America's next top model/the mystery behind Mysterious Skin

Tuesday, July 26, 2005


So I watched it last night.

And I tell you, I feel the same rush that I felt from the last two seasons. This time round, my favourite is Naima. So edgy and raw. Love the mohawk, baby. If I don't live in Singapore, I'd probably do some crazy shit with my hair too.
Spent last Saturday with that boy. I wanted to watch Fantastic 4 a.k.a. 'Sial ahh Empat' but Yan wanted to watch a 'smart movie'. I assumed a 'smart movie' is like a Beautiful Mind so ok... We watched Mysterious Skin at CineLeisure. It was probably the smartest film showing right now. Hoho...
I AM COMMANDING ALL OF YOU TO PLEASE CATCH IT.
It's R21 though. It's my first. So kids like Huda, sorry kid, you can't watch this yet.

'The summer I was eight years old, five hours disappeared from my life.'

Based on a novel by Scott Heim's 'Mysterious Skin: A Novel', this story is so surreal you need a strong stomach to swallow the scenes. It's about two boys who were sexually abused by a sick paedophelic bastard-of-a-coach. One turned out to be gay. The other turned out to be a confused dork who thinks that he was abducted by aliens when he was a child. I will not ruin the beauty of this film by telling you. Just watch it. Pretty twisted and sick, this story is. But it made for a good watch, no doubt. The writer Heim, and now the producer, managed to portray child abuse as it is, without being judgemental. The judgment was, ultimately, made by the readers/viewers. Now I just need to get my hands on the book to immerse myself in it.
I was digging Yan's arm the whole time watching it because I got this funky queasy feeling and it wasn't fun at all. Besides a generous helping of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's skinny white ass, the film successfully showcases minute yet vivid images of the many caprices of child abuse. I almost puked at one scene because I really couldn't take it. The bathroom scene. I felt like screaming at the whole world and I wonder how many thousands of kids in the world actually went through all these scarring abuses. Nasty, I tell you. Nasty. 'R21-mature theme', says the poster. Suddenly, I realised that I am not that mature afterall. You really need to be able to differentiate your emotions and what the producers want to get across to you. Me, mature, my ass.I left the cinema feeling awful. I thought about the film while eating, while bathing, before sleeping.
I'm still thinking about it right now...
