Obsession
not actually rewatched just need a place to put my thoughts
It’s been a week since my viewing and the film hasn’t left my mind. Literally every free thought I have is about Nikki and or bear. I’ve been watching interviews and listing to the OST a lot. On the drive back from the theaters I told my buddy that I wasn’t sure how much I’d actually think about the movie or if it would stick with me. It has more than stuck with me. I’ve seen movies with similar themes and messaging but they never hit like this did.
It must be because how much more relatable this is to my generation. It’s made me think about it’s world and its characters but most importantly and impressively it’s made me think about how I personally objectify women and how I sometimes like the idea of ppl sometimes more than I like the ppl. It’s by far the most introspective experience I’ve had with a film by far. By my own internal ranking system that has to make this transcendent for me.
You take that then add an amazing score and visual design and then multiply it with an all time performance you get something truly awe inspiring. I’m a schizo so the horror has stuck with me maybe a little too much but it’s great. I fell like a loser meat riding it so hard, but there is genuinely nothing I would change. The only thing that sucks about this film is how early in the year it was released in theaters. Knowing that we probably aren’t going to get a better horror this year kinda sucks.
