      Should the law prohibit sexual orientation conversion therapy?

      Comment on the appeal at the end of the film that "the law prohibits sexual orientation conversion therapy".

      At present, academic circles agree that sexual orientation reversal measures will increase the risk of sexual minorities suffering from other psychological disorders (such as depression and anxiety). Should the law prohibit sexual orientation reversal measures?

      What I call sexual orientation reversal measures refers to: efforts to change sexual orientation, including...

      A bit disappointed

      This movie should be sought after by the LGBTQ community, but I was a little disappointed after watching it. It was not as exciting as I expected, and the discussion of the same-sex issue was not deep enough. Such a sensitive topic should have been well done, but in fact it seems The boat crossed the water without a trace, and failed to leave a deep impression like the "Beibei Mountain" of the same theme.

      First of all, the male protagonist Jared has a great mentality. He doesn't have...

      Everyone needs this kind of courage

      The pastor's son reminded me of Bobby, both of whom were opposed because of their sexuality, but luckily the hero of the film escaped and embraced himself. Bobby chose suicide because of religion and mother's torture. There are ideas in Christianity that do educate children, but the description of homosexuality misleads many people. Bobby doubts himself because of religious descriptions, and his heart is tortured. I hope everyone can stick to themselves, and admitting oneself is also a...

      Get your hands out of the window, taste the taste of freedom, and release the depression in your heart. The film has too many themes piled up, which seems to be a growth theme, but it also discusses sexual orientation, family, religion and many other things, but the director did not grasp it well, which eventually led to the film's plot becoming lengthy, thus making the film too long. The film lacks the authenticity of biopics. If the film can be like "God Save Bobby", it will definitely be a...

      Nicole is really great, she can let go of her big star status, she can be misunderstood and take poison at the box office, and she has to play a supporting role in every such good movie, just doing her...

      It's an unexpected type. Lucas's performance is so wonderful. It's completely juvenile Hamlet-style hesitation. Many people say that this film lacks a climax. I think the performance of various details and emotions is wonderful. When religious belief and self conflict, hesitation and confusion are also The premise that therapy can exist The part between relatives is very touching, although it is an understatement. Mom is mom, dad is dad. Love is always there. The so-called mutual understanding...

    Evaluation action

    "Boy Erased" presents this subject in a real and thought-provoking way, but at the same time it is not too preaching. Very charming and entertaining. Although a major social issue is involved, the core is the mother's love for her son, which Nicole Mary Kidman showed with ease. Lucas Hedges, Russell Crowe, especially Nicole Mary Kidman performed very well. Lucas Hedges contributed a small but powerful performance. As a director, Joel...
