Okay, Let's Talk About The Worst Person In The World (A Little Bit)
Alright, everyone. Let's get something straight. We all watched The Worst Person In The World. And let's be honest, some of us had thoughts.
Before we dive in, a disclaimer. This isn't a hate piece. It's more of a "slightly-exasperated-but-ultimately-understanding" piece. Bear with me.
Julie: Relatable or Just Really Annoying?
Julie, the main character. She's the "worst person," allegedly. But is she really the worst? Or is she just… kind of a mess?
She bounces between careers like I bounce between Netflix shows. One minute she's a doctor, the next a photographer. Honestly, been there.
And the relationships! Oh, the relationships. It's like watching a dating app simulator, but with more existential dread.
Aksel: The Safe Option...Until He Isn't
First, we have Aksel. He's older, established, a comic book artist. Seems like a catch, right?
But then you realize he's also a bit… rigid. And maybe, just maybe, a little too controlling about Julie's artistic expression.
Is it just me, or did anyone else feel a tiny bit relieved when Julie moved on? No offense, Aksel.
Eivind: The Quirky Rebound
Enter Eivind. The barista, the fun guy, the guy who makes you question all your life choices during a "harmless" night out.
He's the opposite of Aksel. More carefree, more spontaneous. And, let's face it, probably not the best choice for someone trying to figure things out.
But hey, who hasn't made a questionable relationship decision or two? We've all been there, haven't we?
The Frozen Moment: Cool Scene, Awkward Implications?
Okay, the "frozen world" scene. Visually stunning! Super creative! But...did anyone else feel a little uncomfortable with the whole "cheating" aspect?
I mean, technically, time was frozen. So, no harm, no foul? I'm not a philosopher, but it definitely raised some ethical eyebrows.
It’s cinematic and makes you think about all those “what if” moments in life.
So, Is She *Really* the Worst?
Look, Julie makes mistakes. Big ones. She's selfish, indecisive, and prone to questionable decisions. But aren't we all?
Maybe "worst" is a bit harsh. Maybe she's just… human. Flawed, complex, and trying to figure things out in a world that doesn't exactly make it easy.
The movie title is very ironic. It’s pointing out the absurdity of trying to label any one person as the worst.
My Unpopular Opinion: It's Overrated (Slightly)
Alright, brace yourselves. Here it comes: I think The Worst Person In The World is slightly overrated. Not bad, just...overrated.
It's beautiful, well-acted, and thought-provoking. But did it really change my life? Did it make me question the very fabric of my existence?
Ehhh… probably not. It's a good movie, but I wouldn’t put it on my top 10 of all time.
Final Verdict: Still Worth Watching
Despite my slight reservations, I'd still recommend watching The Worst Person In The World.
It's a beautiful, melancholic, and often funny exploration of love, life, and figuring out who you are. Just don't expect to find all the answers.
And maybe, just maybe, you'll find a little bit of yourself in Julie's messy, imperfect journey.
