Obsession

I want to start by saying that this movie shows how sexual violence and abuse can be perfectly hidden in front of other people, how it can exist even without being shown at all. In fact this movie was a perfect example of how deranged some men’s brains can be when they’re OBSESSED with someone or something. At first glance Bear seems to be an innocent pal that only wishes for love and care by the woman he “loves”, but as soon as the movie goes on we can see how this innocent wish turns out to be a total nightmare for a woman that is stripped of her own life but especially her mind and body, we witness all types of abuse every time we see Nikii and Bear interact with each other, for example we have a perfect case of sexual abuse in the scene where they have sex, where to Bear he’s finally achieving a goal, a “dream” of a lifetime, while instead the actual Nikki (which is aware of what’s happening to her as it’s implied many times during the movie) can’t do anything about and probably wouldn’t do it or agree to it at all. And just like that as soon as Bear realizes what “his” beloved Nikki has just become he want’s to run away or change everything again, but the worst part, the one that makes us understand that the one committing the “horrific” acts in this horror movie it’s Bear and not the poor “creepy” and uncanny Nikki, it’s when Bear starts to refer to himself as the victim of all, as if HE didn’t cast this curse on the poor girl and change everyone’s life, oh poor Bear. Loved the hidden gems in the movie though. Inde Navarette reminds me of my ex , but still loved the movie.
