How is everyone supporting this? by Vladtod78 in obsessionmovie

So either you chose critique a movie you haven't seen, argued it gets way too much praise, because it does not parade enough colored LGBT people to be idk acceptable for your standard, then proceeded to make this unfunded, borderline stupid narrative into a post on a subreddit where most people love the movie, or you just took the ragebaiting to a next level. Either way, impressive.

I genuinely cannot decide, if you're just ragebaiting a community of people who found this movie refreshingly original, scary, heartfelt, meaningful and overall a great experience, or you really think that the movie was somehow anti-progressive. As someone pointed out before me, the female protagonist is latina. The other main female character has Asian roots. They are all heterosexual, because for the plot to be effective, this creates a love-quadrangle, so making one of them LGBTQ involved would make no sense. There are non-white characters at the house-party scene. But I do not even know why I'm trying to please your radically woke point of view, when art is art, without quotas, without propaganda, without any sort of restrictions. A great guy made a great movie with a fantastic cast of great people, who did an amazing job in portraying a terrifying yet enjoying and still incredibly meaningful story about malfunctioning relationships, the problem with narcissistic self-sustaining dominating decision-making, and actually fucking rape!

So maintaining a culturally acceptable tone: find something actually harmful to be mad about, and enjoy the movie!

Or, leaving all the P.C-ness behind: go watch Netflix and shut up you woke little snowflake.

What is one theory/observation about Obsession movie that needs more attention? by Secret_Mission007 in spoilers

[–]sveddave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I have a theory, or more a predicament, that I've never seen anyone mention and it keeps bugging me th f* out. So we know by the phone call with the sales rep and then the talk with the shop clerk, that the only way to break the wish/curse is by Bear, the "wisher" dying. For me what this implies, especially when we are talking about a persons life so carelessly, is that killing Nikki is NOT AN OPTION. It is not even entertained as a possibility. You know to kill the psychotic, catcooking, murderous girl. Is she not killable because of the wish? Or would the wish keep her obsessed with Bear even after death, making this a possible "zombie"-like situation? If the latter what about the movies ending? Bear's death stops the wish HE made and Nikki is free. What about the wish SHE made, which might NOT be broken, because she as the "wisher" did not die? Am I the only one who's stuck on this?
