Isabel Pullman: Because I am your mother, my opinion doesn't count?
Auggie: Yes.
Isabel Pullman: Because I am your mother, my opinion counts the most. Because I know you!
True! The people who know us the most, their opinion counts. And Wonder is a film that shows this is a magical way! It lays out all its characters well and never moves away from the fact that it wants us to feel good and bad at the same time, that life is just a bittersweet journey where every moment is worth living!

For some reason they both find life in each other! However, during Halloween, Auggie wears a Ghost Mask and says that these are the times when he walks around without the fear of having being judged. Jack, in a conversation with his classmates has a big laugh at how a “freak” Auggie is. Auggie overhears this conversation and feels deceived by Jack’s friendship. Life goes back to being difficult for Auggie after that brief period of happy moments and he keeps on his own.
In a forthcoming incident, Jack notices Auggie has distanced himself from him and as confused as a kid should be he asks Summer, a girl who Auggie befriended and confided in to the Halloween incident. Jack fights the bully kid, Julian Albians. Auggie and Jack re-unite as friends and stick to each other until the film’s end.
Stephen Chbosky doesn’t hide away from the fact that he has made an emotionally manipulative film and ends it on a happy note! Wonder reminds us of every kid who feels uncomfortable to be in the crowd and is probably more relatable to introverts than any other where they feel like “fish-out-of-pond” in most
