Mysterious Skin

A truly twisted and bizarre movie! It was one of those where I would have never pictured the actors doing. Basically it's about a boy who was involved in sexual intercourse at a very young age... and with another man...

From then... he's become a homosexual and performs sexual favours for money. But during his childhood years, he also performed acts if indiscretion to fellow friend to shut him up from placing fireworks in his mouth and launching them. Very twisted. The scenes are somewhat graphic, not revealing, but graphic enough to make you squirm.

But when both kids grow up, their minds are so messed up that they see things in a different light. They treat things as if it were normal to be doing these sorts of things. Very... interesting yet disturbing movie.

I would have never pictured Joseph Gordon-Levitt to play this sort of role. Elisabeth Shue played the mother who wasn't really always there... And then there's Michelle Trachtenberg who had a small role in the film. The girl who was pretty much the girl next door who tried to help Joseph's character out of his ways.

If you're up for getting seriously warped... watch this film...
