it's funny to me that while toy story 5 is going on and bonnie is having trouble making friends, andy is probably like two states away and going through hell on earth on indeed.com
it is terrifying that bear only sought to "alter" his wish rather than cancelling it but what is even more terrifying is that he wouldn't even have called the number had nikki not inconvenienced him. if she did not act in such extreme ways bear wouldn't even have a problem. which is sooooo sooooo terrifying because he was completely fine living and being "loved" by nikki who he knew wasn't the real her. he claimed to love her, but even when she started acting like a totally different person it was water off a duck's back for him. he DIDN'T CARE whether it was the real nikki or an entirely different person.
even when she begs him to kill her, he does not feel even a shred of pity for her; he only worries "is being with me that bad".
the only reason he tries to change anything is because her behavior started to scare him FREAK him out. had she acted in a meeker way, bear would've lived with her HIS WHOLE LIFE knowing she ISN'T the real nikki NOT GIVING A FUCK about what she would've wanted. PERIOD.
the more i sit with it the more i realise that the title of the movie did not refer to nikki's obsession with bear but rather his obsession with her. because i know fs that what he felt for her definitely wasn't love.
It brings me no end of joy that a Disney released theatrical Star Wars movie (which is basically DLC for a disney plus show but that's another conversation) is getting smoked in its second weekend by two low to mid budget horror movies made by first time directors in their 20s given basically blank check creative control. Things are looking good for the movies these days

Two indy horror movies are now outperforming a Star Wars flick at the summer box office; truly the Old Gods are dead.
"is being with me so bad?"
KILL YOURSELF LITERALLY EXPLODE EVERYWHERE HOLY FUCK!!!! FREE HER!!!! GOD!!!
Thinking about the last scene in Obsession where Fake Nikki goes from exaggeratedly crying over Bearās death to the real Nikki coming back to herself and truthfully shrieking from being violated. In a matter of seconds, it shows the damage of women being characterized as āemotionalā by depicting the stark difference between Fake Nikkiās cries for Bearāwhich are projected by himāand the real Nikkiās response to having been completely and utterly violated. More than that, the contrast between Bear and Nikkiās loneliness is as vast as their respective pain; Bear is never truly alone in the midst of his pain (shown through the real Nikki, Ian, and Sarah) yet still enforces an end to his imagined loneliness; meanwhile Nikki, after being traumatized and violated in every single way, wakes up completely alone with the consequences of everyone elseās actions against her.
my roommate (who hasnt seen obsession) upon hearing that nikkis last name is freeman pointing out how upsetting that is because. freeman. free man. the one thing she cannot be. fuck man.
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

obsession was great. the themes are especially great when viewed thru a feminist lens. i think you could even go so far as to view it as a metaphor for reactive abuse (the way bear makes a wish for nikki to love him more than anything in the world / be obsessed with him, then lets everyone believe sheās just gone crazy put of nowhere, all while still not wanting to end his relationship with her. of course itās not one to one but the subtle themes are there.)
i also enjoyed how the film showed what everyday violations of consent can look likeā¦media often shows the most obvious, often-dramatized occurrences of it, but this depicted a more common way of it showing up.
bear did indeed take advantage of nikki while she was in a mentally unstable state. he was well aware her consent was compromised. all the while he is very insecure about it, knows what he is doing, becomes aware even that nikki is aware and it is hurting her, continues doing it. i love that this film names this. it even critiques ānot like the other girlsā anti-feminism through sarah, who sees it as nikki taking advantage of bearā¦then she ironically tries to take advantage of bearās vulnerable state herself by coming onto him.
also on a smaller note nikkiās batshit incestuous gorey hansel and gretel story had great prose i enjoyed it. my partner pointed out that before the wish, nikki saw bear as a little brother figure. meaning the hansel and gretel thing very well could have come from real feelings of disgust, like it nearly feels like an incestuous relationship to her.
and the ENDING. a lesser film would have insisted that, in these circumstances where the wish can only be broken if one of them dies, the male lead must survive between the two. but there was no self sacrifice from nikki out of āloveā, there was no moment of lucidity or jealousy or rage where she kills herself, bear is forced by the narrative to take full responsibility for what he has done to nikki. whatās moreā he reaches for a gun, almost uses it, ultimately decides on overdosing on pills. my partner and i personally think this was intentional commentary on masculinity, by having bear consider, then reject, the way men typically choose suicide in favor of the way women typically choose it. just a fun detail and maybe weāre both batshit.
good movie. all of that said though iām sure a lot of people will boil it down to āhaha women are soooo crazyā¦ā
thinking about post-movie nikki who will forever be terrified of losing her autonomy again. nikki who will forever doubt every thought that crosses her mind, every emotion she feels, because is she sure she's the one in control? what if the entity is still there, lurking, puppeteering her to think these things, say these things, do these things? nikki, who will forever question if anything is real. if she is real.
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.
Was thinking about how fitting it is that Bear wants to be a food critic while Nikki wants to be a writer.
He wants to complain about the creations of someone else, adding nothing but despair to their lives, refusing to contribute anything helpful or new.
She wants to create something original but is stuck in an imitation of herself, forced to reenact a plot she hates.
reading the original screenplay for obsession. i see why they cut this because itās so in-your-face but godddd nikki (originally nicky) was basically telling bear what would be the moral of the movie and he just canāt absorb any of it

i can't be nikki
i absolutely love how nikki is nearly always bathed in shadow (whether itās fully in the dark or with a single light behind her with her as the faceless darkness). sheās quite literally become a shadow of her former self. no autonomy, no personal thoughts or emotions, just a carved image of what bear desired.
