Micron is serious
One of the hottest topics discussed on the Internet in recent years must be the impact of childhood experiences on a person's growth and even the whole life, or how big the impact can be.
If you are familiar with the network environment, you must have seen similar topics.
No matter when, the answer to this topic is relatively convergent, that is, childhood experiences can really affect a person's life in many cases.
It is said that misfortune is better than luck, and tragedy is more memorable than comedy. This statement is true even from the experiences reported by everyone on the Internet. What makes people feel sad is that most of the experiences are about pessimistic things. .
What is even more sad is that a considerable part of the childhood shadows are about being seduced by elders or teachers and even sexually hurt.
And the movie I'm talking about today is about two children. Because of their ignorance in childhood, they were coaxed and seduced by their coaches. As a result, they couldn't get rid of their psychological shadows as adults and ruined the story of their whole life.
"Mysterious Skin"
"Mysterious Skin".
The main actor is Jon Cerf, a relatively early work by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is familiar to those who follow European and American circles.
The story begins with the childhood of two little boys. Brian was brought home by the team's coach when he was eight years old, and since then he has left a lingering psychological shadow, which has become a permanent dream in his heart.
Another boy, Neil, was brought home by his coach when he was eight years old . The coach distorted the ignorant Neil's cognition, and the impact on Neil was that he would indulge in such same-sex games and grow up to become a gay sex worker in his hometown.
He also had a naive, but contradictory attachment to the baseball coach. That incident began his longing and exploration of the same sex.
On the other hand, Brian's memory of the whole incident is blurry. Although bits and pieces reappeared in his dreams from time to time, he firmly believed that the coma ten years ago and the blood dripping from his nostrils after waking up were all because of Abducted by aliens.
The story follows Brian's journey to find clues, to try to fill in his lost memory, and to develop. Meanwhile, Neil is slowly falling into a sad situation. He was constantly hurt and banished throughout his life as a sex worker, and he himself never came out of the wrong sexual guidance of his childhood, but was in constant misery.
While Brian went to find Neil, Neil had saved enough money and decided to go to New York to continue the life he wanted to live. Unexpectedly , in New York, he encountered twisted customers, was hurt and beaten. Neil eventually returns to his mother's house, and Brian sees Neil again and asks him about what happened as a child.
On Christmas Eve, the two finally meet at the residence of the coach who violated them, and Neil tells him the real situation of that year. Brian's memory was finally retrieved. He clearly recalled what he had experienced in the past, so he lost his memory under the stimulation.
On the snowy Christmas Eve, these two boys who were hurt at the same moment, and who may never recover, embraced each other again after many years, but whether they can really get out of the abyss in the future, no one knows.
In the past two years, people who are more concerned about the literature market should have heard a book more or less - "Fang Siqi's First Love Paradise".
Listening to the name, isn't it quite a girly book full of pink romance? But in reality, the book was written in blood.
It is the last cry of a poor girl who has been molested by her teacher for a long time since she was a girl, and who has received no help from the surrounding environment.
Most of the encounters of the protagonists in the book are the real experiences of the author Lin Yihan in reality.
Yes, that's right, shortly after the publication of this book, the author Lam Yihan committed suicide. This literary work full of aura has since become Lam Yihan's swan song.
Stories abound on the Internet about the impact of childhood and even teenage trauma in this area on people, making it hard to read.
And in today's "Mysterious Skin", it is also the pain that the two boys can't bear in their entire lives.
After watching the entire movie, I couldn't find any words to describe how it made me feel. Confusion is mixed with heartache, and desire is mixed with innocence.
It seems that the film was dressed in the cloak of child sexual abuse, and attracted a lot of criticism. But if you only talk about the movie and don't talk about the three views, after watching the movie, you will find that the director not only did not deliberately vilify the coach who hurt them back then, but even made these hurt and deceived scenes very beautiful.
The film avoids those taboo scenes intentionally or unintentionally. If you don't taste carefully and continue to watch the film, you can't see what the coach has done to the two teenagers.
Of course, this is not to whitewash the coach, or else the pain of the two boys would not be the theme throughout. This is a metaphor, which shows that the boys' memory, three views and sexual cognition have been completely distorted, so that the story in their memory is not real at all, and even sometimes seems illusory and beautiful.
Completely different from the victims that many people imagine will cry, make trouble, and hang themselves, many victims in real life will react more like Fang Siqi in "Fang Siqi's Paradise of First Love", and "Mysterious Skin". "In Neil and Brian, they were greatly stimulated, and their entire lives were distorted.
They don't necessarily cry hysterically, they're more likely to wrap themselves in a thick shell like a frog in warm water, or even if they're too young to be guided when they're hurt, they might look like Like Neil, the perception of sex is completely distorted.
When children are young, they don't know anything about sex. Therefore, whether it's a lady or a loli, as long as you touch him, it doesn't matter what you want or what you want.
But what's more serious, it's not that you love him in your own way with a smile on your face, it's that you leave your children in a brand new, unknown, terrifying place after enjoying this guilty pleasure. world.
At the end of the story, they restored everything to what it was at the place where the incident happened back then. Brian was crying in grief, and Neil held him on his lap with a blank expression and told him the unbearable past events.
The life that had been determined as early as the summer of 1981 had to face a new beginning in 1991. This is the end of the movie.
But this end is a question that has been opened but will never be answered.
Such movies, such tragedies, such true stories, are often overly distressing. But just like Neil and Brian hugging each other, life still has to face the pain constantly, then wipe away the tears and move on. All adults can do is try to make this tragedy as little as possible.
