Sosie Bacon as Dr. Rose Cotter • Smile (2022)

[msnihilist]

Recently rewatched the movie "Smile" and I've been having Thoughts™ about it.

It's a horror movie where the main gimmick is that the MC, Rose, starts seeing these "things." They look like people, but they're just hallucinations. They appear and smile at her, a wide, terrifying smile. The longer it goes on, the worse her mental state gets and the more frequently they appear.

It's a metaphor for suppressed trauma, obviously. These things that she sees are horrible, but they're smiling. And there's smiles all over the movie, usually in the background in the form of art or photos. The entity is always smiling.

I think the ending of this movie is very interesting, because Rose actually confronts her old trauma that she's let fester. She watched her mom die of a drug overdose when she was 10 and never got past it.

Interestingly, her therapist brings this up when Rose goes to her initially about the hallucinations. Rose wants a prescription, and her therapist insists that she's just stressed and her old trauma is manifesting as a result.

And the crazy thing is that her therapist is right and Rose denies it, anyway. She doesn't want to face her own memories. She wants to find a way to break the curse, she wants pills to make the visions go away, she wants the people in her life to have blind faith and believe her with no real proof.

Rose wants the easy way out of her trauma and the entity denies her. Even at the end of the movie, when she finally goes to confront it, it's too late — because Rose has already hurt others. Her trauma made her push away her ex and her fiancé, she traumatized her sister and her nephew, and her friends think that she's a danger to herself.

The damage is done. She's been dead since the beginning, because the entity never would have targeted her if she hadn't let her trauma consume her in the first place.

Psychotic Blorbo Battle: Hal 9000 (2001: A Space Odyssey) Vs Doctor Rose Cotter (Smile 2022)

[Vote for who you think is a better psychotic blorbo!]

Propaganda/diagnoses below! May contain spoilers for these medias.

Hal 9000

Diagnosis: Schizophrenia (headcanon)

Propaganda:

"He is canonically described as developing what would be called psychosis in human terms, specifically schizophrenia. He was given orders that conflicted with his very being and was unable to accommodate both, and developed paranoid symptoms that were directed against those monitoring his performance back on Earth. He started imagining a fault in the antenna unit and attempted to break the radio link with mission control."

Dr. Rose Cotter

Diagnosis: Brief Psychotic Disorder (headcanon)

Propaganda:

"From the link you gave, Brief Psychotic Disorder. In the movie, she's affected by an entity that causes hallucinations and feeds on trauma, and the curse of this entity is passed through traumatizing another person (usually with the cursed one killing themselves in front of another). I chose Brief Psychotic Disorder because the entity ends possessing the person and making them kill themselves after, like, a week, so she doesn't reach the one month threshold of the other diagnosis. Even with the whole "demonic entity that feeds on trauma" schtick, this movie has a really good and realistic representation of mental illness, which is surprising for a horror movie. It shows specially the struggle of people ignoring what she thinks and believes because of her situation and trying to help her in the way they think it's best."

Supernatural horror besties

these three have something very specific in common besides being modern horror movie heroines but I can’t get into it without spoiling all three. That doesn’t matter so much for Drag Me To Hell because it came out so long ago but it might for Smile and definitely might for Talk to Me.
