I was already at AEON Bukit Indah on Tuesday but the whole shopping mall was in total darkness. The next day on Wednesday, the power disruption was still ongoing. Finally on Thursday 14th December, I managed to get to AEON Tebrau City to watch this movie after school.
WONDER is a story of Auggie who had a disfigured face as he had gone through numerous surgeries since birth. His mom home-schooled him but decided to send Auggie to a real middle school and then all hell broke loose. He was badly bullied by his classmates and life was miserable and that was the price he had to pay for being different.
I will not disclose more but this is the movie you should go and watch, and don't forget to bring a lot of tissue paper or your handkerchief. There are just too many scenes that will make you cry a river.
There was this very small scene when the family pet dog died. At night, when the father was alone, Auggie saw him crying. I unashamedly burst into tears - because when I was staying in the ward recently, my cat died at home. You need to have a pet to understand.
Most of the movie critics, including Rotten Tomato, awarded "Wonder" four stars. The plot is actually quite simple, you need not to think so much but just sit back and enjoy the story. Even though this is a tear-jerker film, you will still leave the cinema feeling good. You will also get to see Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson playing a more serious role.
Now I have to get the novel of the same title the movie is based on.
