To be clear I don’t mind that Bella is a Certified Freak Seven Days A Week, I’m just annoyed the movie actively refused to be about ANYTHING ELSE.

There isn't a single person on jjk reddit that I respect the opinion of. I've never seen so many stupid people gathered in one place with the single goal of smacking their empty heads against their keyboards until a sentence falls out. The hairball my cat hacked up onto my carpet has more intellectual appeal to me than any comment I've seen on that sub within the three times that I've visited it. At this point, I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't even understand a JJK For Dummies picture book if Gege himself narrated it to them.

Ok I just watched "I Saw the TV Glow" because I thought it'd be a good thought-provoking movie I could use for my final paper for a class and I just cant believe what I'm reading in reviews. Maybe this just comes with the territory of being trans and knowing what the feeling is but how can people say there's no story???

Unspell checked Rant below

Sure the acting feels awkward and the characters a bit cringe but is that not part of it? I'm not trying to make excuses if it really is bad acting but can we try thinking, just a bit? If they (Owen/Isabel and Maddy/Tara) are indeed in some fake world that gets better at fooling you over time wouldn't they be bad at acting as someone they aren't.

I know their conversations are heavily criticized but wouldn't they be awkward confronting eachother just as cringe kids who like some weird TV series? I mean when they talk on the bleachers they're like 3 feet apart but when the movie cuts to them watching The Pink Opaque together, they're damn near shoulder to shoulder. Cant you see the correlation?? Not just in the trans/gay allegory but just socially awkward with anxiety and neuordivergency? That's what conversations and interactions with me look like with me too. Especially with someone I don't know how to talk to without relating it to something we both like of anything. I just can't respond as much as I try to, it's on of my biggest flaws.

Maybe it's because I was documentating everything as it went along so it cataloged better in my brain but there were so many little things that lined up. How can you say the story doesn't make sense there's so many callbacks to the things the characters say and do. Just Maddy/Tara saying that the longer Owen/Isabel waits the longer she'll suffocate and remembering that Owen/Isabel has asthma and an inhaler. They've been suffocating since childhood, knowing something was wrong.

Isabel was described as a bit scared but still strong and brave why would Mr. Melancholy bring her into a world where she's still that? It'd be easier for her to escape. Of course Owen is meek and a coward. He was put into an environment (dead/subservient mother and misogynistic dad) to make him that way so he naturally had no courage to try and get out and save himself. Maybe it was the original slight meekness that Isabel had that was intensified to make Owen like this.

Compared to Tara who Maddy described as headstrong and taking no shit. Maybe that's why Maddy could escape because her traits being intensified didn't stop her even in the abusive environment she was in. Additionally she's been living in the world a bit longer than Owen and had more time to realize things. Even if she took a chance and was scared to do it in the end. Maddy woke up to being Tara and she was frazzled it even worked and immediately came back to save Isabel in a desperate plee. Of course she sounded fucking batshit crazy to Owen. If my best friend who disappeared then told me I could go back to my real life (what is shown as just silly TV show) by killing myself id fucking run away too. Mr. Melancholy designed the Midnight realm perfectly, I mean to escape you have to fucking kill yourself by burying yourself alive. Of course Owen wouldn't try to leave or look into what Maddy is saying.

Of course as time goes on and the world looks more real, the TV show Maddy was trying to say was real life looks like a corny TV show rather than how "realistic" it was before. But Owen would still think about it as you think about about mistakes or lingering thoughts from your past. But even after seeing the truth (that nothing was inside him another callback to the bleacher conversation) Owen still wouldn't try to go back to the real world because Isabel is more Owen than Isabel. Too meek, too scared to take direction in their life (since the ending seems cut and dry that Owen doesn't go back from my pov). Isabel has been in the Midnight realm too long that they're identity-their personality has morphed and collided into Owen's. The ending makes so much sense to me.

Maybe the acting and story is bad and I'm not looking at this right but I just cant get on the hate train.The movie doesn't have to "shock you" even when it trys to for it to be worth something, if you catch my drift. A couple of times the way the actors acted or did things make me cringe or say things made me cringe but thats the way story was told and it doesnt diminish the entire thing.

There is something horrifying about unknown forces working against you to erase something you maybe once were but not knowing for sure because you're too scared to explore. And that you have to kill your fabricated self, someone you see still see as YOU to find a way out. The world is scary as mundane as it may seem. You feel somewhat safe in the false identity you've built-maybe the one built for you-one you're forced into. Even if depsite it your still not safe whether it be abuse or social pushback. But you feel like if you keep going with that fabricated self that lie you can make it better more comfortable to be in. That's what Owen did but Maddy-Tara refused to.

Maybe the way the metaphor is presented is too still is just too silly for people to take it seriously. But I'm just so flabbergasted by what I'm seeing people say. I see the payoff even if the bow its wrapped in isnt a pretty one. I'm not saying this movie Shakespeare or profound or unique but something worth saying is there. Even if you don't see it as trans allegory and it's something else like mental health, can these people not see themselves in this story? Don't you feel something?

I'm sorry to anyone who saw this being marketed as a horror film and were disappointed to not see the monsters and gore they were expecting but this is horror to me.
