An impressive movie that made me tear again... "Prayers for Bobby(2009)". This movie base on the true story of Bobby with his family, lover and friends. Bobby is a homosexual teenager who has a dream of being a sucessful writer and live in a traditional American family. He pretended himself as a 'normal' guy in front of his family and have girlfriends before. Unfortunately, his mother, Mary totally cant accepted her son after she know the truth. She think that God can heal her son from the 'sick'. Finally, Bobby jump from the bridge to kill himself for the proof to his mum. After Bobby death, Mary keep found out the truth of Bible about the homosexuality.... and last, Mary changed her mind and became the major force in the fighting of human right. Her tireless work protecting the rights of gay and lesbian youth has established her to sucess. I felt touch when Mary said the words to all via the tv. The words.... Homosexuality is a sin; Homosexuals is doom to terminated in hell; if they want to change they could be heal of the evil ways; if they could turn away from temptation they could be normal again; if only they could try and try harder if it dosent work. Its all the things that I said to my son, Bobby when I found out that he was gay. When he tell me he is homesexual, my world fell hurt. I did every things I could to kill him of his sickness. Eight months ago, my son jump off from bridge and killed himself. I deeply regretted my life dosent know about gay and lesbian people. I see that every things that I was talk and told are all insularity and dehumanity's slander. If I have investicated beyond what I was told; if I just listen to my son when he pull his heart to me, I would not standing here with you feel with regret. I belive the God is please with Bobby kindness and loving spirit; in god eyes, kindness and love is what all about. I didnt know that each time I rebuke to gay people; each time I referred Bobby was sick and danger to our children, his self-esteem and life-importance was being destroyed; his spirit broke with unrepaired. It was not god wills that Bobby find the free way pass to jump off and bumpped by a eighteen tires truck which killed him instantly. Bobby death was directly on his parent's innocent and fear of word gay. He want to be a write. His hopes and dreams should not taken from him but it were. There are children like Bobby sitting in your hall. They are listening when you echo Amen and that was soon silent their prays... They pray to God for understanding, acceptance and for your love.... but your hates, fears and emptiness of the word gay was silent those prays...so, BEFORE YOU ECHO AMEN IN YOUR HOME OR PLACE OF WORSHIP, THINK AND REMEMBER. A CHILD IS LISTENING.
Mary:Please dont give up hopes all on life or yourself, we all are speacial and promise me to keep trying.
Bobby: I write this because one day, many years from now I could be go back and remember what my life is look like and the other reason I write this, as so long as I die, you do have a chance to read of mine, relize the young person that I look like.
All the words above from the middle of this blog is wrote while listening the dialogue in the movie. It was a bit difficult because no english subtitle provided... but I keep trying because I promise you Mary... hah.
