I remember when I first watched this movie you'd hear Buddy brining up the blue diamond, but had no idea what it was. The moment I saw that tattoo I knew what the blue diamond was. :'( Poor Buddy and his stupid mother failed him so bad, by allowing him to be hurt by his monster father.
We are of course assuming that the whole thing is not just a figment of Buddy Cole's distorted imagination.. Not trying to be insensitive or anything... But we do realize that he's not exactly playing with a full deck
My wife is a victim of child sexual abuse. When Buddy cries “You ruined me!!!” It struck such a harsh cord. Some people don’t understand that when it happens it destroys various pathways and opportunities. It strikes down potential and ambition. It crushes confidence and joy. Essentially it erases the elements a person needs to thrive and live in society. It’s so awful to think about the “could have been”. It just rings so haunting and sad. My wife is very strong and she’s let go of the past. She’s the love of my life and an incredible partner and mother. Some children just don’t have that strength. They become lost in the fog of the world.
I love this movie so much! It really scared me as a kid when I watched it. I was 11 first time saw it but I was so impressed by Giovanni Ribisi. He is so talented. His character made so sad. So much pain. I wish there were more movies like that 🖤
Saw this in 10 years ago, and OMG .can't describe my feelings that time !! I was crying and always had this idea in my mind ' fathers can hurt their own childs ' I don't trust them any more .
I want to see a music video about Buddy Cole with the song "let you down" (NF) or "Let me down slowly" ( Alec Benjamin) Is there someone who could do that? (Sorry for my English, I am from Germany)
Just briliant acting from Giovanni Ribisi!..
He also played Daniel from the other sister
Yes, way too convincing. Made me cry.
Me too

I didn't see the tattoo. So I didn't know the correlation. Thanks for explaining.
Giovanni Ribisi such a great actor

"A chikd will birn the village to feel its warmth" really applies here
God he should have gotten an Oscar for this role.

What's that feeling called when you get shivers and goosebumps seeing this?
His interpretation breaks my heart.
Totally understand that rage.
He is good. I mean the acting
He's underrated for sure.. he was also the medic in saving private Ryan and played a handicap guy in a movie called the other sister
Buddy was the best of them all in that town
Buddy is the black sheep. Just the one who didn't make it out
Kin😢
The most stomach-churning scene of the film.
Buddy did the right thing
