I SAW THE TV GLOW 🩷

Hello Tumblr, I came back to post this because I am very normal about this movie - anyways here is art!

[green-green-grass]

if you haven't seen I Saw the TV Glow i would recommend doing so immediately

Something about the name of the show. The Pink Opaque. Something about no one looking at Owen at the end of the movie. Something about being transparent. Something about being opaque. Are you seeing the connection?? Is this anything?? Is any of this anything?????

Finally got around to watching I saw the tv glow and I’ve had an incomprehensible sense of dread ever since 🙂‍↕️

the time jumps in i saw the tv glow make me so fucking insane and i can never let it go. 2 years, 8 years, then 20, each jump taking more and more out of owen as we watch him decay into a painstakingly unvariable excuse of a protagonist. no matter how big of a jump in time, we never really feel like we've missed out on anything at all. the only real change we experience is what monotonous, yet colourfully and visually overstimulating job he's trudging through, all to live the unfulfilling life he feels is the most safe. no known ambitions, no known lasting relationships, even the family he says he loves more than anything feels less like a feat, and more like a giant step back in the journey we know he needs to go on.

3 decades pass in the span of an hour and 40 minutes, a speed that would seem overwhelmingly fast, yet we stay tuned into the comfortability of that perpetual survival. we know what's going on, and we dont need to play catch up if there's nothing to catch up on. yet despite that comfortability of knowing where and when owen's stuck, it is killing us to know that the potential of what he could be and experience goes unacknowledged through the painstaking amount of years. and it's made all that much worse when we're forced to remember that the slow death we're watching is all the more real, both literally and figuratively, to owen.

as soon as i added a very vague letterbox review for this film some guy from work texted me and it took me .5 seconds to realize he had no idea what the plot was actually about… certified ‘bruh’ moment lads

[Image ID: A series of screenshots of dialogue from the visual novel We Know The Devil. The dialogue reads:

Jupiter: Could you just...

Jupiter: Couldn't you just make me?

Neptune: Do you want it to not be your fault?

Neptune: Do you want me to make you, so you don't have to take responsibility?

Then, a series of screenshots of dialogue from the movie I Saw the TV Glow.

Owen: After that night on the football field, I locked myself inside. I didn't leave the house for days. I kept waiting for her to show back up to force me underground. But she never did. End ID]

okay but the passage of time and how owen is played by two different actors but maddy isn't. maddy is the one who runs headfirst towards who she is, even though it scares her. owen at first is growing, is changing, but once he refuses to leave with maddy he stagnates. and so even twenty years later he still is his high school self. he never grows and changes and becomes isabel, and so he stays the same.
