CinemaNicole Kidman’s film that she herself claims is underrated

Nicole Kidman He began his artistic career in the 1980s and since then, he has participated in several acclaimed films. Days of Thunder (1990), A Distant Dream (1992), A Dream Without Limits (1995), Batman Forever (1995), Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and The Hours (2002) are part of a list that, depending on the actress’s opinion, should also include a title that is not so well remembered.

It is about Boy Erased: A Nullified Truth (2018). Based on the book of the same name by Garrad Conleythe plot portrays the son of a religious couple who reveals his homosexuality to his parents and is forced to undergo controversial “conversion therapy”, a practice used to try to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

In an interview with the American version of the magazine L’Officiel, Kidman declared that he considered the film underestimated by the media and the public. For the actress, the work should be more valued because of the themes covered.

She states:

It was a small film, but for me, an important film. Did he get all the glory he deserved? No, but it definitely shone a light (on the dangers of conversion therapy). A lot of people have reached out to me and said, ‘Thank you, you helped my family by making this film’.”

Nicole Kidman’s deep connection to the role

Still during the interview, Nicole Kidman stated that he felt an important connection with his role in the film — no matter how controversial it was. The actress said:

There are some roles where I say, ‘It was so difficult, but his adventure was extraordinary.’ It’s stored in my mind in a way that I can remember and dream about it, that it was in that place and that was me.”

The actress also guaranteed to connect with her roles since she was little. She adds:

I feel things really deeply. My mother always told me while she was raising me that she was raising a highly sensitive child. Part of my life’s path was learning not to be so empathetic with people to the point of destroying or sabotaging myself, because I can feel myself in other people’s skin and minds in a very strange way. It’s like an attraction. It can even be scary sometimes.”
