It really should have been a horror movie where she finds out he's been awake for years and she's actually the seventh or eighth woman he's awoken.

No, after he seduces her and they start dating, one night she wants to surprise him and goes to his room and finds him talking with faceless propped up naked corpses while having tea, wearing some woman's face and doing a British accent.
>Yes, my dear, that is quite extraordinary. Indeed.
Then another night she finds recordings of him watching her while she sleeps and drawing flies on the screen

The exact reason the movie flopped. It came out during peak feminist metoo scam hysteria. They labeled the movie problematic because he woke her up.

If he was the kind of guy who would make the monstrous choice to strand more than one person in the same shitty situation he's been forced into, then there is no moral dilemma at the core of the story. As spelled out rather on the nose in the third act, the drowning man will always reach for someone to save him, but it's not interesting or reasonable if he's 'killing' multiples.

Of course, there's always the dumb "It should have been a horror film" from Auroras perspective, but that's just dragging out the "What would it take for a good person to make a monstrous choice" dilemma that the film already deals with in the first act into being all the film is.

As the film is, the 3 acts explore desperation and loneliness in the first, regret and deceit in the second, understanding and forgiveness in the third. To me, that's a better film than just a cheap horror twist that only explores desperation.
>>
>>220128726
But he was never in any danger, he was never "drowning". He was just a sociopath.
>>
>>220128554
It's more that they labeled it problematic because they gave him very understandable reasons for waking her up, and showed the reasonableness of the choice instead of the film treating him like a horror villain.
>>
>>220128771
His choice was suicide or waking her up, did you somehow miss that? If death isn't danger, then what is?
>>
>>220128817
>If death isn't danger
It isn't when it's made up. He's never in any real danger.
>His choice was suicide or waking her up
His choice was not being a pussy and not ruining other people's lives.

Based.
The horror idea is in the middle of the bell curve.
You are at one end, and then all the "I had fun" peeps are at the other.
>>
>>220128870
What does "When it's made up" mean? Are addictions just made up because it's an internal problem, not an external one? I agree that if he was a better person, he would have just killed himself instead of making the choice to inflict the same situation onto another, but the film is about exploring a regular man, who has a need to socialize and be with other people, who cannot deal with total isolation, pushed to make the choice between death or waking up another.

That's what makes him drowning, it's picking between killing himself through suicide, or dragging another person with them. Those are his choices, death or waking her up.
>>
>>220128726
The movie is an apt allegory for how women would rather men die alone than ever empathize with them.
>>
>>220129003
>That's what makes him drowning, it's picking between killing himself through suicide, or dragging another person with them. Those are his choices, death or waking her up.
He makes the wrong choice because he's a weak, immoral piece of garbage. Tons of men could withstand the loneliness and even become better men in the process. He doesn't because he never found God. A literal subhuman bugtoid.
>>
>>220129003
>What does "When it's made up" mean?
Because death is not coming for him, never. And even if it were, why the FUCK would you ruin another person's life? Even if death literally showed up and said "you either wake up that woman or you're coming with me", a real man would pick the latter. As this wasn't the case, and this "death" was never coming and he could have done a million other things to pass the time it only makes him more pathetic.
>push yourself to suicide
>oh shit, death is coming for me, what do I do now??????
>>
>>220129078
>He makes the wrong choice
Yes, exactly. Because he is drowning. He is not a saint, he's a man with flaws and wants and needs put in a horrible situation. Some men have indeed found themselves in total isolation and dealt with it for years on end, but guess what, those men also didn't have the choice of ending their isolation dangling as temptation right in front of them the entire time.

The film explores making a monstrous choice through first showing what lead to the choice, then the consequences and finally resolution of that choice. The film isn't justifying the choice, or making Jim out to be a role model, he's just an average normal dude forced to pick between death or stranding someone else.

he didnt wake her up for that, he woke her up because of the real pain of loneliness. which is much more profound than just a physically dangerous situation


i totally empathise with the guy. how many people today commit suicide out of loneliness and despair? and to feel like you have an easy way out, by one simple moral transgression, how many countless people through out history have made that deal? sure it was wrong, but its a human mistake that countless have made

and he redeems himself at the end by offering her the pod WHICH SHE CHOOSES NOT TO TAKE

its her choice at the end

the only reason people hate this movie is because they've been blinded by ideologically and lack the ability to empathize

>>220129170
The film spends most of the first act showing everything he does to try to pass the time. His isolation puts him in the situation where he realizes he can't go on as is. So his choice is death or waking Aurora up. Guess what, the film, me, almost everyone agrees that was he a better man, a role model, he would have just killed himself instead of waking her up.

Do you expect every character in every film to be morally perfect, to not have personal flaws and sins?
>>
>>220129256
>he would have just killed himself instead of waking her up.
There's a third choice, nigger, that's what you don't get.
>>
>>220129303
If you think just living on the ship alone is the third choice, bitch the film spells it out that's not an option for him. He's on the brink of committing suicide, just inches from pressing the button, because he can't go on. Fear of dying overwhelms him, runs from the button and trips on the bottle and sees his other option, waking her up. Had he not tripped on that bottle, he would have been back at that button the next night, the night after that, every night until the pain of loneliness would overcome his fear of death.
But by all means, what is his third choice if not what I thought you were thinking?

No people, there is nothing sympathetic about him. Loneliness is no more of an excuse to murder someone than your local Dindu Nuffins have to murder a bodega owner due to slavery. It's an excuse.

He did a horrible act of murder out "muh feelings". He wasn't sympathetic. No men wanted to place themselves in his position. And the "chemistry" or lack thereof, that happened later was absent or forced. You didn't like him.

And he wasn't even an interesting sociopath like Patrick Bateman whom you knew was the bad guy and his wild antics made him attracting.

The funny thing is we all know women wouldnt even blink twice and wake up a mechanic. Like they wouldn't even feel bad about it. They would "demand" ro be saved. And not even thr audience would fault a women for waking up somwone to save her.
>>
>>220129459
Who do you see excusing his choice or saying it was morally justified or that he was sympathetic? The two you quote explicitly says he made an evil choice, that he was wrong to wake her up.
The film is about a normal man driven to make a monstrous choice, and then if there is anything at all he can do to make up for that choice.
>>
>>220128256
Not sure he was sarcastic.
>>
>>220128266
If someone did that, waking a young woman, rape her until he's sick of her and then murder her, but introduces each one to the robot bartender, would the robot's programming ever end up trying to stop him? Or would the robot go along with it each time as long as Jim told him to do so?
>>
>>220129548

Yes friend, but they PUSHED a romance, chemistry (non existent), a love story, and it was vomit inducing. They wanted you to linger in it and you couldn't because you hated him.

All of that plus the woman becoming ok with it in the end. Even though everyone on the ship would have died had him and the deck chief, plus someone to help, not been woken up, the movie outcome was still considered worse than thousands of deaths.

this is the only valid critizism you've raised. it isnt a light hearted rom com, and if you went in expecting it to be you'd have a very negative view
>>
>>220129604
I think you need to go watch the film again because you clearly missed out on all the nuance. The second act does not play out like a lovey dovey cheesy romantic comedy, it does not justify Jim's choice to wake her up.
The film shows Jim immediately regretting the choice, it shows his hesitancy to go near her, to approach her, to respond to any of the signals she sends that she wants him to ask her out. And the entire time, there is the looming weight of their isolation and inevitable death on the ship hanging above them. They are not happy, they do not look towards a bright future together, they are simply stuck together.
What the second act does is make Jim a better man so in the third act when the story asks him to make the sacrifice for others, like he couldn't bring himself to do in act 1, he does so without hesitation and without regret.
>>
these films are rated 15 (R/whatever), right?

it's so weird we're on this dark, psychological reality kick (everything wants to be Black Mirror) and yet we deny basic reality. as though the audience are children.

look at a film like Straw Dogs. it feels like it's made for adults, but it's incredibly straightforward. then take Hollywood High Concept Sci-Fi Horror #3491. everyone's jolly gung-ho pals, with maybe one guy who's secretly evil or a traitor, but in a moustache-twirling way.

in fact, the phrase i'm avoiding is everyone acts 'like a movie' but why? movies don't HAVE to be this way. look at, say, Being John Malkovich: a dyke would totally use JM's body to rape a straight woman. duh.

is everything just Marvel movies for adults now...? don't give me some Twitter post about how I'M watching 'shounen', i want movies themselves to be better.

Look at this thread. Zoomers can't into hypothetical situations because they don't confront moral dilemas in the real world, they just sit behind a screen and judge others. They can just say "I would do the right thing and you're an evil nazi if you disagree" because nothing ever happens in their life that challenges them

Killing everyone on board, then send missiles back to Earth and every other ship to kill everyone else. I'd be the last living being, alone with God, and I'd BECOME God, and by becoming Him, I'd return to the source. One with the universe.

Movie's an allegory for the creation of men. Man was not made to be alone, so God created woman. This was made clear when you saw he felt lonely no matter the entertainment and he craved for female company.
