Obsession reminds me of how men will do the absolute most and do selfish things just to make u theirs and dispose of u when it’s not convenient for them anymore and then act like ur the crazy one the whole time
@DerrickEvans4WV my mom had all her college degrees and in social work making less than 40k a year with other jobs on the side. without food stamps we literally would’ve starved bruh
@Mamiwatar He loves Nikki, Nikki doesn’t love him, but Wish Nikki loved him the most in the world, but he doesn’t love her. That’s really, really sad scene.
Reminds me a bit of the Butterfly Effect, where they couldn’t be together.
This is different, but still somehow reminds of that.
It’s funny how “Obsession” sparked conversations around women being taken advantage of, and now a woman who worked on the movie is being told to shut up for feeling exploited by the studio system profiting off of work she did (because it’s industry standard to exploit).
People telling the art director from Obsession “too bad, that’s what you signed up for” instead of collectively encouraging that once small budget films reach a certain number all cast and crew receive a bonus, is why we’ll never be free.
There’s a trope called “save the cat” which story tellers use to make audiences root for a character. Have them preform a heroic act. In Obsession they did the literal inversion of this trope. They told you to not root for him from the start.
I rarely hear people talk about but I absolutely love the scene in Obsession where Nikki is taking a shower and Bear is telling her about the boys night. The tension in that scene is so intense and the acting is amazing from Michael and Inde truly a perfect scene imo
if im not delusional its a very cool detail to have him crying over nikki not wanting him instead of the dead cat… with the obsession title card underneath him
Girl there is no happy ending. Nikki either goes to jail or ends up in a psych ward for the rest of her life. Thats the extra reminder of the horrors of a man’s obsession with you, the consequences you suffer because of his actions

i need everyone to understand that bear was not trying to throw up the pills because of the “final wish”. he was doing this before wish!bear was conjured, this in itself disrupted his current train of thought/actions to immediately “get to work” aka wish
@LeanandCuisine@CaptainDedpool he’s the reason for possessed nikki’s existence and she knows her creator, worships him like a god just like he intended.
