Extraordinário
Here a review of the work “Extraordinário” will be described, starting then, talking about its respective author and its director, Raquel Jaramillo Palacio and Stephen Chbosky. Raquel, in turn, is an American writer and graphic designer, known for her bestseller, Wonder. Stephen, on the other hand, is a writer, screenwriter and film director, known for the book “The perks of being a Wallflower”. Raquel's brilliant idea brought the world a different view and perspective on bullying, prejudice and empathy. She then had this idea in an ice cream parlor, when she found a child with the same characteristics as Auggie, the protagonist. After the book's publication, Stephen saw an opportunity to bring this work to the silver screen.
In summary, this work tells the story of Auggie Pullman, a 10-year-old boy who has a genetic deformity on his face, who underwent more than 30 reconstructive surgeries for the sake of his health and quality of life. This condition ended up making it difficult for him to enter a school, so his mother was his private teacher, as he was afraid of what they would think and say about his son's appearance. However, she and her husband found themselves obliged to send him to school, not least because his illness had stabilized and she was not able to teach him the subjects he would need. In this complicated transition, the two showed full support for their son, and left him free if he wanted to give up, however, Auggie accepted the challenge and faced him. He went through difficulties and was the victim of bullying, and in the same way he remained firm.
In this work, we can see from different perspectives, it shows the side of some characters, their characteristics and their positions. The film, mainly, shows how and why some people's actions are in relation to the boy, the reason they act with fear, strangeness and even dread. So much so that, throughout the story, the children change and learn, understanding that he is also a human being, with feelings.
When I saw this film for the first time I fell in love with it, besides having a very important message, it is emotional and has a great impact. In it, we see that family support is necessary and makes all the difference.
I believe that everyone should read and watch this work, whoever feels touched by it will certainly see the world in a different and more inclusive way. In a world where prejudice and discrimination do not win.
