OBSESSION Breakdown, Film Analysis And Ending Explained | Hidden Details, Easter Eggs And Making Of

[00:00] Okay, so one of the most twisted parts 

[00:03] the movie's most famous scene. No, no, no.

[00:11] In it, Bear confronts Nikki about her faking her 

[00:15] they were having a nice time. How about 

[00:19] she simply says something so they can go back to 

[00:25] illusion because this is what would 

[00:29] "Then why does it matter?" Because if things 

[00:34] matter if something darker is going on behind 

[00:38] as well because it's easier than dealing with 

[00:42] to stay in the fantasy because in his mind, this 

[00:48] And this is exemplified when we jump cut to the 

[00:53] but is just going through the motions much like 

[00:58] as well is showing that she's really asking Bear 

[01:04] he does. Though the real Nikki constantly leaves 

[01:09] ignores this to keep up the illusion. Bear knows 

[01:14] which also stops him from really connecting to 

[01:18] as we know, this isn't the real Nikki. But to 

[01:23] movie is all about how much he's willing to ignore 

[01:28] creepiest ones happens when Nikki's asleep, and we 

[01:34] ignore it, though, and this leads to the death 

[01:39] respected Nikki's wishes rather than his own, 

[01:43] despair. Nikki ends up becoming his prisoner, who 

[01:49] She completely loses her autonomy and becomes 

[01:53] looks human. Now, another big moment happens 

[01:57] She looks otherworldly, which is a testament to 

[02:01] and there's obviously a lot of subtext here with 

[02:06] which is why the face looks off. It's uncanny and 

[02:11] and mannequins are, of course, figures that 

[02:15] or agency. It also plays into Bear's desires 

[02:20] her personality, her dreams, and desires, and 

[02:33] feels like a direct nod to Get Out, which 

[02:42] no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. 

[02:47] of how obsession is a poison chalice. Sure, if 

[02:51] and hit the thumbs up, but you have to wonder 

[02:56] that person feeling anxiety and fear. And when 

[03:00] it then puts them in a position where they then 

[03:04] things to try and get the person to love them 

[03:08] this destroys everything around them. This is even 

[03:13] conditions that Nikki's shown. Now, this site 

[03:17] is used to explain why Nikki is acting like she 

[03:23] to mental health issues with there being anxiety, 

[03:28] all things Nikki exhibits. Barker explained how 

[03:32] how they'll end up being destructive. Also 

[03:36] makes you blind and what you'll be willing to 

[03:40] Bear is the only perspective that we follow 

[03:45] to any other characters. We only ever see things 

[03:50] So everything is his self-centered worldview 

[03:55] thing. It's the ultimate tale of Be careful 

[03:59] we're going to be breaking it all down. Welcome 

[04:03] Paul, and my one wish is that you follow us 

[04:12] It's a horror that along with back rooms has lit 

[04:17] cinema is changing. Made on Omega $750,000, it's 

[04:24] all time. Beyond its accomplishments, though, I 

[04:28] fact that it's got so much going on with it. 

[04:32] miss, and just tons of talking points going on 

[04:37] analyze the movie and talk about everything 

[04:42] check out our obsession inspired shirts at the 

[04:46] spoiler collection that's got lots of shirts 

[04:50] got a massive sale running right now for summer 

[04:54] this get made. Now, Obsession was written and 

[04:58] a sketch comedy channel. That's a bad idea. This 

[05:03] Tomlinson who also plays in in this movie. Now 

[05:09] make superb horror movies with Zack Greger putting 

[05:14] cut his teeth in comedy and I think horror is 

[05:20] really good timing, which is something that horror 

[05:25] for a second too long, dropping the scare at the 

[05:30] timing. Comedy can also lower the audience's 

[05:35] it can really heighten the scares. But it's clear 

[05:40] And he even said on the Dead Meat podcast that 

[05:44] and Peele. Speaking with The New Yorker, Barker 

[05:48] with horror movies starting in 2003. That was 

[05:54] and it's something that's going to prove 

[05:58] of it. But Obsession is a film that I've become 

[06:03] we're going to be going through it all. No one on 

[06:09] to love someone as much as I love you. Now, we 

[06:15] we're supposed to think is Nikki. Well, that is 

[06:20] memes flooding the internet. I was actually h on 

[06:24] it opening weekend. to air. But yeah, by Monday, 

[06:29] a thousand times. Thematically, this also sets 

[06:34] into how we'll not really see the real Nikki. The 

[06:39] and that's something that's a key point throughout 

[06:43] though, but he's keeping up the act he loves her 

[06:49] lays the groundwork for everything to come, 

[06:53] One thing I like is how he's sitting in a diner 

[06:57] of different romcoms, and most notably in When 

[07:02] of the table as the restaurant later on, and it 

[07:06] he spells his guts, I also feel like he's trying 

[07:11] he and Nikki talk about later as we learn she's 

[07:15] a romance. One shows though that the pair on 

[07:21] different things. Romance to me, if you're asking, 

[07:26] there's an excitement and you do gestures to show 

[07:32] love is a steady and more meaningful foundation 

[07:37] to me, the wish currently makes someone fall 

[07:40] there's a romantic connection between you. But 

[07:45] so he mistakes romance for that, just like 

[07:50] it's not a romance. It's a love story. Isn't that 

[07:57] Bear says he doesn't talk like this and almost 

[08:01] we see Nikki do later on when the real Nikki wakes 

[08:06] also kind of echo what the wish did to Nikki. 

[08:11] No, it's okay. Which is something he struggles 

[08:15] how he should be acting, but he puts himself back 

[08:20] he breaks throughout the movie before fully 

[08:25] he's even coaxed along by Ian, who if we seen 

[08:30] um you could see Ian as being in the situation. 

[08:38] also foreshadows Nikki's mental state. This 

[08:42] losing control of himself thinking about Nikki. 

[08:47] which ultimately gives him complete power over 

[08:51] nice things for him, but in Bear's view, kindness 

[08:56] to treat him like a friend and was constantly 

[09:01] she's estranged from her dad as well and possibly 

[09:05] get to see that he's just talking to a waitress, 

[09:10] is all in act. How about the waitress opposite 

[09:15] even hooked up with her. There's also the 

[09:18] as well. And this is the first hint that he could 

[09:22] with someone who loved him back, but he's just 

[09:26] if you will. The obsession at this point exists 

[09:31] wreck that's constantly thinking about her, even 

[09:36] I would choose you over everything. Bear is of 

[09:40] completely strips Nikki of her agency and makes 

[09:45] uh meant to be a play on that recent question or 

[09:50] but about how women would rather be left alone 

[09:55] the one, it went viral. But the point is, bears a 

[10:00] a predator. So his name highlights the danger that 

[10:04] by saying that it's cringey. Ian seems to know 

[10:09] this kind of thing. as we learn he's actually been 

[10:14] all while coaching Be on how to get with her. 

[10:18] sabotaging Be's chances, especially because he 

[10:24] Ironb trivia, this is what her bullies used to 

[10:28] the nickname. So, yeah, not a good move there. 

[10:32] off for him. Upon second viewing though, you 

[10:37] as a distinct lack of understanding of who Nikki 

[10:42] as he's sleeping with her. However, as she later 

[10:47] to provide. The waitress also suggests getting 

[10:51] against Ian's advice of just being less sappy. 

[10:56] dismisses her by saying, "Flowers, the candy that 

[11:06] you. He then pretty rudely h just brushes her 

[11:11] Ian. Nikki ends up becoming this to bear as well 

[11:16] But like Nikki, the waitress is just a prop for 

[11:21] not needed. And I bet they didn't tip her either. 

[11:26] do that." No, it's okay. You're okay. just pretend 

[11:32] Nikki do things later on. What I like as well is 

[11:37] expected Jack Quaid's character and companion, but 

[11:44] Ian asks Bear if he's ever even flirted with her 

[11:49] He's another dude who mentions romance whereas 

[11:53] He then basically says to neg her and this is 

[11:59] knows it's going to piss her off. Ian also says 

[12:03] quickly replies saying how she always invites Ian. 

[12:08] replies with, "Who else is going to be there? I've 

[12:14] for." Now Nikki, as we learn, is going through 

[12:18] on by constantly going back to the guy who doesn't 

[12:24] time." Which is the total opposite of Nikki, who 

[12:29] has hinted that just before the movie kicked 

[12:33] uh or the entanglement, if you will. Also wondered 

[12:39] represents a side of her that's angry that she was 

[12:44] also doing the same thing back with his life. But 

[12:49] arrested development. And even Sarah is applying 

[12:54] way to open up the film though. And as he repeats 

[12:59] his dead cat. Talk about the cat uh more in just 

[13:04] to it. The reason that I want to focus on this 

[13:08] when they were making the movie, we were going to 

[13:12] actually going to start with the TV similar to how 

[13:16] would be playing on it and the camera would then 

[13:21] then mirror the ending where we see Nikki on the 

[13:26] Cody thought it would be cool to have the opening 

[13:30] test audience reactions. They were also frustrated 

[13:36] what it had done to Nikki. How about Barker 

[13:41] he didn't want to fix the wish and instead wanted 

[13:46] work even though it was hopeless. Either way, the 

[13:50] how it says, "Do not eat on the bottom. You're 

[13:55] How's the cat supposed to read that?" But for some 

[13:59] medicine, including her pulse. It shows how he 

[14:04] and very much establishes things with Nikki. also 

[14:09] health. The lid's so insecure as well, an animal 

[14:14] doesn't close first time, and he was barely 

[14:19] death. And that is subtext for Nikki. Bear's 

[14:24] though, and his carelessness with the wish causes 

[14:28] Wish Nikki is the soul of the cat come back. 

[14:33] I've read them. I'm not sure. Uh, but I do think 

[14:39] the cat was left in the house on its own, and Bear 

[14:44] little regard he has for things that he loves. He 

[14:49] showing how he can't let go. Should have let Nikki 

[14:53] himself to do it. You can also see the cat as 

[14:59] curiosity killed the cat. The cat dies much like 

[15:04] one wish Willow and he sets in place a chain of 

[15:09] highlight his own issues and explain why he's 

[15:13] through this that the name of his grandma was 

[15:17] where he takes them to end the curse. But yeah, 

[15:22] also see photos of his friend group who are called 

[15:26] in the school band, which is also presumably why 

[15:31] the photos taken in a photo booth, and the first 

[15:36] and forcing her to be there. That is subtext. 

[15:41] while Nikki looks pissed off. The third is Bear 

[15:46] showing where her heart may possibly lie. The 

[15:51] and as we know, he's killed at the end. Sarah is 

[15:57] at her death. And Nikki looks angry as Sarah's 

[16:02] and basically spells out the plot of the movie. 

[16:07] the booth and ruined his moment with Nikki and 

[16:11] Michael Johnson's superb as Bear throughout and 

[16:17] so well. Also love how the obsession titles 

[16:22] bear scrolling through Nikki's Instagram. You 

[16:26] Tomlinson who again plays Ian. Really makes you 

[16:31] uh like back in the day, back in the day when 

[16:35] someone through your phone 24/7. You [ __ ] kids. 

[16:41] and like uh we broke up for the summer holidays. 

[16:47] I didn't see videos of her, didn't see photos of 

[16:52] a healthier way to live. Nowadays though, you can 

[16:57] in on your crush. So, the obsession can become 

[17:02] every moment of your life and yet also not with 

[17:06] not really there and are trapped behind a screen 

[17:11] bear and forced to betray the image that he wants. 

[17:16] was kismmet. We can also see that he's put love 

[17:21] simp move. He instantly smiles though even though 

[17:27] seems to be about work. They don't really have 

[17:31] seems like they're friends. Now the creative team 

[17:35] being where Nikki was into bear and one where she 

[17:41] think it adds some ambiguity. bearing the grief of 

[17:45] night cuz he is a bit of a mess. Uh, so she then 

[17:50] turns out that she's putting her two weeks notice. 

[17:55] her reason is that they're running out of time 

[17:59] probably hurts more now that Sandy's dead and 

[18:04] His cat has just shown how quickly things can be 

[18:09] this chance to confess his feelings. Also love 

[18:14] tonight's the night and Nikki drops her necklace. 

[18:19] crisis and he has no idea what to say. He sort of 

[18:24] to be the perfect idea of what he has in his head 

[18:29] be normal. Cutting to the new age hippie shop, the 

[18:33] and asks why would she even say that. I love the 

[18:38] much like Nikki and kind of disconnected from 

[18:44] in and out and she's also got a voice in her head. 

[18:48] man, which is a folklore figure usually associated 

[18:54] around the idea of being careful what you wish for 

[18:58] green man to gain glory and notoriety. However, 

[19:03] take his penins which ultimately leads to his 

[19:07] on a breakdown of the Green Knight movie h that 

[19:11] sure you subscribe for that. However, I'm hesitant 

[19:16] here as it's actually the name of the location in 

[19:20] and you can go there if you want. Beyond that, 

[19:25] is a real place as well. You may recognize it from 

[19:29] Neil Peresque drum solo and Stairway to Heaven's 

[19:34] and she's also played a shop assistant in Barker's 

[19:38] necklaces, and he has no idea if she's talking to 

[19:43] and how women of this world aren't really engaged 

[19:48] in the mirror, showing how at this moment, he's a 

[19:53] how Nikki looks when she stands in the corner, 

[19:58] the rose quartz attracts love, but he just asks 

[20:03] this is known to bring wealth. Don't know if it's 

[20:07] Bear wishes for good energy in a way in getting 

[20:12] So, maybe it's foreshadowing that, but Bear says 

[20:17] it just further shows how she's not fixated on 

[20:22] He then sees the very 40s/50s toys that would be 

[20:27] in with the art deco clock in his home. It's 

[20:32] which Nikki has a tattoo of, a chromoscope, 

[20:36] which I can't quite make out. In the middle, 

[20:40] McGuffin of the movie. This was actually inspired 

[20:45] episode 2. and in that Lisa dreams that Homer had 

[20:50] but had unforeseen side effects such as Lisa 

[20:55] taken over by Kang and Kronos. That story itself 

[21:00] which wishes are granted that have a double-edged 

[21:05] for £200 to pay a final mortgage payment only 

[21:09] Barker was also inspired by the idea of a what 

[21:17] what might happen when people are so obsessed with 

[21:23] together. And I will also die on the hill that 

[21:28] the one wish Willow is intended to look like a 

[21:32] Barker explained that he wanted the mcguffin 

[21:37] to the usual creepy horror magic stuff. kind of 

[21:43] I don't know like hokey magician thing there. As 

[21:48] as the company that makes them is called Tabbyat 

[21:52] an omen though and every time there's a cat, it 

[21:57] also a phone number which Bear calls later and the 

[22:01] Beyond that, Tabby is also not to his YouTube 

[22:07] Bear opts to buy the One Wish Willow and the 

[22:12] popular ever since they came out. The assistant 

[22:16] saying he shouldn't come back and complain if 

[22:20] as he tries to find out the truth. He jokes about 

[22:25] they wish they were dead or do die, which are all 

[22:29] weird demeanor with the shop assistant that 

[22:34] is also deeply unsettling in the way it's shot as 

[22:40] the top, left, and right. Cinematographer Taylor 

[22:45] Fincher, particularly Seven. And lots of this 

[22:49] work. One thing I also noticed as well is that 

[22:54] $7. Might be a goof. Uh, or it could be because 

[23:01] will be a hidden cost. That is subtext. Am I 

[23:05] to Barker's pub for trivia night, which is 

[23:09] The trivia host is played by Curry's father, who 

[23:14] later on. He's actually becoming a screenwriter 

[23:18] so expect to see more of him at the table. I also 

[23:23] centered while his friends sit around him. He's 

[23:28] foreshadowing how he'll be caught in the middle 

[23:32] give us a hint at the secret. Red can mean power, 

[23:37] Nikki. The yellow of the mustard bottle in front 

[23:42] um a color often associated with being a coward. 

[23:47] but is hidden by Ian. We also get the hint at 

[23:51] been slacking and not tuning the guitars or doing 

[23:56] her novel. Meanwhile, Sarah's dad owns the store 

[24:01] Bear though, who loves Nikki, who's banging Ian 

[24:06] one that leads to them all ending up miserable 

[24:11] Bear is going to confess his love, but Nikki 

[24:15] we finally see Nikki played by Indie Navarette who 

[24:20] from 13 Reasons Why or Superman and Lois. 

[24:25] the movie. She's very much meant to be the cute 

[24:29] but never auditioned for her and played her more 

[24:35] in 500 days of summer, wore a leather jacket or 

[24:43] I don't think it's a gay drink. Nikki roasts 

[24:47] his feminine side. And I like how even the Borman 

[24:51] later on at the party, Bear actually has a beer, 

[24:56] should be for her. He does this, he says, because 

[24:59] evolution shows that he's trying to become that 

[25:04] all day, but we know he's been scrolling through 

[25:08] can't even tell Nikki about the cat though shows 

[25:13] yeah, she might potentially be put off by the 

[25:18] he thinks that she wants. She then says, "Open 

[25:23] flustering him. Babe is just one of those terms um 

[25:29] just say it as being a friend. Um and I do think 

[25:33] saying it to the bowman, he starts secondguessing 

[25:37] for her, only to be interrupted again, this 

[25:42] or more specifically um Czechov's description of 

[25:48] a gun in the breakroom safe. So yeah, that's how 

[25:52] and they all do their shots except for Bear who 

[25:56] he doesn't like alcohol. Ian and Nikki then run 

[26:02] He actually confides in the character who offers 

[26:07] on an act, but he's just too obsessed with Nikki. 

[26:11] on in the car as well, which when he tells her, I 

[26:17] back to their table, we also see Nikki take Ian's 

[26:22] there. When they leave, it's nowhere to be seen, 

[26:26] things close to him behind. He then says that he 

[26:30] bed and begs Ian to take her home. Highlights how 

[26:35] different things and ultimately aren't on the 

[26:39] instead. And we watch as Nikki goes and gives 

[26:45] $20. She takes it from Sarah and then gives it 

[26:50] But Bear is blinded by love and he loves her for 

[26:56] and he's kind of missing the thing that's right 

[27:00] "Get your girl home safe." And Nikki says, "Get 

[27:05] And I thought the worst thing she could say is, 

[27:10] to call when the loss of his cat finally hits. She 

[27:15] what she said. Nikki then says she's not happy 

[27:20] bear though, this is the place he gets to be with 

[27:24] work. It shows how different they are, though, and 

[27:29] him. To write her story, she needs to feel loved 

[27:33] jaded by things with Ian. This is where they 

[27:37] script actually had a longer monologue here that 

[27:41] "I don't think romance is real. I think love is 

[27:46] Then your parents split or they're so miserable 

[27:50] love fades, it's a mirage. They're wrong. Romance 

[27:56] I want to write. The good, the bad, the ugly. Real 

[28:02] says that Be's the only person she can talk to 

[28:06] wall. This is why I feel her life changes due to 

[28:12] nothing in common with. This is why I feel 

[28:15] especially as she tries to pro him to find out 

[28:20] a friend and Nikki says that when she has a crush 

[28:26] knew she was banging Ian. However, I feel like 

[28:31] make it obvious, she does actually like Bear. Do 

[28:37] to tell me. She wants him to step up though and 

[28:42] to. Now, look, I know there's people who disagree 

[28:47] reject him, but I don't know. Um doing it the day 

[28:53] my interpretation is that she's asking him 

[28:57] and then. But his failure to do so is ultimately 

[29:03] the pair would have potentially got together, 

[29:06] wish for it even more pathetic. Ian even says in 

[29:12] he misses the chance here and then does something 

[29:17] had what he wanted there and then. Uh, so yeah, 

[29:21] of people that think the opposite. I can totally 

[29:26] just look at her face when he says they're good 

[29:32] fantastic use of music here as well as he tells a 

[29:36] It plays and slowly builds up, but cuts sharply 

[29:42] though, it's like one of his core memories. Uh, 

[29:47] a Hail Mary, he then calls her Freaky Nikki, 

[29:52] cruel. Expect that Ian has been talking about Be 

[29:57] is something she recognized as Ian's idea. He then 

[30:02] actually inspired by a pen that Bock used to play 

[30:06] cactus. The willow tree is also commonly connected 

[30:11] branches of it are used in a lot of stuff dealing 

[30:16] that allowed the witch to control people made from 

[30:20] music then cuts as it breaks and she comes to the 

[30:25] something's off with her as well as she says she 

[30:30] jumble. I do even wonder as well if she's merging 

[30:35] up bringing the cat up. She then asks if he wants 

[30:40] weird. Now, I feel like the entity at this point 

[30:44] fully taken over. Nikki is still able to break 

[30:50] kind of acting weird. She even laughs at first and 

[30:56] horror becomes clear. This is something that gets 

[31:01] a backseat passenger in her own brain much like 

[31:06] me a lot of Hereditary, which is also a film about 

[31:10] sight in Bear's room, much like the grandmother 

[31:15] what's happening on autopilot similar to Peter 

[31:19] crying from Ari assa's other movie Midsar and 

[31:24] working though Nikki is a lot different and India 

[31:29] the X trilogy I personally feel that she's the 

[31:33] where she absolutely loses it as she goes to the 

[31:38] makes things far more unsettling so far we've 

[31:44] we kind of having this missing is a bit unnerving. 

[31:50] crouches down smiling, which is even freakier. She 

[31:56] creepy thing about this is how she's acting 

[32:01] back and clearly creeped out, even though this was 

[32:06] he knows he wanted something genuine rather than 

[32:11] gone from a self- assured layered person to a 

[32:17] Bear refuses to go in or take her to his house 

[32:22] manipulation. It invents a story about her dad 

[32:27] her in this state. If you ever seen uh like 5,000 

[32:33] the fakers will often use a cancer diagnosis to 

[32:38] basically keeps them on the hook and stops them 

[32:43] leave someone in that state? But the entity acts 

[32:49] by using any means necessary. Sadly, because Be's 

[32:54] question the story. Arriving at the house, we can 

[32:59] being like a bit disappointed. However, the entity 

[33:05] around the house saying that it's nice. He then 

[33:10] music builds up again when we think there's going 

[33:15] in bed with her. She then takes off her top as he 

[33:20] makes the juxosition between that and the poster 

[33:24] the song televisions by current Joyce. She starts 

[33:29] sudden she snaps out and the real Nikki takes over 

[33:34] how she doesn't want to go through with this, but 

[33:39] stopping the whole thing at this moment and trying 

[33:43] downplaying how bad it is. Nikki even tries to 

[33:48] it and that this situation wasn't his fault. 

[33:53] situation even though she's really the victim, 

[33:58] stuff, you'll see the victims often end up doing 

[34:03] sorry, blaming the outburst on a panic attack. She 

[34:08] sympathy, but Bear is clearly shook and he decides 

[34:13] bottom over his head, kind of showing how she's 

[34:17] the one wish Willow and we see he's using a Google 

[34:23] Reddit comes up as well and this movie's version 

[34:28] the one wish Willow is a Mandela effect and this 

[34:32] also calls it a collectible sensation. That's 

[34:37] some collectors just keep it sealed. Like a real 

[34:42] answers and one username is called Bernsteeen 

[34:48] effect case in which people debate the spelling. 

[34:52] but I think it's likely because of the bear 

[34:56] you disagree. You also see someone mentioned that 

[35:00] he seemed a bit weird. And this might be a reach, 

[35:05] a reference to Barker's previous movie and cereal 

[35:10] yeah, with it being Barker on the phone as well, 

[35:14] laptop, goes back to Nikki, and seemingly shrugs 

[35:20] shares his bed with her and wakes up to find that 

[35:24] Uh, this is just completely normal as it has no 

[35:30] what love is is completely blurred in its mind 

[35:35] inappropriate for something that you love. The 

[35:39] and it further plays in the obsessive worship that 

[35:44] you can also see her weird fast movements that she 

[35:49] and it further highlights that something isn't 

[35:54] together and though she seems normal, things start 

[36:00] the boss for using the word Karen in a derogatory 

[36:04] thinking his mate got his end away. The framing is 

[36:09] chat, Nikki slowly goes behind the counter and 

[36:14] between asking if he slept over as well, he also 

[36:18] thunder until Bear looks at her and she does a 

[36:24] he's afraid of what Sarah is going to do, hinting 

[36:29] me wonder why he didn't just nudge his pal towards 

[36:35] that he doesn't really care about women's 

[36:39] going through something, but doesn't bring up the 

[36:44] has cancer. Well, not the fact, but you know what 

[36:48] and on a second watch, we immediately know why. 

[36:54] and the fact she's never brought it up just seems 

[36:59] has that Be's taking advantage of Nikki later on 

[37:04] with her. But yeah, he's the one taking advantage 

[37:09] how though the background's blurry, you can 

[37:13] Ian then theorizes she might be on Molly again 

[37:19] he's going there to get the truth as she probably 

[37:23] the end of the shift and Bear says he can't 

[37:27] Seems very strange on the surface though, but does 

[37:33] link for her for 2 years. They then talk on the 

[37:37] of Molly that we mentioned before. This is through 

[37:42] considering genies are known for granting wishes. 

[37:47] quite interesting as well. We can see that he's 

[37:52] Part of me even wonders if he actually hastened 

[37:57] week. He's also asked how to know if you've been 

[38:02] and how to woo a girl. He also looked up how to 

[38:08] song for the movie as it's all about anxiety. We 

[38:14] looking all nice and says she shouldn't have taken 

[38:18] take advantage of her which is probably something 

[38:23] her home. It's also trying to make him lose his 

[38:28] about their relationship. We then get confirmation 

[38:32] even been confirmed to her by Ian trying to mess 

[38:37] things for him around Christmas, which might be 

[38:42] We then get a perfect romance movie montage where 

[38:46] and it looks like everything that Bears ever 

[38:52] know, your classic romcom montage. It's like the 

[38:57] the lust fades and you either make or break for 

[39:02] Bear can't deal with all of Nikki's obsession 

[39:07] pair kissing which you could chalk down to him 

[39:12] time. It's also the read that he's concerned as 

[39:17] he's wondering if something is going on with her, 

[39:23] then see them looking at a post which appears to 

[39:27] a sweater." Now, I can't tell if this is just 

[39:31] but it's something that seems very sweet on the 

[39:36] wears some of Sarah's skin, which this moment 

[39:42] um, which is obviously a copy of a human's 

[39:47] uh, which is in a way much like Wish Nikki. shows 

[39:52] just like the waitress at the start to bear though 

[39:57] him which is very sad to see and Sarah even looks 

[40:03] him as they watch TV and he moves her head back 

[40:07] her obsessions getting in the way of things for 

[40:12] that's that fixated on him cut to the restaurant 

[40:17] is some great writing as well as after bear 

[40:21] much reverence for their time in school. Here 

[40:26] earlier as well, the couple are in the same 

[40:29] and we see what happens when Bear tries to break 

[40:34] and he says he's been told he's a private person. 

[40:38] closed book, which is something that she referred 

[40:42] that they're separate entities and that Wish Nikki 

[40:47] says he wants to be a food critic as a joke, which 

[40:51] puts his cat in his pack lunch clutch. He then 

[40:54] that Nikki's dad isn't ill. Again, the framing 

[40:59] the whole time as Bear walks closer to the camera. 

[41:04] shot before and just an evolution of how she's 

[41:09] also in front of a tree carving, which is there to 

[41:14] that Nikki tells Sarah she friend-zoned Bear and 

[41:19] she then gives him a tiger's eye that's been 

[41:23] interesting as well as Bear originally went to 

[41:27] with Willow and said Nikki would hate that. So, 

[41:32] her which he should pick up. Plus, there's like a 

[41:37] and yeah, this is someone that she's only been 

[41:41] brings confidence and willpower and it's clearly 

[41:46] might empower her to come back. He then realizes 

[41:51] loves him more than anyone in the world. This goes 

[41:56] she becomes enraged and we get that instant 

[42:02] this no is actually the real Nikki saying no 

[42:08] the entity then takes over, makes it weird, and 

[42:14] break the illusion, sends her off the deep end, 

[42:19] though, he just agrees that it doesn't matter, 

[42:24] [ __ ] harrowing. Uh, as she's just completely 

[42:28] much like the real Nikki's going through. 

[42:32] of the movie, though. Um, and yeah, just very, 

[42:37] And you know why you cheeky booger. On her wrist 

[42:41] which is supposed to represent protection from 

[42:46] and no matter what she does, she's not getting rid 

[42:51] with a face messed up like we touched upon before. 

[42:57] run about the room holding a plant pot in front 

[43:01] when the mask starts to slip and to keep Bear 

[43:06] she then screams, "Stay!" Apparently, Never had 

[43:14] actually have a higher vocal register. Bear then 

[43:19] which yeah, to be fair, your trim is scuffed. 

[43:24] and the obsession is making her try and inflict 

[43:30] though, and is actually annoyed that she's doing 

[43:34] you're doing? Let's not do that. During this, he 

[43:40] book. Uh, but you might notice that the book's 

[43:45] love the lingering shot of her and the characters 

[43:48] his sketches, then you'll know it's something he 

[43:53] horror. He then says she had a bad dream and 

[43:58] reminds me a lot of Alien after Kane got the 

[44:02] something trying to appease him. She then does 

[44:06] end of Pearl. In fact, that movie's credits show 

[44:11] movie ends with a now unpossessed Nikki crying 

[44:16] pair then kiss and he's disarmed once more giving 

[44:22] this work and hilariously he cuts her off as she 

[44:27] the restaurant, like it was cute when he wanted 

[44:32] bored with it. He's built up this ideal Nikki in 

[44:38] Instead though, he's got an obsessed crazy 

[44:42] to deal with her warts and all. And again, be 

[44:47] where Bear sees that she's taped the front door 

[44:52] only Bear's reaction. Barker explained that the 

[44:57] made of tape and only a few parts were actually 

[45:01] piece. Nikki just wants him to stay home the whole 

[45:06] She's kind of become um a bit like a pet or a cat. 

[45:12] doesn't really have anything else to occupy her. 

[45:17] which is how he finds her when he comes home. It's 

[45:23] her to scuttle off, but see how her life's nothing 

[45:28] frozen in place, symbolizing the fake image that 

[45:33] and doesn't want to move as Bear is the only 

[45:39] get together and sometimes isolate themselves and 

[45:45] causes friction amongst your friends. And that's 

[45:49] the party as he's now a part package with Nikki at 

[45:55] I think might be his childhood one as there's a 

[46:00] which she took in secret but it gets even weirder 

[46:05] asleep and this is clearly a cry for help as we 

[46:10] is basically spelling out to him that they'll like 

[46:15] her own free will. as he starts to be creeped out. 

[46:20] and not willing to wait. Now though this is about 

[46:25] reference to how Bear took a shortcut and skip 

[46:31] way. It's also funny how he's sitting there 

[46:36] calling back to how he just used the waitress at 

[46:40] a party and he confronts her over what she said to 

[46:45] for two years almost gets revealed here, but she's 

[46:50] into another art school and her dad just coldy 

[46:55] Bear used his one wish for something selfish when 

[47:00] go and realize her dreams. This is something 

[47:04] wish to free Nikki, he just wishes for money for 

[47:10] down in the dumps and she rests her head on bears. 

[47:14] lunch. Gets revealed that his sandwich is a sand 

[47:20] have done that joke a lot better. There is a good 

[47:24] H but the revolution makes him puke in the bin. 

[47:29] him further choosing to ignore the truth rather 

[47:33] the night after the shift which is completely 

[47:37] bare and he's all alone playing in in the feeling 

[47:42] by him. But unfortunately he can't tell anyone. 

[47:48] even more alone than before. Ian then asks for a 

[47:52] car had an engine light. However, I feel this is 

[47:58] to Bear. Ian knew his friend would give him a lift 

[48:03] Bear is adamant though that Nikki is fine after 

[48:07] told it looks like he's taking advantage of 

[48:11] This is also why he didn't invite him over and he 

[48:16] would just be a boy's night. But yeah, Sarah has 

[48:22] He then attempts to rehearse what he's going to 

[48:26] can't come to the boys night. Just before he gets 

[48:30] plays and he decides to call the customer service 

[48:34] Curry Baker. And I love how the guy on the phone 

[48:39] nonchalant. And I've also been there during a call 

[48:44] you'd like to cancel your wish? No. No. No. No. 

[48:50] that that was basically his one chance to cancel 

[48:56] The fact he says no though means that he can't and 

[49:02] making it sound like I could put in a request. 

[49:07] It's a hilarious exchange though. But the guy says 

[49:12] make it any less real. He also says if Bear dies, 

[49:17] he has a moral obligation to be there for her, 

[49:21] his bed. We then get confirmation that the person 

[49:26] currently being get outed. The guy on the phone 

[49:31] hear her screaming in agony. You want to talk to 

[49:41] parts of the movie as I just imagine what she 

[49:46] clearly watching everything happening in front 

[49:51] from a couple years ago where it said um said a 

[49:56] earth's core and upon putting down a microphone 

[50:06] and that has stuck with me for a long long time. 

[50:11] that Wish Nikki's been waiting in the living room. 

[50:14] now as she's messed herself up and clearly needs 

[50:20] upset over his cat like it's nothing. However, 

[50:24] the boy's night and then screams when he tries to 

[50:29] going and Bear caves into just letting her come 

[50:33] store and they play drinking Jenga. Now, a bit of 

[50:38] actually burned down after filming due to the 

[50:43] to the movie and we watch as one of the dudes and 

[50:48] was all a plan to separate the pair, as everyone 

[50:52] We also don't see what her forfeit is, but seems 

[50:57] revealing something embarrassing. I expect the 

[51:02] intoxicated and then lose control, similar to when 

[51:07] we think Nikki did like Bear, but there have 

[51:12] mentioned earlier, this poem was written by Curry 

[51:16] Gredle. In it, the pair have grown up and now 

[51:21] Previously, you know, the pair would just brother 

[51:25] as like the friendship between Nikki and Bear. In 

[51:31] that it's wrong. But Gretle says how she'd flail 

[51:36] wasn't really into Bear and that she was then 

[51:40] this as Nikki apparently said she sees Belle like 

[51:45] her to love her and thus she feels wrong. There's 

[51:50] writing and how she will force Bear to be with 

[51:56] who knows things are wrong and Nikki will cause a 

[52:01] though, but yeah, Indie is absolutely captivating 

[52:07] excellently. The story also mentions that love 

[52:11] conjure. So I do think this is more likely entity 

[52:17] totally silent and she says it's a new book she's 

[52:21] more likely that it's Entity Nikki and how it 

[52:26] after this she asks him to kill her. It's Bear's 

[52:31] the guy swapping places with him. However, they 

[52:35] was Bears. And had he picked this, then he would 

[52:40] left. I do wonder as well what might have ended 

[52:45] some alternative version out there where we see 

[52:50] Bear has to kiss the person to his left, which 

[52:54] never let that happen and stands up frowning, 

[52:59] excellent in a meme on the internet. also feel 

[53:04] guy who's even entertaining kissing someone else. 

[53:10] pursing out her lips. She's now also removing his 

[53:16] hey, maybe you should think about that more, mate. 

[53:21] Having never felt the love they do. She then says 

[53:25] I'm not." And this freaks everyone out, especially 

[53:35] She then smashes her head like the like 

[53:39] are so funny. And even when they drive to 

[53:43] completely ignoring what just happened, which 

[53:48] Bear argues as we just see her get out 

[53:52] and she just wants to stand outside. He then asks 

[53:58] how Sarah likes him. We then see how he just 

[54:02] how beautiful she was. It's not how smart and how 

[54:08] and now she's damaged her face. He hasn't even put 

[54:14] he's more down in the dumps for himself than he is 

[54:19] more annoyed at her than he is at himself. He then 

[54:25] she says, "I'm your freaky Nikki." This of course 

[54:31] of her as it's something she'd never actually 

[54:36] but what Bear wants is for the real Nikki to like 

[54:40] it at all and that if you know something's fake, 

[54:45] um that we've mentioned before when talking about 

[54:50] world. In it, this basically gave people a choice 

[54:55] with all its ups and downs or live in a simulation 

[55:00] chose reality, and it's something that I think 

[55:05] unhinged backward walk and according to the script 

[55:10] just in self-preservation mode, though, and this 

[55:15] of the movie. Bear then offers to let her have the 

[55:19] using that as a way to manipulate him. And another 

[55:25] as the voice on the phone said, he has a moral 

[55:29] a very poetic way of describing her death and 

[55:34] feel like sand and this will just wash over her 

[55:41] in that it's almost comforting. It's what makes 

[55:51] Or you could stay. Sarah then texts Bear. She 

[55:57] I'm not sure how good of an idea it is to meet uh 

[56:02] a car park. It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's 

[56:06] Nikki pleads for him to kill her, and it's 

[56:11] Someone pleading for death must be in complete 

[56:17] but he simply doesn't care. He then says, "What 

[56:22] says she's never been with him. Again, this 

[56:26] as wish Nikki is a completely different person. 

[56:31] the actual Nikki he wanted and instead has been 

[56:36] something evil. At this point, I think he fully 

[56:41] despite Nikki's pleading. He realizes just how 

[56:47] talk to another girl. Bear then tells Sarah that 

[56:51] even though he knows it's a lie. He's using 

[56:56] because he knows she won't look further into it 

[57:00] as well as Sarah says Nikki needs therapy and 

[57:05] It's vastly different from Ian who insinuates 

[57:10] been secretly sleeping with Nikki while Sarah 

[57:15] different perspectives. It also shows that Ian 

[57:19] the one taking advantage. And it does indicate 

[57:25] on how to date her. Sarah has also got her last 

[57:31] interesting wording as this is her last chance 

[57:36] Earth. He then says he has sleeping pills which 

[57:41] wonder if he somehow slipped them to Nikki. 

[57:45] in the corner. So I think the sleeping pills 

[57:50] it's another form of control. Sarah then breaks 

[57:55] however, it wasn't romantic. She then hints that 

[58:00] which she is here to as well. And there were 

[58:03] filmed and Barker said to Polygon that there was 

[58:08] him. He said it would have been heart-wrenching 

[58:12] which is really interesting, but I do prefer the 

[58:17] kept ambiguous. Barker explained in that interview 

[58:22] date. Hence why he's pushing his best friend 

[58:26] though by Nikki, who arrives and smashes Sarah 

[58:31] Barker's previous film, Milk and Cereal, uh, where 

[58:36] but I love the way that the horn kind of honks 

[58:41] death that takes the film to the next level. Niggy 

[58:46] but it's what he wanted. She blames him and says 

[58:51] could then try and get out of this again and turn 

[58:56] just very passive about the whole thing. They 

[59:01] then Bear heads home. He stops to open the letter 

[59:06] fact accepted by the art school. His selfishness 

[59:11] just as Nikki's now missing out on hers. I love 

[59:17] And yeah, just a horrendous way for her life to 

[59:22] man and tries to find the one wish Willows. This 

[59:27] assistant pretends that they just don't exist. 

[59:32] complaints and yeah, when a guy comes covered in 

[59:37] how they can sell this to people, but is told that 

[59:42] not them making the wishes. The person who buys 

[59:48] reverse his wish. And we then get a cut where he 

[59:53] him having to face up to what he's become. We 

[59:58] love to know what he wished for. Maybe more one 

[1:00:04] item itself isn't cursed 100% as you can word your 

[1:00:10] obviously going to backfire. He then tells Bear 

[1:00:15] do it for him, but as we see, she just wishes to 

[1:00:21] though, he then goes to Ian, and we learn Nikki's 

[1:00:26] see how that works out in just a bit. Going to 

[1:00:30] to get him to go around and remove him from Bear's 

[1:00:35] will often remove them from those around them, 

[1:00:40] Bear then reveals the one wish Willow and gives 

[1:00:44] wish. Selfishly though, he chooses a $1 billion 

[1:00:50] ultimately, this is what leads to his death. And 

[1:00:54] practically using platforms, which is such a cool 

[1:00:59] also survive after Ian's death. And Barker did 

[1:01:04] a billion dollars in cash is uh you know, a a lot 

[1:01:10] money would just come falling down and crush him, 

[1:01:14] around, but ultimately he doesn't get to spend 

[1:01:19] weird shrine for him, and the lotion bottle is in 

[1:01:24] walks behind him like long legs as he tries to 

[1:01:28] she's turned herself into Sarah, complete with 

[1:01:32] even wearing Sarah's scalp complete with her 

[1:01:37] quickly turns into the exorcist when Nikki starts 

[1:01:42] but we know there's only one way out of this and 

[1:01:47] being feral at the door and then uh yeah, just 

[1:01:52] wants to hear. And when it comes to his death, he 

[1:01:56] psych himself up with his gun and rubs his chest 

[1:02:01] Charlie prepping himself to be stabbed in Scream 

[1:02:05] is again I think an homage to milk and cereal. He 

[1:02:11] brave. He then takes the pills but can't really go 

[1:02:16] puke. So even that he's not able to fully follow 

[1:02:21] But during this Nikki has made her wish, which 

[1:02:29] He then goes out and I love how 

[1:02:32] other. And it reminds me a 

[1:02:41] That is such a random reference from things I 

[1:02:46] camera then pans down to the wish and Bear finally 

[1:02:54] to be a romantic movie, but it's actually a video 

[1:02:59] shooting herself, unlike Bear, Nikki comes too 

[1:03:04] friends. Now, Barkcat has confirmed that she'll 

[1:03:08] an openandshot case. Bear also reflects his cat 

[1:03:13] having taken the pills. It's also really a homage 

[1:03:20] that Romeo thinks Juliet's dead only for him to 

[1:03:25] though and she'd taken a potion that basically 

[1:03:30] he'd done and then also takes the poison herself
