"This movie is turning all the frogs trans!" - Alex Jones, The Doomsday Times
I love this Movie! So much, i cried my Heart out and I just didnt want it to end. I dont want this characteres to leave (me)
same here. pretty much a 100 minute crying session haha
Such a peak movie
I’m cis, and I personally thought Owen had autism. It felt like a metaphor for people on the spectrum and how navigating through life can feel surreal. I also thought they were literally living in the tv show like maddy said. I started to put it together halfway through and realized that’s why they can break the fourth wall and why they said time felt off. It’s because their entire lives were fictional. It’s just my personal way of looking at it. I like movies that let the audience come up with their own theories. This reminded me a lot of twin peaks, silent hill, and Jacob’s ladder as well.
i definitely got neurodivergent vibes as well. i’m glad others are able to gravitate towards the story and themes- it’s a win of representation for all!
I'm queer and autistic and i too thought Owen was meant to represent us on the spectrum! I think it works as a metaphor for both a queer and neurodivergent experience specially when you consider so many of us live through both ^^
I'm cis too, but I'm queer and bipolar and closeted so I heavily related to film. But we can't deny transness of "I saw the tv glow", Owen deadnames Maddy, dad telling him Pink Opaque for girls, Isabelle dress memory etc
Speed Racer from 2008 is a deep cut
genuinely one of my favorites of all time- that finale was perfection
This movie had so many things going on that I completely missed the part about Owen being a repressed transwoman. Yes, I saw him walking hanging out, and walking around with Mattie in a pink dress, but I thought that was part of Mattie's fevered delusion.
Interesting, never thought of that moment being a dream/not of reality. TV Glow plays with reality so it does make sense and it'll be interesting thinking about this point in future rewatches.
this movie made me ugly cry like 3 times. great vid, loved it!
I had a small breakdown after the 8 years later part of the movie. I had at 18 realized I was trans and wanted to come out and go on hormones. I realized myself and tried to tell someone important to me. They yelled at me and I felt so sad I repressed myself and put myself back in the closet, I suppressed who I was for people and all of the discovery of the trans parts of myself and went back to apathy. At 26 I finally started transitioning 8 years later. So when that film hit this 8 years later part I fucking broke down.
Took me a number of years from realization to actually starting my transition as well. Stay strong with your journey 💓
@@tkmia thank you, its been 9 months now. I have felt feelings and emotions ive never felt before. My body has changed so much I just did not know it was a thing to like how look in things. There is such a unique experience that comes from transitioning that's brought me joy.
I love this movie so much and it always felt weird hearing people call it a trans allegory or a trans metaphor when the trans stuff is basically in the text. Also I was confused by so many people not understanding the plot but I guess the mythology is too complicated for most kids.
Beautifully put! Everything you said resonated so hard with me. It's been over a week since I watched the movie and I haven't forgotten about for even a second. Repression is something so many queer people feel forced into and it's horrible. You are loved for your authentic self. I know it's easier said than done, but stay strong gorgeous and don't let this ugly world ruin your shine ♡
thank you so much for your kind words, i’m glad others are having the same reaction to this film ❤️
The last line of this essay was 100, enjoyed your video.
Thank you so much! The ending of the film absolutely crushed me but upon rewatch + context from interviews it gives me a lot of hope- just wanted to give that love back out there
I guess this really is the “are you LGBTQ” test. I liked the beginning but the middle and end were just not it for me. It does help me understand the queer experience better though, so I guess it accomplished what it sought out to do. I just wish it was longer and actually fleshed out the rest of the plot but Owen was a very beautifully written character.
I agree, I wish there were more scenes of Maddy and Owen hanging out and Maddy allowing Owen to openly express himself. I think maybe adding those scenes would've really helped instead of the more artsy approach we got.
me too dawg shi was legendary
Why speedracer?
Where's the new htcg video
i'll make one when you make one
Maybe I am wrong, but this movie beautifully depicts the danger of trans people sometimes may be manipulating and dragging innocent children on a track that leads into madness and doubt.
Why would she tell this boy to do her crazy ideas of what she believes is right but simply is insane?
Why in the hell would the director, someone who happens to be trans, ever imply that as one of this movie’s themes?
@@copyglow It would be clever I assume. Being self aware is an advantage and in this case would raise awareness of a serious issue. I always support such people with an honest and kind heart.
