Nothing can explain my enthrallment with obsession and how the mind works. This weekend I re-watched Fight Club, one of my favorite films let alone one of the greatest of all time. I love movies that tackle what obsession is, American Psycho, Black Swan, and Sound of Metal are all films I would also highly recommend to any viewer. Obsession, unlike love, is secretly and ridiculously hard to express on screen. The explanation being, because of how closely it is related to love/madness. Countless find most films that try to portray their leading role as being ludicrously obsessed, get portrayed as being crazy or in love instead, which is much different from being obsessed. Thus, comes the predicament of there being much fewer films on obsession than on any other subject. This greatly saddens me as even the highly acclaimed films I have recommended beforehand, unfortunately, feature some sort or another of this problem as well. I have yet to find any film that can satisfy my wants of an enthusiastic yet realistic sight of modern-day obsession, however, I will keep pursuing this marvelous task.
