>>220878753Anyone else feel like he was originally supposed to be white to set him up to be a failure and get put in his place by the therapist woman, but at the last minute they switched him out for a black guy for DEI points but now it doesnt make any sense anymore because its saying blacks are bad now?
>>220879212you forgot>gets killed by a black pirate
>"did you hear what she said?">"we don't have to change">Gets killed Was the therapist in telling him he couldn't change?
>>220879350*right
>>220879072You're almost 40 with a rapidly receding hairline and you're still making these immature teenage level jokes
>>220879350I don’t get why his copy suddenly turned against him after seemingly being docile with him for around a month at that point. And was his copy just super violent because he’s a quick to anger person (and maybe abused his wife)? There are so many people who fit that description you figure the place would be crawling with them.
>>220879378You're dying right now.
>>220879306No
>>220879350if u think about it. he was killed by his own monster because he was ok with staying the same. this says a lot about society

I wanna see this but don't have time to go to the theater. Anyone have a rip they can share?

>>220879418>>timmyLiterally zero white chads feel bothered by this retarded slur you're trying to meme into being popular (it isnt)
>>220879403But the copies are just mindless golems. Pirate Clark isnt his literal connected subconscious fighting back.
It’s almost like this thing is a monster and Clark is crazy
>>220879350She's pretty useless for a therapist. That was just her throwing up her hands and giving up because she's clueless on how to help anyone, herself included.

>>220879414It's on the streaming sites. >>220879457She was massively shit as a the rapist, but all women are.
Buckrooms kek
>>220879457Did someone in Hollywood get fucked over by a therapist or something? I’m noticing an uptick in movies that show how ineffective & even adversarial therapists tend to be with people who actually need the help. Joker & Backrooms immediately come to mind.
>>220879442>>220879498>t.seething timmy
>>220879350>>220879457the movie is a metaphor for how therapy is a load of shit
>>220879449Pirate was such a shit design. Movie fell off hard past the midway point. Best part was the found footage bit
>>220879505Huh? Hollywood loves therapy
>>220879418I wonder if women get mad when they get with a guy and find out he wears a hair piece

>>220879418How much time would this take? Also, what's up with so many young gen men being bald as fuck?
How about instead it was called the Blackrooms and-Oh.
>>220879593Why are you bald? I'm not, but it's literally just luck. God rolled his dice and fucked us over in different ways. I have health and body issues you baldies wouldn;t want to touch, but a full head of hair.
>>220878753>the black character blames everyone but himself for everything>his white wife leaves him>gets 2 white coworkers killed>his white therapist is repulsed by him>he learns to find solace in perpetual self-pity and mediocrity, a private hell of his own making>finale is an evil black man chasing down the white woman before she fights back I wasn't expecting this movie to be so based.
>>220879551doesn't matter, they have no right given how much fake bullshit they wear
What was the point of the therapist backstory flashbacks? Am I too retarded to understand the relevance or were they just superfluous?
>>220879527I was born a tall white god that women all over the world want to fuck. Why would I be seething again?
>>220879683To show just how selfish and delusional Clark really was.
>be a man>show emotion>dieAs shrimple as that. Men should open up more about their feelings btw.
>>220878753It is what it is. These types of movies rarely have good writing. I was rooting against the main characters the entire time.
>>220879390there’s a few ways you can go with that scene:- he wasn’t calm (he had told her to be calm before, around the copy)- it followed from him eating the copies, so he gets eaten, like pottery- it just shows how volatile and irrational he was so was inevitabledon’t think they really thought it through honestly, but those are the most obvious ways you can interpret it
>>220879079Problem Child 2

Affirmative action existed in the 90s too. > supports a woman who doesn't have a damn job of her own> Discovers a weird dimension, decides to map it out like pic related, instead of doing the smart thing and getting the fuck out.
>>220879551I'd rather date a guy who does this than stays bald. better he keep test flowing in his balls with a wig than be a hair woman
>>220879765>>220879306No because he's based on a real black furniture guy from the 90s.

>>220879157The actual JAVrooms
>>220879900you shouldn't have said "than" stays bald if you meant you want them to stay bald, idiot. what are you, an ESL?
>>220879730It isn't connected to him and shouldn't be "changing" after the fact.
>>220879551It comes across as kinda insecure
>>220879915>calls other people ESL and can't understand Englishnot my problem pajeet
>>220879683She is presented as a cool collected not insane person selling self help books with speeches about "opening the window" to be free and escape your self made prison of a life by doing things differently.Then you find out she has deep seethed mental issues that she cannot resolve herself, she carries a concrete handprint of her insane mother that kept her as a hostage in her own house as a souvenir of the only close person she had in the world, she is taking pills to not flip out in social gatherings where she feels suffocated and constantly wants to revert back to being a shut in as long as it means being back with her mom, and all that shit about opening the window to be free and escape your terrible life by doing things differently is all just a callback to how she was never able to open her literal window to scape her crazy mother back when she was a child, in her mind she is still trapped in her house unable to open that window and exiting.Thematically, the backrooms as a whole are, figuratively speaking, an immitation of her childhood trauma, everything is a mess, chairs and furniture lack any purpose beyond barricading the doors, the moldy food and dirty clothing and garbage smells fill the house and sunburnt yellow papers erase the existence of any windows or exits, replacing them with more and more wall, walls that she would need to go through if she wanted to escape, all while her psychotic demented mother wanders around the house with a yellow sweater, chasing her around as her surroundings deteriorate like the memories of a dementia addled brain.When Mary enters the backrooms looking for clark, she's not just in the backrooms literally, she has been in the backrooms all her life, down to the pitiful but dangerous incoherent giant person preventing her from exiting (like her mom when she was a child), preventing her from going "through the wall", from crossing the window disguised as a wall and escaping.1/2
>>220879765>if the main character was white you would be bitching about Hollywood portraying white men as evil retards
I don't understand the ending. Was it just sequel bait to SCP?
>>220879683yea, what crashed through the wall in the flashback?
>>220879350She never believed anything she said and projected her own bullshit about walling off others onto him. It's her in backstory about how her mother never let her outside. Clark was a failed architect that refused to accept his failure and clung onto his dream while desperately trying to numb the feeling. I'm entirely sure his wife was a bitch because she was freeloading off him and even in his ideal validation scenario she doesn't listen to him. Clark was a POS don't get me wrong, I was mad about Robert and Kate, he doesn't take accountability for anything, but Dr. Kline was a scam artist. Kline literally tells him she can't fix him and hates his whining, then projects her own neurosis onto him.
>>220880017Probably cops to drag her mom to the loony bin
The script was bad and too much was made up on the spot as they made the movie.They really just tried to make a straightforward backrooms movie but got sidetracked trying to make it deep, but there isn't enough there for it to work. Like you are just supposed to assume that Clarke is a bad person who blames everyone except himself, but we don't see that in the movie.We don't see Clarke doing anything weird or act unreasonable until he snaps. The only thing that stands out is that Clarke drinks, but we never see Clarke drunk. He doesn't pass out, he doesn't puke, he doesn't get violent. His alcoholism is surface level ''this guy drinks sometimes.'' His issue is that his store is failing but we don't see it ever being his fault. He doesn't really do anything, there is no scene of customers arriving and he scares them off because he is drunk or has a bad attitude.The entire extent of him treating his employees badly is that he gets pissy and tells them to stop filming after he falls down and breaks one of his chairs.The story relies on plot points that are not in the movie. We never even see why Clarke even values the input from the therapist. It's never even brought up that Clarke is spending money on a therapist who is useless while his business is failing.The movie is hoping that you will write the movie in your own head. Every time anyone talks about anything that happens in the movie and their theories, they are taking two sentences that are real and 99% of what they say is complete headcanon, basically writing their own script.
>>220880051Well let's see what you come up with when someone gives you 10 million dollars to make a movie.
>>220880051Exactly correct. You can very obviously tell this movie was written by a young person who didn't make it past the first outline or draft. Things just happen because his bullet points say they do. It's really amateurish. If you're gonna have this dramatic angle but then don't bother to develop it, then you might as well not have it at all. Just make it a found footage film and do what you know best.
I want to see the javrooms now
that scene where the white womyn scolding the black guy is problematic. We should cancel this movie
>>220880051The issue with Clark is that we never see Barbara, he sees the furniture business as a temporary way to make money until he can become an architect. So if his wife was (at 30 years old) going to college with him paying for it, he's banking on her doing the same for him after, he says this in the sessions. He doesn't care about the business at all, when his cameraman tells him if he wants to retake or asks why he's even a pirate in the Ottoman Empire rather than a sultan he just writes it off as if his low effort take was enough. The guy clearly wanted out of his situation, all of his flawed character points were never suggested by the film itself they were suggested by the therapist who turned out to be even more of a headcase than he was.
>>220880075To me it seems like A24 meddling got to him. Like they told him that Clarke just has to be an alcoholic because it will be so deep, but the drinking age in US is 21 and Kane is a well behaved guy who has never had a drop of alcohol coming from a good family where no one drinks so the entire extent of Clarke's alcoholism is ''my wife broke up with me because I had 5 beers.''A24 convinced him to go into directions where he had no clue what he was doing.In the interviews Kane is up front about how the story developed as he was talking to the actors, but the actors sound like a bunch of yesmen who simply back any idea and think it's all brilliant. Scenes are reliant on conversations between Kane and the actors, which we didn't hear. Where the two main actors talk to him about their deep characters, convincing Kane that he is making some masterpiece, but it didn't get put on film.
>>220880051>The only thing that stands out is that Clarke drinks, but we never see Clarke drunk. He doesn't pass out, he doesn't puke, he doesn't get violent. His alcoholism is surface level ''this guy drinks sometimes.'' His issue is that his store is failing but we don't see it ever being his fault. He doesn't really do anything, there is no scene of customers arriving and he scares them off because he is drunk or has a bad attitude.The point is that he is supposed to be a bit of a tragic character, not a villain. The general plot makes it feel like a modern version of something you'd read out of Edgar Allen Poe. The real weakness of the movie is the therapist. She doesn't really have much of a character arc, and doesn't develop much of a connection to Clarke (even on a platonic level, Clarke is always just her patient). She's just vaguely similar to Clarke because she has her own trauma/weaknesses, but she never confronts them and you never feel she "earns" her escape/survival. She's not event tempted by the place like Clarke was.Imagine if Shelley Duvall in The Shining was just some nurse that showed up to drop off medicine for Jack at the Hotel and was never his wife and no kid in the picture. Very sterile.
>>220879812youre an obsessed chud.He is literally nothing more than a common furniture manager. There is no magic negro bullshit or any woke writing surrounding race in this movie.
>>220880051>>220880075My feeling watching it was that the zoomie had an idea of what he wanted to do that wouldn't have had much of the final plot in it, then the "veteran writer" that they paired him up with tacked on the plot to try and steer it towards a more traditional hollywood horror picture. Because the plot is paper thin and just your typical textbook "movie plot" plot that feels completely out of place. I wish they'd have given the zoomie a proper chance, but he was probably just involved for the marketing aspect.
>>220879683>>220879981When Mary finally confronts Clark, she says out loud what she has always known but has never acknowledged, she cannot save anyone.She couldn't save her mother, only lock her away, her literal last moments togheter are boiled down to a stare of disbelief and betrayal.She couldn't save clark, she could only chastize him about his shortcomings and treat him like a nutcase when she was the only person he had to share his pain with (and of course because she went into the backrooms completely unprepared.She is not only powerless to help him, but outright malicious as she advises him to stop trying to change for the better, only to witness afterwards how the figurative worst parts of him eat him alive.And finally, she couldn't save herself, she stays up late in her tiny home watching her own ads about opening the window while dining with her concrete handprint, she cowers in fear staring through the courtain when clark storms off her office, even after managing to somewhat fightback and escape the pirate, she still looks back to him like she's seeing her mother, unable to let go but incapable of doing anything besides fleeing, and once A-sync takes her in, she's still staring at a closed window, still unable to open it, now A-sync is the psychotic entity preventing her to leave, and the backrooms, well, the backrooms copied her old house, her new house, her office, her bedroom, herself, she's is trapped either way and there are no windows to be opened.2/2
>>220878753He was in interracial marriage it was his fault
>>220880204After he showed Kline the backrooms map, the first thing she asked is if he was drinking he said he hasn't been for a week and laughs it off like she was joking. The only person who thought he was an alcoholic was her, that same session was the one where he talks about how you can't explain fully a dog to someone who has never seen it before. He was always an incomplete character.
>>220880051This.
>>220880051>>220880185>>220880204The worst part of all of this is that the most popular backrooms skits primarily focus on the backrooms itself, what happens when you get stuck in there, and what 'else' is in there with you. This movie was never meant to be about characters and their personal lives. The movie seems to be going in the right direction when Clarke shifts his focus to the backrooms and brings his employees with him. Now we're about to get exploration kino, people are going to get lost, something is going to show up, we're going to go from room to room. Then they just stop completely and start doing flashbacks to the therapists childhood trauma. She randomly decides to look for her supposedly violent crazy patient, sees a fly phase through the wall and does the same thing. Like, why? In what universe does his therapist give a fuck when she knows she's selling snake oil? They kill off all the other characters to focus on her when she has no substance or relevance to the plot. Due to the nature of the backrooms, she's no more important than anybody else. It's like she exists just to have a female lead in a role. The backrooms is really supposed to lean into a scifi horror due to the idea of liminal spaces and how they defy the laws of physics and reality. Somehow the movie was about trauma instead. A real waste of a real backrooms set. It actually pissed me off knowing that he wasn't lost at all and just went in and out as he pleased with no difficulty. You're not supposed to simply escape the backrooms by drawing a picture and walking around.
>>220880255>>220879981The backrooms has pieces of everyone in it, not just Mary. Your entire point is moot. The backrooms grabs from everyone who enters, she never needed to enter, she just did for ??? reason.
>>220880250I'm convinced that they ghost directed this movie and slapped his name on it for whatever reason
>>220880002It’s the same shadow org from the YouTube series. Pretty much the only part you’ll get confused on without prior knowledge.I was really happy to see Mark Duplass as the scientist.
>>220879782>I'd rather date a guythat's pretty gay, man
>>220880382nothing wrong with being gay
Skinamarink vindicated.
>>220880051I agree that Clark’s wrongness is largely informed and told rather than actually shown (hence the thread)The worst thing I think he does on screen is not warn his coworkers about the potential for hostiles, and that’s pretty much it.>>220880347It’s not a matter of entering. Clark’s pirate form was killing people before he even went in.
>>220880255So who was Robert and Kate to Mary if it was all her? Clark never mentioned them in the sessions, why do they show up on the lost posters at the end of the movie? Like I can kind of see the significance of her last scene with Clark. There's these degraded poorly constructed memories of people compiled with inadequate data, she's talking to the real Clark, then she snaps and admits she never cared. Clark gets killed by a caricature of himself because Mary stopped seeing him as a person that could change. Like why did she even react when she saw Kate's head in the fridge? She never saw her before in her life.
>>220879079Backrooms
>>220880234There is nothing that tragic about Clarke until he goes insane. His furniture store is a dead end but he isn't poor on the verge of going homeless. Doing a job you don't like to make enough money to survive isn't tragic, it's the average human experience.Clarke lives in America in the 90s. If his furniture business doesn't make him enough money for him to save up money and go to college or whatever the plan is, he can just sell his furniture store and go make decent money at McDonald's.Maybe that's because the movie is made by a guy who became a millionaire before he even turned 18. To him working a real job is the tragic horror. But for normal people there should have been more. Few things that could have sold Clarke as a tragic character>have him really drunk, show that he is dependent on the furniture store because it allows him to minmax his drinking as he can start drinking before the store closes and get all the booze in his system as fast as possible so he can work sober the next day>show Clarke reject offers to buy the store, too prideful to quit and go work a normal job>show that Clarke doesn't have a home and has a locked room where employees are not allowed to go in, it's where he keeps all his stuff and livesThe movie didn't do anything. We are just supposed to take their word that Clarke is a tragic character because his store sucks and he drinks a little alcohol that doesn't seem to affect him
>>220880240Don't care, not watching your interracial movie with a black "man" and white roastie as main characters in the name of woke bullshit
>>220880429It still doesn't make any sole person relevant. In fact, it makes everyone on the planet relevant.
>>220880396i mean genetically there's a lot wrong with it but it's your deadend existence man, do who you want (that's if you've ever actually gotten this far)
>>220880051>The movie is hoping that you will write the movie in your own head. Every time anyone talks about anything that happens in the movie and their theories, they are taking two sentences that are real and 99% of what they say is complete headcanon, basically writing their own scriptBut the entire movie and ending was quite literal and fully explained. Nothing is open for interpretation.
>>220880462>show that Clarke doesn't have a home and has a locked room where employees are not allowed to go in, it's where he keeps all his stuff and livesYou literally see him living in the store.
>>220880508surrogacy exists
>Anons saying "Therapy good">therapist doesn't tell him his real problem until she's trapped in a pocket dimension and needs to tell him in order to get out what was her problem?
>>220880518if you're not going to a psychiatrist, you're wasting your time
>>220879157Oh no don't chase me busty Japanese woman!
>>220880277It doesn't even seem like she thinks he is an alcoholic. It never comes up. She just asks him if he is drinking because he is talking nonsense about some rooms that go on forever. It's not a serious question actually asking him if he has gone full wetbrain.The only people who think he is an alcoholic are the audience who just have to assume that is what it is because of basic filmmaking. If you see someone drinking you just have to assume that they are either an alcoholic or it's a scene where they hit rock bottom.Clark seems fine which makes you wonder what even is wrong with him because the movie doesn't show you. If it's not the drinking, is it that he is bad at running a furniture store? It doesn't work.
>>220880504The black guy is the monster and the white woman kills him. Such woke.
>>220879418jasus that's exhausting just watching it with timeskip cuts
>>220879079The Shaq Rooms
>>220880429>The worst thing I think he does on screen is not warn his coworkers about the potential for hostilesI don't think he even saw a hostile entity until the two of them were dead. It seems like he didn't even see the non-hostile people and the only hostile creature was his pirate clone who wasn't hostile to him, so how would he know it was hostile if he even met it before?I've seen people say this a lot, like Clarke lured people in the backrooms to get them killed on purpose and it's not based on anything. People are writing their own script because the movie's script is so bare and full of holes.Clark didn't know there were entities when he asked the two people to help him.Clark didn't orchestrate the therapist coming into her store and didn't tell a fly to fly through the wall luring her in.
>>220879350>>220879390his replica shared his psyche: it was everyone elses fault but his, so it was hostile to everyone but him. as soon as he realized he was a threat to himself, he became a threat to himself
>>220880553The whole story revolves around the idea that the therapist (the main character) is being fed incomplete information about her client. She's also a shut-in that sells wellness tapes, she's a dogshit therapist that thinks that everything can be reduced to programming, feedback loops, and wiring. She can't get close to anyone and everything is incomplete data and shitty programming to her. Clark isn't the subject of the movie, it's Mary. Also Clark was kicked out of his house and lives in the store, there was definitely something wrong with his life.
>>220880511No one who watched the movie thinks Clark is homeless and has to live in the store because he is homeless.>he used his own bed from his own furniture store to watch TV while drinking in a comfy bed, that means he has hit rock bottom and is homeless and lives in the storenopeDirect better, Kane
>>220880510retard>durr it's explained and it tells you instead of showing, that means they don't need to make a good script and hit the story beats that would actually show what they said
>>220880693Don't forget that one scene where Clarke literally drives to his house, changes his mind, and drives elsewhere.
>>220880680>The whole story revolves around the idea that the therapist (the main character) is being fed incomplete information about her client.This is not what the story revolves around. The story demonstrates the nature of the Backrooms and how it pulls from people constantly down to the worst parts of their lives. Empty, unwanted, memories.
>>220880712The directing was unclear. I thought he drove to what used to be his house where his ex wife lives, maybe to try and confront her, but then drove away.I don't know if it's his house. I don't know if I am supposed to assume his wife just has the power to kick him out of his own house and just steal a house from him.I assumed kicking out of his house meant literally removing him from the house because his wife didn't want to see him, not a legal contract that puts the entire house on his wife's name.
>>220880731When Clark sat down and strapped Mary to the chair he explains and even demonstrates that the things in the backrooms are things that exist on the surface they're just degraded versions. His wife is there too, she's just distorted and doesn't listen to him like in the real world according to him, the fat guy at the table was the handyman at the beginning of the movie. They're not even hollowed out memories they're memories that are missing some details and run on repetitive programming. It's like if you remember someone you knew years ago and you only remembered that they played a sport with no other details that come to mind. They're not capable of doing anything outside their programming, they loop endlessly around a space that's comprised entirely of poorly compiled data.
>>220880675>his replica shared his psyche: it was everyone elses fault but his, so it was hostile to everyone but him. as soon as he realized he was a threat to himself, he became a threat to himselfNo. It was just a shitty memory of how the backrooms remembered him. There was no reason for it to attack if it hadnt of done so previously.
>>220878753supposedly the zoomer had a senior writer help him but maybe it's credit only because the characters, "story", and overall moment-to-moment were borderline incoherent and severely underdeveloped
>>220879418why do so many men cling to their hard so hard? I understand that for women their hair is all they have that sets them apart from one another, but men treat hair like if they don't have it, they're less of a man? just go bald bro no one cares.
>>220880504again you are just a mentally ill politically obsessed fat chud. And that coming from someone who identifies as right wing. You are the snowflake you cry about.
>>220880705>>durr it's explained and it tells you instead of showing, that means they don't need to make a good script and hit the story beats that would actually show what they saidI never said that.But yet, the movies explain everything. Which part did you think was open to interpretation?
>>220880902Lmao the vast majority of men balding look like shit. Men with a full head of hair have always looked more masculine
>>220880832that scene was severely undermined by the double eyes when clark is prattling on about missing or blurry details.
>>220880347>What is themesNigger I literally never said, not even suggested that it's only stuff from Mary informing the backrooms, I said the importance of Mary's background to the movie is integral in tying in the overal themes of the story, which is the nigh inability to escape your past or your memories or your past distorting your future or your memories deteriorating and missinforming your decisions or something like that.You were not told her story just as filler between found footage chases.Also she went there to save Clark you fucking dipshit, she wanted to correct the way she handled her mother before (running away, locking her up) she obviously knew she was feeding bullshit to Clark and wanted to make things right (and was also probably intrigued at how clark managed to "open the window" when all her advice was bogus), she was just not expecting to find clark trying to be buddies with monsters in the dementia dimension.
>>220880959correction, men with a full beard look masculine
>>220880948Clark being a bad person with issues and a tragic character who goes insane because his brain is fucked.Everything people discuss about this movie is fanfiction taking a little kernel of truth and writing their own movie around it.
>>220880832You're making this deeper than it actually is. No character is the main character in the backrooms liminal space. Those degraded memories are all unwanted. It pulls from everyone in the world.
>>220879390When his mindset changed his copy now saw him as an “other”
>>220879636>>220879593Your hair is like a plant, it needs air and sun exposureStopWearingHatsYou fucking faggots
>>220881010Makes no sense, when he didn't want to change, it suddenly attacked him, yet tolerated him for all that time. Bad execution. It would have been better to use a giant therapist prop, or his wife's avatar.
clark is based
Should I text my ex girlfriend I've not spoken to at all since she dumped me 5 months ago and ask her if she wants to see this movie together? I already replaced her with a hotter girl but she isn't white so I reslly can't marry her. And she doesn't like horror movies while my ex loved them. I don't want to go see this alone but none of my other friends want to see it. The last time I talked to her was when she broke up with me after I dropped her off at her place. She told me she was sorry and to text her when I got home so she knew I got home safe, and I said I would, but as soon as I drove off I was so pissed she ended things right after meeting their family that I never texted her and she never texted me. Idk why she even asked that stupid shit. Like a passive aggressive way of saying "lol btw I think you're a suicide risk"
>>220880505>The protagonists of a story are not the most relevant to said story, figurative and metaphorical relationships between the literal elements of a story and non-literal symbols and ideas regarding the character's nature are spooks.You genuinely have some form of mentally impairing autism.
>>220879079boku no emancipation proclamation
>>220880959what are you, a faggot?
>>220879981>>220880255This is all fine and dandy but execution is everything and the movie doesn’t feel like it delivers all this in a satisfying way. It’s not developed enough. We don’t care about these characters enough or see them in this private hell in a visceral. Things are implied more than their show and it doesn’t mesh well with the found footage sequence that actually is more abrasive and exciting to the audience. The movie has a lot going for it but it’s an undercooked meal.
>>220881064Grow some balls and go see it alone. Your quest for companionship has you engaging in two relationships you dont want to be in. You’ll hurt them, they’ll hurt you, you’ll wonder why your relationships dont work then you’ll spiral. While the answer to why these relationships dont work is staring at you in the face. Grow up. Learn to be comfortable by yourself.
>>220881138>pajeet grammar
>>220880429>The worst thing I think he does on screen is not warn his coworkers about the potential for hostiles, and that’s pretty much it.I really don’t get this. The first time he went in, he knew there was something chasing him. How did he return so often to map it out so much with no issue, and why didn’t he bring a gun?
Or it would have been better if he said he wanted to change, but then the giant cowboy attacks him because that's the part of him that doesn't want to change. This film is a mess.
he was a manchild who got his just comeuppance
>is that... an empty room???
>>220879079Buckrooms
>>220881138Yeah i don't understand why directors/writers don't understand that audiences need to see specific titular moments to establish connections with characters.We needed to see some stage of clark and his wife together, or even the movie could have progressed through the divorce moment, piece by piece while he's losing his mind in the backrooms.The movie and concept are wasted potential that will never get explored again and done better unfortunately.
>>220881161I was comfortable by myself for 29 years. I am running out of real reasons to live if I don't get a woman and raise a family. 6 years of wagecucking killed my inner fire and creative spark. Now my hobbies are just cope and rapidly losing relevance.
>>220881049Thats what in trying to explain to you, his mindset changed from wanting to change to accepting himself and thus the copy rejected him, He and the copy were no longer aligned
>>220881168Yeah I just read it over and I’m embarrassed. It’s 3AM and I’m tired. But whatever, the point is that this movie has a clear idea of what it wants to communicate but doesn’t do it well. It felt like I was watching bullet points from a 1st draft instead of a real narrative, and little of it had to do with the actual backrooms.
>>220881213The adage about being content with your self first is the same with purpose.If your only purpose in life is "i need to reproduce", then you're just going to force a very miserable family.
>>220881219See this >>220881194 for a better way to execute this. Your explanation smuggles in the idea that copies are actively changing, and if they were the copy would have been able to get aligned again.
>>220880429>I agree that Clark’s wrongness is largely informed and told rather than actually shownThis is literally, not figuratively, the focal point of the movie. They 'inform' you with half-baked stories in therapy sessions and brief outcroppings of his life. What you get is an incredibly poor model to base a character around. You could even argue that this film's undertone is saying that therapy is bullshit because you're forced into the therapist perspective at the end and she just flat out admits she doesn't care and that everything is an unfixable mess.
>>220881212I hate movies that are so close to getting it right but just don’t for some reason. I yell at my screen in vain trying to tell the director or the writer how to deliver their idea more effectively because it’s just so obvious, but they don’t do it. The anon who pointed out that we never see him drunk and reckless, instead just taking sips of beer, summed up perfectly why the movie doesn’t work despite its good intentions.
>>220881213Wagecucking didnt ruin your fire, you ruined your fire by putting yourself in a position you didnt want. There are plenty of wagecucks with fire in them, it’s not the wagecucking, it’s you knowing that youre above it but too afraid to make a radical change.

>>220880051the movie doesn't need to tell you all of those things, it gives you enough information to infer them. why would the audience want even more time spent on drama bullshit and less on the actual backrooms and monster that they came to see?
>>220879981>>220880255Pretty good
>>220878753
I like how this movie exposes sub 90 iq midwits who need their hand held to understand basic underlying themes and messaging. Like this movie isnt even deep and you idiots are complaining that the movie didnt spoonfeed you clarks character flaws. Ontop of that, the characters dont even largely matter. This is one opening into the backrooms of many. This is literally one intertwining story of a few characters in one file in Async's research. For all intents and purposes, the main character or object of focus should be the backrooms itself. All you idiots getting hung up on a therapist with unresolved trauma, and a failing business owner are hilarious. Imagine watching a slasher film and asking for a thought provoking conversation on the camp counselors that die in the first film never to be seen again.Movie was great visually, and left areas of discussion that could be revisited upon additional viewings. Script was a little weak in some areas, but the story worked well to set up future sequels.
Shocked they made a black guy a villain, an abusive husband, and an entitled deadbeat. Gen Zyklon impresses me from time to time.
>>220880504Holy shit your dick is little bro
>>220883103It's hard to not focus on the story that is telling you, men are wired some way and can't change while women get to defeat monster and escapes trauma regardless of whatever intention the film had, this introduces noise into the perfect themes you speak of and ultimately dilutes and poisons the message especially when it's directed towards zoomers who have little life experience. That you and people who keep making such kinds of films can't see why this is wrong is the point, you might as well be the sub 90 iq midwit you keep denigrating in your post. Self imposed cultural ignorance and indifference is what it is.

>>220883103>you idiots are complaining that the movie didnt spoonfeed you clarks character flaws.It’s more that it’s generally annoying to be spoon fed “this guy is uniquely bad” exposition (largely fueled by a character who also thinks/knows she’s a fraud) and have almost everything the guy does on screen be normal before he randomly snaps off-screen. I was far more fascinated in how he set himself up in the back rooms than whatever was going on with the therapist.

>>220879079Office Space 2: After Automation
>>220883313Again, i will point out to you that nothing that clark or mary does matters. Their lives do not matter. You are hyperfixating on shallow characters and stunlocking yourself into thinking their is some allegory to unpack here. These are flawed characters and their interaction with the backrooms is guided by their character development, meant to be observed by a 3rd party, being (you) and async. And youre right, i was being generous with midwit, I consider anyone under 110 a retard.
>>220879079Behindspaces
>HURRR THERAPY LE BAD!You sound like my boomer dad
>>220883519And again, I will point out to you that that specific trope of man bad, woman strong is noise and it deliberately poisons whatever noble, high brow themes you think you are pushing by making such a film. That you can't see the effect of such tropes on any piece of media pushed onto the general public who mostly have average intelligence means you are the midwit yourself.

>>220878753You know he had problems before the divorce, right?
>>220880511As a poor person the problem I have is he can afford to live in the store since he's a manager and gets paid high enough. Its like Al in Toy Story 2 where's he's supposed to be a loser but can't afford a toy store and an apartment. Clark doesn't have a mullet or a du-rag, and his only flaw is drinking. It's like expecting Costanza to be a loser when he's average.
This movie was dogshit. The Backrooms has nothing to do with personal drama. There is no survival mechanism. You're either perpetually running or find an exit. The whole idea of these chatacters easily entering and exiting the Backrooms and never getting lost is what ruins the fucking movie. Sad that people defend this shit.
>>220885281>The whole idea of these chatacters easily entering and exiting the Backrooms and never getting lost is what ruins the fucking movieMary got lost because she basically got kidnapped by Clark; it took a literal team of researchers to bring her back to Standard.
>>220885331Because Clarke was never lost. He chose to stay in there, meaning if he didn't lose his mind, they could've walked out.
>>220885281I thought the same at first but I also like the idea of this place obviously being a fucking deathtrap just waiting for you to get lost in, standing at the entrance knowing that it's not safe and can't end well, but still being unable to just forget it. The appeal of the backrooms is the mystery and insatiable curiosity to look deeper, not just a place that only makes you think "I want to leave".
>>220885558Her character really annoyed me when she wanted to get out. Like, bitch look at this space, don't you want to explore?

What was his endgame?
Buck status?
>>220880959Nah. indians have tons of hair and they are the least masculine "men" on the planet, even under Asian-Asians.
>>220879390Because he decides that he no longer wants any control over his actions and no longer wants to feel anything either. Essentially, he wanted ego death and he got it.That's also why he likes the backrooms so much and feels envious of the unfeeling monsters who don't even react in the slightest to being stabbed.

>>220878753>when a woman is an alcoholic she is the victim of the world>when a man is an alcoholic he's a literal monster that deserves deathwhat does Hollywood mean by this
>>220882766so why include the therapy angle at all? why not make a movie about a man driven near-mad by desperation exploring a place that only compounds insanity?
Wasn't the entire point of the backrooms being "scary" that you can't just easily exit the way you entered? The entire movie feels like a failure based just on the fact he can enter and exit as he pleases. No stakes, zero scare.
>you get noclip'd into the backrooms >hear this playing louder and louderhttps://youtu.be/bIg3rygMAukwhat do you do
>gave up a successful architecture career to....sell furnitureWhat? Even if he had to give up his job for his wife, how was that the alternative?
>>220886636You don't understand, the real horror is obviously in the hecking evil man going to therapy and going spooky crazy in the backrooms. The horror is the big scary monster chasing you.
does this mean we can expect more public domain creepypastas to have good (or at least passable) adaptations in the future?
>>220886720The real horror is that the government is wasting billions frolicking in a substrate of reality that is slowly eroding and abstracting itself and will never be of any value to mankind. I'd rather have a full fledged movie about the office workers and scientists tasked with figuring out what to do of all this shit and finding nothing but confusion, all the while the big chairs and investors put more and more pressure on them to find anything valuable. Alas what we've got is traumaslop. Because gen alpha is fucking gay and retarded.
>>220886694He didn't have a successful architecture career yetHe was good at it (this is apparently his superpower because he can map the backrooms accurately) but he'd have needed time to be a "starving artist" and establish himself and he didn't have that because of his wife so he went for a regular job he hates
>>220886636I think what makes it scary is that the deeper you go into the backrooms, the less the environment makes sense and the easier it is to get lost. Like yeah you could leave if you can find your way back but it doesn't follow any logic that we're used to, and humans are too curious not to explore further
So whyd he behead his employee?
>>220886864The claustrophobia and sense of dread of being lost forever in an endless void is a scary concept. Like getting lost in the Paris Catacombs. Having a big scary monster in there or a secret government agency studying it or what is basically is a serial killer in there takes away from the horror of isolation and disorientation from never finding an exit.
>>220886877The movie wanted to scare you with how crazy Clark became.
>>220886746the ikea scp if they make it a satire of ikea. I also think they're going to give some YouTuber House of Leaves and it will be a gigantic financial success
>>220886941You can't make a movie about people wandering around and starvingWell you can but it's boring as fuck
>>220881267My guy… i cant beleive your not understanding this, am i being trolled?Real Person and copy are psyche alignedReal persons outlook changesCopy, unable to change, no longer recognizes real person as counterpartEats person
>>220881213>it not my fault I have a gf and can't have a family because wagecuckingKys, nigger
>>22088607315 men on a dead man’s chest, me hearty!
>>220887016His outlook didn't change, he stayed there for a reason, so he had already accepted it. He literally tells her she can't navigate shit without him so he knew he could go back, this is not a revelation. It's still bad execution.
>>220886979But the shorts prove that you can. Most people agree the best parts are the VHS segments because it keeps the tension high without showing the full monster. A movie allows you to explore that concept further without needlessly adding in a therapist's plot point.
For me? It's the goofy wheelchair guy
>>220886877Pirate killed her, Clark just put what was left in the fridge to stop it stinking up the place
Why did they go for the temu version of slient hill and botched it?
>>220887083I like that he was thanked for his service
>>220886073The backrooms i guess is made up of discarded things or things you want to get rid of, bad memories, places you want to forget, the copys i assume are made up of the traumas or the worst parts of themselves that people want to get rid of, clarks copy inherited his violent tendencies
>>220886864No, the initial concept was absolutely that you end up there and don't have a clear path back out. Being able to just step back out the way you came in robs it of that.It was there for plot convenience, but as a result the main draw is gone and then you rely on increasingly unbelievable character writing to make something out of it.
>>220886941>>220887057I get what you mean, but you can't really stretch a 10 minute short into a 2 hour movie without having at least a little backstory about the hazmat suit fellas researching it. I agree that the main 'monster' was shown too much. They should have made siren-head more of a threat after only killing the hazmat guy and bobby. The VHS sequence with clark and the 2 employees should have been stretched out 20 more minutes with more exploration too. Otherwise I think it did a great job at creating unease and keeping up tension
>>220887083So what was he representing exactly? Clark's sloth?
>>220880255That sounds good, but I can't help but feel that the writers, directors, and actors see Mary's rant against Clark as 'what needed to be said' rather than abandonment.
>>220887188I dont think any of them represented him, I thought they were all copies of real people
>>220880948no one is talking about anything being 'open to interpretation' you stupid faggot. the movie is poorly written, and people are filling in the details. there is nothing to interpret. dumb cunt
>>220887174Have you seen the youtube series? It shows the hazmat people exiting back the way they came after a day's worth of research. >>220887188Either a copy of someone who had been in the backrooms (unlikely) or a memory of someone that a person who had been in the backrooms had known at some point in their life.
clark's character development (or at least the framing of his character over time) in the first half of the film was the most enjoyable part. then he goes blah blah cuh-raazzy for no reason, much like the guy from cube, and then he gets eaten.
>>220887228>Have you seen the youtube series? It shows the hazmat people exiting back the way they came after a day's worth of research.Yes, but I said the "initial concept", as in the 4chan post, not the youtube series. The youtube series videos also fail on this level as well.
>>220887054If you cant infer that his conversation with the woman in the chair changed him then i simply cant help you, carry on and good luck to you
>>220887174>>220887253The movie established that Clark and only Clark can usefully navigate the place because he's crazy/brilliant/psychically connected to it/etc.As a matter of fact the glowies could have really used him aliveOh well
>>220880311I thought the stuff literally exploring the Backrooms was the worst part. I liked it more when it related to the characters. The first 5 minutes and all the scientist stuff should have been cut and just use that time to develop the main cast instead.I liked the movie overall. A good 8/10. Pirateman was great.
>>220887286>you need to be a wizard to simply feel along the wall you entered from and go back out the way you came inI can only suspend my disbelief so much lmao.
>>220887253The initial 4chan post doesn't mention anything about not being able to find your way back. I think that's something you might have just made up in your head
>>220878775>>220879812>>220880504>The raped
>>220887311>he so crazy>does simple cartography Fucking zoomiggers
>>220887338True but it does mention how big it is which gives you the impression that it's at least very hard to escape.
>>220887275I don't care that it changed him you retard. I am saying he didn't need to be changed since he had already accepted it. The conversation was porn for female therapists. It was unnecessary. The better way to do this is to punish him for wanting to change, that's more realistic and respectable than the slop they tried to write here.
>>220887366The youtube videos and movie also show how massive it is. And that it is very hard to escape the deeper you go into it.
>>220887338Then what's the stake? You've "noclipped out of reality"The post doesn't say "Yeah there's an invisible door you came through that you can just walk back through if you want to lmao" because that would be dumb and undermine the entire concept.
>>220886659Can't wait for the chase scene edits.
>>220887422What do you think noclip out of reality means? The youtube series and the movie made it clear that there are multiple 'entrances' around the world, some are in walls and others are random spots in the ground. Are you just mad that the movie's entrance was in a wall or something? What is your malfunction >>220887370Uhhh he hadn't accepted it until that conversation. He literally asked how he can change and it's clear from the rest of the movie he hated himself but was too stubborn to acknolwedge it. When you go outside do you look up to make sure the sun is still there?
>>220879418What shaver is he using here? Looks like the one blade but different?
>>220887470Again, are you retarded? The conversation was unnecessary, him staying there for so long means he had already accepted it, whatever the conversation does is unnecessary. The next scene should have been setting up him actively wanting to change, then big clark should have come out and killed him because that's the part that never wanted to change, simple and obvious. What part of that don't you get, are you a woman, or some retard who believes in self improvement and listens to audio telling you to repeat some mantra five times every morning?
>>220887470>The youtube series and the movie made it clearI didn't think people like this actually existed in the wild. I already said I don't care what the youtube series did, as that's not the original concept and undermines it. (some of YT vids capture it well as they keep to core of people noclipping in and not being able to just exit back out the way they came in, as it should be when done properly, but the others strayed from that completely.)
>>220879079The Black & Milds
>>220887588He subconsciously wanted to change but refused to admit it. During the conversation his psyche flipped, he admitted he wanted to change but accepted that he can't. It's not that hard to follow. I recommend you study duolingo a bit more before posting on an english speaking website.>>220887590'Noclip out of reality' is so vague that you made up an idea in your head for what it means, and then got mad that the only media to come out of the 4chan post didn't follow your own headcanon.
I'm on his side
>what if humans are le real bad guysNormies can't handle reality bending horror
>>220887669He did not admit anything, the therapist is the one who authorizes that he can't change, then he gives it up, it comes from her, that's why he brought her there when he saw her, to give him permission. This is not difficult for an indian like yourself to get.
>>220887782Pleading with the therapist and asking how to change is establishing that he's admitting he wants to change. Yes, the therapist tells him he can't change, at which point he accepts that he can't change. I'm not really sure what you're trying to say at this point

>>220888081That's what the youtube series and movie interpreted from the vague 4chan post, yes.I still don't know what you think 'noclip out of reality' means. Can you explain what you think it means so I have some idea of why you're assmad at the movie
>>220888193Perhaps you should be medicated
>>220879418I rather be bald than spend 1 hour of my time doing that gay shit. If you are bald, then go bald. Embrace becoming the ugly bastard and go molest some JK or milfs

What if all the world is actually computer generated and the backrooms is just a frozen still from an early rendering phase? There is this scene in which it shows you how a regular room gets "degraded" with each passing layer until you arrive at the backrooms version. But what if its the other way around? The computer that runs the universe runs several iterations of reality until it gets it right. And the backrooms is just an early iteration of the world as it generates the current reality. The backrooms were always there, A-sync just happened to open up a portal to access them.
What was Clark doing for water in there? Did he find a working tap? Did the pirate lead him to one? Where did he poop? Is there a backroom filled with his turds?
>>220888378Water bottles. Water bottles. No. Toilets. Possibly.

I unironically love this monster, having a giant pirate monster ass your main monster instead of that stupid squiggle siren head asshole was the right call>>220879350It might not have been the same pirate? Like they said that it just copies and copies the same thingMaybe "has anger issues" got turned into "angry motherfucker"
At the table scene was it the real Clark or a copy of him that was distorted in the way that his mental issues were magnified but he wasn't all fucked up like the people with 12 eyes?
>>220888546We don’t have examples of simulacra being able to hold conversations so it’s very likely to be Clark prime
Did pirate clark kill the stoner and the guys at the beginning? Like he unintentionally solely made the backrooms more dangerous Or was that like some other monster
>>220888196>assmad at the movieMy post was just pointing out having a doorway you can just freely enter and exit through robs the entire concept of any chance of being "scary" or unsettling. I think you might be autistic, because no part of the post was "assmad", and you've gone into some weird defense mode for the youtube fanfic
>>220888642You still haven't explained what you think 'noclipping out of reality' means, thoughbeit
>>220888631no it was most likely siren head or a 'lifeform fellow' that killed the scientist and the stoner. definitely wasn't pirate clark
>>220878753I feel like that was the intent but then DEI causes >>220878775 which inadvertently makes it based. If you know enough about The Content Of Their Character, you hear his side of things and immediately imagine a divestor situation.
>>220880504holy seethe in the repliesyou're based for an unc
>>220888528>The monster is the physical manifestation of someone's worst impulses up to elevenKino. Him having the appearance of Clark's humiliation ritual is the cherry on top.
I can’t believe after sleeping on it, I went from 3/5 to 4/5. I really enjoyed this movie more than I thought I was going to when I went in, that in of itself is a win because I was expecting the hottest mess of the year.
Also how does this movie version of the backrooms "work."Does it take a scan of you when you enter and then start generating things based on your psychology/memories? Or are you "deleted" when you enter and you slowly start spiraling into the copies of copies of yourself?The ending was confusing with what happened with the psychologist. Was she rescued and imprisoned or was it just a fractal pattern of her memories and fantasies?
>>220888672Leaving reality, it's in the name. This shouldn't be hard to understand as some of the youtube videos actually show this well enough, before they stray into doorways you can just walk in and out of freely and nonsense.
>>220888820You still haven't explained what that means though. What does 'leaving reality' mean ,physically speaking, according to you, the expert?
>>220888816I think the Backrooms is a gestalt life force that knows everything in the current universe and attempts to replicate it to varying degrees of success because it is informed by human memory which is inherently imperfect.
>stoner dude climbs down narrow sloping passage to creepy room, gets spooked and bugs out the way he came with Clark and his girlfriend pulling on rope to get him out > ten seconds later the rope is still trailing down the passage so a monster can grab it and thereby the stonerBRAVO PARSONS
>>220888935Good job on recognizing that the line between horror and comedy is fine. It's not like people have recognized this for decades and made spoofs and horror comedies or anything.You must be really smart and post on reddit a lot.
>>220888816They say in the movie that it's just copying everything it sees, it has limited sight into our world though, it copies things that never entered the backrooms like the pirate costume and the books>The ending was confusing with what happened with the psychologist. Was she rescued and imprisoned or was it just a fractal pattern of her memories and fantasies I think that was just a copy of her at that exact moment in time, she was just super checked out so that's why her copy was just catatonic. It's open if they killed her/keeping her prisoner
>>220889217I didn't like her fate being so uncertain. I would have liked to have seen if she got killed or they just brought her on board. It seemed like such a waste when she had such a momen of clarity with Clark realizing that she couldn't save anyone because she's been trying to save herself and her mother her whole life.
>>220879079Nigger tongue my Anus 2
how'd a fucking backrooms movie in 2026 manage to NOT be shit
ngl, I really liked Clark, its a shame he died and cant be a schizo protag for future films
>>220878775>tho
I'm kinda shocked there was no angle about Clark's failing business being tied to wacism Based zoomers dont give a fuck
>>220889560Jews constantly shaming whitey for wacism falls flat when the jews are carrying out a genocide.
>>220889577are they though? against whom
>actual flawed main character who's a piece of shit>VHS segment and also literal mascot horror monster>Jumped straight into the horror, didn't need a stupid fort building scene>didn't blow a ton of budget on Megan FoxWhy the FUCK did you guys get an actual proper movie? Its everything I wanted the FNAF movie to be and I fucking hate the backrooms but this is like one of my favorite movies ever now.>>220888528I really wanna know how he got stuck with the pirate sultan character, was he just drunk outta his mind and picked that?
>>220889727Also it didn't hold your hand with the supernatural and plotFuck you guys fuck this movie rocked fuck
