The in universe show mightve been compelling if they didnt make it suck so much ass.

Will this movie help me to understand trans mental illness?
>>
>>215366198
Why didn't you like it? I thought it was great.
>>
>>215366696
What's there to understand.
There's either some kind of identity disorder which gives person constant thoughts that they're the wrong gender or there is a fetish that has been taken way too fucking far, which is also a mental illness just a different kind. The latter is more prevalent now than before, this is also why there are so many "transbians" who are basically straight men with a crossdressing fetish.

Certified trannykino. You might be in denial

Visually it's one of the best films of recent years, the atmosphere is great. Aside from tranny metaphor a lot of people can relate to the general theme of not doing something early in life which you desperately felt like doing. I don't like the main actor, and I did feel like the 'tism voice he did was a bit too tryhard. The soundtrack was great. I basically only really disliked the acting on the main actor, and the voice of the moon guy was kind of awkward I guess too. It didn't seem to try to make trannysm seem like something super nice and wholesome, the metaphor for coming out is literally burying yourself alive.
>>
I liked it and didn't even know about the cameos.

Not as it's an aside. It's more about doing weird fan rituals, bonding over a shitty TV show, hanging out dangerously with teenagers and the sense of freedom felt during such activities. It's a >tfw piece and i reckon it'll be hard to get it for someone who's never experienced any of these young and strange evenings spend breaking the rules and the social taboos.

Channel zero and candle cove are similar but without the other allusions.

This guy knows, unfortunately on here there is people who didn't get allowed to be around friends outside of school. They were never allowed to be alone until they are 18.
>>
Keep it rolling, baby!
>>
>>215368188
Channel Zero show kinda sux and is, well not poorly made but very bland and generic. The trans flick is actually good from the filmmaking perspective at least, and there's enough there for it to be more than just about the trans stuff.

This girl at summer camp, she went to live in squats whenever she ran away from home, child services must have paid to send her to summer camp. Dragging me away during the town outing to go buy a pack of cigarette and smoking in an alleyway all rebellious and illegal with her coarse long black hair and her apparent tolerance of my presence around her.
>tfw
She was into painting and body odor, real hippie shit. Young, skin firm, who cared about perceived social status.
Rallying the entire corridor at night to move all of our mattresses to a common room like gypsies, to hang out, just because we weren't allowed to leave our rooms at night so we did it. Funny sexy massages ensued and she liked my back massage.
>tfw
I thought this movie was more about that. About being accepted where you never thought you could belong by someone you shouldn't be hanging out with.
>>
As for the dressing up as a girl scene. It's like a dream and suddenly comes on like a cherry on top of the plot cake. It makes sense that these sorts of things would happen to this character in this situation because he's bonding over a girl's TV show with a looney girl as an insecure friendless boy and incarnating basically Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the sake of his new friendship. There's a lot to unpack about dat feel.

In the age of Fantasy from the Screen feeling more real than our mundane and disappointing world: i too saw the tv glow.
>>
I saw the TV glow?

It was alright. Actually related to some of it, the ending genuinely got me emotional. I just think a lot of its cool surreal and liminal imagery was wasted on something that's so obvious about its themes and symbolism. I mean, I get there's a place for it, but it's what bothers me about most psychological horror, every metaphor has to be resolved. Nothing ever just gets to be surreal, everything has to be an analogy.

There was two different endings one after the other as if they didn't know which one they wanted to go with. I didn't like that.
What was the point of the "i fixed my life and got a house" ending, the kid's not normal enough for that.
>>
>>215369077
I kinda took that as him bullshitting. I mean, I never for a moment believed that he actually had a family now and we sure as hell never got to see them. I figured he was just this sad guy living by his own and working a dead end job and his breakdown at the end was supposed to represent that catching up to him.

I've watched this movie and never get it was supposed to be about trannies, because I don't even think about them.

The psychedelic scenes were great.

When you are the moon, the best form you can be is a full moon. And then the half moon... he's all right. But the full moon is the famous moon. And then three-quarters, eh, no one gives a shit about him. When does he come, two days in, to the calendar month? He's useless. Full moon. The moon. The main moon.

I have this narrow kind of autism where I understand subtext and metaphors and layers of meaning, but I also react to everything in fiction on a literal level and have I think an unusually high ability to suspend my disbelief.

I watched I Saw the Tv Glow, I got the whole very obvious metaphor, I know what its really about, but at the same time I liked the movie in large part based on the literal concept of characters from an absurd 90s tv show being trapped in a more realistic false reality and slowly dying unless they can get out. Its very compelling to imagine realising "reality" is some dated supernatural teen tv show, but because thats reality everything in it is actually dead serious, and you are dying in that real life. Its a very vividly portrayed, weird and creepy scenario to insert yourself into

Well that's a big problem since he has to deliver 90% of the dialogue in this movie.
I'm a troon and this movie was boring and bad
