Even in the United States, "homosexuality" has travelled a tortuous journey. The "Mistaken Education" (also translated as "Sex Education Prison" 2018), which was adapted from the novel of the same name by Emily Danvers by the Iranian female director Dai Siri Akavan, gave people a glimpse of such a weird and absurd education. In the early 1990s, this real case called "Sexual Orientation Correction Class" has a bone-in and detailed interpretation. Its artistic level has qualitatively improved compared with her last debut, "Iranian Breakup", revealing her Outstanding talent.
Daisiri Akavan was born in New York to Iranian immigrants and received a good education. She herself is an open bisexual, which in itself requires extraordinary courage. If she grew up in Iran, it would be unthinkable.
"Super Kill Girl" Kolomer Ritz successfully interprets Cameron's "guilt" role. Sasha Lane, who played the leading role in "American Sweetheart", also performed well in the film as Jane. It’s ridiculous that just because Cameron and the lesbian Kelly had the urge to be "homosexual" in the car, they were sent to the concentration camp-style "sexual orientation correction class" and became "the promised disciple of God" and treated God everywhere. "Sin is sin," as the female teacher said, "Sin is sin. You have to break with the sins of homosexuality and turn you into a Christian."
The male teacher Rick also has a set of corrective "iceberg theory". Only when he recognizes the dangers deep in the iceberg can he make a fundamental change. What teachers have to do is of course to do everything possible to eliminate their "same-sex attraction."
There are a lot of boys and girls with "same sex" tendency, but their hearts are very dark. Cameron has certainly resisted, but he can only obey this set of ridiculous stereotypes. Only Jane and Adam did not take this correction seriously. The two went to the basement to steal marijuana together, creating a happy world for them. Slowly, Cameron became friends with cheerful Jane. Helen, who was in the same room, looked a bit fake, but her same-sex tendencies could not be concealed in the middle of the night. She thought Cameron's silence was offensive.
The fact is that these theories and methods of so-called sexual orientation correction are ultimately useless. Just as human souls cannot be exchanged and altered, sexual orientation is also part of the laws of nature, which is an existence that humans must face squarely.
Fallacies that think they are right will always prevail. Cameron, who had been depressed, had to call Coley secretly, and learned that she had been treated unfairly, and her heart was so painful that she couldn't solve it. This was why she was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. She had been quiet, and jumped to the stage. Pop songs were sung on. Unfortunately, the female teacher Tandy Campbell found out and was punished. Everything must be subject to God's ruling, and everything must be required by the standards of the believers. This is a prison for them who are in their youth.
Involuntarily, Cameron can only seek solace in his dreams. From time to time, there is always a strong light from a flashlight. Fortunately, it is just a "dream". If it is true, I don't know how it will end.
The boy Mark is the bravest among boys. He has been under pressure from his father and has no substantive homosexuality. He speaks sharply and has a broad heart, but who knows the pain in his heart. He criticized those who thought they were right: "Everyone draws a merciless line somewhere." In the performance, he recites a section of "Second Corinthians" to vent his anger.
It was precisely because "there was a thorn growing on his body" that made him act aggressively that night, which not only caused him deep harm, but also brought fear to his classmates, so that government agencies had to intervene to investigate this. The origin of the incident. The lid was finally lifted, but the correction class did not end there.
If the male teacher Rick slowly feels confused, after all, he said that I don’t have a good answer to sexual orientation correction, but the female teacher Tandy Campbell is much more ruthless. She firmly believes in this, she said. The human race only eats the enemies they admire. The staring look in her eyes is simply a nightmare for the students. It is true that she has worked hard to correct the sexual orientation of the students in this class, but her harm is also here, in the name of God, she is oppressive.
This is in the long history of mankind. Are there few such lessons? In the same way, every time mankind makes progress, it has to pay a painful price. Fortunately, at the end of the film, Cameron, Jane and Adam got on a pickup to escape. This long shot is like a painful memory that they can't get rid of. The three of them were not sitting in the car, and as they gradually moved away, smiles finally appeared on their faces.
