Obsession is so good on so many levels. If you haven't seen it, that's fine, as Chris has chosen some scenes for us to watch together and talk about. If you have seen it, that's awesome; come talk to us about it!
What if you finally got exactly what you wanted? And it ruined everything? How well do we really understand our own desires? And when ambition, love or obsession takes hold, are we pursuing something that will make us happy, or simply something we’ve convinced ourselves we must have? Be careful what you wish for sounds like a simple warning, but underneath it are some surprisingly deep questions about desire, identity, control, regret and the stories we tell ourselves about what will finally make our lives complete.
Join Chris for a Watch & Talk built around scenes from the awesome Obsession, a film packed with moments that become even more interesting when you stop and argue about what they actually mean. You’ll watch selected scenes together and use them as jumping-off points for conversation, from the characters’ choices to the bigger philosophical questions hiding underneath them. As always with Chris, expect plenty of laughter, interaction, unexpected opinions and conversations that go places you probably didn’t anticipate. You don’t need to have seen the film, and no knowledge of cinema or philosophy is necessary—just bring your curiosity, your opinions and perhaps one thing you’ve wished for that you’re very glad you never got.
《痴迷》在很多层面都特别好看。如果你还没看过,没关系,Chris已经挑好了一些片段,我们会一起看、一起聊。如果你已经看过,那太好了,来跟我们聊聊!
如果你终于得到了你一直想要的东西,结果却把一切都毁了,会怎样?我们对自己的欲望到底有多了解?当野心、爱情或痴迷占据上风时,我们追逐的到底是能让我们幸福的东西,还是只是我们说服自己“必须要得到”的东西?“小心你许下的愿望”听起来像一句简单的警告,但它背后藏着一些意外深刻的问题:关于欲望、身份、控制、后悔,以及我们给自己编的那些“什么才能让生活终于完整”的故事。
加入Chris,来一场围绕《痴迷》片段展开的“观影聊片”——这部电影里有很多瞬间,一旦你停下来争论它们到底是什么意思,就会变得更有意思。你们会一起看精选片段,然后把它们当作对话的起点,从角色的选择聊到背后更大的哲学问题。和Chris的活动一样,期待大量笑声、互动、意想不到的观点,以及那些会跑到你完全没预料到的地方的对话。你不需要看过这部电影,也不需要任何电影或哲学知识——只要带上你的好奇心、你的观点,以及也许一个你曾经许下、但现在特别庆幸没实现的愿望。
