Thank you JV for this reaction. This movie is very important to me and the fact my favourite content creator had such a meaningful reaction to it means a lot. seriously Charlie as a character has always been a very relatable character to many people. To me he's always been more than that. I shared his entire highschool life. In grade 9 i was a loner with no friends, an unhealthy dose of depression and anxiety with some overpowering ADHD. I had/ve amazing family, parents like his and an older sister who were all very kind, but i shared the same relationship as Charlie does. I would spend summers talking to only my parents, and days at school by myself just enjoying what I could. Music class was sort of my "English class". All until in grade 11 I found out of almost pure luck these guys who I could feel like myself around and started to get much happier, and we are all still amazing friends to this day, having of never met them idk where I would be right now today. This part has been hard to put into words, but I feel its also the *most* important part of the movie. His relationship with his aunt and how they portrayed it has always stuck with me. The movie shows Charlie remembering his Aunt in a nice way during the start of the movie, and we are to be experiencing Charlies perspective, so HE seems to remember her in a good way. Even with the knowledge we know now, he his entire life had to deal with the unknown trauma that he innocently endured at an age far to young. The effect that has on ones mind, let alone a young man in the society that makes us feel like this are suppose to be nothing to guys and how we should be fine all the time. This was touched on in a very accurate way that is both horrifying and confusing. Just like the movie showed Charlie dealing with these thoughts even 10 or so years later he is conflicted on what he had to experience. This is something that happened to myself when I was quite young for 2 years at the hand of my only friends older brother. I remember sharing thoughts of laughter and joy when I thought of him but the confliction and ANGER stays inside your soul, and Charlie perfectly showcases this SUPPRESSED emotion. The idea that someone close to you does this sort of thing without your brain being able to even comprehend it is indescribable. The movie shows Charlie as extremely introverted and depressed, but it does it in a way where it highlights possibly one of the main things about his personality -- Sam said "You can't always put everyone elses happiness before yours and call that love" -- I relate to this statement a lot, because for so long you feel as if your emotions are just as conflicted as they are distant, but you want to be happy and can't find a way to become happy. So you put others happiness before yours to try and feel a little bit of that for yourself. Its a special kind of selfishness mixed with selflessness . As shown in the scene with Mary Eliz and Sam when Charlie broke up with her by kissing Sam, he had spent the whole time bottling up emotions he didn't know how to feel and express and made a very regrettable and stupid decision. This also is very well shown in the scene where he protects Patrick and literally blacks out in a rage. For a person who has suffered a lot its hard to think, and just as in battle when you are feeling like its life or death you are stronger, this is what happened with Charlie. He was experiencing inside his brain a battle, feeling like life or death. When people often say "Oh man i see red when i fight, watch out" that is just a whole bunch of talk, but you never once hear Charlie talk about fighting, showing any ego or whatever. These are moments that are real and very scary. In grade 10 my dog who was my best pal passed away, and I was in english class being messed with by these kids who would like to make fun of my hairline in gr10 mind you. The things were bottling up in a very blurry way which once physically touched by the kids I lifted their 3 person bench desk and slammed it on them, punching the cement wall fracturing my wrist, fully blacked out in rage i showed so much power in that punch it had actually scared myself, i never had training at all. The reality of this is just all about the trauma Charlie ( and I ) had gone through, not telling anybody and not able to process the things that happened made me into some shell of a person. The line "you can't change where you come from, but you can change where you go from here" always helped me immensely because knowing what happened, I am still me and im a loving individual who deserves his own happiness and love. The hardest part of this movie to me is watching the parents find out. The absolute horror the parent must feel, I had the same interaction with my parents and it was the most heartbroken i've seen my father. The beauty of this movie is really in how Charlie acts, he is just such a kind guy who people when they KNOW him always love to be around, his entire family and current friend group accept him and love him when he himself still can't find it in him to love himself. He still chooses to be kind. If i took only one thing away from this movie, it would be that you can always choose to be kind to others, and help those realize they deserve love. Sorry for writing all of this dont mean to dump this but I just felt like i needed to share it ! -- Thank you Justin for who you are. --

2025-03-28 01:10:41 +0000 UTCThank you so much for the reaction! As someone who went through what Charlie and Sam went through, this movie (this movie came out when I was in Highschool perfect timing lol) and book helped me through some rough times. I absolutely love this movie and am so glad you liked it.

2025-03-27 23:14:58 +0000 UTCThank you for that choice! I discovered this film in high school and I realise from watching this again that my memory had forgotten the most violent parts. This film is really essential and demonstrates the scandalous banality of the abuses of our patriarchal societies. Homophobia, violence against children and violence against women all stem from it. As for the fight scene, I think that when you push someone, anyone, the force can come out unexpectedly. And as for Charlie, it's a wonder he didn't explode on his comrades earlier. Moreover, his personality had been altered by years of repression, so it's not hard to imagine that for a moment his rage came out? I don't know, that's my theory. Ps: go for the Harry Potter's marathon!
