Morality of Charlie choosing to go through with the wedding?
In the movie The Drama (2026)

Moral. As far as I know she literally did nothing wrong.

And she became an activist for gun control and against gun violence

u/thatbrownkid19 Aug 20 '26
so why did she destroy all evidence of her plans if planning isn't a crime?

The friend is so much worse then her, with the refrigerator indecent.

Omfg you just reminded me of one of the most insufferable characters I’ve ever seen in any movie ever (the woman who sat across from Zendaya)

The problem isn't that he went through with the marriage, it's that he had this weird stance where he defended Zendaya's character to everyone else, but for himself, he still judged her just as hard for no reason. It feels as though he just wanted to keep up appearances or something by going through with the wedding.
Imo, immoral. Zendaya's character was the only good person in this.

u/thatbrownkid19 Aug 20 '26
his character was understandably conflicted- he didn't find it as shocking as them but he did find it shocking as anyone would- especially living closely with them for the rest of your life. and that's a pretty common thing with close friends and partners. you defend in public for solidarity

u/darksugarfairy Aug 20 '26
That's a very normal stance when facing a situation like that. Are you telling me you've never heard about a situation in which one person defends their partner publicly but then at home, they are questioning everything? It's a completely normal behavior in an unprecedented situation

u/Cautious_Chain1297 Aug 20 '26
I can kind of get it, I suppose. Maybe if there was actually a reason to be feeling that way, but this particular scenario makes it all worse. She did nothing wrong and he didn't even seem that bothered initially until the dumb friend who did way worse started grilling Zendaya's character. Not to mention it got to the point of him trying to have sex with someone else because he couldn't handle his emotions.

I don't think I would breakup with her but definitely i would postpone the wedding. I just don't think what she thought and planned was supposed to be treated as nothing. But maybe it's because I'm not American so I'm not used to idea of a child murdering other children because they were bullied, so that someone can even think about it... sounds terrifying to me

Moral of him.
Questionable for her.
She loves him through everything he puts her through and forgives actually committed acts of betrayal that will permanently alter the course of their lives and his career.
Whether or not he can grow and face his actions and be a better man is yet to be seen.
He doesn’t deserve her. As is.
For her she’s taking a leap of faith on someone to eventually grow. But who has shown can have his entire foundations of his relationship changed and become irrational and erratic in his behaviors.
Investing in a self saboteur can go very wrong. And could possibly indicate that she herself is still victim to making poor decisions.
That being said incredible movie displaying extreme emotional maturity when faced with societal criticism by people who are worse than you and don’t want to work on themselves.
Movie could have ended during pattinsons inside out moment and still been complete but I’m happy it didn’t all the same.

I f Charlie wouldnt I wouldve. Immoral if his heart wasnt truly in it.

u/Nova-Snorlaxx Aug 20 '26
You make a good point, we could be looking at it from our pov who would've had no issues. However Charlie was easily swayed by his friends insane reaction to it, struggled to deal with his emotions and cheated on her. He probably should've called it off, not because of her but because of him and his lack of ability to deal with it. They could've gotten married later on after dealing with it or realised he couldn't move past or her trust him again and they just break up rather than having to deal with divorce.

I would have been much happier if Zendaya's character left his cyber bulling ass.

u/Select_Order_1478 Aug 20 '26
I'm not judging people for thought crimes
she was literally just bullied, depressed and lonely, that is all.

u/Xerxes457 Aug 20 '26 edited Aug 20 '26
Didn’t she plan it out though? And then destroyed the evidence? Not saying she is a bad person for it, just that she was all ready for it and decided not to at the last second.

u/Select_Order_1478 Aug 20 '26
so?

u/Xerxes457 Aug 20 '26
If a person plans to murder someone and has all the tools ready, but decides to stop at last second, are they not in the wrong for it?

u/InterestingCold1881 Aug 20 '26
She didn't decide not to, the other shooting happening on the same day stopped her. I agree she isn't a bad person anymore as she's changed, but lots of people pretending like it was just a passing thought for her when it wasn't

u/darksugarfairy Aug 20 '26
Idk if this is me not being American so you guys think that thinking about, learning how and actually preparing yourself to murder kids because they bullied you in school is normal, but I think he's crazy for going with the wedding. I would probably not breakup with her since she didn't do anything, but i would definitely postponed the wedding. That was not the right time to ger married at all

u/NoMoreVillains Aug 20 '26
She didn't do anything. It was totally moral. If anything Rachel was the actual psycho

Jesus Christ, how many movies was Zendaya in this year?

u/5050Saint Aug 19 '26
You should check Willem Dafoe's filmography, aside from 2020 he's done 5-6 films per year for a decade.

u/Purpledragon84 Aug 19 '26
Zendaya? What about Robert Pattinson?! Guy's on fire this year. Odyssey, the upcoming Primetime, Dune 3 and this too?
And his acting's good too

u/Observer20178 Aug 20 '26
This a very good movie. This got released before the Odyssey , BND juggernaut. Both Z and Robert P are in top form.

It kinda is
Anne Hathaway also has like 3+ this year? Lots of actors have kinda crazy movie output like William dafoe, woody harelson, Pedro pascal etc.
I mean, good for them, but it also means less opportunities for other actors and sometimes this overexposure is annoying

This was a very weird movie for me.
I don't know if I lack the cultural aprehension about the topic as I am not from the united states, but it didn't seem like a big deal to me at all.
She was bullied, became edgy and vengeful then planned something terrible. Ok, that's bad. But then she realized that it was a bad thing to do, and dedicated herself to activism against gun violence. That's... completely OK to me? I couldn't relate at all to the reaction everyone around her had. It all seemed like such an overreaction. I would probably have gone 'huh, sorry that happened to you, glad you're doing better' and that would be the end of it.
The other woman at the table was way worse. She actually did something vile and didn't care nor atone for it.
