You know what? I've came to this thread some years after I watched the film (on 2006), and that's the part that always stayed with me (Zeke asking Neil to touch him), for some reason I've forgot some other parts of the film, but this part have always been full of sentiment to me.

I was almost about to stop watching the movie halfway through because it just seemed ludicrous to me, but I'm so glad I watched it until the end. I didn't cry, but I definitely teared up as soon as the carolers came to the door at the end.

I cried without even sobbing, it just kind of forced itself out of my eyes
see, my girlfriend was a victim of child rape (i know none of you know me so I feel safe saying this) and at the end I just kept thinking of her in the boys' position
and sitting on the couch, a visual metaphor for a small world where you could find solace with a world of black around it
so yeah, I cried, and what real man wouldn't? -

I not only cried at the end, I wept uncontrollably. As a victim of child abuse by the hand of my own father I knew it would be hard for me to watch. I did because I love JGL, somehow I find his acting mesmorizing. He always puts everything he has in every character he plays.
When I purchased the DVD on Amazon, they sent me 2 in error. I gave a copy to my 22 year old daughter and she found it to be super disturbing. She also chucked it up to 'my mom and her weird indie movies'. I also gave her a copy of Julien Donkey-Boy which she equates Mysterious Skin to. I really don't see the connection but she claims there is.
Anyways, I thought this movie was wonderfully thought provoking film and a must see.

I didn't, I think I was just more in shock. I found my jaw dropping so many times throughout the film. I felt like I should have cried, but I was just amazed by it.

I remember the first time I watched it, I was just staring at the screen in some sort of depressed trance. It was stuck in my head. I turned on some television sitcom on and I couldn't even pay attention to it. I watched it with my mom and grandma a couple days later (I know, too soon, but they wanted to see it) and after they went to bed, very depressed, I felt like sobbing.

I thought the ending was pretty happyhappy for Araki, anyway. The whole movie was disturbing but knowing the director, I expected it. I even expected even worse than sad- more fed up ending that has nothing to do with the plot. But he surprised me because this ending was unusual of his works. In this movie, he left off neutral- not good, not bad, not ugly. and delivered a lot more room for our imagination between the two boys.
One boy is getting his life back together while the other finally finds the answer he was looking for his whole life. And at the end, they're together no not sad. It's perfect. Well done, Araki! -

Anyone that did not cry at the end of this movie has a black hole where their heart should be. And they have probably already fallen into it and will never escape.
