I didn't enjoy it that much. Found it overly sentimental and saccharine. Although to be fair I got the impression if I were a parent it would resonate with me more.

That’s funny, I found it terribly sad, with a distant backdrop of optimism. Given that it was an allegory, set within a mashup of 3 different mythologies, I suppose it makes sense that it would have multiple interpretations. But yes, it was terribly sad, to my eye.

Aronofsky is a misery monger

The Whale is probably going to be an artefact of its time very soon. Now that everyone has started on ozempic it was probably the last time they could film that story and have it be relatable/recognisable.

Food industry will never allow ozempic to be easily available

I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

The Matrix made me realise my whole reality was a lie and now I’m pro-Patriarchy, pro-Authoritarian and pro-conformity just like the characters.

I think people don't realize you're making fun of manosphere and alt right creators co opting the terms from the movies like red pill and others.

Office space started me thinking about early retirement plans.

Same. Glad I saw it as a kid. Now I'm retired.

I couldn't even finish that movie and had to stop after about 30 min (not because it was bad, but just way too depressing lol)

I hated just about everyone in The Whale. Everyone who was enabling him was an accomplice to a murder, in my opinion. I also found the main character to be so revolting that I couldn’t muster much sympathy beyond my aforementioned blame towards his enablers.

I love challenging media, but that one had nearly nothing redeemable about it. I’d rather have a crack problem than a food problem after seeing that movie.
