no offense but this movie is everything to me. and i'd also like to say it's not about being an introvert, or being quiet. it's about struggling with something so hard and feeling like you'll never recover. it's about finding hope and about finding the light. it's all i've ever wanted to do. and i know that someday, all this pain will go away. and it'll be so worth staying for.
as you should. you should feel alive at all times, because thats life. whenever you are having a bad day, just feel your heartbeat. and remind yourself, life's too short to not feel alive.
I grew up in Pittsburgh, and I never felt the same way about driving through the Fort Pitt tunnel after I saw this movie. It gave it so much more meaning and showed everyone how amazing shooting out of the tunnel into the city is ❤️
In the book, it ends with “tomorrow, I start my sophomore year of high school. And believe or not, I’m really not that afraid of going. I’m not sure if I will have the time to write any more letters Because I might be too busy trying to “participate.” So, if this does end up being my last letter, please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough. And I will believe the same about you. “ Love always, Charlie
I’ve seen a lot of movies, but no movie ending beats this one. There is so much meaning put into this movie and the ending really made me feel hopeful. I’ve struggled with life and dealing with the crap that it has with having almost no friends. But this ending helps anyone realize that we are all precious and beautiful in our own unique way, and no one should tell us otherwise. Strive to be the best self you can be. That’s what I see Charlie start to do in this ending. He admits his struggles, but he also is able to find the good in the bad. The words he says give me the feels every time I hear it. So iconic.
Gosh... I just love those Last lines of his " Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen. There are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17. I know these will all be stories someday. And our pictures will become old photographs. And we'll all become somebody's mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening. I am here. And I am looking at her. And she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you're not a sad story. You are alive. You stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you're listening to that song on that drive... with the people you love most in this world, And in this moment, I swear... we are infinite. "
2:10 might be one of the most powerful shots in filmmaking history. The song buildup, the speech he’s giving, the way the lighting reflects perfectly through the tunnel. Such an incredible moment!
I`m 49 years old, and believe me, these moments are real, a moment when you wish time would stop, right here, right now, last forever, "You are not a sad story"....and....indeed, you are infinite. What a glorious, beautiful scene.
Such a great fucking scene. It always brings me to tears. It really makes me think about my life and ai don't want to be a sad story. When he says "I am looking at her and she is so beautiful". It really just made me cry. Such a beautiful scene
This movie hits me in the feels each and every time I sit down to watch it. It makes me happy, but incredibly sad at the same time. I mourn my teenage years. I celebrate the happy times. I wish I would have done more. I know I could have done more. But, overall, I’m glad I lived through it all.

I love reading people’s ‘tunnel songs.’ Makes me want one too :) and although I love David Bowie’s “Heroes,” that wouldn’t be my tunnel song. The tunnel song is more about the moment someone is in and the emotions they’re experiencing that make them feel infinite and invincible. I’ve heard songs that have made my skin prickle and my eyes well-up, but my ‘infinite’ moment was when I was 16; it was with my 2 closest friends. The three of us were like the three inseparable amigos. We were always hanging-out during and after school in our own little clique. When one of them had just gotten her license and a car, she drove us to the beach. Since we live in Southern California, the beach wasn’t that far. About an hour- which was a lot to a couple of 16 year olds. At the time, that was the farthest and latest I had been with just friends and no adults. Since it was about 1am, there were no people except us. Gazing into the beach was like looking into an abyss; a pitch-black nothingness. Kinda ominous-looking, but also cool. We were too high on euphoria to worry anyways. Quickly, we undressed and then ran toward the water, squealing and laughing our cold asses off. I felt infinite. The sound of the waves is my tunnel song because it makes me happy, but also sad and nostalgic. Each of us drifted apart later in life (it happens), but that moment we shared will stay with me.
I remember my senior year prom, and going with my gf at the time. It was the most independence I had been given so far, taking my car to downtown Houston and being out past midnight. I didn’t know houston well enough, and we had music playing, she tried keeping up with the map, but couldn’t make out the next exit. We were laughing and yelling “WHERE DO WE GO? WERE GONNA GET LOST! OH WELL!! IM TAKING THIS EXIT, TOO LATE!” Eventually, we made it to our destination, but in that moment, it was the sound of our laughs and view of the city from that specific freeway exit that made me feel infinite.
Guys this is all so damn beautiful....it really shows that there's more to life....sorry for being so emotional ...but you're words really moved me ...
This movie really helped me growing into myself and out of depression. Finally made me feel seen and heard. I heard my heart for once telling me there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
Got to be the best ending scene to any teen/coming of age movie ever, should have won awards. It makes me cry but also be filled with happiness and make me think so much. Just all round great movie and especially good scene
The movie was set in the early 1990s. It wasn't as easy to figure out songs back then, especially if you miss the DJ saying its name before it gets played.
@V-Rex At the start of the movie, they were only listening to the tunnel song on the radio. It wasn't until the end (this scene) that they knew the song's title (thanks to Sam's friend) and wrote it down on the tape case. That's what I was commenting on.
@@adwaithratnakaran8017 That's a fair assessment. Stephen Chbosky, the writer and director of the movie and the original author of the book, has openly acknowledged this aspect and understands it, but he swears up and down that he and his friends did not know what the song was in their youth.
@vince I listen to this every time I feel sad and it never fails to make me cry. It helps me feel better afterwards knowing one day I’ll feel infinite. One day I hope to feel like how Charlie did .
Ikr ‼️😭its like after High school u almost completely change without even knowing it. Then u watch movies like this that makes u reminisce about the old days💯
I memorized this poem by heart. I felt every single word. I was so so depressed when I watched this and it helped me through so much, "we are infinite" reminded me that one day ill get out of this bad situation and ill find happiness and I did, I have a 1 yr old baby boy who stole my heart and a husband who loves me unconditionally. For anyone who is struggling, please, wait, things with get better 🖤
This hits on such a deeper level now that I’ve been out of HS for 10 years. My friends in those now old photographs are on the path of becoming someone’s mom or dad. There’s so much truth to these words.
“I can see it, this one moment when you know you’re not a sad story, you are alive.” Is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It makes me sob and it just makes me feel like I can keep going.
As a Pittsburgher, coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel truly is a soul reset. There’s something about it that just puts you at ease every time and it feels exactly like this scene shows
Having never seen more than the first half hour of this movie I can truly say that this is one of the most powerful and emotional scenes I’ve ever seen. Just the simplicity paired with the voice over makes it that much more beautiful.
Crying tears of admiration towards the ending scene it hurts so beautifully, I’d give anything to feel that way with people I adore I think it’s so beautiful that we all even have a chance of experiencing something like that at least once in this lifetime, a moment of pure bliss where it doesn’t matter what you do or where you go next, you just let yourself be here now and feel.
My first year at uni was very lonely. I was in a new city and had no friends. Then a couple of people asked me to hang out. Just last week, when we were sitting in a pub, having burgers and just talking, I looked at them and I wanted time to slow down. Just when you think all is lost, a ray of light shines on you.
My favorite book of all time! I remember that I was reading this while on vacation with my family. My brother and I shared our hotel room. While he watched TV I read this book. In the final chapter, he is watching this dumb TV show and all of a sudden he hears me crying. I felt infinite!
I hate when ppl say it’s ab being an introvert cuz it’s not , it’s ab struggling with something so deep something that u feel like u have no hope and u’ll never recover and u eventually find hope and it’s the best thing ever .
I don't know if I will have the time to write any more letters because I might be too busy trying to participate .So if this does end up being the last letter, I just want you to know I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who's gone through it, you made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen and there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17, I know these will all be stories some day and our pictures will become old photographs and we'll all become somebody's mom or dad but right now, these moments are not stories, this is happening. I am here and I am looking at her and she is so beautiful. I can see it, this one moment when you know you're not a sad story, you are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder, and you're listening to that song on that drive with the people you love the most in this world, and in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.
I feel this as much at 30 as I did at 16, still struggling with depression and finding my place in the world, but I’m getting there. My tunnel song is Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
The amount that this movie has changed my life is beyond belief. As an introvert it told me to get out there and make lifelong friends. Now I have an amazing boyfriend and friends that took me out of a dark place. Every time I watch the movie I SOB because it reminds me how much I love my friends and how this movie saved me. Now I’m just waiting for my tunnel scene.(i won’t stand up tho i don’t wanna die)
I was an adult when this movie came out. Married with children in my career, but this took me back to my high school days and made realize how much I was like Charlie. But also had a Sam in my life. I wished I was back in high school so that I could participate more. What a great quote and movie.
“I know these will all be stories some day, and our pictures will become old photographs. We all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”
this is like a dream for someone with social anxiety/ introversion having people that actually want to take interest in you while you think your boring...
I can remember it was in 2016 when my teachers showed this movie to the entire grade. It was life changing, I still remember watching the ending to this film grinning and crying.
man I’m a huge fan of Bowie’s music, like he helped through the hardest times and I related a lot to Charlie when I watched it for the first time, then I heard Heroes and I jus my started crying. Such a great movie and scene.
This scene was to this generation as The Sandlot was for ours. “At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time and nobody knew it”.
We just need Logan to take part in at least one of the Fantastic Beasts sequels, and then all three of the Wallflowers will also be part of the Wizarding World.
As a got older and older this film continues to make me feel alive and important, and most of all. Young. I know I said "older" and all, but since as was a teenager I always have this "adult" behavior towards a lot aspects in my life, and sometimes I forget what is like to be infinity and had the wind blowing at my face while I'm with my friends. This movie remind me about this stuff and make happy.
When I was a junior in high school, I found the audio book on TH-cam. A day later, I got a call that sent me through a headspin. The world was so small then. Something that doesn't even make a ripple in my life now, was shaking my entire foundation at 16. On the verge of tears, I found a small wall outside my house, popped in my headphones, and layed my arms crossed over my knees as I drifted off the earth. I couldn't see or touch him, but Charlie was so real to me in that moment, he may as well have been sitting next to me. He was my friend. I'm 24 now. Some things have changed. I'm more responsible, more aware of the world, and less emotional. Some things stayed the same. I'm still super young, still not a clue what to do with my life, and I still turn to Charlie in times when I seek the comfort of an old friend. In these times, I look back on those days when the world was small and think how today will seem small when I'm older, but it never means that he's not there. He's with all of us. We can feel him. And we are infinite.
this is my favorite movie. i have related to charlie so much, his mental breakdown scene is something i have gone through multiple times. i will always cherish this movie.
i can´t believe how EVERY TIME i watch this movie, specifically this scene, it makes me cry a lot. It just moves something in my heart, something related to the meaning of life, about feeling infinite, about not only surviving, but living every second like it is the last.
I watched this movie during my final weeks of high school; our teacher just let us watch movies because finals were done and there was nothing else to do. I loved this movie. I had a pretty lonely upbringing and movies like this give me hope that maybe one day I’ll find a good group of friends who value me, and I won’t be so sad anymore.
I was the typical oxymoronic student in high school... the smart jock. But, I've never related more to a group of friends than this. True friends that were real people and genuinely cared about each other. What a beautiful, timeless film this is.
What makes this so brilliant is the very realistic sentiment that this moment doesn't last, and that's okay. we were all 17, living with the ones we loved once. That moment ends, naturally. what I love is that this movie doesn't act like it lasts forever. You know it doesn't. but it's this beautiful, bittersweet nod to how our characters changed before we were adults. How we came to be who we are through our experiences in younger life. ugh. i love this movie
I love that in the film they made it seem possible that Charlie & Sam would have a long distance relationship... The book was GREAT, but it really left me wondering if they even had a chance. I feel like they could have wound up together, especially since Stephen Chbosky directed the film himself. Kind of seems like that was his vision after all these years? What do you guys think??
I remember my friend Sol showing me this movie for the first time back in like 2014, I wish I could erase it from my memory and rewatch it all over again to get that feeling I had when I first watched it.
I don’t know if I will have the time to write anymore letters because I might be too busy trying to participate. So if this does end up being the last letter, I just want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn’t know what I was talking about or know someone who’s gone through it. You made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don’t happen. And there are people who forget what it’s like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen. And know these will all be stories someday and our pictures will become old photographs and we’ll all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now these moments are not stories. This is happening. I am here and I am looking at her and she is so beautiful. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story, you are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on buildings and everything that makes you wonder, when you were listening to that song on that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.
I watched this movie 1 year ago from a recommendation from a Tik tok video. During the time I watched it I was going through the weird post high school phase where you lose touch with your high school friends. I watched this movie and related to everything that was going on. I remember watching this scene and thinking “that is exactly the friends I want. That’s what I want to be doing right now”. About a month later I found a friend group from a church who invited me on a RV trip across the west coast. I had the time of my life on this two week trip and finally was happy with where I was in life. One night we were driving back from the Grand Canyon visitor center and they were playing music loudly with the roof off and driving through the mountains. This song came on the radio and i instantly thought of this movie and how just a few months prior I was watching it and wishing that could be me. Last month i went to Florida to visit a friend. We were driving back from Disney after a fun day and this song again came on the radio. And just yesterday I found a friend who enjoys biking and we did a 20 mile ride and then stopped for lunch. This song came on the restaurant speakers and I thought again of the movie. For some reason I only hear this song when I’m living my “tunnel moment”. I don’t know if it’s a spiritual thing or not, but I love that it keeps happening. Every time I’m enjoying myself or on a road trip I try to play this song and just close my eyes and take in the moment.
I always felt that my real self wasn't good enough. I could see all these vibrant personalities vying for the limelight and felt that it was the only way to be. Seeing this film, seeing Charlie and seeing every bit of myself in him was the biggest epiphany I've had. I can be myself and I am enough.
no offense but this movie is everything to me. and i'd also like to say it's not about being an introvert, or being quiet. it's about struggling with something so hard and feeling like you'll never recover. it's about finding hope and about finding the light. it's all i've ever wanted to do. and i know that someday, all this pain will go away. and it'll be so worth staying for.

Best ending for a teenage movie.
In the book, it ends with “tomorrow, I start my sophomore year of high school. And believe or not, I’m really not that afraid of going. I’m not sure if I will have the time to write any more letters Because I might be too busy trying to “participate.” So, if this does end up being my last letter, please believe that things are good with me, and even when they’re not, they will be soon enough.

You should read the book, it’s just as good, if not better than the film
Agreed however jojo rabbit hit me harder with its ending
I'm big on movie endings and, although this a good movie overall with a good message, I have seen better. Sorry.
you don't cry watching this... you cry recalling the memories with your lost friends and ask for one last chance to meet them again
You cry because you never had those kind of friends and you never will
The Doctor Disco hey hey hey. That attitude is not appreciated.
You cry because it's so beautiful and real and you can't help empathise and dream for a moment like that.
+Elvie Rose Robinson Those friends still exist. They went on to college so, so should you. It takes effort but it will be worth it.

My "tunnel song" would be M83's Midnight City.

It took me a while to realize that this movie takes place in the 80’s.

The book came out in 1999, so it was obviously sometime before that.

It was originally supposed to be 'landslide' by fleetwood mac but got changed for the movie to 'heroes'.

I always cry with this scene.Such a great movie.It deserves an oscar.
I memorized this poem by heart. I felt every single word. I was so so depressed when I watched this and it helped me through so much, "we are infinite" reminded me that one day ill get out of this bad situation and ill find happiness and I did, I have a 1 yr old baby boy who stole my heart and a husband who loves me unconditionally. For anyone who is struggling, please, wait, things with get better 🖤
I really hope so. Thank you for this. Goodbye.
This hits on such a deeper level now that I’ve been out of HS for 10 years. My friends in those now old photographs are on the path of becoming someone’s mom or dad. There’s so much truth to these words.
this is absolutely the best scene in this fucking awesome movie
1:29 was the best quote I've ever heard in my entire life
Logan and Emma...their chemistry is perfect
I’ve never felt so many emotions hit me like a truck watching a movie
“I can see it, this one moment when you know you’re not a sad story, you are alive.” Is one of my favorite quotes of all time. It makes me sob and it just makes me feel like I can keep going.
This is the best scene I have ever seen in my life, it has absolutely everything and really makes you feel infinite.
Thank you
As a Pittsburgher, coming out of the Fort Pitt Tunnel truly is a soul reset. There’s something about it that just puts you at ease every time and it feels exactly like this scene shows
this movie makes me incredibly happy but incredibly sad. i wish this movie never ended its so good
Having never seen more than the first half hour of this movie I can truly say that this is one of the most powerful and emotional scenes I’ve ever seen. Just the simplicity paired with the voice over makes it that much more beautiful.
THIS SCENE IS E V E R Y T H I N G.
!!!
I N F I N I T E
Crying tears of admiration towards the ending scene it hurts so beautifully, I’d give anything to feel that way with people I adore I think it’s so beautiful that we all even have a chance of experiencing something like that at least once in this lifetime, a moment of pure bliss where it doesn’t matter what you do or where you go next, you just let yourself be here now and feel.
My first year at uni was very lonely. I was in a new city and had no friends. Then a couple of people asked me to hang out. Just last week, when we were sitting in a pub, having burgers and just talking, I looked at them and I wanted time to slow down. Just when you think all is lost, a ray of light shines on you.
My favorite book of all time!
I remember that I was reading this while on vacation with my family. My brother and I shared our hotel room. While he watched TV I read this book. In the final chapter, he is watching this dumb TV show and all of a sudden he hears me crying. I felt infinite!
I hate when ppl say it’s ab being an introvert cuz it’s not , it’s ab struggling with something so deep something that u feel like u have no hope and u’ll never recover and u eventually find hope and it’s the best thing ever .
I don't know if I will have the time to write any more letters because I might be too busy trying to participate .So if this does end up being the last letter, I just want you to know I was in a bad place before I started high school and you helped me. Even if you didn't know what I was talking about or know someone who's gone through it, you made me not feel alone. Because I know there are people who say all these things don't happen and there are people who forget what it's like to be 16 when they turn 17, I know these will all be stories some day and our pictures will become old photographs and we'll all become somebody's mom or dad but right now, these moments are not stories, this is happening. I am here and I am looking at her and she is so beautiful. I can see it, this one moment when you know you're not a sad story, you are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder, and you're listening to that song on that drive with the people you love the most in this world, and in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.
this was the movie that got me through high school. from the soundtrack to the quotes, thank you Stephen Chbosky♥️
I feel this as much at 30 as I did at 16, still struggling with depression and finding my place in the world, but I’m getting there. My tunnel song is Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield
This movie hit me hard especially this scene 2020 anyone
This is such a meaningful scene. Really hits home and I always cry. 💕
I drive through that tunnel everyday to go to work in Pittsburgh.
I've seen hundreds of movies and tv shows, but never did I cry watching any of them. Until this one.
I can see it, this one moment. When you know you’re not a sad story, you are alive
This film means the entire world to me. Nothing will ever beat it.
The amount that this movie has changed my life is beyond belief. As an introvert it told me to get out there and make lifelong friends. Now I have an amazing boyfriend and friends that took me out of a dark place. Every time I watch the movie I SOB because it reminds me how much I love my friends and how this movie saved me. Now I’m just waiting for my tunnel scene.(i won’t stand up tho i don’t wanna die)
That one quote...just makes me wanna keep going .
"And in this moment, I swear we are infinite"
The part when he said “we are infinite”
I had literal goosebumps
david bowie's heroes is just the icing on the cake. he was such a genius.
I was an adult when this movie came out. Married with children in my career, but this took me back to my high school days and made realize how much I was like Charlie. But also had a Sam in my life. I wished I was back in high school so that I could participate more. What a great quote and movie.
Only just watched this, what an amazing film!.. God bless all the Sams and Patricks out there who help those passing rough times. Made me cry.
Same here. I heard of this movie in passing, 5-6 years ago, but never got around to seeing it. Finally did, and I was blown away. A real gem.
“I know these will all be stories some day, and our pictures will become old photographs. We all become somebody’s mom or dad. But right now, these moments are not stories. This is happening. I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You are alive. And you stand up and see the lights on the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song, and that drive with the people who you love most in this world. And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.”
2:31 LMAOo I died there 😂😂 wasn't expecting that 😂
Twentyone Melanies at the snowball Stranger things same Emma's scream oml😂😂😂😂😂
Hannah Baker is that you? I thought you were dead!
I
Omg Hermione
this is like a dream for someone with social anxiety/ introversion having people that actually want to take interest in you while you think your boring...
I can remember it was in 2016 when my teachers showed this movie to the entire grade.
It was life changing, I still remember watching the ending to this film grinning and crying.
man I’m a huge fan of Bowie’s music, like he helped through the hardest times and I related a lot to Charlie when I watched it for the first time, then I heard Heroes and I jus my started crying. Such a great movie and scene.
The way this guy is thinking a lot while traveling with others is so relatable to me being an introvert ,omg!
This scene was to this generation as The Sandlot was for ours. “At some point in your childhood, you and your friends went outside to play together for the last time and nobody knew it”.
We just need Logan to take part in at least one of the Fantastic Beasts sequels, and then all three of the Wallflowers will also be part of the Wizarding World.
That would be awesome.
As a got older and older this film continues to make me feel alive and important, and most of all. Young.
I know I said "older" and all, but since as was a teenager I always have this "adult" behavior towards a lot aspects in my life, and sometimes I forget what is like to be infinity and had the wind blowing at my face while I'm with my friends.
This movie remind me about this stuff and make happy.
0:50 - 2:30 is my comfort scene.
When I was a junior in high school, I found the audio book on TH-cam. A day later, I got a call that sent me through a headspin. The world was so small then. Something that doesn't even make a ripple in my life now, was shaking my entire foundation at 16. On the verge of tears, I found a small wall outside my house, popped in my headphones, and layed my arms crossed over my knees as I drifted off the earth. I couldn't see or touch him, but Charlie was so real to me in that moment, he may as well have been sitting next to me. He was my friend.
I'm 24 now. Some things have changed. I'm more responsible, more aware of the world, and less emotional. Some things stayed the same. I'm still super young, still not a clue what to do with my life, and I still turn to Charlie in times when I seek the comfort of an old friend. In these times, I look back on those days when the world was small and think how today will seem small when I'm older, but it never means that he's not there. He's with all of us. We can feel him. And we are infinite.
i love love love this movie, because it's Emma's first big hit movie after harry potter and also has really good actors :)
i remembered this phrase suddenly out of nowhere and im glad its brought me back to here
I recreated this scene on a date
this is my favorite movie. i have related to charlie so much, his mental breakdown scene is something i have gone through multiple times. i will always cherish this movie.
My emotions are all over the place right now
i can´t believe how EVERY TIME i watch this movie, specifically this
scene, it makes me cry a lot. It just moves something in my heart,
something related to the meaning of life, about feeling infinite, about
not only surviving, but living every second like it is the last.
I just turned 20 today and this scene hits me right in the feels
I watched this movie during my final weeks of high school; our teacher just let us watch movies because finals were done and there was nothing else to do. I loved this movie. I had a pretty lonely upbringing and movies like this give me hope that maybe one day I’ll find a good group of friends who value me, and I won’t be so sad anymore.
JUST GONNA SAY IT.... I NEED A PATRICK AND SAM IN MY LIFE!!! THE ENERGY THE 2 JUST BRING TO THE TABLE IS IMMACULATE!
I was the typical oxymoronic student in high school... the smart jock. But, I've never related more to a group of friends than this. True friends that were real people and genuinely cared about each other. What a beautiful, timeless film this is.
God they are just best friend goals 😞😍
What makes this so brilliant is the very realistic sentiment that this moment doesn't last, and that's okay.
we were all 17, living with the ones we loved once. That moment ends, naturally.
what I love is that this movie doesn't act like it lasts forever. You know it doesn't. but it's this beautiful, bittersweet nod to how our characters changed before we were adults. How we came to be who we are through our experiences in younger life.
ugh. i love this movie
amazing scene from an amazingly underrated film
I didn't realize it was the 80s era I thought the movie itself was current
Both the book and movie of The Perks of Being a Wallflower take place in 1993.
I love that in the film they made it seem possible that Charlie & Sam would have a long distance relationship... The book was GREAT, but it really left me wondering if they even had a chance. I feel like they could have wound up together, especially since Stephen Chbosky directed the film himself. Kind of seems like that was his vision after all these years? What do you guys think??
I remember my friend Sol showing me this movie for the first time back in like 2014, I wish I could erase it from my memory and rewatch it all over again to get that feeling I had when I first watched it.
This scene gives me hope for the future
I don’t know if I will have the time to write anymore letters
because I might be too busy trying to participate.
So if this does end up being the last letter,
I just want you to know that I was in a bad place before I started high school
and you helped me.
Even if you didn’t know what I was talking about
or know someone who’s gone through it.
You made me not feel alone.
Because I know there are people who say all these things don’t happen.
And there are people who forget what it’s like to be sixteen when they turn seventeen.
And know these will all be stories someday
and our pictures will become old photographs
and we’ll all become somebody’s mom or dad.
But right now these moments are not stories.
This is happening.
I am here and I am looking at her
and she is so beautiful.
I can see it.
This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story,
you are alive.
And you stand up and see the lights on buildings
and everything that makes you wonder,
when you were listening to that song
on that drive with the people you love most in this world.
And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite.
Reminds me of Breakfast Club. May we all remember the beautiful agony of adolescence.
The song choice is perfect. Bowie is basically pure freedom.
I love this movie with characters like Hermoine, Percy, Flash and Ant-man
I watched this movie 1 year ago from a recommendation from a Tik tok video. During the time I watched it I was going through the weird post high school phase where you lose touch with your high school friends. I watched this movie and related to everything that was going on. I remember watching this scene and thinking “that is exactly the friends I want. That’s what I want to be doing right now”. About a month later I found a friend group from a church who invited me on a RV trip across the west coast. I had the time of my life on this two week trip and finally was happy with where I was in life. One night we were driving back from the Grand Canyon visitor center and they were playing music loudly with the roof off and driving through the mountains. This song came on the radio and i instantly thought of this movie and how just a few months prior I was watching it and wishing that could be me. Last month i went to Florida to visit a friend. We were driving back from Disney after a fun day and this song again came on the radio. And just yesterday I found a friend who enjoys biking and we did a 20 mile ride and then stopped for lunch. This song came on the restaurant speakers and I thought again of the movie. For some reason I only hear this song when I’m living my “tunnel moment”. I don’t know if it’s a spiritual thing or not, but I love that it keeps happening. Every time I’m enjoying myself or on a road trip I try to play this song and just close my eyes and take in the moment.
i just want friends like parick, sam and charlie
I always felt that my real self wasn't good enough. I could see all these vibrant personalities vying for the limelight and felt that it was the only way to be. Seeing this film, seeing Charlie and seeing every bit of myself in him was the biggest epiphany I've had. I can be myself and I am enough.
