Wonder movie analysis
Wonder is an interesting drama filled film directed in 2017 by Stephen Chbosky. The film is the adaptation of a book Wonder published in 2012. The film features August Pullman “Aggie” a 10-year-old living with his parents in Upper Manhattan, New York. With close family members including father Nate, mother Isabel, Sister Olivia, and family dog Daisy, Aggie had a great warm childhood. Born with a medical facial deformity called ‘Mandibulofacial’, aggie believes he is not ordinary and describes his birth as hilarious. His condition has made him undergo 27 surgeries to help him look normal, see and breathe well. In fifth grade, Aggie enrolled in Beecher Prep, a private school led by Mr. Tushman. While preparing to start his schooling in Beecher, his parents were worried that other kids in school will react to Aggie’s deformities and alienate him. Upon reaching school, they were received by principal and aggie was taken by three kids Jack, Julian and Charlotte instructed to give him a tour of the school. Aggie was initially ostracized by many students in school, but soon they form a strong relationship with Jack and Charlotte.
Wonder film provides succinct themes focusing on family socialization and how they deal with problems and issues. Like aggie’s family facing the challenge of dealing with his facial deformity, they face daunting problems including crumbling with medical conditions and aggie’s rejection in school. Wonder provides broad perspectives concerning human and family connection, and the idea that everyone in the society is extraordinary. The film speaks to those with body disfigurement and people including friends and family directly affected by craniofacial conditions. Besides, the film touches on different emotional, economic, psychological and medical realities of those living with facial deformities. Importantly, the film highlights the experiences of children having deformities like Aggie who are hugely misunderstood.
