The Euphoria Finale Has Divided the Internet - Weekly Watch Report [5:10-10:11]
He knows what's happening. He realizes that the wish worked. And yet he's still making choices that are so selfish knowing that he just took full control of this girl's body. And she has no control, zero control. And at one point, he calls the wish hotline. And he's like, can I alter the wish? Which is by the way, did he know that was the director? Yeah, the director played like the guy in the hotline. But he's like, can I alter the wish? And so still he's being selfish. Can I just make her like me, but like not be obsessed and not be insane and not be insane. And like, and there were amazing parts of the movie where they kind of just show like her shadow. You know, like, you can't even fully see her face in her silhouette. And it kind of just like showed that he was like, he liked the idea of Nikki loving him, but he didn't even really know Nikki. He just wanted this girl to love him. But he didn't even really know her or try to get the chance or he didn't even have the guts to give it a shot and be like, hey, I like you and give her the choice of do you like me back? It was like, no, I'm going to I now fully know she has no control over this because there was a one scene where in the middle of the night, she's like, kill me. It was like, actually, Nikki talking. The real Nikki, the real Nikki, whatever other Nikki was like a sleep. She said, and he was like, how like, is it really that bad being with me? And she was like, I've never been with you like this. Right. Cause there were parts where the real Nikki was coming out. And while the fake Nikki sleeping. And he is so selfish in that moment, even being like, is it so bad being with me? And like you said, she's like, I was never with you because every bit of the part when he was with Nikki was fake Nikki. It wasn't really her. And there were, you know, even little signs like she made his lunch, which I cannot even talk about that part. I genuinely was going to make me sick. I'm not going to tell you, because it's going to make me puke. She writes and it's a picture of them too. And she writes, not me. Like, there are so many signs of real Nikki being coherent, but not being able to control like when she like tried to stop herself. Right. There's just so many times where she's trying to come out. It was so well done though. And the ending was phenomenal. They had shot two different endings. And the original ending that they had, they shot multiple times. And the ending that they ended up using, they only shot one take of because Curry, the director was like, we didn't think we were going to use this. But I'm so glad they did because this ending that they used, I think is so much better. I also know what the other ending what like, do know what the other. So basically, there was like the most insane jump scare. There's another girl in the friend group, Sarah who actually likes bear. And it's hard to explain otherwise. I'm going to go through the entire movie. But they're in the car in the middle of the night. Sarah, text bear is like, hey, meet me. I need to tell you some things at like three in the morning. And then he meets up with her. And they're in the car. And they're really nice moment. And you know, because this is a nice moment, that's something really fucking bad is about to happen. And even though you know that a jump scare is going to happen, nothing can prepare you for Nikki jumping out and fucking hang her with a brick and killing her. Like it is, you know, is smashing her face. Matching her face. 30 seconds. It's so it is so obscene. Nothing can prepare you for it even though you know it's coming. And so she kills the friend. And they make their way back to bearers place. And basically the only way to get the wish to stop is if bear dies. So like, okay. What the person can find someone to use their wish to possibly like counteract his wish. Yeah, because all you only get one right. So he tried to get his friend to make another wish. And his friend didn't believe him. And his friend was like, yeah, I wish for a billion dollars and like literally a billion dollars fell from the sky. And that is like kind of I think shows that like the wish itself is not inherently bad, but it's the wisher. It's like what you wish for and what your intent is is what's bad and what's, you know, makes you a villain. Because wishing for a billion dollars, billion dollars fell from the sky. And there was no consequences. And then the fact that he went with the friend that I'm dying all that money just disappears because the wish dies with you. Yeah, so yeah, the wish dies at the person. So basically he calls he's like, how can I get the stop in the guys like if you die or you kill yourself, like just kill yourself. I don't know. So basically she's going she's going insane. She kills the other two friends.
