Misery
I feel like I wasn't watching a movie,I was being held hostage with Paul,Annie doesn't hate him,she LOVES him,capital L and that's the real horror.she saves his life,feeds him,tucks him it,then ruins him because the story disappointed her,because HE disappointed her.
Every mood shift is a warning sign,tender=behave,cheerful=fantasy intact,calm=you're already dead,that isn't random madness, this is rules,rituals, ownership, you exist correctly or you suffer ,and the worst part?she KNOWS she's wrong and doesn't care,she chooses it,because control feels better than change.
Kathy bates smiling should be illegal, every "darling" feels like a countdown, I wasn't scared when she yelled,I was scared when she was nice.
One room ,one bed,one woman deciding if you deserve to live today,romance but make it nightmare,the movie ruins the idea that love is automatically good,sometimes love just wants to own you,sometimes love wants you quiet,grateful,still.
I hated it I loved it I need a shower
NEVER let anyone love me like this
EVER
