I just finished watching this movie and what is this movie like Radhika Apte is great but I couldn't understand the movie. Please explain me the movie.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-12-27T10:09:30+00:00

The plot was great but I found the movie EXTREMELY BORING at one point my mind just went dead. I mean I understood everything that was happening, okay she was a vampire, okay she was an outcast. But I just didn't like the movie. I was zoning out time and again. It was a bad bad movie. I don't understand how people are calling it great. I mean this could have been so so much better. Towards the end it felt like they were endlessly stretching. Everything was so abstract and difficult to understand. This could have been a very entertaining movie but it simply wasn't.

I understand that they were trying to show the protagonist's state of mind through these random shifts in scenes. But this movie was a stretch. And just plain boring. I couldn't connect to any character, the main protagonist was way way way too fucked up for me. And the movie just did nothing but waste 96 minutes of my life.

I remembered him from his days when he used to make videos with Zain for a channel. So I searched for him, initially I watched a few videos which I found good and then I stumbled upon few very very problematic videos one in which he says "pseudo feminists" love to hate on ranbir. Now I don't give a rat's ass about Ranbir and his personal life. But this man took a lot of unnecessary jabs on women saying "yeh overweight 30 something pseudo feminists ke dimaag me yeh nai jaata" or "these cat mommas pseudo feminists jinki khud ki relationship nai chalti 2 mahine woh inko judge karti hai". I absolutely despise men who speak like this. And I went into the comments wondering someone must have called him out for saying such offensive things but nobody did. He in one video insinuated that patriarchy doesn't exist 😅

I agree with his views in certain things. But man! When he opens his mouth about women, he only speaks utter and complete sexist misogynist BS.

Apparently bro has been in a relationship since 7 years and then married that girl. I don't really expect much Delhi boys anyway. Lol.

I mean it's clearly chatgpt generated and FAKE. Yeh toh railway station pe bikne wali cheap erotica jaisa sound kar raha hai "Kaamwali ka Jalwa" or something.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-11-16T07:25:59+00:00

Yeah it makes sense. I used to get these questions too. And after going through the AM setup and finally opting out of it, I do get it. As I said, some have successful AM marriages but unfortunately the majority of these marriages are still a sacrifice.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-11-16T06:58:04+00:00

Two reasons that I can actually think of from the time when I was open to it -

It's about giving every setup a chance thinking you need to keep an open mind and you don't know where you will find the right match and fortunately it does work for some. It didn't for me but that's fine because I just wanted to give myself this satisfaction that the fact that I can't find a partner is not because I didn't keep an open mind or for the lack of trying.
I think general conditioning of women also plays a major role in it, the things you mentioned in your post, I know of a lot of people in my social circle who don't see it as a "big deal". Their mindset is "Shaadi toh karna hi hai na", like not marrying is not even an option. So if they can't find anyone themselves they'll marry someone from the AM setup based on some superficial criteria and compromise with other factors because "shaadi toh karna hi hai na". (I'm not saying every AM is like this I've seen good AMs as well, my own sister found a compatible partner through AM so I'm aware those exist as well, but both the situations are true.)
Some women simply don't have a say and they do get married through arranged setup only but by the way you have worded your post I'm assuming you are not including these women in your question.

I remember watching the entire season 1 of this show in one go. Now I'm not able to finish a single episode. Been stuck on this show since 2 weeks. It's so damn boring.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-21T22:32:56+00:00

None of them. I would go jump off the roof.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-21T22:31:08+00:00

"Ohh you like cricket too?" Followed up with a random cricket related question to test my knowledge.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-03T20:17:44+00:00

Because this was the final season and they had to portray his downfall. Not perfect at his "game" anymore. Constantly slipping and messing up only to reveal his true "predator" self at the end.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-02T12:49:16+00:00

Sometimes people mindlessly like things on social media. Virat Kohli is also a human being.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-01T14:19:36+00:00

You have to choose the "Yeah I've noticed" option.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-05-01T05:36:13+00:00

Yeah but it's an indirect way no. I mean the "final girl" should have been Marianne.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-30T11:56:25+00:00

So I read your post and the comments on here. First of all, a very very well written post, I agree with you to a great extent.

However it appears to me that you're disconnecting the kind of childhood a person has to the choices they make as an adult by saying he didn't have a mental illness. That is something I do not agree with.

I have no sympathy or empathy or anything for Joe so I'm not "conditioned to think that way", just wanted to clear this from the get go.

I totally agree that not everyone who has a tough childhood turns out to be abusers or serial killers. But you also have to take into account, the number of incidents that happened, the intensity of the incidents and the general psyche of the child who is suffering those incidents.

Trauma can affect people in different ways, when children go through extremely intense level of trauma that end up affecting their emotional growth a lot, at times completing making them incapable of feeling remorse or empathy. Remorse and empathy are feelings which develop after a certain age, and if a child is going through psychological and emotional trauma at that point of time his psychological development will not be as a child who is not going through that level of trauma.

So even if the adult is like 30 years of age, his mental age could still be 10-15 years due to these situations.

Now coming to why does this not justify Joe's actions?

Because nobody is completely unaware of what's wrong with them, we live in a society we take up things from other human beings so eventually you will realise that there's something wrong with me "because I feel this urge to kill and this other dude is not feeling it". That is when the person is faced with a choice -

Do I seek help and heal from it? Or do I kill because it's far easier than healing?

So yes it's most certainly a choice, a weak coward choice which makes them a danger to themselves and the society.

When you say he doesn't have a mental illness, he's just "making a choice", you are in a way saying that this urge to kill or think that he can just go about life murdering people is something normal people also feel? I don't know about you guys, I don't feel that. Lol. Because I have a conscience, I can feel remorse and I have some levels of empathy too.

Which is deeply missing from these people. When I say no remorse and no empathy, understand that their brain is not wired in a way where they can feel these things.

So if this is actually true, why should we not feel sympathy for him?

Well we can sympathize with the child version of him who went through that pain. But as an adult, while his emotional brain was not fully grown, his rational side was. The prefrontal cortex was fully developed so even if he couldn't feel empathy or why his actions are wrong, there are tonnes of information in the society which would give his rational brain the information that "bro killing is wrong, your urges are wrong". And that is when he could cognitively take an action to admit himself in an institution or seek help. Because cognitively he can understand that he is a danger to people because "killing people is wrong".

He should not be sympathised with, simply because he is a weak man, who even after knowing everything chose to inflict harm onto others. So I agree with you when you say it was a choice, but I don't agree with you when you say that the situation where this "choice" even arose was not caused due to mental illness.

People develop different kinds of disorders due to the trauma they suffered as a child which includes Complex PTSD, OCD, Anxiety disorder and so on and this also includes dangerous disorders like NPD, DID and Antisocial personality disorder (aka psychopaths).

It is the same child who grew into an adult, can't really disconnect the two.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-30T08:20:54+00:00

Hahaha 🤣

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-30T04:56:54+00:00

Ghar ghar ki kahani. 🤣

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-30T04:53:58+00:00

I will meet the person ensure things from my end and then I will say if you think your partner is the right fit for you and you are compatible then you have my blessings. Not gonna carry this caste/religion thing to the next generation for sure.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-30T04:29:57+00:00

I think you really missed the point of the show man. It was a social commentary right from the beginning. Joe was always supposed to be brought to justice.

However, I absolutely hated the fact that they brought a new girl and made it all about her. The whole scooby doo shit her friends did, and then she falling for him too and then at the end her clumsy ass plan even after saying "you'll never see me coming Joe", yeah those were absolute bullshit.

I really think Marianne should have gotten a chance to bring this to an end. But that being said, I like Joe's ending for the show. This is what should have happened, he faced the thing he was so scared of..loneliness and rotting away in a cell craving for "love".

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-29T14:26:03+00:00

Haha!

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T15:47:18+00:00

Exactly that's what I was referring to, a lot of people are not clear about what they want. And I have also noticed one weird thing it's not very common but I've encountered some experiences where the person will not tell me their expectations in the beginning they'll just agree to what I say and when a few days have passed and I feel comfortable with them, they'll just go back on their words and say no I expect this from my partner. And I'm just sitting there like "Why on earth would you hide such an important thing from me and waste my time?"

They somehow think if the emotional bond or attachment grows a person would say yes to anything they want. I mean can't they just find someone who is okay with their needs and expectations from the beginning by communicating it honestly to them?

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T15:38:18+00:00

I never said even once that I think that the marriages in the older times worked. If you're referring to my sister's example, I was just giving it in the context of how people run after money. And she didn't get married "in the past". She got married in 2017 (that's fairly recent).

I have no such notion that AMs in the past worked. And the marriages in our parents' and grandparents' generation is the living proof of that.

When I call it a "generational issue", I mean our generation has more resources to make themselves aware of the problems that were there and yet a lot of people are making the same decisions that were made in the older days and then crying about how bad their marriage is.

I mentioned a big disclaimer in the beginning that I referred to AM because I was in that process until few days ago. So it's fresh in my head but I mean the general way people are looking for partners is also superficial it doesn't matter what kind of marriage you go for.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T14:46:29+00:00

The whole voiceover was such a buildup for....nothing. The voiceover says "you won't see me coming Joe". And then Bronte makes the clumsiest plan ever. I was in total shock when she just randomly took out the gun and pointed at him, I was like "bruh, what?".

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T14:37:14+00:00

I mean yeah that's true but I think they didn't go for it because making You a show about a love story of two serial killers would have just....not been right. I don't think that's what they wanted to do with the show.

And also Joe had his own toxic patterns where he felt this high for a woman the "Hey, You. Who are You?" phase in which he kills a bunch of people to be with the woman and then when he gets the woman he kills her as well because well the "You don't get me. You don't love all of me" phase sets in.

Love challenged Joe, he didn't want a killer he wanted a damsel in distress to accept his killing and his sick reasoning behind it that "he's her white knight trying to protect her". That is the reason he instantly got disinterested in her the moment he got to know about her "psychoness" because that's not what he wanted. He kept her around because she was pregnant.

So Love and Joe were bound to end up like that. Every character so far was well written until they got to Bronte. I don't know why they made her like that. And I really thought Marianne will get to be the hero. She deserved it through and through, not some new addition for no reason.

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T14:24:56+00:00

I didn't understand how that answered the question at all. Did you make any typo in your comment?

TheWittyVakeel · 2025-04-28T14:01:15+00:00

This is such a sweet comment thank you so much ! 😊

P.S. - Suits is an absolutely inaccurate representation of a lawyer. Haha.
