I really like this movie, especially because it is "easy to watch" even though it's talking about abuse and stuff. For me it showcases how people that got abused can deal with it differently. For Ellie he seems to be very traumatised by this and then, using it, I can say, to continue his life in that cycle of abuse. Even though he's not abusing anyone he's really sexual and stuff. He really is not assuming but trying to do as if it's his choice to do so. Also he's fantasising about what happened to him when he was a child, like when he was abused by the coach and thought that the coach liked him, which is not the case obviously. For the other kid his defence mechanism is the complete opposite of Elli's. He really erased it, like his mind erased all that happened to him, maybe to protect him. Slowly it is coming back to him as glimpses of memories and he is really suffering the moment he finds out what happened to him when he was a child.
Two boys. One can't remember. The other can't forget.
