Watched this last night. Can't say I cried as much as most people have said but I felt so utterly empty and hollow afterwards, like the movie had sucked out any positive emotions I'd felt earlier in the day. This movie was honestly a masterpiece and I never want to experience anything like it again.
i thought u were exaggerating or overly emotional but just watching this trailer after watching an explanation is so scary. worse than any other feeling after watching a movie let alone a trailer.
This movie opened up repressed memories of when I was 7. Being sexually abused by one of my cousin's. He can't remember. But I can't forget. His mom found him and she hid it from my mother and my whole family.... This movie hits way too close to home....
You described that perfectly, i only ever watched it once but I don't think I ever want to watch it again
I was balling to the point I couldn’t breathe. Maybe I’m just sensitive
@@lj5989 how do you find out about this repressed memories and how do you feel now about that ?
a movie that is definitely not about alien abductions
***** Pretty evident from the trailer, one would think.
No, it isn't evident from the trailer, not to me. I thought it WAS about alien abductions, and I was interested in finding out how that tied in to all the other strangeness, thinking it looked a little like a hopeless mish-mash. I'm still interested to find out what the deal was about the alien abduction angle, how it ties in.
@@Carly8Corday dummy
Lmao back before watching trailers, when you just read the back of DVDs before you rented them, it was not evident. Young me was in for an unexpected treat.
Justin Younkman treat?????
The bathroom scene near the end of the film is the most disturbing scene I've witnessed in a movie. It had me shaking all throughout. Amazing film, though - easily in my top 20.
You should watch Irreversible from Gaspar Noé, definitely the two most absurdly graphic sexually and violent scenes I've ever seen....
agreed! watched this in high school and had to pause the movie after that scene because of how much i couldn't stop crying. as for irreversible... i don't think i'll ever be able to watch that...
@@03raq The fire extinguisher scene from Irreversible is possibly the most graphically and sickeningly violent scene I've ever seen. And the rape scene just went on and on forever. Ugh.
@@TimeandMonotony agreed, probably the grossest thing I can remember watching..
@@03raq yea yea but it dont got nothing on Life is Hot in Crack down. That opening I can not sit thru and watch.
Very powerful , Great film. Very disturbing , but it shows the real life crazy shit that happens to our youth. Joseph Gordon levitt should of won a Oscar for this emotional movie .
I accidentally found this trailer. I'm a big fan of Joseph Gordon Levitt and I'll watch it right away. Your comment helped, too. :) Thanks, Olivia. I'll tell you my reaction. You can recommend me some other movies, too. I'll appreciate that.
No problem Tamara! and im I movie geek ! lol
And brady, they both did amazingly
Yeh the acting by the youngsters in this film is incredible it’s way better than half the Oscars winners that decade most underrated film of the last 20 years its quality
@@oliviahorton49 Movie geek is not a thing
I don't think my life will ever be the same after seeing this... So beautiful and fucked up at the same time
best movie ever
Life
dude, yessssss. it left a profound impact in me. have you seen Nowhere? another Araki film
I’ve seen nowhere this is way better though the acting is amazing such an underrated move dark yet real
It sums up my feeling with this movie... amazing !
As disturbing as it was, this is a hidden gem from an era when films felt more authentic, more deep.
Most films nowadays feel like _a_ utility to distract yourself from reality, rather than a tale to discover yourself and the meaning of your life.
Exactly 👌🏽👌🏽
I suggest you watch korean series or movies. Korean series and movies can discover a meaning of life
right, it made me understand why people become actors. it's not just all superficial, these things can really impact people
poetic
The actors, the soundtrack, the utter darkness of this film makes my heart hurt. In a good way. Like in a beautiful, wilting flower kind of way.
This movie was so emotionally haunting. it left me scared. it's so cold and disturbing.
Yesss! Soundtrack is out of print, too 😥
Soundtrack may be out of print, but it is cheap and easy to find.
This movie made my repressed memories resurface. It has been a wild ride ever since.
you're not alone
the same with me too consulting to my parents on to what really happened helped me a lot and it totally buried the trauma that I had been dealt
i feel for you, you're strong enough.
I watched this some years back and this really hit home for me. I suffered sexual abuse at a young age and for the longest I didn't know how to cope with the mental trauma of it all. I remember being 10 years old finding this movie and just being captured in by it. I felt a sense of relatedness, fear, confusion. But weirdly enough a sense of home. I may watch this again. I've grown up since and have come to terms with my abuse.
I wish you peace and a long, healthy, happy life. 💜
*[TW sexual assault/CSA]*
I was assaulted at 10 for a few nights in a row.
But I always have a doubt in the back of my mind that I'm not as valid as other survivors because I wasn't fully r@ped.
And I still have that doubt in the back of my mind, but I'm trying to heal from that and instead of focusing on how invalid I am, I want to focus on how all of us abuse survivors should stick together and help each other heal rather than gatekeep and alienate ourselves from one another.
At the end of the day, we were all traumatized and abused, and that should bring a sense of community and healing between the traumatized. I hope I don't feel secluded anymore in the future, and if you've ever felt like that, I hope you don't either.
You're strong, even if nobody has told you that before.
Idk if anybody else ever told you that, so I'm gonna say it.
You. Are. Just. As. Valid.
Please don't listen to that tiny voice in your head which is trying to tell you, you're not that valid. You are valid. Nothing will ever change that. Be kind to yourself.
I’m so sorry hope u feel better now
You are loved and believed
Sad to see that Joseph is the only one getting all the praise. He was amazing, no doubt, but Brady Corbet gave one of the most emotional performances of all time. If I could give them a joint Oscar, I would. Two of the most emotionally haunting performances of any film I've ever seen.
Brady played Brian to a T. Every tick, every line of dialogue, every scene he was in... He played Scott Heim's character absolutely perfectly. There is no one else in the entire acting world who could've done the character of Brian justice.
Perfect film with perfect performances. The best adaptation of all time.
The novel is slightly more perfect, but as films go, this film's pretty damn perfect, too.
+Aaron Lanier You put it perfectly.
+Not Another Vegan Blog Replying from my other account. Thank you. :) I'm still blown away at how perfect this entire film was, particularly Brady's performance.
I also can't get enough of the guy they chose for Eric. Eric is by far the kindest character in the novel, and Jeffrey Licon plays that perfectly and quite cutely.
Seriously perfect performances all-around. Just angering that only Joseph got any attention or even today still gets attention.
I agree. I just watched this movie, and I had only heard about how good Joseph's performance was, and while it was excellent, I think Brady gave the stronger performance overall.
Counterintuitively, his character was harder, as he got fewer big, dramatic scenes than Neil, so he had to convey both Brian's sweetness and his trauma equally well, whereas Neil was mostly lost and broken.
Don't get me wrong, Neil is a good character and Joseph did an incredible job, but Brian/Brady stole this movie for me.
I also really liked Eric and his supportive friendship with Brian. He never made him feel uncomfortable or asked for more than he could give, unlike Avalyn (though I do feel a bit sorry for her as well, she clearly has issues.)
@Randy White the subtlety of levitts performance is brilliant
I've got to watch this. Brady directed and wrote one of my favorite films (Vox Lux)
a very powerful, relatable movie. For anyone who's been through sexual abuse at a young age, the hypersexuality of the main character, the tangents into the strange and otherworldly (alien abductions), the coldness and distance we keep our loved ones, and the constant retraumatization we put ourselves through... It all hits very close and very deep. A brilliant but brutal film. Hopefully we can one day end this horrific cycle of abuse that happens to too many of our children.
It's hard to end the cycle of Abuse.. as My abuser is a 9 years old boy who Sexually Abused me when I was 4 or 5 years old which I'm very vulnerable at that age 🥲🫂 he threatened that he would hurt me or beat me if I don't follow what he asked for (he forced me to do to it) & raped me then after that incident it damaged my learning skills because all I must do is survived & didn't really get the chance of being innocent & happy children
@@kyzee.2I'm so sorry you went through something so awful. SA is already glossed over let alone COCSA (child-on-child sexual abuse). Just know that you're heard and you're cared for
I had to watch it twice because the ending had me broken and mindblown. It's such a painful film but the pain was necessary to add one more piece of truth to this world. Raw, unsensationalized and respectful of the boys' traumas.
Just finished watching it. Amazing, It's a tough movie but if you can handle it you'll be amazed.
I know this comment is 10 years old but I just finished watching the first 20 minutes or so and I have already felt the most disgusted by something I think Iv'e ever felt. Do. Not. Watch. This. Movie. It's not even the good kind of disturbing. This is a movie from the pits of hell. Just souless and twisted sickness.
@@KobyOwen you're supposed to feel disgusted. that's the point. we deserve to have voices for our pain
@@johndeborde1507 It felt a little over the top though. It didn't have to try to be so shocking
Cómo encuentro la película completa
@@KobyOwen this movie is definitely not soulless, but it’s SUPPOSED to be twisted. this shit happens in real life. the director didn’t pull it out of thin air. you have to realize and understand that. it’s NOT over the top, it’s realistic & raw. what was shown is literally what happens.
No movie has ever spoken to me as much as Mysterious Skin.
I really love this film. It has such a nostalgic vibe to it. There's just something about it that's so beautiful and it gives off this.. feeling? Inside.
Maybe you were a gay male in a past life
It's all coming back to me...
You should read the book then. The director definitely captured a lot from its pages.
@CamilO Cabello is not white She's mestizota- lmao I wrote that 7 years ago
I know, the whole vibe of it! Idk how to explain it otherwise, and I wasn't even born in that era
This movie was truly incredible. The acting was overwhelmingly fantastic. It further proves why Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Brady Corbet are given the credit and acclaim they've received!
My summer of 2004 will forever be immortalized in this movie
I streamed this movie when I was about 12 and I was deeply impressed and disturbed for I have never before seen the topics Mysterious Skin covers depicted in any film. Maybe once a year I think back to this masterpiece and get very nostalgic and shivery. Mysterious Skin has earned itself a permanent place in my heart & memory. I can't tell whether that's a good or a bad sign regarding the age I watched it at; but especially because of this it was such an eye opener and I wouldn't want to miss that memory.
You're fine, if you were 10 it'd be another story but at 12 you understand things enough that you'd be able to process this movie with no issues. Still wouldnt reccomend it to 12 year olds in general though lol
Im 15 and I just watched this
This film, Requiem for a Dream, and Mulholland Drive really floored me and left me with an achingly sweet haunting feeling. If you can get your hands on the soundtrack don't let it go since it's now out of print.
Just watched this and no film has ever had such an impact on me in almost 19 years! It was disturbing and upsetting yet beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone. This is the kind of film you don't forget.
just gont done watching it. about 5 minutes ago. cried so hard my phone doesnt recognize me. i have ptsd, depression, and a lot of trauma. not from SA, but regardless, i connect with it. i couldnt remember what happened for about 6 years. my mom said one thing, one little sentence and i suddenly realized how much i hated talking about it. i got back to my room and just cried. it all starting to come back over the next few months. but that moment, 15 years old, alone in my room, every little thing reminding me of it. felt like the end of the movie. but i was always in the house. i started self harming, thinking of ending it. as a kid, i peed the bed too, after it happened when i was 9. kicked in my sleep. couldnt sleep in my own bed for years, wearing diapers to bed until i was 12. sleeping in my parents until i was 14. sometimes forgot entire months. i always thought it was just the way i was, but it was all because of that one thing. all of it. still is. im 18 now. sometimes i drift off into space, disassociate. im more aware of it now, though. in therapy. it doesnt help much. just got the diagnoses and thats that. thats all it helped.
How didn't this get nominated for an Academy Award? It is clearly one of THE best films ever made.
Love this movie I absolutely love it and the sound track it's so deep
Just watched this movie again I can relate to Neil so much damn
+NTK GAMING I know, same here. For some reason, I find Neil's character so relatable. I don't think thats a good thing though...
Ben Knapp right :(
+NTK GAMING why is it that you relate to Neil?
Harold Budd makes great tunes!
It's been observed that a lot of gay-themed movies are incredibly grim but this one really takes the cake.
One of the best films I have ever seen.
Powerful film. Also a great novel. I read this when I was fourteen, and I kid you not, it changed my perspective on how I looked at things that happened in life. Very touching and also very sad, but I feel that there is a depth of realism to both the book and the movie that most films/novels lack.
19 years ago, I was in the same position as the kids. But I still carry those burdens up til now. Literally, the movie has spoken for me. Great movie btw 👍
Me too
i genuinely hope you're ok now :( hugs.
I never get tired of watching this movie. It's amazing how every time I watch it I feel something different. There are so many reflections. Prostitution, sexually transmitted diseases, child sexual abuse, rape, irresponsible fathers and mothers, trauma, pedophilia. It's surreal the way the boys' trauma is portrayed and that they would never forget. This film is sorely needed. It's timeless. And full of emotion. I love and love very much. I will watch whenever I can.
This may be hands down the most brutal movie I've ever seen: not in a slasher, 'blood and flying body parts everywhere' way, in a "oh my god, did that just happen: my heart, it is BREAKING!" way.
Gotta give the actors and the director credit for handling pretty hardcore topics in such a forthright but delicate way.
I was 4. Only a small blip is what I can remember. I sobbed after watching this film.
same here x.x
Same. I can remember most of it, spanning over the course of months. This rly hit home. Wishing you all healing and peace
I am so sorry
@@AnaLuiza-cr8eo i wish you the same. Im so sorry that happened to you
@UCV0KchKXLYI-To1OSOQ7RRg Fuck your stupid empty apology. Like an apology is going to help. Fucking pathetic. All child molesters deserve the worst possible death.
This film is honestly a masterpiece. It's uncomfortable to watch - but it's real. It's painful and it's beautiful.
This movie helped me open up about my childhood and accept it for what it was. It helped me realize I had more to live for instead of remembering what I couldn't escape.
Wise words, amigo.
Same.
After watching this movie, I got up off of the couch, had a double shot of whiskey, then started the movie over again. Loved it. A fan of JGL's work!
I just watched this movie last night, and I think I will be emotional for days.. can't stop thinking about it. It is one of those movies that will always stay with you.. seriously broke my heart and shocked me to the core of my being. INTENSE.
This movie is so amazing... and so depressing and disturbing at the same time.
Even the trailer gives me chills. Powerful film that deals with the subject matter in a respectful and nuanced way.
This movie was the best movie I’ve ever watched. It changed my life and the way I see things. It shows how hard trauma is and how people deal with it differently, one boy suppressed it thinking it was an abduction, one thought it was love and only thought love was getting with older men, the ending made me cry so hard
Yes, but, the other boy didn't think it was love, from the proof of multiple crying episodes and his promiscuities. He was trying to fill a void inside that can never be complete. Sexual abuse is a hell of a thing. When he sat with the other boy who realized what happened, it's literally one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
@@tinntinnampsadly it happened to me (my mom didn't know because I hide most of it) the Abuser was 9 years old boy & I was 5 years old when it happened, at first he was kind, friendly & understanding boy so we become close friend then one day he suddenly changed his attitude, he was acting weird to me & while covering my mouth, he said: shhhh!! If you don't want to get hurt, just do what I say & don't tell anyone.. then he make me turn around & pull down my pants then just raped me🫂🥲 so after that incident it damaged my learning skills & turns to coping skills but I was so young at that time 5 years old.. my brain blocked that part of the memory & until age 9 something triggers back the memories (that's because same thing happened at age 9 - 12 years old..) but this time by the naughty & like to bully someone & me who were skinny boy who don't know how to fight, so I cry everytime they Bullied me, beat me, raped me, threatened me & finally age 13 it stopped because I developed extreme anger to the point of rage, revenge & basically Suffer from symptoms of PTSD.. there's one time that I punch the table & rage to beat him (my bully) but other classmates prevent it & when I'm calmed down, I broke down & cry
@@tinntinnampage 14 - 18 use Any kind of destruction to surpass the pain & try to keep myself busy & shut down my emotions so it would hurt but it didn't help at the long run because I become depressed, anxious & overthinking.. so I played & played games mostly of my free time until games become so boring that I detached myself from reality & use social media as coping skills but luckily I didn't harm myself
I also thought it was so beautiful. I thought it was the only moment of peace and connection in the movie, the only moment where he was intimate with someone in a healthy, platonic and safe way. It was really sad but it was also the first glimmer of hope, the first potential of healing. That is what I wish for all survivors. That they don't have to face it alone, that they don't have to be further isolated after those horrible experiences. You never know what people are going through, I'm trying to remember that@@tinntinnamp
Never harm yourself - but detaching from reality will never have you living a life again. You deserve to live a good life. I pray you re-gain what was stolen from you@@kyzee.2
The film that received all the tears I could give. Totally deep film.
It was a great film - saw it some years ago. Very disturbing in places, especially towards the end where the truth is revealed in a very even, narrative and graphic way. It really left me feeling queasy afterwards, but woke me up to the kinds of things people go through - more people than we'd care to comfortably admit.
I watched this movie last night, and it reminded me so much of my own trauma I had as 11 year-old boy getting molested by my teenage cousin. It’s really sad and upset that adults would do that to young children. It really ruins you for life.
I remember long time ago someone had posted the entire movie on RUclips. I was so young when I saw it. It scarred me for life!
I related to this film a lot, being a victim of child sexual abuse, even an avid wonderer of UFOs, and it hits too close to home but I love Araki films and man... the first time I saw this, I saw it with a girlfriend and I literally sobbed when I tried not to. There is too much truth to this flick and the soundtrack is beyond great. Everything here is beyond great. I've ended up seeing this movie a million times and it hurts each instance but it's worth it. It's a masterpiece even if 99% of people can't relate to it but love it too.
Reminds me a little bit of "My Own Private Idaho" with River Phoenix & Keanu Reeves! Watch both movies, and find the similarities & differences! In my own opinion, I think this is the best trailer I have ever seen, because it tells soooo much about everything and in the same time it doesn't! ;) You still remain confuse anyways and that's what makes it so great!
This movie hits home for me. It hurts but I understand
I’m here for you
As we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian that it was over now and that everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and tried to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what happened. And I thought of all the grief and suffering and f***ed up stuff in the world, and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically disappear.
The ending is what got me into tears. Coming from an abusive household it connected to me with a deep emotion that’ll I’ll never forget.
while somewhat disturbing, this movie is beautiful. im a sucker for anything cocteau twins. robin guthrie gregg araki young joseph gordon levitt combination is what makes this a film i can watch again throughout the years.
"Brian closed his eyes, blood trailing down his cheek and matting his hair. I felt it, damp and warm, seeping through my pant leg. It was Brian's blood, and for some reason I knew it was pure. No other man I'd held in my arms - and now, not even I - had blood this pure."
Damn.
i watched this movie when i was young. i shouldn't have but now looking back i like this movie. before i was cringing, but i understood what was going on. I guess this movie has taught me alot about the real word and that things like this really happen. it's sad but it's true
this trailer did it for me. then the soundtrack floored me. then I actually saw the film. an absolutely beautiful and haunting story. this movie sears into your conscience.
The ending... Absolutely heartbreaking.
This movie is stunning. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's best performance ever, beautiful score, gorgeous camera work.
my fucking jaw dropped when i saw that grubby hand on my cute little joseph omfg thats when i realized what this movie was about holy shit (first time seeing the trailer and definitely plan on seeing it)
People put this on lists of "disturbing" movies but that is not the point at all. It's the most hopeful movie I've ever seen, perhaps the only hopeful movie that isn't garbage.
Exactly, my friend. Love this movie to pieces.
That bathroom scene really changed my whole life. It's such a hard movie to digest. Can't describe it. The film was a 10/10 but will never watch it again. Real life is scary.
Perfect, feelgood movie to sit with the parents and grandparents and watch with a big old bowl of popcorn 🍿
HOW is he so small here and I was like, 'That looks like Mr. Gordon-Levitt' LOL
One of the best movies ever made, so impactful, deep and well acted. The type of movie I wish I could watch for the first time again.
I ve been watching such shit movies lately...Most of the disturbing movies are pretty bad made...But this is really powerful...Nice acting, great scenes, great story and emotions caught all in one...I would recommend this movie to everyone except for the younger audience...
Any similar movies ?
@@aliabm27 incendies
I just watched it earlier today and I just understood why I am the way I am. It happened 22 years ago when I was sexually abused...I see a lot of myself in Neil, although I was more of Brian when it happened, but the after effect is definitely Neil. I wish I could go back in time and undo those things that happened to me.
so r u copin up by imposing the same action?
@@nicekill7858 no, I did not do as what Neil did...no luring other kids and no prostituting myself...but I understand why I prefer much older men
Watching this tonight with my kids! They LOVE alien movies!!!
:)
Its a lot about him selling his body pretty sure, so its maybe not the best idea
Alien abduction is what his mind has substituted for the too horrible to think about trauma of child sexual abuse. There was no actual alien abduction.
uh...probably not. No, not a good idea.
Well if you consider a child molesting grade school coach an alien who loves nothing more than a good adolescent fisting it'll be right up your alley. But please keep the kids away.
On a more serious note this movie was an amazing oddessy into the dark world of teen hustling and the pervs who prey on them.
One of the few films that have made me cry.
Why is nobody talking about how unbelievably hot Joseph is in this movie?
Because it's a movie about underaged sexual abuse, might seem inappropriate?
Well this is RUclips, nothing is really inappropriate here. :D Anyway, I see your point, it is a serious movie, a very good one.
I get what you mean, but I was just talking about the way Joseph looks. What I said was not related to his role or character or anything connected to the story line. I simply think that the actor looks great at this age, with this haircut,etc. It doesn't matter if he's character is a serial killer, alien or whatever.
ad - On a lighter note than anything else this movie inspires (great movie, but so painful), I saw a clip of Joseph Gordon Levitt saying, “Someday I’ll look like a man even after I shave.” He was in his thirties in the clip.
I keep re-watching this gem of a film from time to time I always discover some new nuance. really a work of art, great storytelling and cinematography
This movie was beyond indescribable. It's one of the best movies I have EVER seen. So amazing.
This is really a tragic tale of closure... it's brutal and beautiful
I related to this movie so fucking much. I just finished watching it, and, at the fault of my own, had a ptsd attack.
It represents what it's like to be a survivor so well. And, in return, you may relate a little TOO much. That doesn't mean this movie isn't good, but it certainly isn't for everyone.
But, take it from me, please, take caution before you watch this if you're also a survivor. It can bring back many unwanted memories, and it most definitely IS NOT about alien abductions. There are violent and graphic scenes with children involved, so, please, watch at your own risk. Repressed memories may come up, and trust me, I know how hard it is to cope with them.
So, take this comment as a friendly little trigger warning for this movie. Stay safe and take care y'all.
I finished watching this film half an hour ago and I'm simply speechless... this is definitely one of the greatest films I've ever watched...amazing. Just beautiful.
actually came here because of the soundtrack.. will definitely watch this now
Brad's acting is super! I love the ending so much, I'd watch it a thousand times.
This movie was so damn good. I loved the connection of memory lapses and alien abduction to traumatic experiences. I think this is Araki's best.
Most underrated film going half of Levitts fans probably ain’t even seen this film his best performance by far. Great film
Just watched this film yesterday. It's such a masterpiece! Very raw and great, highly recommend it, Joseph Gordon´Levitt delivered a remarkable performance, just wow, hands down.
This is a glorious masterpiece that I wish I could unsee
well wrote story that needs to be watched by all parents to open there eyes
Just watched this movie... and i'm speechless. one of the most heartbreaking movies i have ever watched. my hat goes off to JGL, the other actors, the director and the writer...it was amazing.
this movie it's so well made and so emotional I probably won't watch it more than once but it's life changing
This film is turning 20 years old just yesterday. Happy Belated Birthday! Remember, watch yourself carefully. 🕊️
one of the best films i've even seen.
My life... I'm now 3 years off booze and finally not doing survival sex. I found this movie when I was angry and alone. This fucking saved my life.
This just reminded me that I know little of how such shameful past has affected who I am today. I would have been a better version of myself if these things did not happen to me at all.
Were your memories suppressed or did you always remember what happened to you?
I watch this movie yesterday night,and I watch it again this afternoon.It is so amazing that I can't believe I've lived without it for almost 16 years.
amazing movie truly deep and kind of fucks you up for a bit.
I thought of all the grief and sadness and fucked up suffering in the world...
and it made me want to escape I wished with all my heart that we could just...
Ieave this world behind Rise like a angel in the night and magically...
disappear......
my girlfriend and i had to hug each other so tight while watching this, we both teared up at the end 😭😭
This movie Is one of the best movies ever made, no trailer can ever describe the beauty and Harsh reality of this movie you just have to see it for yourself
This movie fucked me up...but it's so powerful and intense
I've got kind of a love hate relationship going on with it lol
Well that's the trauma of child abuse for you
But is it good?
DJSouthFlorida Yeah it's good some parts might make you uncomfortable or cringe but overall I think it's a good and enjoyable movie ^^
Melissa Renee Alright. I'll take your word.
DJSouthFlorida Word of caution it deal with child abuse and sexual abuse/rape. I wouldn't recommend anyone under the age of 16 or anyone who is hyper-sensitive about those issues or can't handle them watch it. That and anyone who is homophobic should steer clear.....
i watched this when i was like 13 and felt violated by it LOL
such a good movie! joseph gordon-levitt is fucking ridiculously attractive in it too!!
I saw this when it first came out, and I remember seeing the trailers for 500 Days Of Summer, just like,
O.O ... that's a completely different role than Mysterious Skin. But I'm glad he's more famous now, he's an awesome actor.
This was the most messed up movie I've ever seen, but its power made it really good at the same time. Some scenes were very hard for me to watch and understandably so if you choose to watch it yourself.
I bought this movie back in 2013 after coming across the _Halloween_ track from the soundtrack on iTunes in 2011. I watched it once that same year, yet I still remember it as if I’d seen it everyday since then. I’m long overdue for another viewing.
Its an amazing film. I try to watch it every Christmas...though its not exactly a Christmas movie. 2 boys. 2 paths. I do love his film. It actually inspired me to write a book 5 years ago. That book turned into a series of books that I still continue to this day. Yes, it is about a boy that was abused. No it is not like this and definitely not something that some perv can get off on. Its about healing from the abuse...just like this movie. SOmetimes knowing that someone went through something similar to what you went through can make you feel less alone.
If this is shown on Streaming, it has to have a 5 second Warning like Gasper Noe's I Stand Alone and a Short Documentary After Special, where the Director and Cast talk about the Book and the Subject of the Film like an After School Special. 20 minutes that follow after or in between like a Commercial break, where they discuss what's happening.
"Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear"
literally only watched the trailer and i’m crying i fear i can never watch this lovie
Sad that people don’t understand that this does actually happen to kids every single day
This film destroyed me the first time I watched it, I cried so hard and hysterically like it had happened to me. I couldn't get it out of my head for weeks. I've watched it all the way through about 3 or 4 times now. Last time I watched it I only got teary eyed.
Yeah, any sci fi buffs going into this movie thinking its about UFOs wont be happy
Joseph and brady did a very good job on embodying the characters.
