  • :( i don't know what else to say... i wish it didn't happen

  • 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.

  • and that's how he became cobra commander

  • i am crying soooooo much oh my god this is horrible

  • Joseph's final quote + Samsketi - Sigur Rose = perfection.

  • The only bright thing that I can say about this film is that Niel seemed to have a heart at the end.

    God I love Joseph.

  • 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.

  • Joseph-Gordon Levitt did an amazing job in this film. they all did really.

  • :( ;,(..

  • What a sad, sad ending. Hauntingly visceral.

  • 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

  • For once I didn't cry my eyes out at this film, I just welled up and feeling extremely empty

  • Yep.  And there goes my heart. In pieces.

  • ;_;...well... uhmm... imma watch little ponies now.

  • Deep, disturbing, truly excellent movie. So many sick people in this world, so many victims in this world. I really feel for those vicims.

  • This is the epitome of "the truth hurts," for everyone whose been through this.

  • Amazing ending, phenomenal plot.

  • Comment removed

  • This movie...makes me ball my eyes out. Ha, I feel like such a baby.

  • Amazing movie.

  • this movie was so emotional and powerful. 

  • @princepyrrhon; you need medication.

  • 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'm glad I finally got to see the whole thing. It was really good and really sad.

  • I must have gone through an entire Kleenex box for the last two parts. Extremely moving and horribly tragic.

  • 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.

  • such a good movie but terribly tragic.

  • I want to like this movie...but it's way too sad. I felt sorry for the two boys.

  • 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

  • @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.

  • "rise up like two angels in the night" most beautiful scene in this movie

  • 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)

    It's about rape, and how people deal with it.

  • Thanks so much for uploading this amazing movie. I've been wanting to see this for ages now.

  • now i kind of get why people think of suicide. when you feel like there is no escape, it's the only way out.

  • 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.

    The ending is what made it a great movie.

  • 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.

  • @canihelpyou mine too

  • Neil's words at the end sent chills down mi spine! ....disappear.

  • do you think bryan is gay?

  • im glad im finish part 8. its was speechless..  this movie is depressing yet impressive.

  • Comment removed

  • i never cry because of a film, but the final words combined with the score killed me

  • 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.

  • Damn i had to skip through most of it :/ very good film but very hard to watch :(

  • omgsh i wish this was longer.....!!!

  • @WHOAitssusan That's what she said....sorry :(

  • @fakelegsrealfeet oh damn lmao. well i didnt mean it that way but ya knoww.

  • @Anglolund Mine.

  • very disturbing

  • brilliant but not easy to watch

  • This is a very good movie!! it deserves universal acclaim!!!

  • 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.

  • @star0dreamer I wish I could thumbs-up your comment 100 times.

  • beautiful film.

  • 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...

  • the speech that neil says at the end, with that music in the background always gets to me

  • Such a true film.

  • Comment removed

  • :'(

  • I feel so terrible after having watched this...

  • 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.

    This movie is depressing.

  • @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.

  • @misshannahbanana472 right he says when he 1st meets his coach he was attracted to him

  • @Joefonzgoldenarms he was attracted to the coach just to trying figure out her dad figure...

  • him*

  • @misshannahbanana472 he is certainly gay, also because he not sees him dad very much and he is trying to figure out the paternal figure in his life..

  • 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.

  • This is one of the saddest movies I've ever watched...

  • It was rough to sit through but definitely one of the best films of the 2000s.

  • This was disconcerting. Good film though. Honest and compelling.

  • @ElBuki146 what he did was called acting. and he did a great job portraying a rapist. ph and acting is a job too you get paid for it.

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing film..

  • 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.

  • This movie was fucked up.

  • Does that mean people experiencing abduction in their childhood is just covered up sexual trauma?..

  • What the fuck... This is one of the most fucked up movies i have seen in my life, it hurt physically for me to watch this shit. What the fuck

  • 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.

  • I feel depressed now.

  • 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

  • owh i'm speechless,, it how mostly gay came from,,

    from their childhood lives, they experienced something that changed thier life..

    and i hope the coach and another coach outside now.. they will die into hell...

    awesome movie and soo tragic...

  • @iamn0tfak3 Good god ! Then, it's THANKS to my dearly brother that i am straight ! Thanks for this fucked up therapy mate.

  • @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.

  • owh i'm speechless,, it how mostly gay came from,,

    from their childhood lives, they experienced something that changed thier life..

    and i hope the coach and another coach outside now.. they will die into hell...

    awesome movie and soo tragic...

  • @iamn0tfak3 Wait you think this shows being gay is made from childhood?

  • amazing movie, completely tragic.

  • 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.

  • This film is intense. Probably stay with me for quite a while.

  • I actually cried......I feel so sorry for them

    

  • This is so sad that coach took these kids innocence I hope the coach dies in hell

  • 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???

  • Everything about this is so heartbreaking.

  • poor thing... good ending, they'll be better now :) amazingly touching and beautiful, thank you so much for this, made my night

  • And here comes the tears.

  • This movie... Man, fuckin' i love it so much, I'm crying. 

  • stunning.

  • 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.

  • @ballershanelle Yeah, because jail and therapy solves everything.

  • Such a beautiful movie.

  • that was...messed up

    

  • 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:

  • Deeply touching. It happens everyday of every second across this country. I've seen what the trauma can lead to firsthand. It's sad.

  • Beautiful.

  • This movie was disgusting but amazing! Joe's performance was beyond this world. Thanks for the upload! (:

    Does anyone else think 8-year-old Niel looks like supermac18?

  • neil is the coolest character ever. amazing acting. gosh. i love youtube

  • my friend recommended this movie to me cuz of what i went through when i was age 4 to15. i can really relate to the characters and understand them.

  • I haven't seen this since I was 14. I randomly remembered this scene, and decided to look it up. Such a great movie, thanks for uploading it. :)

  • 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!

  • que fuerte esa weaaa que cruda esa pelicula para un tema asi :/

  • The ending is the best scene. I really loved their acting! The song in the end was a plus. Beautiful

  • 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?

  • I cried :-(

  • Dude.... Neil is like... me. O.o

  • @epicmovie8 How so? 

  • @DellariaB I was doing the same crap he did only a year ago.

  • @epicmovie8 hmmm....fair enough. What caused you to stop? If you don't mind me asking :]

  • So sad....felt so bad for both of them. Thanks for posting!

  • Best freaking movie ever.

  • 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.

  • wow...i don't know what else to say.

  • 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.

  • This was so sad!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • wow... just wow...

    I'm thirteen, and that was so intense. they should of made a sequel. cause i think it was toatally incomplete at the end...

  • I love how shoegaze seems to be the only genre of music that exists in this 'verse. Fantastic soundtrack.

    That aside, thank you very much for posting this movie in its entirety. It was a very intense and makes me want to read the novel it's based on.

  • @iMurderedBieber

    ...ironic^

  • Good and Tragic movie..

  • So sad. I love this movie even though it is a little disturbing.

  • 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.

  • **sob** That... oh, God, that's heartbreaking. So, so terribly heartbreaking.

  • This movie touched me in a special place ... not that place though. In my heart!

  • I'm german and I didn't understand every single word, but this movie really touched me! It's incledible thanks so much for uploading it!

  • @Anglolund me'...i can relate

  • what a beautiful, heart-wrenching, tragic movie... i love it with all my heart <3

  • Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

  • Oh gosh.. this movie really knows how to mess with your feelings.

  • Comment removed

  • wow....

    

  • I'm crying like a baby. :(

  • 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.

  • How's that an ending!! Oh my gosh!! That was so sad!!!

  • the movie was good but that was fucked up. now im gonna be pissed off the whole day -___-

  • i was fine until the 2 angels bit....cue about 10 minutes of crying

  • this made me cry
