Is this a 70's Perks of Being a Wallflower?


It sure looks like it. Cover is identical, same syllables in the title and an association from wallflower to wallpaper.. Is the only difference being set in the 70's with a female protagonist?

No, it is 100 times better than that movie. Not really related at all.

Well I really loved The Perks of Being a Wallflower, and found this movie to be merely okay. To each his own I guess. :)

reply

It isn't even about a wallflower, so the comparison makes no sense.

reply

I can't compare because I haven't seen the movie, that's why I am asking.

Well, I mean, if you gauge the content of a film based on the movie poster's similarity to others...I guess you could say that it is exactly that.

But the movies themselves are very different, if that matters.

No, I don't, but it's my intuition that it might be similar because that's the vibe I am getting.

Actually, covers are designed very intentionally to bring up known associations, for the very purpose of giving the viewer a "feeling" of what kind of expectation to have with the movie.

So, you are not crazy for thinking there may be a similarity between the two films. Even if there is not.

reply

Yeah.

reply

got vibes too

reply

Not similar in the slightest. I absolutely love this movie and I hated Perks
