"Ahora que estoy sentado junto a usted y que hablo con usted me aterra pensar en el futuro, porque el futuro es otra vez la soledad, esta vida rutinaria e inútil. ¿Y ya con qué voy a soñar, cuando he sido tan feliz despierto?"
"Noches blancas", Fiodor Dostoyevski
“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.”
—Anthony Bourdain, American chef, filmmaker, and author, who died on this day in 2018.
One of Obsession’s smartest twists is that the monster isn’t Nikki, it’s Bear. At first, he appears to be the harmless “nice guy” hopelessly in love with his longtime friend. But after being rejected, he uses a One Wish Willow to override Nikki’s free will and make her love him more than anyone else in the world.
What follows isn’t a romance. It’s a supernatural form of abuse. As Nikki’s forced devotion spirals into obsession, violence, and psychological torment, Bear slowly realizes the horrifying consequences of his wish. Yet even when given opportunities to confront what he’s done, he repeatedly prioritizes his own comfort and validation over Nikki’s suffering.
Behind the scenes, director Curry Barker deliberately framed Nikki’s terrifying transformation as a symptom of the wish rather than her true personality. This is most evident in the disturbing sleep-talking scenes, where the real Nikki briefly breaks through and begs Bear for help, reminding viewers that she’s a victim trapped inside the version of herself he created. The film’s greatest horror isn’t the gore or jump scares. It’s watching a seemingly ordinary young man refuse to let go of a fantasy, no matter how many lives it destroys.
just watched ‘Obsession’ and all of the men leaving the theatre are talking about how they never want a girlfriend again like the entire plot of the movie isn’t a guy forcing a relationship + dealing with the consequences of HIS OWN ACTIONS. LIKE???
It is okay to be Jewish.
It is okay to attend your local synagogue.

Franz #Kafka falleció el 3 de junio de 1924 tras una prolongada tuberculosis, aunque la causa última podría haber sido la desnutrición, ya que la enfermedad había dañado su garganta y alimentarse le provocaba un intenso dolor.
Dedicó sus últimos días a editar el relato "Un artista del hambre". Fue enterrado en el nuevo cementerio judío de Praga.
"A veces me siento diferente. Camino como todos los demás, pero por dentro, me siento como un extraño en mi propia vida".
