(Short)Movie-rec: "TOUCH"

Jun 08, 2010 20:27

"Touch" is of the severe tissue-usage!variety. (For wiping tears and not porny fluids.)
This short film made me cry like crazy yesterday. Its slow dreamy narrative along with the golden scenery is so painful; treating with the dark subject of an abducted and abused boy and its effects when he is confronted with the world and society once again.

the way pain and humiliation has substituted all his understanding of love and tender gestures. The way he "loves" his capturer, longing back to the dark room, feeling so estranged from the outer world, finding no comfort in it.

Yes. THIS is the worst of it all. I honestly think doing THIS to another (helpless and vulnerable) human being is worse than murder.

what does it mean to him to be "saved", because he certainly doesn´t find his way through the context of a normal world..

Exactly. It's almost like taking someone out of medieval times and transporting them into the 21st century so that they wouldn't die of the black plague or something. Would that person feel "saved", or would they think they were already in hell?... LOL

I doubt that the "evil ones" rarely come to grip with the true consequences of their crimes

They must be severely damaged themselves, lacking the capacity for compassion or remorse - how else could they do it?... What I really want to know, though, is how the damage actually starts - are some people simply born "not quite human", or does it always begin with childhood abuse? But then, why did the ORIGINAL abuser (countless generations back, no doubt) do what they did? If there was a BEGINNING to the vicious circle, then there must also be an end. Or am I trying to simplify the unexplainable?... *sigh*

I´ve dreaded to check the pains for quite some time just for the stupid reason of fear that it could be something serious.

Oh, I know. I'm like that too. It runs in the family. We hate doctors and try to avoid them as much as we can.;) But sometimes it's better to KNOW - even if it's something bad - than to constantly keep thinking, OMG WTF is wrong with me??? So I'm glad you are taking that step. *hugs you tight for support*

And, you know... it COULD be just exhaustion or stress-related, or psychosomatic in some way. Take that from a person who thought she had a brain tumor or something - until she did some psychological tests and was told she simply needed therapy. *nods*
