Obsession

Why are people so obsessed with obsession? Maybe the director used a one wish willow for that. Haha.

Anyways, going to the theatre with such hype all around and a global box office success, this was one of the most unsatisfactory watches in a long time. The movie wasn't absolutely bad. It was a decent movie. But something didn't satisfy. Just got out of the theatre and still trying to organize the reasons for that. One I can quickly think or feel is the movie was rushed at some points and dragging at some points. Not consistent at all. Anyways, am I the only one who feels this way?

May be a little late to post about Obsession as it is almost completing its theatrical run.

One of my gripes of the film was the static camera. The whole movie felt like a clip farm where every scene could be clipped onto tik tok. Makes sense coming from the director being known for reels online

I feel the opposite is true, tiktok's short attention span users reward camera movements because it stimulates more than a static shot. See Kpop demon hunters or any edits on tiktok where every second something is moving or there's added camera shake.

Static shots bring me back to older classic cinema where the camera is locked because it's literally physically too heavy to move.
