i understand now why so many office workers are kpop fans. you really need this type of whimsy in ur life when ure sat down for 8 hours inside a concrete room staring at a google sheet
being desired by a man is horror enough. apalagi lakinya kyk tai. apalagi punya any type of control over u. apalagi controlnya berbentuk supernatural atau tdk fisik dan sulit dimengerti orang lain. ini horror POL sehorror-horrornya horror
What I think why Obsession stands out amongst other film tentang pelet, is that it shows how scary it is to be the victim of pelet, victim dari keegoisan laki-laki, sampe korbannya kehilangan otoritas, kontrol, agency, dan otonomi tubuh sendiri. Like, so fucked up.
god i love how heartbreaking obsession is. it’s truly a metaphor for the 1 out of 3 women who experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime
That’s exactly why Nikki is one of the most tragic characters in the movie. The poem felt like her real self trying to break through, and by the end she’s literally fighting for control of her own body.
Everyone was focused on saving Bear, but Nikki was the one silently losing the hardest battle.
