dull thunder

It is also a model of a small point that changes an entire life. The topics discussed are relatively sharp, and the director's courage is not ordinary, putting child sexual abuse and gay issues together. Two boys with very different personalities, one cheerful and happy, is the star of the baseball team, and the other is silent and cowardly, unknown in the team. But one day, he was brought home by a baseball coach with severe pedophilia and suffered misfortune, which also became the shadow of the two that followed them all their lives. The picture of the film is bright and colorful, but it does not prevent the director from expressing the dark theme. Described to Neil as a "silent galaxy surrounded by", he is beautiful but sad, and becoming a male prostitute is only a part of his self-imposed exile and healing under the shadows of his childhood. Throughout the movie, you can hear his voice falling apart from the inside out in the beauty and shock, which is really distressing. At the same time, this movie also made Joseph Gordon-Levitt a once-in-a-lifetime performance, even if he has always had weird taste in film selection.
