Written on the front: I have been very busy recently, and I haven't watched a movie for a long time. I went to see a "casually" movie with my friends. Don't know the movie background, don't know the cast, don't know the storyline, just know the name of the movie. After watching this movie, I actually feel really good, just follow the plot of the movie slowly and deeply. "
"Boy Erased" is another film about the LGBT community. The story takes place in Arkansas in the United States. Jared lives in a very traditional and very devout religious family. His father is a respected pastor. She was also a car salesman; her mother was not only gentle and conscientious, but also deeply religious. So Jared's education since childhood was propagating that homoerotism is sinful and dirty, so when he first realized that he liked the same sex, he was self-fearing, self-denying, self-criticizing, he struggled and repented, and he could only go out. It's ridiculous and ignorant to be assigned by my father to a "gay conversion treatment center" behind the cabinet, and the so-called "treatment center" looks more like a drug rehab center, and the irony is that the administrator was a prisoner before. , their narrow-mindedness and prejudice describe homosexuality as a pathological condition, and they always want to use coercive methods to transform gay minds. (Troye is really a surprise, because I didn't know the cast list in advance, I was so excited to see Troye, although not the main character, but every frame is beautiful like a painting) Traditional-minded parents feel that their children like same-sex is one This kind of disease, can not understand the child's sexual orientation, so send the child to the "transformation treatment center" to "treat the disease". In such a dark environment, Jared dared to look inside himself after experiencing incredible trauma, know himself better, know what he wants and what he really wants to do. The entire film uses interlude, using Jared's recollections to complement and foil the main storyline. I am a person with a very low tear point, but in this film, it is more about repression and restraint. The film contains love, but what is more touching is family affection. I still remember the words of my mother: "I love god, god loves me, I love my son." and Jared's conversation with his father, "I am a gay, but I am your son." is love Jean Everything becomes possible. But every change will be exchanged for someone's life. The most heart-wrenching is Cameron, who, as a child who was "treated", chose to end his own life.
"Boy Erased" will definitely be compared with "Love Simon", which is more youthful and energetic, but "Boy Erased" more reflects the current social environment, and the story takes place in the United States, pointing out that not every Americans understand and respect the so-called "homosexuals". He (she) is not a strange group, nor a monster, nor a disease. All his (her) loves are just normal love, just like you and me. . At the end of the credits, it is told that the story in the film is real, based on the real experience of Garrard Conley. There are many surprises in this movie. The title of the movie is "Boy Erased", which translates to "The Boy Erased", so when the movie name appears, the letters are erased one by one; and Troye sings the ending song. "Revelation", "You're revolution" in the lyrics. This is not only the first time that Troye has spoken out for a gay film, but also the "Strawberry And Cigarette" of "Love Simon". Troye is using his own actions to tell everyone that this is a rough road, but he will go on firmly. . He said in an interview, "These parents really love their kids - and because they really love their kids, they want to send their kids to conversion therapy. And then the whole thing happened, how wrong it was. , I hope parents can see that and they won't put their kids through something like that."
【I hope everyone understands and respects】
