This book not only meant the world to me when I first (yes, I've read it many times) read it back in 2005/2006, but it still means the world to me today. When I went to start writing this, I actually thought I'd have a problem ever stopping. Honestly though, there is so much I have to say and so many feelings flowing through me right now that I can't even begin. I don't know if anyone else loves this book quite as much as I do...but if they do I'm sure they understand.
ANYWAYS! This whole post came to be because the trailer for the movie finally came out! I was aprehensive when I heard the movie was being made, and continued to slightly be even after I heard that Stephen Chbosky was closely watching over the production and such. Once it came out that he was all over the writing and directed it, I felt much more peace with the idea. Then tonight, literally right before I came to post this, I watched the trailer that I've been waiting for for months. I could have cried. I really feel like this movie is going to do the book great justice. My excitement right now is hard to compare to many other moments in my life. I've already told my boyfriend that if he never does another sweet thing for me for the rest of our lives, that he is to take me on a date the night of the movie release and be as sweet to me as he can possibly bear to be for the night. Reading the book was originally part of the request, but I'll take what I can get.
My only hope and prayer is that this doesn't become some big trendy thing like most of the book-turned-movies lately where suddenly everyone tries to act like they read it when they were fresh out of elementary school and have been keeping up with the creation of the masterpeice the movie seems to have become. Considering how angry I feel just thinking about it, I can't imagine how angry I'll become if it actually happens. Of course, considering Harry Potter just ended and Emma Watson is playing Sam, I'm probably screwed and should accept that there is no point in hoping and praying for it not to happen.
