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.
I wondering if I should just never see that movie. I know a whole household of co-enablers that I’m trying to distance myself from. Three people have died from being overweight so far since I’ve met them and a fourth collapsed and shit himself while at my place in what looked like a diabetic shock. He then had the nerve to criticize my home.
I honestly get where they were coming from. My “I couldn’t finish it because it made me too sad” was oyasumi punpun
I only finished the second of 13 total volumes and I wasn’t tearing up or anything, but I developed a sense of… dysphoric dread, I guess, from reading it
Had the same thing happen to me with the movie Hereditary (although I later finished watching it, because of the praise it was getting). I thought “Yeah it’s good, but why would people watch this, why would they do this to themselves?”.
I never understood miseryporn and honestly MFW people are enjoying it:
Midsommar left me depressed for about a week, so I emotionally detached myself while watching Hereditary by playing on my phone lol. I totally skipped Beau is Afraid.
I’m gonna spoil something but literally at the end of Beau is Afraid, the audience just disconnects and leaves uncaringly at his misery.
Like that movie is a layer of meta meta meta commentary about the people watching his films and also the misery of existence itself. It’s not good but it’s definitely art.
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)

Then you’ve already lived the whole plot. There should be a way to report people like that so the court can put a restraining order on them.
Maybe I should make them watch it then. They’ll either fix themselves or stop talking to me. Win-Win.
But look at the downsides. You’ll have to hire huge people to collapse and shit in your home. Who would want that? What the fuck dude?
That kind of sounds like a reason to go back and finish it

I mean I don’t really want to spend my free time feeling like absolute shit because I chose to watch a movie

Oof, not the best movies to watch after another.
That was also a movie I wanted to see, but after Hereditary I thought “nah, I’m good”. Probably won’t watch another Ari Aster film, ever.
I often eat my dinner while watching a movie.
This is not a movie I’d recommend for that.
