Cine: The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018)

No parece azaroso que en un mismo año hayan visto la luz dos películas cuyo tema principal es la terapia de conversión: “Corazón borrado” (”Boy Erased”) y “The Miseducation of Cameron Post”, titulada en algunos sitios de Latinoamérica como “La mala educación de Cameron Post”.

Basada en la novela homónima de Emily M. Danforth y adaptada y dirigida por Desiree Akhavan, esta agridulce experiencia cinematográfica tiene lugar en 1993, cuando Cameron (Chloë Grace Moretz) es encontrada por su entonces novio en pleno acto sexual... con su amiga Coley (Quinn Shepard). Su tía Ruth (Kerry Butler), con quien vive tras la trágica muerte de sus padres, no tiene mejor idea que llevarla a “God´s Promise”, un lugar regido por el supuestamente ex-gay y Reverendo Rick (John Gallagher Jr) y su hermana Erin (Emily Skeggs). Allí, un grupo de adolescentes es incentivado para que abandone el pecaminoso pensamiento de la homosexualidad. De más está decir que el proceso, aunque aparentemente llevado a cabo con gran sensibilidad y compasión, es un infame lavado psicológico que va minando la autoestima y da un sentido culposo a todo, incluso a cierta música.

Mientras lucha contra sus instintos, como todos allí, Cameron desarrolla gran amistad con algunos de los internos, en especial con Jane (Sasha Lane) y Adam (Forrest Goodluck), quienes representan un escape en un entorno de extrema locura.

Watched The Miseducation of Cameron Post a few days ago and was not disappointed. I'm happy with what they took from the book. Focusing on the last third or so of the book was a good idea in my opinion because they wouldn't have been able to fit everything into one movie without the pacing being off. Cameron's struggle was really well portrayed by Chloe Grace Moretz. If you don't know what this film is about: Taking place in 1993, Cameron lives in a highly religious town and her aunt finds out that she's having 'same sex attractions.' Cameron is sent to God's Promise, a conversation camp to help her on the right path and away from the temptations of evil. -That's not what I think, it's just the way other characters see homosexuality: a sin. It's a heavy movie, as well as the book is. And trigger warning for self-harm. I'm not sure if 'self-harm' is quite the correct way of labeling it, but I'm avoiding spoilers. OH, also super glad they left Cameron and Jane as friends instead of trying to make them a couple or one of them have a crush on the other.

Rottenmeier con perenne sonrisa falsa en forma de psicóloga y su hermano el reverendo Rick, un ex homosexual “curado” (no se lo cree ni él), esta especie de casa de reposo con el rimbombante nombre de “La promesa de Dios” ofrece la liberación de todo tipo de males adolescentes como drogas o exceso de autoplacer mediante terapias de grupo, conciertos musicales de grupos de rock evangelista, karaokes comunitarios y prácticas deportivas adecuadas como la edificante religimnasia, una suerte de aerobic en la que mientras estiramos el muslamen nos explican que nuestro cuerpo es de Dios y es a través de Dios que debemos mantenerlo en forma. https://www.instagram.com/p/BwoXtf6FXTB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nviglp8z65f9
