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.

I do not cry at movies, and this film made me cry THREE TIMES before it was over.
SPOILERS BELOW- When Neil gives a back rub at the request of his AIDS-infected john"I just need to be touched," he explains. There's just so mach happening in this scene: the palpable loneliness of the john, Neil's weary, grudging recognition of the dangers of hustling, the need for connection that hovers over both of them. Very powerful.
- When Brian confronts his Dad and he's screaming "What happened to me?!" it felt like a decade of hurt, confusion and anger being let out at that very moment. It got to me.
- Neil tells Brian how he got the bloody nose. There's a shot of the young Brian's face, as he's getting dressed by the coach, after the molestation happened. Neil tells him "You look like you had been erasedempty inside." Just the look on his face caused me to burst in to tears.

I absolutely loved Mysterious Skin. After watching the ending, i felt as if I was punched right in the soul. The acting by Corbet and JGL was so incredible, and the way the story was carried out just made my jaw drop. If only there was another masterpiece like this to be released, another film that really moves me so much.
Plus, Neil's powerful narrative speech at the end really got to me. Absolutely unforgettable. -

I actually COULDN'T cry at the end.
Im not sure why I think it was probably that I was in shock . . .
Either way I was just waaaayyy beyond tears
A witty saying proves nothing

YesheapsI was so shocked with the events that unfolded as the movie went on. I felt so sorry for both boys..for very different reasons. I sat and cried for ages after this moviemainly because I knew the events in the movie are based on real situations that still occur in today's society and I hated the idea that I can't change that. So yeah, to answer your question, I cried.

No, I didn't cry. I was just relieved that it was over. I'm not saying that it was a bad movie, I'm just saying that it was hard to watch and in my mind, I felt that the characters could now start the healing process. Hopefully.

Healing? You never heal from this, you might find a way to function with it shoved in the back of your mind, but you are never, ever healed from emotional wounds. Just ask anyone whose seen war, your bullet wound will heal, but not the shock of watching your best bud get his head blown off.

I believe you can heal from emotional trauma. Will you ever be the same? Most likely not. Will you ever be completely fixed? Of course not. But you can get better - which is part of the healing process.
And yes I have some emotional scars that I've had to deal with for a long time. They are still there but life can get better. You just have to ask for help. There is still beauty in the world. -

I usually don't cry from watching movies, but I did feel teary-eyed when I first saw this with my sister. It made us both upset since stuff like this still goes on today. I feel really bad for children who goes through such a terrible thing.
