I just woke up. What happened last general? The leftists were seething.
I have seen some recent horror in theaters. Obsession, Backrooms, and Undertone. you guys might remember me from my lengthy analyses back in Oct. ive been watching horror since but writing less. Heres my take on Obsession:
Obsession is about AI psychosis. Obviously its about autonomy, BPD, and fatasizing without thinking about reality. Yeah theres a discussion on what love means and what it means to be enamored and whether its moral to enamor, but i wanna focus on the AI metaphor going on. Theres lots of evidence there is ai in this world. Nikki generates ai images of their relationship, he asks chatgpt for the side effects of MDMA. but further theres more. (irl) There was a boy who had an AI be his girlfriend and he grew attached and became psychotic and the ai dumped him and he killed himself. a very tragic truth. Bears arc reflects this, he has a crush, confides in ai because his friends dont really help him with his struggle in any meaningful way. he sees an option in front of him and takes it without thinking. from then on, he is fully convinced that nikki is obsessed to an insane degree with him. When Bear confronts Nikki about her inappropriate behavior she is acts like its perfectly natural then she apologises and promised a change in behavior like an ai would. Then, the hansel and gretel monologue was delivered with an intensity and cadence similar to ai speech. and the creepy ways in which nikki moves in the night are reminiscent to the ways that ai video generation moves the human body, which reflects the ais inability to recognize embodiment. the thing controlling nikki doesnt know what its like to have a body.

>>221135817 >contd. (when she scuttles with the flowers, when she ducks back into the corner, when she straightens up after smiling all day) her body was silhouetted often to show the disconnect and lack of freedom nikki has it doesn't quite look like her, similar to the way people will sexually assault women by taking their photos and using ai to make them naked. ripping their autonomy and the resulting image represents an idea more than a reality. it assaults the woman and yet the image doesnt even resemble the person (ai yasaified faces, guessing the shape of bodyparts) okay, then the rug in the living room with its intricate orderly patterns, when taken as metaphor for technology, when nikki spoils herself on the rug it becomes this huge blight on technology. if she is ai, then her participation as technology soils it. the progress of technology is necessary though, bear kills himself and dies on the rug, an altar of technology. the irl boy killed himself in the name of ai. as we pan past his frothing mouth we see the orderly pattern again and a slow pan to an upside down television, a negation of technology, something that connects us instead dividing us. I have also analyzed it from the point of view of a traditional slasher in the lineage of TCM, and would be happy to write up my thoughts there for you guys :)

>>221135817 >>221135831 I'll be honest I only skimread your post but I agree. I actually upset a zoomy recently who said it was about wishes and rape by saying those analysis are really surface level and somewhat shaky. I mean I've seen many monkey paw adaptions. Hell even the whole Wishmaster series. Very little of Obsession is about "getting too much of what you want" or a strange interpretation. Bear asks for love and he gets a broken freakish pseudo-human. He got scammed, the modern world is about buying something and getting scammed on a shoddy product that fucks up your life.

>>221135907 >monkey paw adaptions This touches on a discussion i had with my kino fren about this. i would argue its pretty obviously not a monkey paw situation, but more like a genie situation. Where the monkey paw will move the world in a way you dont want to give you the thing you think you want, a genie wish will grant the wish regardless of the state of the world, yet what it gives you is not actually what you think you wanted, or rather, what you want is not actually what is good for you. this goes more to the surface level analysis though, and i think the quote "romance and love stories are the same" is where this argument really lands. Neither Bear nor Nikki really elaborate on what they think either term means. but instead the awkward pause is broken by something thats all to easy to connect to the ai argument. "youre the only person i can talk to about this kind of stuff" meanwhile they arent actually talking to each other.
P.S. is hating the capcha oldfag or newfren? its summer indeed, but god damn i miss need tomboy.

>>221137206 before you could pin yourself into skinnyness age was the inevitable worry of any woman who was older than 19. the horror of X is that the wall spares no one. if tirzepitide was acessable in the 2010s, instead there would be tension about whether a glp skinny body was moral or authentic, but it would only really be an issue women think about. now the wall is not your enemy, but who you once were, the leaking of y our relevance as popular culture leaves you behind and you get attached to music from when you used to be beautiful. the fat blob hunting us down is now a metaphor for the dishonesty of using cheat codes to get thin and how no matter what out health will decline and theres no magic pill. think the Substance but as a slasher with a more grounded and less sci fi background. (my schizophrenia allows me to analyze metaphor in movies that dont even exist. )
