figura popular del colegio. Todo el mundo lo llama "Nadie" debido a una mala respuesta de su profesor de carpintería, interpretado por la leyenda del maquillaje cinematográfico Tom Savini, frente a una de sus bromas. Aunque Charlie es el protagonista de la película, Patrick es quien brilla a cada instante, que son muchos. Es quien aporta el histrionismo y locura necesarios para contrarrestar la seriedad de Sam y la depresión de Charlie. Su alegría, su innato don para las travesuras y su complicidad, ejercen, para Charlie, la confirmación de que la vida es más que los miedos y los pesares que, a veces, la conforman.

Stephen Chbosky lo hizo prácticamente todo: escribió el libro homónimo en 1999, lo adaptó en un guion, produjo y dirigió "Las ventajas de ser invisible" ("The Perks of Being a Wallflower", 2012) o, como se la conoció en España, "Las ventajas de ser un marginado". Una película que, más que ver, se siente con el alma y que cuenta con un elenco brillante que incluye a Dylan McDermott y Kate Walsh como los padres de Charlie; Nina Dobrev y Nicholas Brown como la hermana del protagonista y su agresivo novio; Mae Whitman como Mary Elizabeth, amiga que quiere ser algo más de Charlie, y Joan Cusack como la doctora Burton, psiquiatra que atiende al atribulado joven.

Imaginary Friend - Summer read 2

Imaginary Friend is a novel written by Stephen Chbosky that delves into the realms of horror, mystery, and psychological thriller. Chbosky takes a sharp turn in this book to explore a different genre with a compelling and chilling narrative.

The story revolves around Kate Reese and her young son, Christopher, who are trying to escape an abusive past by relocating to the seemingly idyllic town of Mill Grove. However, their new beginning takes a dark turn when Christopher goes missing in the woods for six days. When he returns, he appears unharmed but with a mysterious and intense urge to build a treehouse in the woods, as instructed by an eerie voice only he can hear.

As the plot unfolds, Chbosky masterfully weaves elements of psychological horror, supernatural occurrences, and the complexities of human relationships. The town of Mill Grove itself becomes a character in the story, with its secrets, history, and inhabitants adding layers of intrigue and tension.

The pacing of "Imaginary Friends" is both its strength and weakness. Chbosky excels at building suspense and keeping readers on the edge of their seats, but the book's length can make the pacing uneven at times. The shifts between past and present events, as well as the multiple perspectives, contribute to the intricate web of the story but may also occasionally lead to confusion.

Chbosky's writing style is vivid and descriptive, creating a deeply atmospheric setting that immerses the reader into the unsettling world of the novel. The characters are multi-dimensional and realistic, with their struggles and vulnerabilities adding depth to the narrative. The dynamics between the characters, especially Christopher and his mother Kate, are poignant and emotionally resonant.

While "Imaginary Friends" is a horror novel, it also explores themes of trauma, resilience, and the power of imagination. The book poses questions about the nature of belief, the fine line between reality and imagination, and the lengths to which a person will go to protect their loved ones.

In conclusion, "Imaginary Friends" is a gripping and ambitious exploration of horror and psychological suspense. With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and chilling atmosphere, the novel is a roller-coaster ride of emotions and terror. While it may be a departure from Chbosky's previous work, it showcases his versatility as a writer. Fans of horror and psychological thrillers will likely find this book to be a compelling and haunting read.

Wonder de Stephen Chbosky

Mon avis : Tout d'abord, j'ai lu le livre Wonder de R. J. Palacio. Si j'ai adoré le livre, j'ai eu un coup de cœur foudroyant pour ce film. Il est juste magnifique, plein d'émotion à vous en déchirer le cœur :) de rire et pleur. Je trouve que l'adaptation est assez fidèle au livre et qu'il se complète l'un, l'autre. Les acteurs jouent merveilleusement bien. Mon avis n'est pas tout à fait impartial, car j'adore Julia Roberts. Elle est superbe dans le rôle de mère d'August et surtout extrêmement touchante. L'acteur d'August colle totalement au personnage, il est émouvant. J'en ai versé quelques larmes. C'est un battant. Sa sœur, Via, et lui sont lié, ils influencent tellement la vie de l'un et l'autre, sans doute encore plus à cause de le handicap d'August. J'ai un faible pour le père d'August, il est joueur, ne se laisse jamais abattre, c'est un peu le pilier _content_ de la famille. Il me fait un peu penser à mon père à moi.

Pour ce qui est des camarades de classe d'August, j'ai un énorme faible pour Jack et Summer pour... Il va falloir voir le film pour en deviner la raison ;) Vous l'aurez compris, je vous le conseille. Vous aimez les films qui vous font passer du rires aux larmes. Eh bien ! Ce film est fait pour vous!!! Read the full article
