@ThaGodThanos@tothewick Part of these "good guys" irl is that they communicate one priority 24/7 : "I don't want any form of conflict or confrontation!" That's why ppl end up not talking to them about real or deep stuff.
i got outed as trans to my grandmother and her response was “oh well that makes sense, your father used to have sex with men for heroin so it runs in your genes”
@PN92536 I give you a spoiler... the cat was his first victim and did not die by accident. He also did not bury it... he kept it in the fridge...to later preserve the cats bones and sculp.
@Keegan59992745 Same imagine if we could make a deal to end our lives early and then reincarnate in a different timeline that’s completely random. Whether it’s 5 to 500 years from now. And live the rest of our lifespan in that society.
@thefashionhippy Already watched it a second night in a row. Today will write a full blown movie essay about it to get all my thoughts out. The amount of filmmaker craft going into this is amazing
@johnnyslawrence This. I personally take her story as confirmation that she didn't have feelings for him. She saw him as a brother and the wish essentially had to work with what it had, so it twisted Nikki's brotherly feelings for Bear into something incestuous in order to make it romantic
"It was an incessant and never-ending desire to be with someone at whatever cost. Someone good looking, really nice looking. It just filled my thoughts all day long."
@shakesofpear The movie was horror to every woman who watched it - as thats close to home in 2026 encounter man. And it gets worse the higher they d score the woman's attractiveness. It being obvious and predictable is by full choice so you can focus on the underlying lesson.
OBSESSION was so disturbing and uncomfortable because the casual selfishness of a man is a terrifying thing. even a man you trust, even a man you think is your friend. you have no idea what autonomy they would steal from you if given the chance and that’s horrifying
Spoilers -
Obsession is ultimately a film about how ordinary men can commit extraordinary violence while genuinely believing they're the victims. How a "nice guy" can wish someone into a cage and then slowly rationalize why he shouldn't let them out. How the distance between fantasy and reality can cost lives.

One of the wildest theories from Obsession:
Nikki isn't just obsessed with Bear... she IS Bear's dead cat.
Think about it:-
• She hides in corners and watches him sleep.
• The way she moves feels almost cat-like.
• She waits by the door for him all day.
• Her glowing eyes in the silhouette scene mirror a cat's eyes at night.
• She literally brings dead things to him, just like cats bring "gifts" to their owners.
The theory says that when Bear made his wish at the One-Wish Willow "I wish he loved me more than anyone in the world" his dead cat's spirit was nearby and entered Nikki.
After all, who loved Bear more than anyone? His cat.
Rewatch the movie with that idea in mind, and Nikki starts feeling less like a person... and more like a devoted pet that became something much darker.
