Your unruly, my cowardice

"I want to go back in time and erase it all, but I can't."
"I want to escape from this world, all the pain and suffering. I pray to God, let us fly to the sky to two shining angels until No."

"At that time, I saw this ceiling, and every time I saw it, I felt dizzy." It was a kind of demonic chaos.

Dreams, fantasies, delusions, fears, all this is intertwined. There are many scenes in the film that magically reproduce the power of this fear. For a moment, you will feel the dislocation, fatigue, and danger of the world, and for a moment, you will feel that it is love, because of danger or on the verge of some kind of cold and chilling situation, There is suffocating love there.

There has never been a movie that sums it all up so perfectly. That feeling is like taking a late hot shower in winter, walking out of the bathroom, and being surrounded by the cold. You long to be embraced by the world, but you are really afraid.

Therefore, this movie is better than boys not crying, better than the unruly sky, better than all extreme confessions.

Love that Christmas Eve, the "calm holy night," our tumult, our impetuousness, our frenzy, which can only end on that cold night. It is icy and snowy outside, and a little candle in the house disperses the cold, even if you are alone, even if you are about to be framed by the wicked, even if a knife is about to be inserted into your body... At that moment, you are safe and you can smile sweetly into dreamland.

I didn't have such a bumpy childhood, but I admit that the magical temperament of the film divided me into two people. I like that wild and uninhibited beautiful boy, his clear face and stubborn smile, wild smile, psychedelic The eyes make me feel uneasy, but there is an urge to cast. At least, on a cold night, I'll love this thin shoulder.

Like me, he can't let go of each other's demonic nature. Although everyone outside the window sings Christmas songs for me, he can sleep peacefully and sweetly in my arms all night. The next day, he still has to leave my warmth and throw himself in the unknown. The world he wants, even if it is dark or cold or unpredictable, he will not turn back, because he cannot dispel each other's demons.

Sometimes I am like another boy, submissive, so meticulous and numb, unable to escape and free and easy, twitching and suffering in my heart.

The two divisions of him are actually one. Because no matter whether you choose to be calm or unbridled, life is not a peaceful lake, and she always hides dangers. You can't expect nothing to happen to her, and just like that, you have to go into another cold, misty day with tears in your eyes.

The end of the film is equally tragic, with a sense of tragic ritual, as they burrow into that room and the final scene begins. He said: "I am the love of his life, although he has passed countless other boys."

This is a meaningful sentence. I think - I am the most loved person in his life, this sentence is problematic, it is a very subjective assumption. All I can say is that he was the most influential person in my life.

In a rotten relationship, they need some kind of strong emotion to turn rottenness into magic. The poison he planted in you may take a lifetime to fade away. I know that love is a splendid moment. After you stop loving, you need to repay more, and you need to use sinking and decay to replace the short-lived splendor.

the price of love. This is the price of love.

Mysterious Skin quotes

  • [first lines]

    Brian: [narration voice-over] The summer I was 8 years old, five hours disappeared from my life. Five hours. Lost. Gone without a trace.

    Brian: [narration voice-over] Last thing I remember I was sitting on the bench at my Little League game. It started to rain. What happened after that remains a pitch black void.

  • [last lines]

    Neil: [narration voice-over] And as we sat there listening to the carolers, I wanted to tell Brian it was over now and everything would be okay. But that was a lie, plus, I couldn't speak anyway. I wish there was some way for us to go back and undo the past. But there wasn't. There was nothing we could do. So I just stayed silent and trying to telepathically communicate how sorry I was about what had happened. And I thought of all the grief and sadness and fucked up suffering in the world, and it made me want to escape. I wished with all my heart that we could just leave this world behind. Rise like two angels in the night and magically... disappear.
