r/obsessionmovie

part of me makes me confirmed in the saying that you always want what what you don’t have , because it’s like what do you mean you didn’t notice the girl who always liked you from the beginning ? like she was literally right there ? there’s no way bear didn’t realize sarah was into him until the car scene , especially in the part where she’s laying her head on him in the music store in a similar fashion to the way nikki was when they were in bed . either he was oblivious to it or truly only wanted nikki up until she started spiraling into madness .

i noticed in the bar scene at the beginning of the movie sarah was literally the only one who heard bear saying sandy died , ian and nikki literally either didn’t hear it or didnt care or were too busy having fun to be bothered . nikki didn’t remember what bear was going to tell her after being interrupted countless times . if it was sarah she would have asked him again what he was going to say , because that’s what someone does when they like you . they notice things about you . idc what anyone else says NIKKI NEVER LIKED HIM !! the signs were literally all there in y’all’s faces .

bear is the best representation of a true coward , he got the girl he wanted forcefully and only then proceeded to cheat with the girl he should have gone for from the start , he only wanted sarah after realizing he created an insane demonic entity out of nikki . how disgusting and absolutely inhumane of him .

although if he used the wish on sarah she would have probably had the same fate or maybe nothing would have changed as we know sarah already liked him , probably not more than anything else in the world though obviously (not more than luther art school) . sarah died not knowing the real reason behind all this , i think that’s the real tragedy . she deserved to know what was going on .

“nice guys always finish last” except bear wasn’t a nice guy , not even close . he was a terrible person and never took accountability for the fact that he ruined so many people’s lives all because he couldn’t confess like a normal sane person .

The way Bear laughs 😂😂

I love that Michael was the one to come up with Bear trying to puke up the pills

During their "happy" montage, Willow Nikki was staring at Bear instead of watching the TV. Near the end of the film, the TV is playing a footage of Bear sleeping. I guess Willow Nikki did this so she can watch Bear on the TV instead of staring at him.

Another one that I thought was so random is Willow Nikki smoking. Not until I realized Sarah was actually smoking in the car. Willow Nikki took Sarah's clothes, copied her tattoo, tried to smoke, and even hit her face with a brick as well cause you know..

I also think her screaming "why don't you love me" is a little bit on Sarah's part cause Bear doesn't like Sarah. But I'm not really sure with this one cause Willow Nikki already screamed this earlier in the movie.

And no, she's not wearing Sarah's scalp. Maybe she's trying to copy Sarah's hairstyle but definitely not wearing her scalp.

This last one is a bit of a reach. I don't know why they put such heavy emphasis on "time" in the beginning of the movie. It doesn't really lead to something or I missed it. But what I think is that, at the end of the movie, Bear and Nikki, as well as Willow Nikki needed time.

If Willow Nikki did the wish just a few seconds or minutes longer, Bear could've threw up the pills. If Willow Nikki pulled the trigger just a little earlier, Nikki wouldn't have survived. I think in those moments that tiny bit of extra time played a huge part.

And I think it was also poetic when Willow Nikki said during their date that she can't live without Bear. Not necessarily because she would end herself but because if Bear dies, the wish would go away, hence she would cease to exist. That's probably also a reach.

This was such a good film. I don't even like horror. I love this so so so so so much.

Do you also have other details that you only caught on your rewatch?

The soundtrack is soooo good istg this whole movie cooked

My Spotify wrapped is already decided 😭

he is so selfish during the entire movie

Question: 

What did you think of the scene where Nikki, in her sleep, says to kill her, and then you say, “What’s so bad about being with me?”

Michael Johnston:

There were a lot of conversations about that scene. For sure, that is one of the darkest scenes in the movie, in a way. And that’s so cool, because there’s no blood or gore. It’s just so tragic. I think that scene really kind of shows you it’s a perfect example of the worst thing that could happen when you’re living for your deepest desires and impulsively choosing things you think would make you feel good, instead of facing up to your own issues.

I don’t think I really ever played Bear as a guy who wanted to hurt Nikki. I feel like, in some ways, he really does deeply care for her, but he just can’t look past his own desires. He’s just in so much pain, and he’s so lonely. I think that scene is incredibly upsetting. I really do. And I didn’t realize how upsetting that scene was until I watched it in the theater, because in the moment, I was just focused on what Bear was going through. He just wanted to hold on to this thing. He wasn’t trying to hurt anyone. But sometimes we make mistakes or choices that are capable of deeply hurting other people, and I think that’s what this movie was trying to explore.

If these things didn’t happen, it wouldn’t be a horror movie, it wouldn’t be so controversial, right? It’s up to people. It’s up to the audience to decide how they feel about it, which is great. I can say it’s not on me, it’s up to you. (Laughs)

‘OBSESSION’ becomes just the 10th horror film to cross $400M at the worldwide box office.

It's the only movie I absolutely loved in years.

Few of the reasons are:

It's pure body horror without any liberal/feminist agenda in it. The filmmaker didn't try to insert any LGBTQ characters just to reach the diverse audience.

(I don't hate them. I just don't like that they force these characters into art just for views)

Otherwise every book or movie is about Race/Class/Gender/LGBTQ.

Pure horror. No BS.

I think its how inhuman she looks. She has lost her humanity at this point, she is something else. I dont know. I don't have anything crazy to say about it bc its point is literally just to show her with a creepy face and hammer home that it isnt actually Nikki. I just think its an interesting photo. Also she is getting more comfortable being less human in front of bear because he has shown that he will accept it if she reverts back to any sort of normalcy.

Congrats to Inde, Michael, Megan, Cooper, Curry, and everyone else involved

Well done and well deserved

Would it have made her death any less tragic if she hadn't gotten accepted to her deam school?

This is not mine, I just found this online and am sharing it with you

Inspired by Nikki’s outfit at the party.

She's gone, she's gone. Hit her, hit her with the holy water.

Personally, I thought he was funny and a good friend for rightfully calling out Bear when it looked like he was taking advantage of Nikki. Even if his advice of calling her 'Freaky Nikki' wasn't good, I got the impression that it could've worked for someone like him but not specifically Bear.

I was empathizing with him the whole time until he said this I just got that urge to punch him🧍🏻‍♀️

During the restaurant scene, Nikki is seen wearing a necklace with the letter 'B' on it, but in the rest of the movie, she's seen with a spiral necklace instead.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but with the initial necklace, it was before the true side effects of the One Wish Willow had become obvious.

Following this scene, however, the side effects become apparent and Nikki seems to "spiral" into insanity as a result of it, and her necklace represents that.

This is just my interpretation, and it could mean anything else or nothing at all, but I thought it was interesting.
