My Movie review of Wonder

Ever since I was little, my favorite movie has been the "Karate Kid". Since then, I have watched a lot more movies and I have a new set of movies I really like. In the last few months, I have watched the movie "Wonder" twice, once with my school and the other time with my family. "Wonder" is about August (Auggie) Pullman, a small, funny boy who has a facial difference. He has been homeschooled his whole life and has just entered fifth grade in middle school.

While adjusting going from homeschooled to school, he encounters all kinds of people and bullying from some of them who are all different ages. After all he has gone through, he is still strong and hasn't given up hope, he is creative and a very brilliant minded boy. While Auggie faces school, the movie goes to show the perspective of the people that "revolve" around Auggie. For an example, his sister Via, in the movie it shows how Via is feeling about her family and Auggie. It also shows her relationship with Miranda, (her best friend), and what happened to them. There are some other perspectives that are shown in the movie too: Miranda, Jack will, Summer and a few others.

When I was watching the movie, I learned to not give up hope in tough times and to treat other people nicely. To respect them, even though they might or might not be different.

I really liked the movie because it shows the audience how the people who can relate to Auggie's situation, feel when they get bullied, and how the people around Auggie and Auggie himself gets affected by it. Also another reason I liked this movie was that how Auggie managed to focus on the positive things from a negative situation. Like when Auggie was walking to the school and the whole school parted for him to walk through and they stared at him, he was ignored that and started thinking about how he would stare at Chewbacca if he came to school and he went up to him, (in his imagination), and apologized if his staring made him uncomfortable. Then they high-fived and went inside the school. I think the moral of this story is: Don't judge a book by its cover!
