there’s one line in obsession that i haven’t heard anyone talk about that really caught my attention when i first watched. it’s in the first scene where Nikki asks to stay the night at Bear’s house, before she asks him to sleep with her.
it’s easy to play off as a stutter but it really struck me that in this moment, Bear subconsciously viewed Nikki’s presence in his home as a burden of space. like she could be fucked up on drugs like him and Ian thought, but instead of being worried, he’s busy thinking about how he can’t use his bed bc she’s in it. every tiny thing about this guy reveals something about his dogwater personality, whether his actions are malicious or not.
