npub1u5afjx26jpysdsltr3j0kwn9rxfdulx5wm5czzflqqgetmaa78ysnejwlu (npub1u5a…jwlu) true, tbh what brought my initial toot to mind was just last night I showed some friends St Elmo's Fire (which is a whole other discussion about films framing extremely toxic behavior in a positive light) and I kept getting my mind blown by how much foreshadowing the film used that I had missed the first time through.
But also I think I was so distracted on my initial viewing doing mental deconstruction of the toxic character behavior in relation to the culture of the era that I didn't have any bandwidth to focus on the narrative outside of "oh god are they gonna do trope x"
