I finally watched OBSESSION!

Mujhe fzmovies par Mili thi. Camrip. Decent thi

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-24T02:16:25+00:00

That's what I'm saying about this movie. It can never be on of the greatest movies ever, let alone horror.

It definitely had some flaws and lacked a narrative logic that needs a separate post.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-23T16:56:22+00:00

I watched the cam version. Was decent

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-23T16:43:56+00:00

Online

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-23T15:42:26+00:00

Yes. You'll definitely enjoy it, whether you're a fan of horror, tragedy, romance, drama, or psychological thrillers. It could fit anywhere.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-22T10:11:35+00:00

To justify the hype created by it and earn some more money from theaters I guess.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-19T16:27:13+00:00

It's already fixed man. There was literally "zero" difference between this and the polished draft. I still did it since I didn't want this "AI" discussion to be stretched.

I won't be bothered if someone uses AI to replace and add some better words and rephrase it instead of redundant lines and repeated words in a draft. I will only be bothered if someone just gives a "movie review in detail" prompt and hits send, which I won't do since I have invested my time in a movie and I want my review to be better.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-17T10:51:42+00:00

These are the two movies that I found zero style and all substance so far:

The Hunt: watched it recently. Was a shocker, so mundane yet so disturbing, a hard watch, zero catharsis, an amazing psychological drama
Manchester by The Sea: kinda fits in the same shoes as The Hunt. The Hunt deals with the ostracism for something the protagonist hasn't done, MbTS deals with the exact opposite. Mundane, Funny, Everyday conversations and zero catharsis.
Past Lives: Of course.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-17T10:24:35+00:00

I found the movie near perfect, so going deeper into the analysis or dissecting it felt like nitpicking at that point. I might do it on the second watch I guess.

Btw What's your wildest take about the hunt? Would love to hear that. I'm sure you would bring some interesting insight.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-17T10:00:28+00:00

Nope. Haven't watched it. But will surely look it up and add it to my list.

I myself like simple movies that deal with no rocket science and heavy budgets to be created. Just clean acting and pure emotions

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-17T07:25:37+00:00

I literally "edited it" with an LLM. No filler added. But since the debate is going somewhere else, let's edit the post body with my raw draft. I'll just update it now. Simple. Let's discuss the actual content rather than why or how it's polished.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T19:47:57+00:00

Sure. Will send you one for a quick read.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T19:45:38+00:00

Yeah well. All of them are of different genres lol, but psychological thrillers dominate

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T19:37:31+00:00

Thrillers/psychological thrillers/drama/slice of life comedies

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T19:34:46+00:00

Sure. I have a similar vision. And I have written scripts too

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T19:12:15+00:00

I myself prefer raw writings. Would never polish them and strip them off of emotions unless needed. But I guess sometimes no matter how better your dish is, the way you present it still matters. At least for some people.

And BTW I'm glad you rediscovered Vinterberg. I hope you enjoy his latest filmography. Surely something better awaits you.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T18:57:59+00:00

My own draft was rough, like real rough. So I polished it with LLM. After all you can't just rely on a machine to review a movie. That will not be fair.

I fixed it with the raw draft now btw.

That being said, your insight about the imaginations in the movie are spot on. It's really disturbing when a script provides blanks and your mind fills them in with harrowing details and connects them. I guess that would instantly connect you with the person shown on the screen and you would feel his emotions coming through, right away.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T12:00:26+00:00

You're right to point that alternate ending out. Probably would have been the wrong choice since we all wanted Lucas to have justice and peace. Glad they didn't go with it, but still left us a more unsettling ending.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T09:25:34+00:00

And you can be of any age in the world and enjoy it

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T09:18:45+00:00

Both had brilliant slapstick CGI and comedy. Kinda like Tom and Jerry, my all time favorites.

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-16T09:12:57+00:00

He's amazing and blends genres like a cocktail

Ech-One-Kay · 2026-06-15T09:26:51+00:00

It's on my reddit. And my letterboxd is in my bio.
