Deleted scene from The Perks of Being a Wallflower

[@ValenchuuDirectioner]

not to be dramatic but this movie changed me as a person

[@fntt9868]

[@thg_2728]

Same, in a way I feel like I grew with the book

Same.

Same

[@sixsevenandate]

I had the same experience work the book

[@katie1647]

This would have been the most significant scene within the movie in my opinion.. Perhaps this scene was cut out due it's seriousness and the fact that it can be seen as disturbing. Though, the whole movie is focused around abuse so I'm questioning why this scene was cut out. Would have made the movie 10x better. This scene is amazing.

[@logankatsaros2288]

Yeah I was reading it in the book and I literally had to put the book down because of how moving those few pages were. They probably had to cut the scene out because of its length or because of the topic but if that scene was in the movie I'd probably pause it the same way I had to put the book down.

[@notomatoesx]

Yeah the kitchen scene with the knife would of made more sense

[@soph996]

I know four years later is a bit too late but none the less
I might be a bit fuzzy in the details but basically in a deleted scene Charlie's best friend (the one who commited suicide) appears to him as some sort of hallucination/ghost/who knows. And Chbosky says in the audio commentary that, while the scene would have contributed to the movie they decided to just focus on one of the 'ghosts' of Charlie's past and they decided on Aunt Helen
My guess then is, that the poem is important to Charlie in the way it related back to Michael
I'm sure if they had given Michael more attention in the movie, except for the three four lines the scenes would have been kept in

[@SuperAfrodisiaco]

The author of the book and director of the movie answers your question here : ua-cam.com/video/o2dzWe9rU5U/v-deo.html

[@EmmaGranger99]

I was in the hospital for a while for attempted suicide and when I was there all the doctors wrote on pieces of yellow paper with green lines. It made me think of the poem the whole time. When I left, a nurse asked me if I needed anything. I said "a piece of your yellow paper" She gave me a strange, steady look, before presenting me with one of my very own yellow pieces of paper with green lines. I took it home and I wrote out the poem, the first stanza on that yellow sheet, the second on a white sheet with blue lines, the third on a crumpled piece I tore from my notebook and the fourth, of course, on a paper bag. I keep it with me and whenever I have bad thoughts I read it and it reminds me not to end up like The Boy in the poem. It keeps me grounded, safe and alive.

Once on a yellow piece of paper with green lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Chops"
because that was the name of his dog
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and a gold star
And his mother hung it on the kitchen door
and read it to his aunts
That was the year Father Tracy
took all the kids to the zoo
And he let them sing on the bus
And his little sister was born
with tiny toenails and no hair
And his mother and father kissed a lot
And the girl around the corner sent him a
Valentine signed with a row of X's
and he had to ask his father what the X's meant
And his father always tucked him in bed at night
And was always there to do it
Once on a piece of white paper with blue lines
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Autumn"
because that was the name of the season
And that's what it was all about
And his teacher gave him an A
and asked him to write more clearly
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because of its new paint
And the kids told him
that Father Tracy smoked cigars
And left butts on the pews
And sometimes they would burn holes
That was the year his sister got glasses
with thick lenses and black frames
And the girl around the corner laughed
when he asked her to go see Santa Claus
And the kids told him why
his mother and father kissed a lot
And his father never tucked him in bed at night
And his father got mad
when he cried for him to do it.
Once on a paper torn from his notebook
he wrote a poem
And he called it "Innocence: A Question"
because that was the question about his girl
And that's what it was all about
And his professor gave him an A
and a strange steady look
And his mother never hung it on the kitchen door
because he never showed her
That was the year that Father Tracy died
And he forgot how the end
of the Apostle's Creed went
And he caught his sister
making out on the back porch
And his mother and father never kissed
or even talked
And the girl around the corner
wore too much makeup
That made him cough when he kissed her
but he kissed her anyway
because that was the thing to do
And at three a.m. he tucked himself into bed
his father snoring soundly
That's why on the back of a brown paper bag
he tried another poem
And he called it "Absolutely Nothing"
Because that's what it was really all about
And he gave himself an A
and a slash on each damned wrist
And he hung it on the bathroom door
because this time he didn't think
he could reach the kitchen.

Yeah I thought the book would take longer but I read it in one night. Love the book and the movie! :)

[@StaleDoritoCrumb]

I will tell you one thing: Even though I actually got depression after reading it, I think it was so worth it, I always think of it, I can never forget it. But nobody at my school knows about it so nobody cares about it, besides that wouldn't be age appropriate but still, everyone knows what the mature stuff is anyways.

[@PanteaMaths]

so his sister took a paper towel and tried a poem herself,
she called it alone,
because that's how she felt now,
and that's what it was all about.
And she never gave herself an A or got anyone else to read it,
and so her poem was never hung up on the kitchen door.
And she waited for her brother to come back to save her,
but her brother never came back,
and so she hung her poem with herself,
near the bathroom door.
sorry i like to continue things :)

[@bellesmith7949]

love it! my new favourite ending to this perfect poem

[@kaseynp]

^ hi here's me also being unbelievably late but i stumbled upon this video and found your comment and i really love it a lot, you're an incredible writer

[@almostHaley]

Eventually, years passed and nothing magnificent unveiled from these events.
No park benches in their names or headlines graced the pages of any papers.
The girl around the corner married some boy across the hall,
And a man, now almost 30, said Father Tracy used to be more than quite fond of him,
And everyone gets A's so that not one single child feels left behind.
But somewhere on the anniversaries of his children's death, their father finally decides to read each one of their poems.
He doesn't weep;
He doesn't even speak them aloud;
He just tucks himself into bed and kisses his wife goodnight.
He reaches for a pen and the bible on his bedside table and starts to write a poem:
He calls it "Me" because that's who it should've been,
but he scratches that out and calls it "Them" because that's what it's always been about...
That's who it should've always been about.
(just inspired by you :) wanted to know what happened to everyone else)

The poem was actually written by a real 15 year old teenager who did commit suicide two years after writing it in 1968 , it's called 'To Santa and little sisters' The poem was published by Time Magazine in an article analyzing Teenage suicide in 1972.

[@abbiecrawford9324]

It was written by Dr Earl Reum.

[@RENThead4evs]

This was never supposed to be in the movie in the first place. Chbosky asked Logan Lerman to read it for the cameras just to have the scene there.
Also - this adaptation was perfect, in my opinion. The author wrote and directed the movie, so he knew what he wanted to be in it. Just because some plot lines had to be lost doesn't mean it was terrible. I absolutely loved it.

[@h193013]

[@sarahwalter7198]

While reading the book i guessed that Michael wrote the poem

[@dyliboi1]

i think charlie would know if michael wrote it because bob said that it was some kids suicide note, and charlie said michael never wrote a note

[@thebalancerseye5765]

@@dyliboi1 I believe the poem was definitely about Michael. Charlie mentioned that his best friend's dad drank a lot, that's why the last poem was written on the back of a brown paper bag. Also, Michael never wrote a note. That's why the last poem was titled "Absolutely Nothing".

[@sskyy3985]

This scene was so awkward, it was hard to watch. But watch on I did, to hear the poem of a young boy that grew up too fast and met his end.

[@haleyp123]

True, but keep in mind that Charlie is awkward and introverted, so he makes a lot of things awkward

[@lifeofgi_]

Logan Lerman is an amazing actor, and really brought the character Charlie to life. I can watch this movie over and over again...especially this scene because of the emotion involved. They definitely should have kept it

[@tavrine9729]

Charlie reminds me of Clay from 13 Reasons Why.
And Clay reminds me of Charlie too. Similar social awkwardness, mental states, loneliness, losing the ones they loved in very similar ways etc. They even look similar. Idk maybe I'm overthinking this but what I know for sure is that I'm terribly sorry for both of them and I wanna hug them tightly forever. They deserve to be loved.

I was just thinking the exact same thing, similarities even in their voices

[@hopium7]

+Josh Landers I think I accidentally reported your comment, sorry.

[@lnorman2638]

+Bryan Ayala I think they wanted it to be pg13, hence cutting out the chain smoking and sex scenes and they had to cut this out because it might have moved the rating higher meaning less people could see it

[@samer.mghabghab]

I thinj it's because it somewhat encourages self harm and suicide which can be perceived in a wrong way in movies.

[@samer.mghabghab]

I once tried what I likr to call progressive poetry for one of my wattpad books and it went like this:
When she was seven
She pointed at the night sky
Asking mommy
What the shinning dots were.
Mommy smiled and said
That they were bright stars
Just like her little sweetheart.
She went home that same night
And watched through her window
All the little shinning dots above
With awe in her little eyes.
When she was ten
She pointed at the night sky
Asking mommy
Why the stars disappeared
Every morning.
Mommy smiled and said
That the stars are always there
Just like she was for her sweetheart.
She went home that same night
And watched through her window
If the stars would always be there
Or if they'd disappear again.
When she was sixteen
She looked up at the night sky
Wishing mommy
Was back from the hospital.
Mommy had lung cancer
But said she was feeling great
Just like she wanted her
Sweetheart to feel
She went home that same night
And watched through her window
The stars blurred by her tears
And wished for a healing.
When she was nineteen
She looked up at the night sky
Missing mommy
Who had left the hospital.
Mommy never came back home
And had lost a fight
Just like her sweetheart
had lost her.
When she went home that night
She slammed her window shut
For her heart had shattered into
A billion Stars that
she could not wish upon.

[@zeninspiredlegacy]

That's why they should have an uncut edition because it almost felt like this movie was tip toeing on the surface.

[@pebblesofwisdom]

Cutting this out was the main point through which the film fell down in my opinion, I think this perfectly sums up the themes and the atmosphere of the story and without it there is always just something lacking when you compare the book with the film. Admittedly still a pretty good film but seems a waste to me.

[@wwejackcena]

agreed

[@kaybee47]

I agree. They had to cut out several important scenes because leaving them all in made the movie rated R

[@humanperson8299]

[@phoenixthekilljoysinner3460]

if you have read the the book everthing thats happens is in a lot more detail. some was never in the movies but the some parts like this poem and candace story line where filmed but got tooken out of the final cut becuse if they would have left it all it would have to be rated R becuse of adult themes and such while i think they should have kept this in the movie i think the movie is still on of the best adtions i have ever seen and i like that its rated pg 13 becuse the people that need to see it can. i know from personal exprince this book and movie witch i read\watch when i was 13/14 realyy helped me when i read /watch it and if it would have been rated r im not sure if i would have been alound to see/read it

I think this scene was cut because he already revealed Michael committed suicide in the movie, and if they added this scene in and took the other one out, it would not give Sam and Patrick a reason to toast to him making him feel like people noticed him and so on, changing the fate of where the story was going, having to get it back on track eventually.

Once on the notepad of a computer she wrote a poem.
She called it beauty, because she was alone and it was dark.
and that was the question of the hour
And the hour ticked by and the paper remained blank
that year she went to the library at lunch
because all the tables were full and the library was quite.
The kids placed an x on her back and her eyes drooped
like her posture.
Once she tried again this time she called it beauty: A statement
because she was told there was no middle ground.
That year the library closed, and the tables were full
So she stopped eating ans stood in the corner.
And she placed an X on her own back
then pulled her selves down.
And that's why she tried one last time on her skin
She called it absolutely nothing because that's what beauty really was
and she dug her pencil in harder with each letter
That was the year she put a gun to her head
and didn't bother placing the X on her back
because she believed her coffee would be just as quite as the library.

+smileyme3460 And now I just sit in silence... sorry, I had to.

[@applechip6748]

I know it's late, but holy shit

[@mauraaldera9695]

why the fuck did they cut this scene? it's beauty!!!

[@2012daylight]

it was to sad... like no joke they where affreid it will influence people.

[@mauraaldera9695]

but it's still beauty T-T

[@DeanyreOfHufflepuff]

Maura Aldera I feel like it had more to do with the fact that it would've a really slow part of the movie. Some people don't have the proper attention spans, I suppose.

[@htetsiehta3335]

In the version of the movie i watched, the poem was in it. Did they just cut part of it?

[@mjmjmjmjmjmj]

Literally so many great scenes were deleted form the movie including this one and I wish they had all been left in

[@erinenright598]

This is my all time favorite movie and all time favorite book. It is truly the best. :)

All I'll ever need is a pen and a paper. I'll either breathe through the pages or bleed through them...

[@macyn1132]

my aunt wrote this on her wall, which eventually became my room. i always read it, and it made me cry. but i never knew where it was from. i finally found it and it's even better than i remembered.

[@stevenjimenezlopez8]

I wachted the movie, then read the book and then started looking for this scene, thanks for sharing the video.

[@frasercressall1280]

The poem was written by Dr. Earl Reum for anyone that was wondering.

[@garymax5168]

Fraser Cressall it wasn't

[@meowmeow8062]

@@garymax5168 yes it was

[@TheVampfreak21]

This is so beautiful and twisted. I love it so much. I can't help but cry at the pain & emotions behind it

[@maxlevy9857]

Yeah, we’re gonna need a lot of tissues for this scene

[@fvnt0miix953]

Man this is so good! I really don't like poems and can't seem to understand nor appreciate them, but this poem is life, I can totally relate to it and I fully understand it. I guess I have a particular talent at understanding depressive or psychopathic stuff lol

[@taliehrabik8570]

Why the hell was this scene deleted? I love it!

[@wblazkowicz]

maybe they deleted some sad scenes so the movie will be more positive and easygoing

[@PyrozPlayground]

LucyintheSky withDiamonds You know? Like life is. Oh wait..

[@lizz1419]

This is my all time favorite poem. And I love how it's not actually about someone killing them self

[@Michele8340]

Couldnt believe they left this out! Makes it so much more interesting and to the point!

[@christelle-6875]

This movie can tear my heart and stitch it back together in one scene. The screenplay / the script of this movie is absolutely breathtaking.

[@sideoffry8370]

I remember reading this in the book thinking "Why wasn't this in the movie?!"

[@toomanyfandoms9417]

this always gives me chills and makes me cry ugh

[@kyj8082]

everything about this is perfect. I think about this poem all the time

[@Knowledgesquad1]

I really wish that they had included this scene, when I read the book when I was 14 years old the poem really spoke to me and has stuck with me, I literally still have it saved to the notes section of my phone 6 years later.

[@A11ucard]

Same here

[@SaveFerrisBueller13]

I'm using this poem for my poetry slam in my AP Literature class. It'll be hard not to cry...

[@ellasopinionx8497]

Beautiful x

[@PawlaZayas]

You will never know how much i'm crying.

[@MostHighDwelling]

sooo beautiful

[@MsFiliPinay]

Fucking cried. AGAIN. Each time I read the poem, it always fucking gets me. Especially the last line.

[@TessForeverAfter]

This poem is brilliant. Its beautiful and emotional and haunting and tells a story that is relatable. Its an amazing piece of writing.

[@Lucaya4Life]

The movie was great but this poem would've made it even better because to me it's the most memorable thing from the book. I also wish they included some of the little things like when the family watched the series finale of M*A*S*H. It's not important but I just liked reading that part.

[@mrubbykat]

I just love this poem

[@camig4079]

This will always be my favourite poem. I didn't know it was from this movie when I first heard it, I remember seeing it on tumblr or something... and then I read this book and it made me cry when I saw the poem. This movie would've been ten times better if they'd put this scene in and Logan Lerman does such a good job portraying Charlie's emotions.

[@mrskidrauhler]

im bawling my eyes out

[@Caitlingrrr69]

This is beautiful

[@ManicBoii39]

Makes me cry every time. :(

[@jacquelinejolani7158]

absolutely amazing

[@ashleyloveyhu18]

This is one of my favorite poems! Everyone says they didn't like because of how sad it is but I find it beautiful. I really wish they included this scene in the movie!
