4:40 anyone else notice the weird relationship Neil and his mom have? The way they’re interacting hints that they may slightly be more than mom and son…. Perhaps because the mom (just like Neil) lacks a strong manly figure in her life, so as she sees her son growing into a handsome young man she may have feelings for him a little bit. But I feel like it’s mainly her, and he mistakes these feelings for love (just like the coach who abused him). So strange.
@TushieKakielol science absolutely does _not_ say that. The effect you're thinking of, the Westermarck effect, is very common and very powerful but by no means universal. The fact that our courtrooms and history books document countless stories of incestuous sexual abuse should really clue you into the fact that sexual attraction between close relatives is by no means impossible.
I think this movie is not afraid of being dark and it intentional either way .. he’s not into into youths he’s shown his interests thou out the film and that’s not his path …and I think it is his respect for he knows it isn’t right what happened to him but all the interactions are intentionally weird..him and his friends /mom his boundaries are low . There to make you think about ..all outcomes , I forgot how good this movie is I just was scarred from it
I watched this alone in my bedroom, when the credits were rolling I was speechless and quiet. Unable to speak. Then I sobbed really hard. Because it took me back to my childhood because I was a victim of sexual abuse too. As much as it depressed me, I love this damn film because I was able to feel again. For years I was so damn numb like Neil was and this movie opened me up and I was able to feel again. The music is so beautiful. <3 I love the way he says, "White Camero" 3:59

The creepy part of Neil's interaction giving that kid candy is that he could see Neil becoming his abusers.
Or possibly giving the kid the kind fatherly attention he deserved but lacked.
i was looking for a comment like this, that scene makes me so uneasy

This has got to be the BEST movie I’ve seen ever of its kind
I so agree.
One of the best movies ever made. After it was done I just sat back in silence, it's really insane how amazing it is.
i can't stop thinking about the alternate universe out there where emile hirsch played neil instead of joseph...
Why? Was he considered for the role? lol
@@denniswilsonishere no he auditioned lmao, i love emile n all but i just can't imagine neil being played by literally anyone else
