rewatched the perks of being a wallflower and i just find it hilarious that in the scene at the football game where charlie meets sam and patrick for the first time, one of the first things sam does is steal one of charlie’s nachos and then she just steals his whole thing of nachos 😭😭. it’s a tiny detail that you won’t notice unless you have watched it a million times but I find that so silly.

perks of being a wallflower book vs movie?

oh my god I'm about to explode this is my best ask ever.

okay so I have to mention: I saw the film first. and spent ages absolutely gut wrenched because it genuinely changed my way of viewing life forever in many different ways.

and then last year for my birthday, someone gave me a second hand copy of the book as a gift and I read the whole book in a week and felt physically unwell when I finished it.

now, from my point of view, the book is better at showing the true raw reality of being a teenager with trauma and mental health issues similar to Charlie, and even the whole side story with patrick being securely queer and having to go through certain things just to feel somewhat loved, is so painfully relatable, and even Sam was very relatable in the way she let herself be mistreated for love also. They are all very real characters that we've more than likely know or been ourselves in life, and the format of the book being diary entries made so much sense to me because Ive always journaled in a story telling way.

and while the film remains in second place, it is absolutely stunning though in terms of aesthetics and showing the main elements of the book while not making a full-on only sad film. and the music choices and choice of actors is incredible I totally can picture them from the book (but once again, I'm biased bcs I saw the film first).

all in all I love both versions enormously and will never give up on them despite all the criticism the film has been getting from film enthusiasts on tiktok.

and my favourite quote remains to this day "we accept the love we think we deserve"

that was my rant for today, if you would like to discuss this subject more by messages I'd be much obliged !!

“I know you tried. I’m telling you to try again” Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“You ever think, Charlie, that our group is the same as any other group, like the football team, and the only real difference between us is what we wear and why we wear it.” -Patrick, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“Charlie, don’t you get it? I can’t feel that.

It’s sweet and everything, but it’s like you’re not even there sometimes. It’s great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn’t need a shoulder? What if they need the arms or something like that? You can’t just sit there and put everybody’s lives ahead of yours and think that counts as love. You just can’t. You have to do things.” -Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too. I want them to be able to do whatever they want around me. And if they do something I don’t like, I’ll tell them.” -Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“You know I blamed Craig for not letting me do things? […] Maybe he didn’t really encourage me to do things, but he didn’t prevent me from doing them either. But after awhile, I didn’t do things because I didn’t want him to think different about me. But the thing is, I wasn’t being honest. So, why would I care whether or not he loved me when he didn’t really even know me?”-Sam, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

“It’s okay to feel things and be who you are about them” Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
