My favourite ilm – model presentation
M3
a I would like to tell you about my favourite ilm. It is called The Perks
of Being a Walllower and it is about the emotional ups and downs
of an introverted teenager called Charlie. I am going to structure my
presentation as follows: First, I will give you some general information
about the ilm. Then, I will outline1 the plot. After that, I will explain why
I enjoyed it. Lastly, I will end with a short conclusion.
b So let me begin with some general information. It is a coming-of-age
ilm based on a bestselling novel published by the US-American writer
Stephen Chbosky. The author was also the scriptwriter and the director
of the ilm, which was released in 2013. The cast stars Emma Watson as
Sam, Ezra Miller as Patrick and Logan Lermen as Charlie. Chbosky was
awarded the 2013 Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature. The category “First
Feature” is meant for directors’ irst ilms. The ilm also won the 2013 People’s Choice
Award for Best Dramatic Movie.

c Now I would like to get to the ilm’s plot. It is set in the USA in the
present, mainly in Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
I
S
N
The ilm begins when Charlie, a shy, quiet teenager, starts high school.
He does not have friends at school and is not close to anyone in his
family either. So he writes long letters about his experiences and feelings to someone
the viewer does not know. Charlie happens to meet two high school seniors: Patrick
and his pretty half-sister Sam. Their clique soon accepts him and he takes part in their
social activities, which include also experimenting with alcohol and drugs. Charlie
takes a special role in the group of friends: On the one hand, he is the outsider, but
on the other hand he is able to understand emotional things that the others do not
see. This brings him closer to Patrick and Sam. As his friendship with Sam develops
deeper emotionally, his subconscious2 personal issues emerge: He remembers that he
was sexually abused by his aunt when he was a child. He is inally able to overcome
these issues with the help of a therapist.

e All in all, The Perks of Being a Walllower is absolutely worth seeing.
It is a heart-warming, occasionally funny, sometimes sad insight3 into
American teenage life. I certainly recommend it, especially for the brilliant
performance of the actors.

d I enjoyed the ilm for several reasons: First and foremost, I think that
the actors are well chosen and so the three main characters come across
quite convincingly. Especially Logan Lerman as Charlie is truly touching
and quickly wins the viewers’ hearts. In addition, the typical high school
situations remind old and young people of similar experiences of their
own. I also enjoyed the ilm’s message. It is about the value of friendship and shows
that we can only come to a better understanding of ourselves by interacting with
others.
