for everyone that says bear isnt the villain
The guy on the phone asked Bear if he wanted to fucking talk to her. And he couldn't even do that
Her soul was on the line and he hung up.
Fuck bear
I think I need to express to y'all just how scary Obsession is. There are few horror films that have truly scared, not even all of my all time favourite horror films have rattled me. The horror movies of last year that I saw in the cinema, Sinners, Weapons, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, are all great movies that I really enjoyed. They kept me on edge and even really unsettled me, but none of them really struck terror into heart.
Obsession struck terror into my heart. It grabbed me by the throat and refused to let go 'til credits roll. The atmosphere is thick with intense dread that leaves you unsettled and uncomfortable the moment the One Wish Willow is broken.
But of course the real reason this film rattled me so much is Inde Navarette. God she's so absolutely incredible, giving what may be one of the best female performances in a horror movie. Her unpredictability and sheer intensity makes her a terrifying force to reckoned with. The way she sometimes moves like a stop motion character adds to the unsettling nature of her. The moments where the real Nikki is able to break out just makes the whole thing all the more horrifying. There are so many intensly scary scenes but I think the standout is the bedroom scene, it haunts me so much. Inde better get all the awards recognition, the whole movie should but her in particular because she puts her all and then some into this. Absolutely phenomenal performance in an absolutely incredible film.
In truth the real scariest part of the film was everything that Bear did. Fucking bastard, fuck him
I really do think Entity! Nikki is a childish existence and on top of it I think that's why it feels so bad to see her becoming traumatized from being with Bear when his wish ripped out parts of her that made it impossible to love him. Not! Nikki exists as sparknotes of her former self with the missing pieces filled in by Bear's own personality and habits, but she's still being traumatized because fundamentally Nikki and Bear's relationship is defined by her saying no and him not caring. It why I see the ending scenes of the movie as really nauseating because Not! Nikki is this new being without life experiences gauging her personality and behavior off of Bear's reaction and she starts to associate her genitals with violence. Entity Nikki is crying in the corner and starts to force herself to sleep at night and give Nikki full control because before that scene E! Nikki has the real Nikki's nightmare about how Bear raped her. It makes me feel sick since she's like a child that can't comprehend what's happening or why this is all hurting, and why she feels terrified by someone she loves. She doesn't understand why she feels so violated when one of the scenes with her and Bear is her assuring him he didn't violate her cause that's what Bear wants her to be telling him

Obsession screencap painting
His name being Bear. Her seeing him as a brother, and then the Hansel and Gretel story. Him not wanting to cancel the wish when he thought he could, just alter it. The soundtrack. The sunshine necklace and "Nikki would hate that" and then she stops leaving his house during the day. Everytime she freaks out after coming back into her own body. Him not caring. Fake Nikki making things up. "Is being with me so bad?" I love this movie so much Curry Barker you are a genius.
one of the things i admire most about obsession is the deliberate denial of any kind of optimistic ending, as well as the method by which that is executed. iām thinking, specifically, of how the musical cues are utilized to pull multiple bait-and-switches on the audience: the way the music swells when bear is explaining the wish to ian and asking for his help; when bear puts the gun in his mouth; and when he takes the oxycodone.
obviously, if ian wishes away bearās initial wish, thatās a happy ending! if bear dies in the bathroom and we cut to black, the audience can hold onto the hope that the wish breaking allows nikki to go back to her life before!
but those endings, especially the latter, would be dishonest. i appreciate that the film makes us sit in nikkiās anguish instead, bc i appreciate that it understands that she was equally affected by this, if not more so! an ending that bleak is honest to the concept and to the consequences inherent to the concept and i think it shows a great deal of respect for nikki. itās an acknowledgement that nikki experienced something deeply violating and now has to somehow learn how to cope with it.
LOVEEEE wish!nikki being faceless. her face being backlit or her entire body being shadowed in darkness. wearing clothes that are completely removed from her style before the wish. having a higher pitched voice than she did before. not being able to smile the same. itās not just that nikkiās face hidden in shadow, everything that made her HER has also been covered up with something else. wish!nikki doesnāt have a face of her own, she just has what bear wants projected onto her.
the thing is bear doesnāt even really know nikki. theyāve been āfriendsā for a long time but he barely even listens to her, he didnāt even question her concern for her dadās cancer when Ian and Sarah both immediately poked holes in not!Nikkiās story. all the shots of Nikki obscured in darkness showing not only is she Not there but also sheās never been there, bear has never seen her. only the silhouette of her life on his. and if the one wish willow could puppeteer her husk more seamlessly, heād be satisfied with the shell of herā¦

very very glad people are coming out of obsession and not putting on gloves to handle bear. hes not a good person in the slightest and just because he didnt know the one wish willow was real, it does not justify him taking advantage of a wish controlled nikki when he was fully aware of her state and continued to use her after he figured it out.
the fact bear only tried to cancel his wish after being told he couldnāt alter it (and, seemingly, because he was uncertain about how real nikkiās love actually was) - instead of wanting to do that from the start, as soon as it was clear that something was wrong with nikki - makes me so, so devastated for her. itās clear he was more concerned with what he was getting out of the wish, rather than the detrimental effect it was having. and like, everyone could tell something was up with nikki, itās not as if it wasnāt clear. him hanging up the phone as soon as nikki is out on the line (screaming) is so symbolic of how he is completely ignoring how he is ruining her life throughout the film

just because you chose this for her doesn't make it less real

the longer I sit with obsession the more empathy I start to feel for entity!nikki. this creature that was created solely to love one person with this all-encompassing intensity that needed to be stronger than anything anyone felt in the entire world. entity!nikki whose entire world was just one single focal point; she'd do anything for bear to love her. she didn't know anything when she came into existence, but she was willing to do anything to get this man to fall for her.
it must have been equally terrifying for her as it was for the real nikki to have someone else fight for control over what she perceived as her body. the scene where she's sobbing in the corner, terrified of her dreams is now more sad than terrifying to me. real nikki, who has just been raped by her once best friend hurting so badly that it seeps into entity!nikki's nightmares. entity!nikki who doesn't understand why the thing she wanted so badly is causing her so much pain. why she can't bring herself to lie in bed next to the man who is the center of her world.
and the worst part is bear doesn't even seem to like her. she's trying so so hard; she made a lovely memorial for his dead cat, she waited for him to come home all day without moving an inch, she made sure to be the most doting girlfriend at the party, and he's not pleased by any of it. he seems disturbed and angry and scared and she has no idea what to do to make it better. to make it worse, he keeps asking her to behave like the original nikki but he was the one who wished for her!! she can't be like nikki because nikki was simply not capable of loving bear even a fraction of how much she does!
she can't seem to reconcile it; he wanted her so badly he conjured her into reality and now he doesn't want her anymore. she doesn't know what to do. she tries everything. she obsesses over him, she threatens to hurt herself, she gets rid of that bitch sarah who keeps distracting him and trying to steal him away, and then dresses in her clothes for good measure and he still doesn't want her.
and then finally in a fit of desperation, she makes the wish and for one beautiful moment its all perfect. he's finally looking at her the way she looks at him. and then he's dead and she's lost everything.
her entire existence, from the moment of her conception to her death was painful, and confusing, and so very sad.
love love LOVE that not-nikkiās face is obscured in so many shots like yes that is a Body Without Its Original Inhabitant ā¼ļø
