Hola amigos de la comunidad de Movies & Tv, espero que se encuentren muy bien. Hace poco mi hermana y yo estuvimos revisando nuestras watchlist de Letterboxd y decidimos ver la pel铆cula Sick of myself. No nos esper谩bamos una pel铆cula tan profunda e intrigante como est谩, d贸nde se refleja fuertemente la comedia negra y la obsesi贸n de la protagonista casi al punto enfermizo de querer recibir atenci贸n de otros ya sea por medio de hacer sentir lastima o fingir incluso estar enferma como es lo que sucede en esta historia. As铆 que los invito a leer mi rese帽a de Sick of myself 馃憖馃幀.
Hello friends of the Movies & Tv community, I hope you are doing great. Recently my sister and I were going through our Letterboxd watchlist and decided to watch the movie Sick of myself. We were not expecting a movie as deep and intriguing as this one, where the black comedy is strongly reflected and the obsession of the main character almost to the sick point of wanting to receive attention from others either by making them feel pity or even pretending to be sick as it happens in this story. So I invite you to read my review of Sick of myself 馃憖馃幀.
La trama nos cuenta la historia de una pareja, Signe y su novio Thomas quienes parecen ser el uno para el otro, ambos viven juntos y comparten la fascinaci贸n por el arte, m谩s all谩 de todo esto les gusta poder reunirse con amigos y presumir un poco de los logros que han obtenido, satisfaciendo el ego inmenso que ambos tienen pero que intentan disimular ante los dem谩s. Ante el crecimiento de popularidad de Thomas por ser un artista que se dedica a crear muebles con formas extra帽as o diferentes, recibiendo la atenci贸n de sus amigos y consiguiendo que lo busquen para hacerle entrevistas a Signe no le parece nada bueno que 茅l est茅 siendo visto como alguien importante y que ella se est茅 quedando de lado solo como la novia simp谩tica del artista, lo que la lleva a empezar a tomar decisiones que le impedir谩n ver con claridad que su obsesi贸n por ser vista ante los dem谩s est谩 da帽ando por completo su salud y su vida.
The plot tells the story of a couple, Signe and her boyfriend Thomas who seem to be for each other, both live together and share a fascination for art, beyond all this they like to meet with friends and boast a little of the achievements they have obtained, satisfying the immense ego that both have but try to hide from others. Given Thomas' growing popularity as an artist who creates furniture with strange or different shapes, receiving the attention of his friends and getting them to seek him out for interviews, Signe does not think it is good that he is being seen as someone important and that she is being left aside only as the artist's nice girlfriend, which leads her to start making decisions that will prevent her from seeing clearly that her obsession with being seen by others is completely damaging her health and her life.
La pel铆cula es de Noruega y fue dirigida por Kristoffer Borgli, ten铆a buenas rese帽as en internet y tambi茅n en Letterboxd por lo que la vimos sin pensarlo, aunque ya sab铆amos un poco sobre la obsesi贸n de Signe por ser vista ante los dem谩s no sab铆amos que tomar铆a medidas tan extremas para lograr su objetivo. En la relaci贸n se nota la tensi贸n entre ambos porque poseen un ego que no les deja pensar ni por un momento en que alguien m谩s podr铆a ser mejores que ellos, esto hace que sientan celos de si mismos y busquen la forma siempre de figurar para que la atenci贸n recaiga en alguno de los dos.
The movie is from Norway and was directed by Kristoffer Borgli, it had good reviews on the internet and also on Letterboxd so we watched it without thinking about it, although we already knew a little about Signe's obsession to be seen before others we didn't know that she would take such extreme measures to achieve her goal. In the relationship we can see the tension between the two because they have an ego that does not let them think for a moment that someone else could be better than them, this makes them feel jealous of themselves and always look for ways to appear so that the attention falls on one of the two.
Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) es una joven que tiene mucha vida por delante, pero la relaci贸n que tiene con Thomas no hace m谩s que sacar el lado m谩s oscuro de ella misma, ese que tiene la necesidad infinita de querer ser el centro de atenci贸n, por lo que busca la forma m谩s autodestructiva de ganarse las miradas de otros e incluso la lastima provoc谩ndose a si misma una enfermedad producto de una droga muy potente que encontr贸 en una noticia por internet y que le pareci贸 buena idea para alejar la atenci贸n de Thomas (Eirik S忙ther) y que todos sintieran que deb铆an estar al pendiente de ella.
Signe (Kristine Kujath Thorp) is a young woman who has a lot of life ahead of her, but the relationship she has with Thomas only brings out the darkest side of herself, the one that has the infinite need to want to be the center of attention, so she looks for the most self-destructive way to win the looks of others and even hurts herself causing herself a disease product of a very powerful drug that she found in a news on the internet and that seemed a good idea to keep the attention away from Thomas (Eirik S忙ther) and that everyone felt that they should be aware of her.
Thomas no era tampoco ning煤n santo, siempre mentia constantemente en los grupos donde se reun铆a y compart铆a sus exitos como artista cosa que era totalmente una farsa, la mayor parte de las cosas que seg煤n el dise帽aba eran robadas y el las mostraba como suyas. Era un personaje altamente competitivo y inseguro que siempre buscaba la forma de que otros lo aludieran, mientras que su relaci贸n con Signe era bastante insufrible donde ambos vivan constantemente mintiendose y buscaban la forma de hacer que parecieran una pareja feliz cuando la realidad era todo lo opuesto.
Thomas was no saint either, he was always lying constantly in the groups where he met and shared his successes as an artist which was a total farce, most of the things he claimed he designed were stolen and he showed them as his own. He was a highly competitive and insecure character who was always looking for ways for others to allude him, while his relationship with Signe was quite insufferable where both of them were constantly lying to each other and looking for ways to make them look like a happy couple when the reality was the opposite.
Lo m谩s impactante fue la actuaci贸n de Signe, ella fue el foco principal de la historia ya que se desarrolla sobre su obsesi贸n por querer ser m谩s vista que Thomas, lo que lleva a sentir rabia y celos de 茅l y toma la terrible decisi贸n de comenzar a consumir una droga con la que ella sab铆a que terminar铆a muy mal pero a煤n as铆 decidi贸 continuar y luego empezaron los problemas de salud y el cambio f铆sico que es impactante, siento que la actriz dio todo de si misma y realmente se siente la obsesi贸n tan imparable que tiene sobre querer ser el centro de atenci贸n, lo m谩s probable es que tuviera un problema psicol贸gico muy fuerte pero no es algo que realmente revelen en la pel铆cula, pero se sacan las conclusiones por sus actitudes.
The most shocking thing was Signe's performance, she was the main focus of the story as it unfolds about her obsession with wanting to be more seen than Thomas, which leads to feeling rage and jealousy of him and she makes the terrible decision to start taking a drug that she knew would end very badly but still decided to continue and then the health problems started and the physical change which is shocking, I feel that the actress gave everything of herself and you really feel the unstoppable obsession she has about wanting to be the center of attention, most likely she had a very strong psychological problem but it's not something they really reveal in the movie, but you get the conclusions from her attitudes.
La pel铆cula muestra de manera real lo que es tener un problema de narcisismo y tambi茅n de obsesi贸n por querer ser siempre vistos, ya que ambos muestran estos rasgos pero en Signe es mucho m谩s alarmante, ella descuida su salud y no le importa llegar hasta las 煤ltimas consecuencias con tal de conseguir la lastima de otros, incluso hay una escena donde despu茅s de que ella ya tiene la enfermedad auto provocada bastante avanzada, le hacen una entrevista y ella pide que le tomen muchas fotos y despu茅s se encuentra en un quiosco las revistas d贸nde ella aparece y empieza a colocarlas de primeras para que otros la vean, tambi茅n le toma fotograf铆as como si fuera algo digno de admirar o de observar, como si ella fuera la persona m谩s importante del mundo. Realmente tienen que verla para llegar a entender toda la trama, es sin duda algo que puede llegar a gustar por el tema de la s谩tira sobre la obsesi贸n por la validaci贸n y el narcisismo disfrazado de ser alguien vulnerable. 馃
The film shows in a real way what it is to have a problem of narcissism and obsession with always wanting to be seen, as both show these traits but in Signe is much more alarming, she neglects her health and does not mind going to the ultimate consequences in order to get the pity of others, there is even a scene where after she already has the self-induced disease quite advanced, She is interviewed and she asks for many pictures to be taken and then she finds in a kiosk the magazines where she appears and starts to put them first for others to see her, she also takes pictures of her as if she was something to admire or to watch, as if she was the most important person in the world. You really have to see it to get to understand the whole plot, it is certainly something you can get to like for the satire theme about the obsession with validation and narcissism disguised as being someone vulnerable. 馃
