Nicole Kidman appeared in the audience at this year's Australian Open, and after the scene was exposed, some people said that she was still beautiful after so many years, and some people said that her face was stiff like a dummy.
Nicole Kidman has undoubtedly had a lot of beauty injections, but this has not affected her continued to fight in her acting career in her fifties, and last year, in addition to playing the mother of Aquaman in "Aquaman", she also played the mother of a gay teenager in "The Erased Boy".
Also often discussed with "The Erased Boy" is "Wrong Education", which was released in the same year and has many similarities.
Both have adaptations, one based on memoirs and one based on novels. It's all about American teenagers who have been spotted by their families with homosexual tendencies, one is a first-year boy and the other is a 11th grade girl.
In order to "cure" homosexuality, they are sent to a therapeutic institution that believes in religious therapy, one called "Love in Action" and the other called "God's Promised Land".
The male tutors in the treatment institutions are themselves gay, but one is a deep cabinet, and the other is a mentor after "successful transformation".
The adults in the film all believe that homosexuality is sinful, that same-sex sexual orientation is tempted by sin, and that there is a technical term ssa (same-sex attraction), which betrays God, but there is nothing to hide from God, and God will still help everyone who is broken.
"Wrong Education" won the Grand Jury Prize at last year's Sundance Film Festival.
Lucas Hedges, the male protagonist of "The Erased Boy", was nominated for the Film Emperor at the Golden Globe Awards, and the film also allowed Nicole Kidman to take several nominations for Best Supporting Actress.
But neither film has a name on the Oscar nomination list.
Born in 1996, Lucas Hutches won or was nominated for many awards for best supporting actor for starring in "Manchester by the Sea", and some hit films "Three Billboards", "Miss Bird" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" have participated, although they are all supporting roles, but the resources are really good.
This time provoked the male protagonist outline, Oscar film emperor Russell Crowe and Oscar actress Nicole Kidman played his parents, both to help and pressure, but after watching the film, Lucas was not pressed.
Born in 1997, Chloe Moretz became a teenage star because of the "super killing woman" of the two "Sea Flat King", and has since acted in "Carrie the Witch", "If I Stay", "I Love You, Daddy", etc., and then became fat and was ridiculed and crippled, and Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn is also known to the world.
Last year she came to the Beijing International Film Festival.
Set in the early 2000s, Lucas Hedges plays Jared, who played basketball in high school and had a cheerleader girlfriend, who looks straight, but he and his girlfriend are uncomfortable having sex with their girlfriends.
When he first went to college, he became a roommate with a handsome guy, and Jared was obsessed with the handsome guy but did not overdo it, resulting in the handsome man raping Jared and beating a rake posing as a legal person to report his homosexual behavior to jarred's family.
Devout parents sent Jared to the "Promised Land of God" for reform.
"Wrong Education" is set in the early 90s, and Cameron, played by Chloe Moretz, attends a high school ball, interacts with her boyfriend in various awkward ways, and has a lot of fun with her female partner.
Dancing and dancing, they also sneaked to the parking lot to do drugs and have sex, and while the back seat of the car was drying firewood, they were discovered by their boyfriends.
Cameron's parents died and she was raised by her aunt, who sent her to the "Promised Land of God" for homosexual correction.
Jared in "The Erased Boy" seems to be a promise, his father is a priest, and the influence of religion in their family is very large; the cameran in "Wrong Education" has a lot of personality, just arrived at the camp to say a fuck, and later often had spring dreams.
The same-sex scenes in "The Erased Boy" are very moderate, not even males kissing; in "Wrong Education", the same-sex scenes are shown on a much larger scale, not only female masturbation, female kissing, but also girls showing a little.
"Love in Action" is completely closed, and "God's Promised Land" can go out en masse, but the treatment method is mainly for members to sit around and cut their hearts or meet with their mentors, digging out the deepest privacy, as if facing shame and provoking anger can correct sexual orientation.
Both Jared and Cameron do not perceive any changes in themselves during the treatment, but after witnessing the encounters of other members and their own personal experiences of emotional abuse, they strengthen their identification with themselves, "We are our own God, he is in our hearts."
In "The Erased Boy," the mentor emphasizes that "fake it till you make it." Men can pretend, women are relatively more emotional, so there are so many deep cabinets in this society, for example, atp, there is no active player who dares to disclose sexual orientation, but there are many examples of wta coming out.
In "Wrong Education," a boy who is about to leave the "Promised Land of God" after finishing his treatment is refused to return home by his father, saying that he has not reformed his masculinity. So at a regular sharing session he went crazy and suddenly gave a dramatic, passionate speech, repeatedly shouting "When I am weak, then am i strong", and then he committed suicide in the bathroom — repeatedly cutting his genitals with a razor and spilling bleach on the wound.
Cameron questioned the mentor: You people don't know what you're doing, do you? You're just making things go the way you want them to.
Agencies came to investigate the suicides, and Cameron believes that "God's Promised Land" is a kind of mental abuse and the attribution of boys' suicide by hitting members to make them self-deny and hate themselves.
At the end of the film, Cameron and another man and woman flee the "Promised Land of God" on the pretext of going hiking.
But what is the way forward, the film does not continue.
Coincidentally, there is also a cameran in "The Erased Boy", but he is a tall and fat boy who helps Jared escape from "Love in Action", and later Cameron commits suicide by mental abuse.
Four years after Jared left the treatment program, Jared moves to New York alone to become a writer, jared's mother sets religious back for her son, but Jared and his father still have a deep knot, but the father has also begun to try - read his son's articles and give his cherished pen to his son.
Mother has a very touching saying, I love God, God loves me, I love my son, it's as simple as that; Father also said it well, we all have our own way, but I don't want to lose you. Before parting, Jared told his father that he had invited his mother to New York for Christmas and welcomed his father.
In the end, the father did not go, and the film did not continue shooting.
The subtitles at the end of the film show that the real protagonist reconciles with his parents, lives a happy life for his husband, and promotes the Talk Therapy system for LGBTQ people in the United States.
"The Erased Boy" featured Xavier Dolan, Troyer Shivin ( Poke ) , Joe Alvin , the Theodore Perland and other handsome male stars as the matching , but most of them were only functional characters. Sasha Lane, Forrest Goodleck in "Wrong Education," and even Emily Lee Skeggs has more characters and inner world portrayals.
In general, these two films are not moving enough, but they are very social, compared to our side of the treatment of Internet addiction to send an electric shock, there is a demon like Yang Yongxin, the US empire is still much more humane.
