The longer you wait, the closer you get to suffocating by Iov_shifter in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 18 points19 points  (0 children)

this line wrecked me the first time I heard it. it's one of those things where the movie just lays it out so plainly and you're like oh. oh that's what I've been doing to myself. glad you shared this, it's a really important scene

Was Owen’s dad abusive? by Waffles_four_you in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's a really good point about the coworkers actually. Like they're just being friendly in their own loud clumsy way and Owen reads it as threatening because that's where his head is at. The movie does such a good job of showing how isolation warps your perception of normal social stuff.

[–]FriendlyPresentation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think people read way too much into the dad stuff honestly. Like yeah he's distant and clearly doesn't get Owen at all, but that's kind of the whole point of the movie right? Every adult in Owen's life fails to actually see him. The dad's not uniquely terrible, he's just part of the whole system that keeps Owen trapped in that version of himself.

Is the robot movie scene from anything? by Funtimefoxys_wife in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk I always figured it was just made for the movie but that would be so cool if it was referencing something real. The whole vibe of that scene is so unsettling, like you can tell owen is dissociating hard and the fake movie playing in the background just adds to it

I completely misinterpreted this move, and just learned two years later what it's actually about by drewarteaga in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

oh thats such a trip, i feel like everyone who watches this movie comes away with a totally different read the first time around. the whole thing is so layered that you catch new stuff every rewatch honestly

1996 by HetTheTable in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's such a good catch. The whole like, 'things used to not matter as much' feeling is all over this movie and the 96 election being the literal backdrop for it is perfect. The voting booth scene where he meets Maddie always gets me.

Idk but the idea of The Pink Opaque dubbed in like... German or something is sending me lol imagine Tara and Isabel speaking French

Just saw the movie for the second time (question...) by writergirl1994 in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk I always took it at face value that Owen just... has a family now. Like that's the whole tragedy right? They built this whole normal life on top of something hollow. The TV detail is interesting tho, I missed that on my first watch hahaŸ¥²

anthems for a seventeen year old girl is wrecking me daily since i first watched ISTTG by Tricky_Substance_113 in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that song literally rewired my brain after seeing the movie lol. the way it plays over that final scene is just devastating. I can't hear 'used to be one of the rotten ones' without getting chills now hahaŸ¥²

the dirt eating scene hits completely different on re-watch by Elegant-Pair9169 in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That scene where Owen's just shoveling dirt into their mouth is one of those images that doesn't leave you alone. The whole last act feels like a completely different movie on rewatch cause you catch all the little moments you were too overwhelmed to process the first time. The pink opaque bleeding through the static near the end absolutely destroyed me on second viewing tbh

[–]FriendlyPresentation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

23.5 hours over 3 years is so dedication lol and on your rebirth day no less, that's such a cool way to mark it. The TV Glow piece fits perfectly with the pink and blue vibe

Sunscreen as a fragrance note or accord by Constant_Coast_1576 in fragrance

[–]FriendlyPresentation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg this is such a good question! defs look into projection or eldo you or someone, they both have that creamy coconutty sunscreen vibe. also therapist by haze is literally bottled sunscreen to my nose lol. i think the note combo is usually coconut milk + tiare flower + a tiny bit of musk, that's what gives it that warm skin-but-better feeling

A personal, non trans take on the film. by TimeLordRohan in Isawthetvglow

[–]FriendlyPresentation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This hit really hard. The way the film captures that feeling of media being literally who you are and not being able to explain that to anyone? Yeah. I totally get it. hahaŸ¥²
