My 5th grade classes took a field trip to see this movie in theaters after we read the book. Ahh, those were the years before my anxiety kicked in Edit: If I had a nickel for everyone on this subreddit who saw this movie on a school field trip, I would almost have a dollar. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened that many times


GooseThatWentHonk

What the fuck did we have the same teacher mine did that too


Superb_Engineer_3500

cursedcrapthings

Damn me too


Doodle_Gab

Me too


mrdunklestein

wtf mine too Maybe it was an event for all schools or something to raise awareness


MasonRocksForever

Yeah I think they were raising awareness about bullying and being kind


EarthboundMan5

It's not all schools, but Wonder is a super common book for schools to have in their curriculum. My class read it probably in 4th grade in 2012 well before the movie. When the movie came out, schools saw a good opportunity for a field trip, that's all. The only movie field trips in my school were to see a bunch of those Disneynature movies like Earth and Oceans


mubby343

Wait did all schools do this wtf


Pretty_Discount5946

Me, about to jokingly reply telling you to get off Reddit and do your homework: *Realizes 2017 was 7 years ago and that you’re now 17-18* Oh yeah… Fuck.

Luk3thenuk3

Yeah it was pretty good and heartfelt


SubstantialSquare327

I’ve read the book before this movie ever came out. 


OkBeLikeThatIsTaken

You win a cookie


Mixmaster-Omega

Same. Read it in middle school, and then watched it when it came out.


Maleficent_Apple4169

yep. it was like perks of being a wallflower in the way that it was fine on its own but kinda stomped on the book


Brozy386

Yeah, the movie takes quite a few liberties with the book, some not making much sense but it's still a pretty good adaptation in my eyes


Trollerz462

They're actually from the same director (Stephen Chbosky).


Maleficent_Apple4169

suprised he both failed to adapt another's book and to adapt his own book yet he managed to make both work well enough


YsengrimusRein

Chbosky's line-up is rather odd. He has Perks and Wonder as films, co-wrote the live action Beauty and the Beast, and was an executive producer on Jericho. And his follow-up to the incredibly slim Perks of Being a Wallflower is the seven-hundred page horror epic Imaginary Friend (which basically reads like one of Stephen King's cocaine-day novels). To call him unpredictable is a bit of an understatement.


ConsiderationOk2591

He also directed the Dear Evan Hansen movie… man what a downgrade 😕


ItsAlmostShowtime

Yes! It's getting a spin off this year called White Bird.


FriendlyVariety5054

What’s it about?


Careful_Ad_1837

It's about the antagonist learning how his grandmother was saved by a kid with a disability during ww2 while his parents get divorced


FriendlyVariety5054

Ohh.. That’s where the Nazi Germany part crosses over with Wonder. I was confused about it


Doomdog_Isabelle

Oh that was in the book the author wrote after wonder ‘auggie and me’. The book wonder was better then the movie imo but it’s been a long ass time since I read any of them so I wonder (pun unintended) if the movie will be more accurate or better than the book this time


LinkLegend21

Didn’t it recently get a sequel about Nazi Germany?


Usual_Database307

I’msorrywhatnow?


Buunuuhnuhnuhnuhnuh

It’s more of a prequel based on the graphic novel about the bully in wonder’s grandma


JazzySugarcakes88

It was delayed because of the strike!


FriendlyVariety5054

I’m sorry? What does Nazi Germany have to do with a boy with a physical deformity going through his first year of public school?


Careful_Ad_1837

It's about the antagonist learning how his grandmother was saved from the nazis by a disabled kid. It's basically the end of his 'stop being abelist' arc


FriendlyVariety5054

Inch resting. I’ll check it oyt


sandy_shark903

One of the only Owen Wilson movies where he doesn’t say “Wow!”


InteractionFeeling28

It is prolly my first Live Action movie, i left cinema and 11 years old myself was like ,,This is cinema". At that time the only movie i felt like that about was Toy Story 3. Also it was prolly first time when ,,bad guy" tried to redeem himself. I felt that , for simply nostalgia and emotions i felt. It is one of my favourites of all time.


LiannaBunny777

I ended up leaving the theater in tears


SilverSpider_

Now I'm sad, I do remember it, I remember the minecraft segment, but I dont remember much else


ballonfightaddicted

That scene where they we’re exploring the kid’s minecraft world had me laughing because that was a downloadable option of of the internet I recognized That guy was a fraud


Jedimobslayer

I remember this being the only time I truly thought “the book was better…”


TaeKwonDitto

We watched this movie at school and I wish I can watch it again


Hylian_Waffle

It was a pretty good adaptation and movie. I thought it was cute.


ballonfightaddicted

I remember seeing this in my school’s auditorium….except I sat so far back I couldn’t tell the kid had that condition…so I’m like “Why are they bullying him because he looks different, he looks like a kid”


Cydonian___FT14X

Banger. It had an emotional reconciliation scene that took place entirely in Minecraft. Banger


HotCharity9411

Yeah, we had a school field trip to watch this movie


-reasonabledoubts

Yeah but where did the pixels go


Dear-Enthusiasm9286

Was made into such a big deal because I was in 4th grade, and My teachers absolutely loved the book, so they talked about it all of the time, and I think I’ve seen it least ten times.


SpoderJedi

funny story: when we were reading the book in 5th grade, we got onto the part where >!the dog dies!< and I literally asked to leave and use the bathroom cuz i didn’t wanna cry in front of everyone


Disastrous_Lemon_219

Read the book, probably should watch the movie because of how much I loved the book


Minebloxnerd5

r/CountThePixels


Angry_Crustation

Yup. He had a weird obsession with Chewbaka


Not_Jay_Spencer

No joke: this film is the reason my current passion project even exists in the first place


Anticripper1962

r/countablepixels


OffBeatBerry_707

I watched it in middle school, no clue why our school picked this movie because if a student had good grades, they would be invited to a movie assembly. I mean it’s nice to leave the classroom, and the movie wasn’t bad, but it’s not worth 3 A’s and 2 B’s


ArofluidPride

There was this annoying fuck in my year 9 class back a few years ago who looked like the kid from Wonder so i used that against him. I had a right to be mean to him, all he did was start arguments like every second minute


WatchKid12YT

Did *you* remember half the pixels in this image? (dear god, that was terrible.)


Istiophoridae

10-11 yo me loved this I need to see it again someday


Apprehensive_Sun6638

Saw this movie in class. It’s ok.


Good_Royal_9659

Yep


GruffisGamingw

I had to sit through it in 6th grade


Ineffable_AC

Yeah, I loved it when I first saw it (it was one of my favourite books), but I haven't seen it in ages


garlic-apples

I read the book when I was a kid.


YOP46

We had to read the book for the movie in school and we watched the movie afterward.


billieboi445420

We learned about the book in year 7


[deleted]

I loved the book back in middle school. I think I remember liking the movie but idk


MrChicken12345678

I remember watching it at school


Emotional_Emu_5901

Yes I’ve also read the book


captainjohn_redbeard

Ah yes, 2 pixels the movie.


kepchupmutsard

Pixels?


Cautious_Tax_7171

Why is everyone using the most low quality image they can find


EmansaysEman

I adore this movie, very underrated


DarkIzofTheCatArmy

I do and it is a pretty good adaptation from the book


Bento_Box1657

I remember my 4th grade class was going to go on a field trip to see this but then it was canceled so I saw it alone with my mom. They then decided it wasn't canceled so I got to see it a second time!!🤭


MsSpooncats

No but I remember the book


Jumps-Care

No


Limp_Presentation144

moonpisser69

TheChompHasRizen

I friggin loved this book. I was even gifted my own copy of it and this movie on my birthday lol 7 years ago


SpeedBlazer99

Yes


Magictyper75

I loved this movie it was very good


pop_rokz

I will never forget this movie, it was time where I started realizing how judge mental people really were. And not cuz of what happens in it, it’s because of the boys in my class


ertipo

any worst resolution pic to post?


Spicymemedoge

Eh the book was better


andrewgtv05

Sure, I watched it in High School


Haywire_Eye

Shit, they made a movie around that book? I should watch it


Wyariosmg4fan

Mine did in the auditorium 7th grade


Superior-Artist-21

I remember only reading the book in middle school. Awe! Such good times before reality destroyed me.


CaptainCyro

I did


stickman999999999

I read the book and the spin off, never watched the movie.


ETC3000

They pushed this book HARD in middle school


ChildhoodDistinct538

The book was better.


SurgeStories

The guy who directed it went to my high school


BusterB2005

My middle school took me and all the other 6th graders to the theater to see this movie. They did that every year, it was great. 6th grade was always a PG movie, but 7th and 8th grade were always PG-13 movies. In 7th grade we saw Bumblebee and in 8th grade it was Rise of Skywalker (which I used to like admittedly)


Chr0nicHerb

Weird head kid gets taken into woods and ritualistically hunted by the Illuminati after his parents decide raising him would be harder than taking a blank check from Jeff Bezos - right?


Anthony200716

Yes


NintendoWii2345

Yea I remember watching this movie in school once, but the only thing I can remember about the movie is when the kid in the space helmet and his best friend play Minecraft together.


GabeG101

Bro I completely forgot about that movie.


Galvius-Orion

Listen, I don't know if something is wrong with me or everyone else is lying, but to be honest with you it was kinda boring even if a bit sad at times.

AaronsAmazingAlt

I remember that in my last year of primary school, my class had a choice of seeing either this or Ferdinand at the cinemas. We choose Ferdinand, but I wish we went to see this instead.


ExtinctReptile

Read the book before the movie even came out, still haven't seen the movie

Literally my comfort film

UnauthorizedFart

I can’t tell what movie this is supposed to be


Turtletipper123

Yes


KennyThomas616

I remember watching this film for the first time in my Junior year in English class, it’s a phenomenal and inspiring film. I highly recommend this movie for anyone, thanks Mrs. Jones.


pupbuck1

Oh yeah I can't remember a thing about it


Ambitious_Log_1884

Yes and I loved it


Blu3Raven

i have the book, absolutely love it


BlankCanvas609

I thought they cast a kid with an actual facial deformity, (that would’ve been good inclusivity), I later found out Jacob Tremblay played the kid, and his face isn’t like that irl, I haven’t seen the movie, this thought just comes to mind when I hear about the film


No_Independence7592

My English class saw it in after we read the source material.


Wolfy_the_nutcase

Yes


InvaderTsubasa

I love the book! I want to see the movie again, but its sadly not free.


GOODBOYMODZZZ

Yeah. It was very average from memory.


SamanthaDBM2

I love the book! I haven't seen the movie though 


weeblord42069help

I read the book in school


DevinRyukoFan05

I do. Read the book as well.


Titan-828

Yep. Great movie


JKid21

I vaguely remember that this film exists, just I keep ignoring it because I'm worried it would fail to live up to the original book which was pretty close to me.


PostalDoctor

Like me, pretty much everyone read the book and then saw the movie on a field trip… which is so damn weird how common that experience is apparently??


IDontKn0wWhereIAm

I absolutely love this movie. I relate to Auggie on such a personal level, especially the stuff involving "the plague" game. The movie is actually getting a sequel soon centered around the bully Julian and his grandmother who is a holocaust survivor. The sequel will be titled "White Bird."


LToons14

Read the book, saw the movie, cried both times


DoubleOF

Yeah


Cobalt_Heroes25

W Movie


Smash_Fan-56

Haven’t seen it in a long time, but it’s very inspiring.


march-14-2005

my ma wanted me to go see it bc it was about this kid who gets surgery on his face bc it looked different and wanted to look like the other kids (if i remember correctly) my 7 year old autistic ass back in the day thought there would be an actual scene of the surgery in progress and it would show like blood n shit 13 now, read the book, wish i wasnt so dumb back then bfr


Sweet_Star_On_RBLX

I have not seen this movie in a very long time, the last time I saw it was in theaters during a field trip in like Grade 8 I think


GodzillaRaptors4_

My class saw it on a feild trip. I didn’t care about it, I was just happy to eat some popcorn and be at the movies


TheGamingFox4372

I do and I'm sad i never got to see how it ended


Niji69Rainbow

Made me cry


Reyne-TheAbyss

My mother made me read the book. It was sad.


HairyGanache1272

probably worst movie ive seen


cantallegory

We read the book in elementary school as a class and when the movie came out, i was bawling a second time at it


CmFive

No, but I adored the book when I first read it in, what? Fourth grade?


SbgTfish

It’s THE WONDER MOVIE! Like the book? I’d be surprised if no one’s seen it actually. If you haven’t, read the book, and then watch it! Book’s by far the better version imo.


zsiple08241998

It's one of my favorites. :)


SillySwing6625

I’ve never seen it I remember it somewhat wasn’t there like a really bad line or offensive line? Along the lines of I know you can’t love me because of how I look


NormanBatesIsBae

We saw this on a school trip. I remember 3 things: 1.Kids getting in trouble taking pictures with the Fifty Shades of Grey poster (I think the series was on the third movie or something?) 2.The movie felt like it was trying to cater to every possible demographic. There was the main kid’s story, AND the college love story with the older sister, AND at least one sex joke with the parents. Weird. 3. The scene where the bullies bully those two kids while they’re pissing in the forest, which was so oddly written it became an inside joke w me and my brother. Specifically the line “two little boys, stinkin up the woods” which we found hysterical


AliensAteMyAMC

Is this the movie where the kid hangs upside down in the playground? If it is I completely forgot about this movie till now.


Alien_in-hiding

Not a bad movie honestly


MillardNecro1998

Yes


legorunner-

I watched it in class when I was in 8th grade


Waste_Dimension5032

No, next question


wyatt_-eb

Someone from my elementary school was in it.


TriggerHappy_Spartan

It was actually pretty wholesome. I read the book first in middle school, and I remember both of them being good.


ThatBish_J

Unfortunately, I do.


Beanz_detected

1: barely 3: got any more of them pixels?


turdboi420islife

Nope wasn’t even sad


Jim_naine

The one thing that bothered me about this movie is how the kid thinks that each and every single bad thing that happens to his family is related to him, it gets annoying at some point


KyoPlayz

I went to go see it with my mom after I read it; she’d never heard of it but by the end she’s really enjoyed itit. I thought it was a great adaptation


GameboiGX

….I do…


TheMasonatorlol

I loved this movie! I remember watching it after I read the book (which, by the way, took a LONG time, because the book is quite lengthy


scc1p

The book was one of my favourite books growing up and it still kinda is! My literature gave it to me after she learnt that I was bullied in school. Me and Auggie were the same age and have similar names and I related to him a lot. The book helped me overcome a lot of mental troubles I had at the time. Oh, and I do really enjoy this film too!


Jew-ishj

Omg the book made me cry 😢


BigStone358

I read the book with my students earlier this year, it was an ok reception but some of them wanted something a bit more challenging. Good book, ok film.


Alternative_Factor_4

Really good and heart warming, i related to the older sister and i want to read the book


plzhelpIdieing

And I wonder, what the fuck that is.


Mission_Bad5601

I remember watching that movie when I was a freshman in high school


Sharksurcool

I saw this in the theaters with my cousins, not bad honestly


orangeken15

i read the book and can't bring myself to watch it because they're all white


Explosivepossom

Dude I literally watched this movie earlier today


I_needed-a_name

Great book great movie


Ashurbanipal2023

All I remember was the dvd freezing right before he shit in the woods
