man that backrooms movie was crazy. because yeah, it’s about the backrooms, but it’s also about the BACK ROOMS of a broken man’s mind and his warped perception of those around him, ending up harming everyone he comes into contact with until the broken animalistic part of himself (The Pirate) kills off the last sane part of him. but its Also about how those with authority and power (ASYNC) leave people to fend for themselves as that feeds their power and control over the situation. but it’s Really About Mary and outgrowing the hold that her mother’s mental condition and behavior had over her and that no one’s the same after trauma and how the traumatized versions of themselves take over their and others lives (The Pirate killing Clarke and the Backrooms People, the different parts of Mary’s life succumbing to the Backrooms including her copy), and though you can overcome your trauma that broken part of yourself will always exist in that pain. but the REAL REAL meaning is don’t go into strange rooms that appear in your basement after you’ve been drinking
