if you thought this was intense, just wait and read the book.
I liked the movie, I saw the trailer a while ago and I really felt like watching it, but I heard there was a book, and the book is almost always better than the movie, so I decided I would read the book first.
I really think you should read the book if you liked the movie, even though you know the end, the book is way more intense, and they've left some parts here and there.
But the movie was good, it did justice to the book.
Wow this disturbed me. Sucking thing is I'm only 13. I feel like I can throw up. This was a great movie, it makes me really think Idk y but it impacted me in someway I feel bad for the kids tht get raped after watching this ill think more differently, I always use to think tht web kids get raped that it wouldn't impact the lifestyle when there older, well this movie showed me that it does impact it and this movie might just b describing how a kid feels right now and in very sorry for them.
This movie is very depressing. It's sad that you did this to an 8 year-old kid.Joseph Gordon- Levitt and Brady Corbet really did good in this movie. i would of rat fit 5|5
Wow.. Sometimes there's this feeling that you get after watching an extremely compelling, overpowering and emotional film. This feeling makes you just want to break down and cry, and it causes you to feel an emotion that sometimes you can't even explain. It causes your hand to shake, and then even hours after you've watched it and your trying to sleep the feeling is still there, keeping you up. Like a feeling you can't shake.
That was incredible......... but so sad. Absolutely loved Joseph Gordon Levitt's character and the narration and the acting. But the movie itself is so depressing that I won't constantly watch this. Maybe when I miss Neil...
I love how this and Bad Education can have the same theme but be totally different
This movie is incredible, it sends a message of hope. No matter what happens to you in life, by accepting the past you can find happiness at the end of the pain :) Once innocence is loss it can make us feel worthless, lost, and unsure. With determination to find your own happiness you can overcome anything. Although this film isn't pretty, it's real. Although Neil became a victim of his abuse, he was able to help Charlie discover the truth about what happened so he could find closure and be free
i wish i could find a way to help kids like neil. a lot of them have made an emotional disconnect with the world around them because of their traumatic experiences. damn pedophiles. damn them to hell for ruining the innocence of children.
how come this "there is nothing wrong with pedophile" comment is not removed!
i'm tired of this american "live and let live" crap, and oh the thing abut unforeseeable trauma, that's rich, really! leave the kids alone! only god is missing in that comment, how he created you like all the rest with your ideas of pleasure True Love, absolutely unacceptable!true love so much so that they get epileptic seizures and stuff out of pure pleasure, I guess
there is nothing wrong whith a pedophile? REALLY wtf? if someone ever did this to my child i would go to jail for attemted murder. its just sick and disgusting! this was great movie but so heart renching. obviousely that pedophile mess up both brains and niels life
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
there is nothing wrong with pedophile: i keep the right of being pedophile as long as he doesnt harm the kid. by the way, neil remembers the story as True Love and his coach's intent was not surely harming neil, so thats ok. When come to the brian's: there can be always something in the life that will cause trauma in our later years, but no possibility to foresee it !! therefore, the only thing we care about is the Good Will in the affairs.
@princepyrrhon okay,so be a parent and have your own child and be okay w/ the idea that there's some old,disgusting pedophile lusting after your son/daughter, harvesting the potential to do great harm to him/her, physically and emotionally, and tell me that you would be okay w/that. hell, you would probably invite the bastard over for tea.
@princepyrrhon you, my friend, have a very weak moral compass if you are okay with the concept of pedophilia. i will pretend that you are a troll. but if you are not, then you really need to get psychological help. to endorse in the idea that the corruption of innocence is alright is disturbing. the impact in which sexual violation at a young age can influence the psyche and soul of a person is obvious. why do you think human trafficking is considered the worst of sins?
I think it's very important that this movie doesn't have a happy ending. After that much pain there's no one event or perfect speech to make it all better, just keep on keeping on and it'll get better over time. But equally important is that it does not doom them to an inability to live a 'normal' life, or die. Just because it hurts doesn't mean you're broken, or that you're done with life. That's a very important message. It's a very good ending.
This is FUCKED up big time If i knew that guy who hurt them at eight years old i would beat the living hell out of him with a fucking sludge hammer until there is nothing but grounded meat. im 15 and bi i wish all the boys and girls living with these horrible people to stop suffering and find peace and comfort.
this movie is really hard to watch... i will never forget about this movie/ story. just horrible. but of course great acting, director and everything...
This is my interpretation of the film: The obvious, two young boys being molested by a demonic sick fuck; the tale tells of how to two boys deal with the ordeal. One, became a rebellious teenager, who suppressed every feeling - he seen himself as an object. And the one, who sub-consciously re-created the story to an alien abduction (in order to protect himself)
Childhood should be a time of innocent freedom, playing hide and seek or football or just hanging around your neighborhood, NOT SEX child molesters are the most distgusting people on the planet.! and also anyone who thinks the molestation turned Neil gay is an idiot
Sad but good ending. I thought the movie was trash and a waste of good actors until I saw the final scene. How the truth was unfolded.
Brains obsession was really a past experience he had with Neil. The final scene explained the whole movie. How Brian and Neil were connected all along. How their minds were messed up by a sick pedophile.
first read about this movie after reading an article about the Penn State Sandusky scandal in which someone had commented how it reminded them of this movie. read the plot and reviews and it really looks intriguing. I wish had the stomach to actually watch the whole thing. decided to click on this last scene and it was enough to make me sick. I hope and pray that all victims of abuse will find a way to heal. my heart breaks for all of us.
Mysterious skin really shows how one's mind can become fucked up and twisted when you're abused. Especially at such a young age when you're so naive and don't really know what abuse is. This is one of the best movies I've seen.
Yes I agree, very hard to watch. Concur with most of the comments. I'm an idiot. Really thought at the beginning it was a satire on UFO. Because part 2 was missing I didn't realise until too late the real theme. But the acting was so good and I've long liked Ms. Shue. Now I can just cry.
It's not fucked up. It's not a fragment of the director's imagination, it's real life. Most of us just don't know what goes on behind closed doors, and how people deal with this stuff. To be honest I think it's one of the best films ever made because it hides nothing and brings across such a strong message.
Abuse should never happen to children.It`s one thing i can never get my head around. How can anyone M/F find a child sexualy attractive? They must be really sick in the head.
@tangood4 Pretty much agree with you, but I got the feeling it's just a little part of a broader cycle... the couch could have been sexually harrassed before...
Man. That fucking sucks. To be obsessed with figuring out what happened to you one night when you were 8, convinced that it was aliens, because that's where all your evidence points to. Then to figure out you were just raped by some disgusting pedophile.
@spongebobsmyhero ahaha talk like that, makes this ridiculous. but you know, what happen in that day, it affected their lifes very much, in a way you cant imagine.
I disagree, I think he was gay(because of the scene with his mom and her bf) and his abuse just made him careless about sex and life in general. This is such a sad movie, but very good. The one thing I don't like is how some people think that all gays have been molested, which is totally stupid.
@misshannahbanana472 But the abuse happened first though. I think regardless of whether or not he had met that coach, he would've been gay, and what happened with him just made him careless like you said.
And Neil definitely became gay because of his childhood trauma, in my personal opinion that's quite apparent. This was a very disturbing movie, but depicted rape and pedophilia in a way that everyone can understand.
What an experience. I mean this is pretty much the truth about rape. Gay or not. Some remember it and it ruins the rest of their lives, and other repress it and are like Brian always searching for answers and making up stories so they pretend to understand. Good fucking god, this was amazing. And I love that it depicted how your born gay you don't choose or become it because of childhood trauma such as this. Excellent film.
So tragic, so sad. . . but oh my god, this movie is incredible. People kept saying this was very disturbing. . . I wasn't disturbed, I was enticed, my eyes were glued to the screen the whole time, no flicker of emotion. Except this part, where I cried my eyes out. <3 Beautiful movie, so very amazing. [:
The last part is false hope, you'd think they get closure from the ordeal by going back to the scene and talking about it, but the boys just relive the horror and one of them starts freaking out. Then JGL's voiceover seals the deal. Such a depressing yet touching movie.
OMG!! what a sad story....i was just downright speechless, shocked and in tears when i first saw this.....JGL and Brady Corbet both amazing/sexy actors.....so much love goes out to them! <3<3
@iamn0tfak3 what the hell are you talking about Neil knew he was gay before he had even met the coach. So you are wrong when you say "gay came from their child hood lives". Neil was born gay like all other LGB people.
OMG..this movie..wow I'm speechless...I don't do tears when it comes to movies but this seemed so realistic. Had me on the break. To think that this kinda shit actually happens. It's scary as hell man. My hearts still racin. It's alwayz the realistic stuff thatz way more scarey than any horror film out.
Actually, there's many things one can do, negative or positive. Hell, murder, suicide, new pedi ways, mental deteriation, or acceptance and living well, both become advocates....whatever. Not being silent is the pt. It may not benefit the one person but it could make a difference for another. What are u five, for saying such a cliche statement???
Could take his trick money and get therapy for both of them. Plus tell ya fuking parents...dudes mom is a cop for goodness sake. When u grow up, u put away the silence inorder to grow those wings...im glad some state laws allow jail for pedo if u remember late in life.
God this was an amazing movie but so deeply sad. I feel terrible for the both of them. The actors they picked were perfect for the roles... god... I'm just stunned and oh so sad. D:
This movie is a reminder of what we as humans try to forget. SO many of us go through this and it's hard. This movie is a hurtful, intense, reminder that this is happening, and is always going to.
I remember watching this film about a year or two ago..... its very intense, and interesting.... thanks for uploading the entire thing... Its one of those movies that just stick with you... anyone who watches this will know what I mean.... thanks again. Peace!
This movie is beyond amazing thanks for uploading:) The ending made me cry:*( This is a weird question but am I the only one who wished they would've showed Eric and Neil get together?
Very few movies stick with me the way this one did.
It's such a disturbing film, but SO well done. The characters are just spectacular and unforgettable. The story is quite... haunting. But through all of that darkness that these characters went through, theres something really beautiful when the two of them meet, and they mend some of those horrible wounds that they could probably never completely heal.
And, my god, I swear I am in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt! :p
@CloudX100 I agree with everything you said. It's so tragic but so beautiful at the same time. I bet there's some fancy Latin word to describe that feeling of immense beauty within adversity. The last part is like closure, but never complete utter closure. I agree that mending is the word.
Surprisingly seeing this movie. I never knew that there is somebody in this world would create this which is almost thesame of my life story. Pretty intense and true because anywhere you go the past will always hunt you and I feel this much because they were 8 years old and I was 7 when same things happened to me. No matter what I do my past is always there following me but owing to that fact it also made who am I right now. I may not able to erase it but it help to fight!!!
@surprizeme69 I hope you understand my situation. No worries I can make this through. Who ever the writer.... who ever the director and producer.... Thanks you... to the staff... thank you.
@surprizeme69 I wish you the best happiness for the rest of your life. The suffering you found when you were small will not return. So don't drag it around with you anymore. It is over. You are alive and you will heal from it. I know you will be happy.
Thanks for showing this movie. It is incredible how some adults interact with children and how they can mess them up for life. But probably the most moving part of the movie was when Eric had to share what happened with Bryan, who had blocked out nearly everything from his mind. It seemed that this was one way that Eric could become human again and care about someone else. A movie that is probably too painful to watch again. Thanks.
Amazing film. Explicitly depicts human darkness, yet at the same time it encourages the human spirit/heart/soul, whichever you prefer, to remain strong despite all the suffering it may encounter.
:( i don't know what else to say... i wish it didn't happen

@iamn0tfak3 what the hell are you talking about Neil knew he was gay before he had even met the coach. So you are wrong when you say "gay came from their child hood lives". Neil was born gay like all other LGB people.

Actually, there's many things one can do, negative or positive. Hell, murder, suicide, new pedi ways, mental deteriation, or acceptance and living well, both become advocates....whatever. Not being silent is the pt. It may not benefit the one person but it could make a difference for another. What are u five, for saying such a cliche statement???

This movie is a reminder of what we as humans try to forget. SO many of us go through this and it's hard. This movie is a hurtful, intense, reminder that this is happening, and is always going to.

Very few movies stick with me the way this one did.
It's such a disturbing film, but SO well done. The characters are just spectacular and unforgettable. The story is quite... haunting. But through all of that darkness that these characters went through, theres something really beautiful when the two of them meet, and they mend some of those horrible wounds that they could probably never completely heal.
And, my god, I swear I am in love with Joseph Gordon-Levitt! :p

@CloudX100 I agree with everything you said. It's so tragic but so beautiful at the same time. I bet there's some fancy Latin word to describe that feeling of immense beauty within adversity. The last part is like closure, but never complete utter closure. I agree that mending is the word.

Surprisingly seeing this movie. I never knew that there is somebody in this world would create this which is almost thesame of my life story. Pretty intense and true because anywhere you go the past will always hunt you and I feel this much because they were 8 years old and I was 7 when same things happened to me. No matter what I do my past is always there following me but owing to that fact it also made who am I right now. I may not able to erase it but it help to fight!!!

Thanks for showing this movie. It is incredible how some adults interact with children and how they can mess them up for life. But probably the most moving part of the movie was when Eric had to share what happened with Bryan, who had blocked out nearly everything from his mind. It seemed that this was one way that Eric could become human again and care about someone else. A movie that is probably too painful to watch again. Thanks.
