Turns Out The "Nice Guy" Is Actually TERRIFYING...
The new horror movie Obsession might be one of the most disturbing films of the year, but what if its villain isn't actually that different from some of Hollywood's most beloved romantic heroes? Welcome to the "Nice Guy" trope! From Ross Geller in Friends, to Ted Mosby in How I Met Your Mother, Hollywood has spent years teaching us that persistence is romantic, jealousy is love, and entitlement is just a sign that he cares. But when you strip away the laugh track, these characters start to look very different.... In this video essay, we're taking a closer look at the "nice guy" trope, movie romance, toxic relationship dynamics in film and TV, and why the horror movie Obsession might have accidentally exposed one of Hollywood's oldest character archetypes!
