Charlie is an introverted young man who is always watching what is going on in his life without getting involved, until two charismatic students become his friends. Sam and his stepbrother Patrick help Charlie discover the joys of friendship, first love, music and more, while Professor Anderson causes him to dream of being a writer. However, as his new friends prepare to go off to college, his inner sadness threatens to destroy his confidence.
It is a youth film that tells us the story of Charlie, an introverted boy, who at the beginning of his first year in high school did not have any friends. He until one day he decides to go to a football game at his school and meets Patrick, a senior boy with whom they share a class together. Since that day, he begins a friendship with Patrick's group, of which the person who most attracts Charlie's attention is Sam. In this film we are going to see how a boy with a very hard story in the background, since (spoilers) his only friend had committed suicide and his aunt raped him as a child, despite his past he tries to move on and generate new ties and live new experiences. I think both Sam and Patrick are the best thing that could have happened to Charlie, because thanks to them, he was able to discover what love and friendship are and, well, also learn about music and drugs. You have to understand that they are bigger than our protagonist and that is why they try to guide and help him all the time. Although Charlie seeks the same for his friends, since he always helps Patrick and more when his girlfriend left him. Like Sam, him helping her get into college and showing her that she is worth much more than what they always made her believe/feel and that someone can truly love you, like what Charlie feels for her. I think that although it is a film that represents adolescent problems, it is still quite deep because it shows us themes such as suicide at a young age, how the fact of having been raped at a young age and more by a relative who was very dear to him. And also the stigmatization of being gay at that time, and how those people had to pretend to be something they really weren't. It's a movie that personally generated a lot of feelings for me the moment I saw it, and to this day I still think it's one of my favorite movies. Not only because of how they treat the themes that are developed in the film, but because of the relationships of the characters.
