When did it become so cold?

"depiction is not automatically glorification" can and should coexist with "some depiction is glorification and you need to be able to tell the difference"

[ecrivainsolitaire]

Please add to that list "apparent glorification in the first 15% of the thing does not constitute real glorification if the remaining 85% is dedicated to suffering the consequences, deconstructing the damage and changing ways" because some people around here don't understand how the three act structure works.

Y'know yeah i will absolutely add this especially since people keep saying fight club is an example of glorification. Genuinely thanks for having one of the few good additions to this post

In order to explain my gripes with the film properly, I would have to get into the plot and movie that they build scaffolding to support the backrooms. It's a good thing I'm not hungover but even still consider this analysis still under construction:

The performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsve are so. so good! I think they played characters who feel this kind of existential dread that draws them to the unknown very well. My gripe comes in with the optics from a racialized lens of Chiwetel's character and nuance not being as present in the writing.

Coming off of Is God Is has gotten me aglow with joy over mentally ill black people being the film protagonists!!! And in a way Backrooms does that as well. But the character ultimately "Clark" is ultimately written to be a misogynist in a dead end job with little interiority beyond that. It wouldn't be so apparent if he wasn't the only black man in the film, and if he didn't become an antagonist in the second act, antagonising Renate Reinsve's character, his white woman therapist, "Mary."

The narrative external to the backrooms becomes a story about a black man who's unable to change from being fundamentally angry and violent who's just unable to be helped by the caring white therapist (who is not on some melfi timing fr she was dogs hit but also a therapist who sold VHS tapes so character accurate perhaps?). Over the course of the film, we see these two roleplay out scenes of domesticity, with Mary pretending to be Clark's Ex-Wife who's also a white woman!

Later in the film, Clark incapacitates Mary and kidnaps her, doing his heel turn into being a villain who's content in his derangement. This blow is softened with his eventual self-sacrifice, as he dies being eaten by the backrooms' memory monster of him. The defanging that added a Scary Guy brings to the backrooms aside, the monster is a kind of warped caricature of the man. And while ultimately not explicitly offensive, feels the reheated nachos of the race politics in the cinema of yesteryear.

squirrelflight's hope is a very bad book but "she deserved to be loved." "she was loved. i loved her." is genuinely one of the greatest most emotionally raw lines in all of the books ever. there is so much in there. she was loved. i loved her. i can't explain to you guys what happens to me when i think about she was loved i loved her
