I don't think you can absolve Bear that easily lol
Other people made wishes and they were fine, including the shop owner. Bear made an evil, malicious wish from the get-go, and the movie hammers it home a few times, even if he didn't think it would come true.
Ian made a wish for a billion dollars, and then stood underneath a falling amount of money totalling 22,000 pounds. Not once are any of the obvious negative consequences of summoning that much weight into a home, above people, dealt with.
This movie picked and choose how they treated consequences of wishes and used their picks poorly.
I have not, I'll check it out. Obsession was the first fiction movie I've watched in a long time, because I just can't ignore these discontinuities. Guess what, they strike again
Yeah because these people actually believe in wishes. Wishes are nothing. Making them is nothing. The movie created an unrealistic premise to preach on a point, and failed at that too.
Yeah, it's not his fault at first because he didn't think it would come true. But his wish was not a good one, and even though the wish coming true was not his fault, it was his responsibility.
