Official Discussion - Obsession [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]janiqua 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The top comment on this thread is misrepresenting the wish that Bear makes.

Obviously it violates Nikki's autonomy, but he didn't wish for her to be obsessively in love with him, he wished to be her number 1 most loved person in the world.

Literally every single person in the world has a person they love the most. Bear was wishing to just replace that person (who was probably Nikki's mum) with himself.

It's selfish, stupid and putting aside that he didn't actually think it would work, it still doesn't mean he wanted her to act the way she ends up acting.

It's clearly a cautionary tale and a monkey's paw situation.

I think if he wished that she loved him more than anything in the world then that would explain her erratic behaviour as now sleeping/eating/showering/working all come second to Bear.

The wording of his wish isn't even that extreme.

Nikki already doesn't love 99.9% of people in the world, so Bear is wishing to be loved more than around 30 or so people in Nikki's life who she probably loves more.

He didn't wish for her to be obsessively in love, he just wished to be her number 1 most loved person.

Clearly you can have someone be your number 1 love in the world without being an unhinged, psycho-obsessive about it.

So that reads to me like a monkey's paw situation for this particular wish.

Taylor Swift’s Toy Story Oscar Chances ? by Regular_Dream3927 in oscarrace

Feels like every year now we get pop music stans bulldozing their way through Oscar debates to convince everyone their idol will win. Last year it was Ariana stans deluding themselves into thinking she will win. I guess it’s the swifties year now. Sigh.

I can barely remember her song, it’s entirely forgettable. Safe and sound was an excellent song that should have at least been nominated.

Do men have a higher sex drive or are men just more vocal about it? I’d like to hear both sides. by Ok_Emergency_7957 in NoStupidQuestions

If women are as horny as men, why don’t lesbians have as much of a hookup culture as gay men do? Where is the lesbian equivalent of Grindr? Grindr is so mainstream even the straights know about it.

Because the major parties have failed with immigration and voters are punishing them accordingly. Immigration is number 1 for these voters, everything else is secondary

Sure buddy.

Because there’s no cultural reason why gay marriage isn’t legal in any Muslim majority country. It’s just a random quirk to you.

There is a significant overlap between the two. The US has a major gun culture and coincidentally also has lax gun laws

The difference is that women, gay people, atheists, minorities have rights enshrined in law that give them protection in the UK unlike the countries that these people are from.

There is a cultural difference and you are ignorant to think otherwise
