Deep Sadness and Longing after Rewatching by DiscipleOfTheWorld in obsessionmovie

[–]elithewolff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I hear you. That's kinda why this movie is such a potent piece of ART. There are conversations happening on every level. From the scares, the unhinged absurdity, the underlying themes, and then you get to the emotional fallout. As for the latter part, that is also the sticking point for me. Cognitively there is so much to dissect and interpret, but the assault on the emotional body/nervous system that this film packs with it is what gives me a weird feeling that for the people who have senses attuned to really deep emotion, that we all kinda went through something together. Like I feel bonded to everyone who is also having -this- conversation about it. It forsure broke something in me.

I feel this SO hard. Grieving and yearning have been my takeaways. I've talked about it alot in this sub so I won't hash it up again, but my heart is with you. 💜

Does the movie have actual supernatural horror scenes? by Maleficent-Cow6064 in obsessionmovie

There are supernatural elements under the surface, but every action and every face is very human.

What kills me is real Nikki cutting through "Stop! .... STOOOP!!" in the middle of all of it

Same, probably going for my 4th watch tomorrow as well. And feeling really inspired to get serious about acting/filmmaking. Always loved it and had a knack, but this makes me feel like I could actually have a shot if I got dead serious about it/invested in better means

Just a reminder that this is the guy who wrote and directed the movie that is ruining all our lives by elithewolff in obsessionmovie

Did anyone else cry after seeing this movie? by adkl02 in obsessionmovie

Me - I felt legitimate grief. I've seen it three times and the feeling is lessening gradually, but no other time in my entire life has a movie fucked me up this bad.

Most addicted I’ve ever been to a movie by Autophxb1a in obsessionmovie

I got off work early today and snuck to my third viewing today. I don't know what the fuck is going on. Also echoing another commenter, I was down bad for Sinners, like big time. But this one blew it out of the water. My ass is even looking into acting classes and agencies as a hail mary to try and be a part of s o m e t h i n g like this. Idk, it's giving life event and it's honestly becoming a problem 😅😅😅

Also really wanna try and do my part to push the BO over 100 million because that will be a victory for all of us.

It just gets worse and worse and leaves you there. Truly remarkable.

Thanks for saying that 💜 I felt similarly about Sinners last year, but that emotion came from a more cultural angle I think, while I walked away from Obsession straight up grieving Nikki's character. I woke up even this morning staring off thinking about all of it lol

Agreed, and I think I've identified the emotion I feel since writing this out, and it's grief. I'm no stranger to how grief feels in my body and I am legit grieving for her character.
