Wonder

Today we have seen a wonderful, sensible film based on the novel by R J Palacio.

For those who didn´t come, here´s the plot. If you are still thinking of going, I strongly recommend you to do it. In fact all kids (and adults) should see this film. It´s an amazing lesson for us all as well as  an inspiring story. And the most important, don´t be afraid of crying!

THE PLOT

Ten-year-old August Pullman wants to be ordinary. He does ordinary things. He eats ice-cream. He plays on his Xbox. He feels ordinary - inside.

But Auggie is far from ordinary. Born with a terrible facial abnormality, he has been home-schooled by his parents his entire life, in an attempt to protect him from the cruelty of the outside world. Now, Auggie's parents are sending him to a real school. Can he convince his new classmates that he's just like them, underneath it all?

Narrated by Auggie and the people around him whose lives he touches, Wonder is a frank, funny, astonishingly moving debut to be read in one sitting, pass on to others, and remember long after the final page. 

THE TRAILER

Wonder Quotes

--“...your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of stone.” 

-- “I think there should be a rule that everyone in the world should get a standing ovation at       least once in their lives.”
