@@Mathiasvenegasjuarez1 I agree, to be honest, there really should be more movies like this that show the harsh reality of mental illnesses. Like binge eating or some other form of addiction?
This alone is scarier than a lot of horror movies because you just know somewhere, someone is doing this. You might just personally know one. Or worse, you could even be, used to be or even become one yourself.
I can see why people find this particular scene terrifying because it can really happen to any of us. It's terrifying because its still happening to people out there, and there's nothing we can do to help. Self destruction, is probably our greatest fear, even scarier than death.
we have all been there at some point.. just one moment away from being absolutely reckless.. It terrifies me to think what if someday I just lose control
@@satsumamoon that’s what makes it terrifying. People choose to do these horrible things to themselves (ex. Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking, Overeating, etc.) even when they know it’s hurting them. Their friends and family can only watch them descend further into self-destruction
This scene is even harder to watch when you know how someone eating from pure adiction and anxiety looks like, and you see how well Brendan Fraser acted that. You dont even stop to aprecciate the flavours of what you're eating, you may not even be tasting it, you're just opening your mouth as wide as you can to shove the biggest amount of food possible inside, and chewing fast so you can make room for more food the fastest way possible. And sometimes you will do things like putting ham and mayo on pizza, or chips on bread, or any other pointless food combination so maybe the weird variaty of flavours actually make you feel anything that distracts you from whats going in your head. It feels terrible, and it was painfully well shown in the movie.
This absolutely shook me bc ive done the same during hard times. Down to mixing random snacks with extra toppings / sauces. It got so bad once i ended up in the ER after liver and kidney problems.
I work in a hospital as a nursing aide and nursing student. We had this over 600lb woman on our unit who was there for complications of cellulitis. She also said she wanted to get gastric bypass surgery. The plan was to have her lose weight, treat her infection, and eventually proceed to the surgery. This woman would order very large meals from varied fast food restaraunts. These meals were enough to feed a party of 10 people. We're talking 10 burgers, 10 fries, 5 large drinks all in one meal. Sometimes she would order pizza. In one sitting, she ate 5 large pizzas on her own. She ended up gaining an additional 100lb in her 3 month stay. She accused us for her weight gain and said we should have stopped her. There was nothing we could do about it. We told her not to be eating that way, but we can't stop someone when they have the right to eat whatever they want. This movie reminds me of that.
Some people just can’t be helped. A lot of these people have other mental disorders like narcissism. They like to weaponize pity so you always feel bad for them. Nothing is ever their fault though.
As someone who has suffered from crippling OCD for most of my life, this scene hits hard. His eating is a compulsion. He doesn't eat for pleasure. It's a coping mechanism. All he feels is pain and hopelessness.
@@godzillaaa740 Stay strong man. I never dreamed that I could beat my OCD after living with it for the first 25 years of my life, but now I'm living a full life with a great career, big home, and beautiful girlfriend. What makes OCD difficult to beat is that it is an anxiety disorder. Your obsessions are fueled by fear and your rituals only add more fuel to that fear. The only way to beat OCD is with exposure therapy. That's how I finally beat my OCD when I was 25 years old. The way to stop being afraid is to face your fears until they aren't scary anymore. If OCD makes you wash your hands over and over again, then go a whole day without washing them at all. It might not be sanitary, but that's the whole point. If you're afraid of germs, then the only true cure is to get your hands dirty and not wash them. The first few times you do that it will terrify you. But over time you'll notice that it bothers you less and less. And eventually it won't bother you at all. The process is slow and painful, but it is the only way to freedom.
Currently in recovery myself. My entire adult life has been controlled by severe OCD. I’m 26 now, and I have been recovering with my husky. I’ve been on all the meds imaginable, and none of them helped. I’d argue they made it worse. About a year and a half ago, I had a few spiritual experiences with mushrooms. These experiences had begun my recovery. They were not a cure, but a very important tool. Soon after the experiences, I rescued my husky. I’m now about to get my drivers license, just obtained my HiSet diploma, and just got accepted into community college. I haven’t drank alcohol in well over a year. I developed a bad drinking problem due to OCD. I will get my two year degree, and then will enroll into Purdue for my bachelor degree. You’re right when you say exposure therapy is the only way. Medications have their place, but they’re overprescribed, and a lot of the time they cause more negative effects than positive ones. It all starts with the person. They have to want freedom, and they have to fight hard for it. No medication on the planet will make you well if you aren’t ready to be well. At some point, you have to be so sick of being sick, that there’s no other option other than recovery. I had become terrified of never being well again. I realized that I have the power to take my life back. Life is all about choices. Everyday we’re presented with opportunities for growth. We can choose to take them or we can choose to stay the same. Staying the same was a more terrifying thought than any torturous thought that OCD had ever made me conceive of. I’m done wasting days. Today I’m not on any medications other than Aptiom, which is an anticonvulsant. My OCD was so severe, that due to the constant state of stress and anxiety I was in, I began to have seizures at around 19. I’m not epileptic. My seizures were stress induced. One day I feel I’ll be able to get off of Aptiom as well. But one step at a time. I’ve been seizure free for over two years now. Knock on wood. I’m glad I saw your comment, and I wish nothing but the best for you, and for the young man above in the comments. Also, to anyone else who sees this who needs to see it. While there’s breath, there’s hope.
This movie made such an impact. This was perfectly depicted on how a man feels when he lacks control of everything around him, and the one thing he can control is what goes down his throat. Heart breaking
I used this movie to keep my motivation when i was on my diet earlier this year. Started at 255lbs the dropped to 235 and stayed there for years, January began my diet and got down to 180lbs by September.
I felt anxiety from many movies, but this scene in this movie gave me such a raw form of new anxiety I've never felt. I felt so raw and emotionally invested in this scene, such an amazing movie
This scene got to me as almost 2 years ago I was binge eating my feelings away like in this clip I was 270 pounds, eating 2 large pizzas every day from a little caesars close to me because I was broke working a dead end job, stressing about college and lonely. I was destroying myself and didn't care about my wellbeing because I didn't feel it was worth anything to care about. This was before I was admitted to the hospital on account of having covid and it triggering kitoacidosis in my body me being a diabetic, I couldn't eat without my body rejecting it, I could barely breathe let alone walk anywhere and was constantly tired to the point I slept for 16 hours at a time. During my time at the hospital I lost 100 pounds and found new reasons to live and take care of myself. To create content for the world, to make my current and future family proud of me, and to make myself the best version of myself mentally and physically. That being said to anyone reading this please take care of yourself and know you have purpose to be healthy.
Bro I understand how you feel, I failed college my life was in shambles my gf cheated on me and never told me and then broke up with me. Saw my dogs die and even then finding out my mom had cancer. Yeah I lost all hope and started eating away my feelings. Then I realized I can turn my life around and do my best. Everyday now I workout, jog and walk drink plenty of water and looking for work usually. I'm very happy currently but I hope you're happy as well. Stay strong
Not gonna lie… I bought a bunch of snacks to go see the movie in theaters. When this part came… I immediately felt so disgusted to even eat anymore. I ate nothing for the rest of the night due to how shocking and traumatizing this scene was. I really hope all that food was fake. Congrats to Brendan for such a heart wrenching yet horrifyingly realistic performance.
As someone who has struggled with binge eating disorder, this is spot on. I remember eating pies, cupcakes, and dorritos. I'd keep eating even after I was full, I just wanted to continue eating. I'm doing better now.
I use to be in Charlie’s shoes with my food addiction (no i was not super obese) until I saw this movie and ever since the start of 2023, I improved my diet and worked out so much more
This scene hit so close to home. As a child I never had my parents love or support . Everyone judged me & told me I was worthless basically. I always depended on others for my happiness. I didn’t feel capable of making myself happy. I used to be terrified of being alone. Being alone meant facing my emotions and feeling like shit. When I was in college, I lived in an apartment with three roommates and whenever they would go back home for the weekend and I would stay alone in the apartment, I would binge eat. I would eat anything I could find to the point where I would throw up because of how full I was. Other times I would force myself to vomit because of the guilt I felt afterwards. I didn’t know I was capable of finding happiness within myself so I always depended on others & masked it with food. Now I am learning how to love myself and being alone. This depicts such a reality. I gained 40 pounds and I haven’t been able to return to my baseline because I still struggle with food. I hope one day I can view food as a normal person does.
@@custardcat5185 Still working on it. Im still binge eating but its not as bad as before. I know one day ill be able to have a good relationship with food.
My friends and I were at an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Sitting across from us was a young man in his mid twenties who was morbidly obese and eating huge plates of food. We watched him and we all lost our appetites and left. We felt bad for the guy.
You don't have to specifically be a binge-eater in order to connect deeply with this scene. There are millions of Charlies in the world, consuming and abusing something or other - food, alcohol, drugs, sex - desperate to medicate feelings they can't cope with. There is not a single sign in this scene that Charlie is enjoying what he is doing - props to Fraser's great acting. He's frantic, desperate - latching onto the food like it's his only hope of ever feeling stable again. This isn't a love for food - it's a crippling emotional dependence on it. What fitting music for the situation, too - again, not a shred of joy in it. It's strange and terrifying - a descent into madness.
That's why this movie means a lot to me. Because it treats binge eating with the same depth as drug addiction or alcoholism or self harm. Most movies or shows don't do that. It's just always "Haha look at the fat guy" instead of seeing the true suffering behind the person.
I legitimately teared up watching this. Something about seeing Charlie destroy himself so aggressively after hitting his lowest low in the entire movie really hurts. Every character's breakdown (and they all had a breakdown at some point) felt realistic in a difficult-to-watch way, but this one was definitely the most painful
I really think the score is what sets this scene. It's chaotic, atonal, and uncomfortable, and this reflects Charlie's escalating breakdown as he tries to eat his way out of his despair.
I feel his pain, as an alcoholic the scene where the delivery guy sees him hit so hard. One time i ordered my usual liquor. Order on skip the dishes 750 ml of vodka and a bottle of coke. This time the delivery guys said “ i dont need to see your id, i see you everyday” the pain in knowing others could see that i was slowly killing myself was too much to bear. I remember having a complete self destructive breakdown like in this scene afterwards too. Ive never seen any other story portray addiction snd self destruction so accurately.
This scene alone was an effective depiction of binge eating, addiction, and major depression, and I've dealt with all three in recent years. I do get why this movie got polarizing reviews, but this is one of those movies that I constantly think about because of the way this stuff is all too real.
Movies about humans with anxiety/feelings of losing hope/stress or anything else are the scariest movies to me. Because they're the ones that so many people can relate/find a connection to.
After becoming sober from alcohol after a DUI, this is what happened a couple times after the first few weeks of bad cravings as I didnt know what the hell to do. The gym and my chiropractors saved my life. I'm a skinny guy, but this scene hit me in the face really hard. I felt like I was looking in the mirror.
If somebody was asking, how it is to have binge eating disorder or bulimia, this is how it looks like. Life with those disorders is terrible exactly like that. This scene made me cry because it´s heartbreaking to see someone else doing it as well.
This scene broke my heart. I was once in this exact situation. The only difference was that alcohol was my choice of tool to destroy myself. But this is how exactly it is. You keep binging until you feel numb. You try to stay in that place where the hurt is not there so you keep consuming and consuming, until your body gives up. After puking my gutts out, later on I would just sob and really hate myself for being defeated. I would sometimes even hit myself. Exercise, self-love and focusing on work really helped me a lot. I also dedicated myself to serving a purpose greater than myself. That gave me a reason to not destroy myself. Although the temptation is always there though. The possibility of relapsing is something I need to fight everyday, since I am dealing with PTSD.
I comeback to this video once in a while to see what I'm doing to myself. No, I'm not obese neither I am a fat person. Completely healthy but this scene reminds me how mindlessly I doom scroll internet, consume media content like there's no tomorrow. Multiple tabs open both in phone and monitor. Porn, A movie, multiple social media sites, UA-cam, quora, reddit going through all these in just a span of 20 minutes. Sleep deprivation, no proper hydration. Just pure self-destruction just like shown in this video.
This scene isn't so much about eating specifically as it is about how we deal with stress. How do we react to stress? Pressure? Anxiety? This movie helped me realized the scariest thing in life isn't some ghost or monster in the corner of our room. This scene depicts moments when we're incapable of handling stress, and that has to be the scariest shit ever. Our reactions to intolerable strain will more likely kill us sooner than any shark in the water, or airplane malfunction, or shadow in the corner. Sure, at face value, it's a man binge eating. Although I believe it's a beautifully haunting allegory of the way we deal with tension, whether it be eating, not eating, smoking, drugs, burning bridges, shutting ourselves in, drinking... et frigg'n cetera. This scene is just too real to be afraid of a boogeyman.
Addiction. Desperately trying not to feel emotional pain. Knowing the numbness doesn’t last long. The panic begins. Frantically shoveling an shoving as much as you can, hoping you don’t get too full too fast, wanting it to last but wanting it be over with.
This is the first time I have ever even seen or thought of eating two slices of pizza at once. That alone was enough to throw me off in discomfort, well done.
This makes me want to cry. I know a few people who live like this and I love them so so so so much and I don’t know how to help them when they’re making choices like this. When they’re choking because they can’t shove enough food in their mouth because they’re so hungry and so lonely and so upset with themselves that they can’t control it and then an hour or two later they’re sobbing their eyes out out of shame and disgust and disappointment in themselves and just feel like a lost cause stuck in a viscous cycle that’s killing them. My mom has had issues with binge eating my whole life and she raised me and my sisters very healthy despite her own addiction and I ended up dealing with anorexia out of fear of ending up like that and it put me in the hospital and my mom stayed with me the whole time and tried not to cry but she felt so responsible for me ending up there and she kept telling doctors that it was her fault and that shattered my heart. My heart absolutely breaks for people struggling with addictions like this. I see this and I see drug addicts the same, they’re all going to die unless they find the strength in themselves or someone is willing to sacrifice themself to help them and get them the care they need. It’s such a cruel life to live. I wish I could do something, anything to help.
This hits closer to home with my binge eating disorder the amount of pain I felt in my abdomen after so much food. It was also because I would eat hardly anything for a week then binge.
I hope things are better for you now I suffered from a lot of mental health leaving the military but now on the other side of the fence enjoying life. It takes work daily to overcome obstacles in the mind but there is calmness after the storm.
Damn. I felt this scene in the theater. Food addiction makes you go crazy once you start eating good food. It's exciting in your head, but this scene portrays the reality of it very well.
It's amazing how they make the eating so sad. How it shows you someone's eating being a comfort but also the hate in his eyes the self loathing because he can't stop.
As someone who has never had a proper binging episode, but got pretty darn close to one by eating their feelings, this was quite literally terrifying to watch.
Before my gastric surgery, i did have my binge moments. But they were thankfully never this out of control. Im so grateful i was fortunate enough to reach out for help.
This story has a lot of similarities to Requiem for a Dream, Aronofskys other film, it’s absolutely horrifying to watch a person self destruct like that. I don’t even think he stood up at the end, I think it was just his dying dream
this scene was absolutely heartbreaking. i had snacks to see the whale but i instantly got put off at this scene. i still struggle with just eating when im bored or to destruct myself from my feelings about everything. it’s truly, truly consuming and just overall so horrible
This scene is so Disturbing and Terrifing to me. Not the fact that Charlie is overweight, but that his life is so down that he feels like eating is the only way for him to feel worth. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The grimness of this scene is so accurate, I think that’s the reason why it’s so hard to watch. It’s so real! The sound effects of the food when he eats it, what you yourself hear when you actually eat. Also the lighting of the scene makes it feel like your in some shitty apartment with some nicotine covered light bulbs. The director really did an outstanding job, he puts you in the moment with him. I need to watch this whole movie.
This movie scene really made us create fear of becoming obese and wants us to change our bodies to healthy state before the bad happens, before it's too late.
This brings me back to how I used to cope in my abusive relationship with my ex. I gained a whopping 35lbs in five years. I don’t miss that time in my life and I don’t wish this on anybody.
After seeing this scene I genuinely think about it often when eating. I sometimes find myself eating to much to fast to a point of getting really bad reflux where I have to go vomit. This scene genuinely felt like a good wake up call before it getting out of hand
People call this scene over the top or stupid. But if you have any sort of depression resulting in shoving endless food in your mouth just to feel bit better, you know well this was on spot.
bro this scene real as hell. as i binge eater that trying to improving life this movie is that movie is top at quality but not like a exaggereated acting but on the spot as hell.
Wow, this scene is so incredibly accurate it’s scary. As a binge/emotional eater it’s jarring to see it as an observer instead of the participant, but I’ve had nights like this. You are disgustingly full but it’s like your stop button is broken, you just continue to frantically shovel down food. The next morning is always hell when you have to tidy up and you feel like a total failure on multiple levels, plus you are half dead from all the sodium, sugar and carbs sluggishly digesting.
This comment is exactly it. The shame and guilt the next morning trying to tidy it away or hide it in the bin so no one sees the evidence of your binge. And yes feeling sluggish and ill the next day. I had to call in sick to work the next day after a particularly bad binge because I felt so horrifically sick I couldn't leave my bed without feeling really really ill and crying. I actually thought I might need to call an ambulance because of how horrific I felt. It really is a gut wrenching addiction :-(
A friend recommended this movie and I cried at this scene, cause it's how I am with alcohol. It was a real wake up call and I knew if I kept it up I'd be dead sooner than I knew it.
I used to be as big as this guy, and let me tell you, we don’t even eat that much food. A lot of thinner guys ate much more than I did when I was that weight. The reason for the morbid obesity are past defeats piling on past defeats. Until you become as big as the whale even if you eat less than an athlete with a good body
It's both touching and heartbreaking to see the amount of comments here from people coming forward with their addictions and saying how honestly this scene captures it. I thought about my own gambling addiction (a year and a half sober now) and how I would spiral for hours and hours and it would be a toxic rush of dopamine until the sky got dark and I'd end the day feeling sick and empty.
It’s scary how accurate this is to me when my hunger cravings hit. Granted I’m not overweight and physically unfit but this scene giving me huge warning signs.
This scene is a completely different situation. He's not eating from hunger, he's eating as a harmful, desperate way to cope with the stress in his life

I rather be a heroin addict then a morbidly obese food addict.
The ominous music is perfect. Like a predator chasing down prey until it’s hunger is satisfied, or a tornado destroying everything in sight.

Oh no... you've given me perspective that I really needed, but really wish I didn't have to see. Thank you.
This scene got to me as almost 2 years ago I was binge eating my feelings away like in this clip
I was 270 pounds, eating 2 large pizzas every day from a little caesars close to me because I was broke working a dead end job, stressing about college and lonely. I was destroying myself and didn't care about my wellbeing because I didn't feel it was worth anything to care about.
This was before I was admitted to the hospital on account of having covid and it triggering kitoacidosis in my body me being a diabetic, I couldn't eat without my body rejecting it, I could barely breathe let alone walk anywhere and was constantly tired to the point I slept for 16 hours at a time.
During my time at the hospital I lost 100 pounds and found new reasons to live and take care of myself. To create content for the world, to make my current and future family proud of me, and to make myself the best version of myself mentally and physically. That being said to anyone reading this please take care of yourself and know you have purpose to be healthy.
Wow 100 pounds that’s some serious dedication proud of u bro ✊
Bro I understand how you feel, I failed college my life was in shambles my gf cheated on me and never told me and then broke up with me. Saw my dogs die and even then finding out my mom had cancer. Yeah I lost all hope and started eating away my feelings. Then I realized I can turn my life around and do my best. Everyday now I workout, jog and walk drink plenty of water and looking for work usually. I'm very happy currently but I hope you're happy as well. Stay strong
@@RamenBracken stay strong kyodai, we still have a lot more love to give
@@NotOnlyMagicMan absolutely, always stay strong and keep on going my brother, may you live with love and prosperity
ayyyy so proud of you, lesgo
As someone who has had problems with alcohol for years, this scene makes me feel his pain
I had binge eating disorder and I can confirm that this is what it looks like
Yeah you you stuff your mouth with whatever its in the fridge or nearby it’s sad
Not gonna lie… I bought a bunch of snacks to go see the movie in theaters. When this part came… I immediately felt so disgusted to even eat anymore. I ate nothing for the rest of the night due to how shocking and traumatizing this scene was. I really hope all that food was fake. Congrats to Brendan for such a heart wrenching yet horrifyingly realistic performance.
Im a skinny asian kid I don’t have to worry about that
Bro I regret eating anything watching this movie 💀
I lost 40kg since this movie came into my life
I will never eat again💀
I'm so happy i have a high metabolism. 6'2, 165 pounds and can eat anything I want all the time. Just gotta have some exercise too.
As someone who has struggled with binge eating disorder, this is spot on. I remember eating pies, cupcakes, and dorritos. I'd keep eating even after I was full, I just wanted to continue eating. I'm doing better now.
It's great you're ok now 😊
@@Davidfrone I am 50lbs down and have a much healthier relationship with food. :)
@@SatiricalLizard keep going you can do this
All of that food won’t fill the void inside you, no matter how much you eat.
I use to be in Charlie’s shoes with my food addiction (no i was not super obese) until I saw this movie and ever since the start of 2023, I improved my diet and worked out so much more
glad you're still here my friend and I wish all the best in your journey of self improvement
@@EthanVillanueva Thanks man, now nearly 2 months since I started all of that and I have started to lose weight
Same here ..stopped eating anything sweet !
Now when some offers me chocolates or sweet things , I would say " Give these crap to some 9 year old " 🤣
✊✊
I’ve lost 40kg since this movie entered my life
This is just how people eat their pizza when no one else is around.
This scene hit so close to home. As a child I never had my parents love or support . Everyone judged me & told me I was worthless basically. I always depended on others for my happiness. I didn’t feel capable of making myself happy. I used to be terrified of being alone. Being alone meant facing my emotions and feeling like shit. When I was in college, I lived in an apartment with three roommates and whenever they would go back home for the weekend and I would stay alone in the apartment, I would binge eat. I would eat anything I could find to the point where I would throw up because of how full I was. Other times I would force myself to vomit because of the guilt I felt afterwards. I didn’t know I was capable of finding happiness within myself so I always depended on others & masked it with food. Now I am learning how to love myself and being alone. This depicts such a reality. I gained 40 pounds and I haven’t been able to return to my baseline because I still struggle with food. I hope one day I can view food as a normal person does.
Man, I hope you get pass that. Hope you're doing well
Damn sending virtual hugs your way get better pls!
Keep moving forward. You have what it takes to succeed.
@@custardcat5185 Still working on it. Im still binge eating but its not as bad as before. I know one day ill be able to have a good relationship with food.
@@Bobo-uh1bx thank you so much it means a lot
My friends and I were at an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Sitting across from us was a young man in his mid twenties who was morbidly obese and eating huge plates of food. We watched him and we all lost our appetites and left. We felt bad for the guy.
Only Aronofsky could make a pizza eating scene that full of so much gloom and sadness.
They just filmed Brendon Frazier after his divorce
@@shmillbe3390 Sad 😔
And maybe David Fincher, director of gloom, sad movies like "Se7en"
Darren sure knows how to portray addiction.
Yes and self destruction too, eg requiem, the wrestler, even pi portray self destructive behavior very well
Horror doesn’t always need gore or disturbing imagery, Self destruction and watching people tear their lives apart are just as scary
guys the cut is going to be INSANE
You don't have to specifically be a binge-eater in order to connect deeply with this scene. There are millions of Charlies in the world, consuming and abusing something or other - food, alcohol, drugs, sex - desperate to medicate feelings they can't cope with. There is not a single sign in this scene that Charlie is enjoying what he is doing - props to Fraser's great acting. He's frantic, desperate - latching onto the food like it's his only hope of ever feeling stable again. This isn't a love for food - it's a crippling emotional dependence on it. What fitting music for the situation, too - again, not a shred of joy in it. It's strange and terrifying - a descent into madness.
That's why this movie means a lot to me. Because it treats binge eating with the same depth as drug addiction or alcoholism or self harm. Most movies or shows don't do that. It's just always "Haha look at the fat guy" instead of seeing the true suffering behind the person.
I legitimately teared up watching this. Something about seeing Charlie destroy himself so aggressively after hitting his lowest low in the entire movie really hurts.
Every character's breakdown (and they all had a breakdown at some point) felt realistic in a difficult-to-watch way, but this one was definitely the most painful
As someone who’s recovering from a binge eating disorder I can say this represents it well. The stress the frustration
The music makes this unintentionally hilarious
Watching this totally breaks my heart. You can see and feel his pain.
Average Genshin player
I guess u have good pfp with picture but this just toy lol
NO
I really think the score is what sets this scene. It's chaotic, atonal, and uncomfortable, and this reflects Charlie's escalating breakdown as he tries to eat his way out of his despair.
I feel his pain, as an alcoholic the scene where the delivery guy sees him hit so hard. One time i ordered my usual liquor. Order on skip the dishes 750 ml of vodka and a bottle of coke. This time the delivery guys said “ i dont need to see your id, i see you everyday” the pain in knowing others could see that i was slowly killing myself was too much to bear. I remember having a complete self destructive breakdown like in this scene afterwards too. Ive never seen any other story portray addiction snd self destruction so accurately.
This scene alone was an effective depiction of binge eating, addiction, and major depression, and I've dealt with all three in recent years. I do get why this movie got polarizing reviews, but this is one of those movies that I constantly think about because of the way this stuff is all too real.
Healthiest discord mod:
The soundtrack of this film was sooo good, it made my skin crawl and my blood felt like it thickened and slowed some times
He is the whale, and that is his sea.
Apex predator of the kitchen. The salami never had a chance.
Lol
Movies about humans with anxiety/feelings of losing hope/stress or anything else are the scariest movies to me. Because they're the ones that so many people can relate/find a connection to.
After becoming sober from alcohol after a DUI, this is what happened a couple times after the first few weeks of bad cravings as I didnt know what the hell to do. The gym and my chiropractors saved my life.
I'm a skinny guy, but this scene hit me in the face really hard. I felt like I was looking in the mirror.
How are you these days? Thinking about you
as someone who first deal with anorexia and now is trying to heal BED this scene HITS HARD
I just wanted to eat Pizza Hut and watch a movie and now I'm self conscious.
If somebody was asking, how it is to have binge eating disorder or bulimia, this is how it looks like. Life with those disorders is terrible exactly like that. This scene made me cry because it´s heartbreaking to see someone else doing it as well.
This scene broke my heart. I was once in this exact situation. The only difference was that alcohol was my choice of tool to destroy myself. But this is how exactly it is. You keep binging until you feel numb. You try to stay in that place where the hurt is not there so you keep consuming and consuming, until your body gives up. After puking my gutts out, later on I would just sob and really hate myself for being defeated. I would sometimes even hit myself.
Exercise, self-love and focusing on work really helped me a lot. I also dedicated myself to serving a purpose greater than myself. That gave me a reason to not destroy myself. Although the temptation is always there though. The possibility of relapsing is something I need to fight everyday, since I am dealing with PTSD.
Thank you for sharing your story 🫂
I comeback to this video once in a while to see what I'm doing to myself. No, I'm not obese neither I am a fat person. Completely healthy but this scene reminds me how mindlessly I doom scroll internet, consume media content like there's no tomorrow. Multiple tabs open both in phone and monitor. Porn, A movie, multiple social media sites, UA-cam, quora, reddit going through all these in just a span of 20 minutes.
Sleep deprivation, no proper hydration. Just pure self-destruction just like shown in this video.
This scene isn't so much about eating specifically as it is about how we deal with stress. How do we react to stress? Pressure? Anxiety? This movie helped me realized the scariest thing in life isn't some ghost or monster in the corner of our room. This scene depicts moments when we're incapable of handling stress, and that has to be the scariest shit ever. Our reactions to intolerable strain will more likely kill us sooner than any shark in the water, or airplane malfunction, or shadow in the corner. Sure, at face value, it's a man binge eating. Although I believe it's a beautifully haunting allegory of the way we deal with tension, whether it be eating, not eating, smoking, drugs, burning bridges, shutting ourselves in, drinking... et frigg'n cetera. This scene is just too real to be afraid of a boogeyman.
Addiction. Desperately trying not to feel emotional pain. Knowing the numbness doesn’t last long. The panic begins. Frantically shoveling an shoving as much as you can, hoping you don’t get too full too fast, wanting it to last but wanting it be over with.
This is the first time I have ever even seen or thought of eating two slices of pizza at once. That alone was enough to throw me off in discomfort, well done.
This makes me want to cry. I know a few people who live like this and I love them so so so so much and I don’t know how to help them when they’re making choices like this. When they’re choking because they can’t shove enough food in their mouth because they’re so hungry and so lonely and so upset with themselves that they can’t control it and then an hour or two later they’re sobbing their eyes out out of shame and disgust and disappointment in themselves and just feel like a lost cause stuck in a viscous cycle that’s killing them. My mom has had issues with binge eating my whole life and she raised me and my sisters very healthy despite her own addiction and I ended up dealing with anorexia out of fear of ending up like that and it put me in the hospital and my mom stayed with me the whole time and tried not to cry but she felt so responsible for me ending up there and she kept telling doctors that it was her fault and that shattered my heart. My heart absolutely breaks for people struggling with addictions like this. I see this and I see drug addicts the same, they’re all going to die unless they find the strength in themselves or someone is willing to sacrifice themself to help them and get them the care they need. It’s such a cruel life to live. I wish I could do something, anything to help.
This hits closer to home with my binge eating disorder the amount of pain I felt in my abdomen after so much food. It was also because I would eat hardly anything for a week then binge.
I hope things are better for you now I suffered from a lot of mental health leaving the military but now on the other side of the fence enjoying life. It takes work daily to overcome obstacles in the mind but there is calmness after the storm.
@@user-cq2xk3is2n I hope you are doing ok 😢💖🌸
Damn. I felt this scene in the theater. Food addiction makes you go crazy once you start eating good food. It's exciting in your head, but this scene portrays the reality of it very well.
The music is so hype, it’s like he’s going hard, like he’s pushing. He’s an inspiration!
It's amazing how they make the eating so sad. How it shows you someone's eating being a comfort but also the hate in his eyes the self loathing because he can't stop.
When you on that ZAZA and you on a mission to find the best munchies 💯💯🚬🚬
You mean weed you mong. Lol
Lmao
Loooooooool
That delivery guy scene jumpscared me worse than most horrors ngl
As someone who has never had a proper binging episode, but got pretty darn close to one by eating their feelings, this was quite literally terrifying to watch.
Nikocado Avocado have been real quiet right now
Nikocado avocado real life adaption looks dope
Except he did it because the fame got to him, not because of Charlie because of depression and eating as a coping thing.
he was meme'ing it all the way, he just did it for "luls"
This is Nikocado Avocado irl
no matter what kind of addict you are, this is relatable when you are having a self destructive/bad day.
Amen. It was downright frightening how much I connected to this scene as a binge drinker
Before my gastric surgery, i did have my binge moments. But they were thankfully never this out of control. Im so grateful i was fortunate enough to reach out for help.
God that pizza looks good
It really doesn’t look that good to me anymore 🤢. Shit I’m eating a salad for the rest of the year.
It look awful
Out of context, I’m with you buddy.
@@ugoiba5357 the hell context have to do with it? It looks great either way
Is it Sausage and Pepperoni?
This story has a lot of similarities to Requiem for a Dream, Aronofskys other film, it’s absolutely horrifying to watch a person self destruct like that. I don’t even think he stood up at the end, I think it was just his dying dream
I didn’t know it was the same director! !
this scene was absolutely heartbreaking. i had snacks to see the whale but i instantly got put off at this scene. i still struggle with just eating when im bored or to destruct myself from my feelings about everything. it’s truly, truly consuming and just overall so horrible
I'm not a binge eater, but I definitely do snack a lot of unhealthy stuff. This scene pretty much sums part of my feelings when I'm doing it.
This scene is so Disturbing and Terrifing to me. Not the fact that Charlie is overweight, but that his life is so down that he feels like eating is the only way for him to feel worth. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy.
The grimness of this scene is so accurate, I think that’s the reason why it’s so hard to watch. It’s so real! The sound effects of the food when he eats it, what you yourself hear when you actually eat. Also the lighting of the scene makes it feel like your in some shitty apartment with some nicotine covered light bulbs. The director really did an outstanding job, he puts you in the moment with him. I need to watch this whole movie.
Brendon killed this role. Absolutely horrific scene, just oozes desperation and addiction 😮
This movie scene really made us create fear of becoming obese and wants us to change our bodies to healthy state before the bad happens, before it's too late.
This brings me back to how I used to cope in my abusive relationship with my ex. I gained a whopping 35lbs in five years. I don’t miss that time in my life and I don’t wish this on anybody.
After seeing this scene I genuinely think about it often when eating. I sometimes find myself eating to much to fast to a point of getting really bad reflux where I have to go vomit. This scene genuinely felt like a good wake up call before it getting out of hand
Not even a suicidal food binge can lead a man to eat the crust
i eat the crust
Shoutout to the dude who thinks this scene is just trying to be dramatic and isn’t a real depiction of what truly debilitating bing eating looks like
People call this scene over the top or stupid. But if you have any sort of depression resulting in shoving endless food in your mouth just to feel bit better, you know well this was on spot.
bro this scene real as hell. as i binge eater that trying to improving life this movie is that movie is top at quality but not like a exaggereated acting but on the spot as hell.
Masterpiece of a movie. This was very horrifying and that of uncomfortable viewing. Well done director
Imagine eating until you are close to death, that’s something beyond horrific
POV: The King of Mukbang
nikocado has been dethroned
Loved this movie and Brendan's performance. Such a haunting score as well.
This scene was basically me the day my braces were removed.
He won an Oscar playing himself basically
He is not fat he is wearing a suit. Fraser is a tall fairly built and in shape man.
me off the zaza
It’s a hell of a thing watching people self destruct
Wow, this scene is so incredibly accurate it’s scary. As a binge/emotional eater it’s jarring to see it as an observer instead of the participant, but I’ve had nights like this. You are disgustingly full but it’s like your stop button is broken, you just continue to frantically shovel down food. The next morning is always hell when you have to tidy up and you feel like a total failure on multiple levels, plus you are half dead from all the sodium, sugar and carbs sluggishly digesting.
This comment is exactly it. The shame and guilt the next morning trying to tidy it away or hide it in the bin so no one sees the evidence of your binge.
And yes feeling sluggish and ill the next day. I had to call in sick to work the next day after a particularly bad binge because I felt so horrifically sick I couldn't leave my bed without feeling really really ill and crying. I actually thought I might need to call an ambulance because of how horrific I felt.
It really is a gut wrenching addiction :-(
I dunno man. This looks like my typical Thursday evening.
A friend recommended this movie and I cried at this scene, cause it's how I am with alcohol. It was a real wake up call and I knew if I kept it up I'd be dead sooner than I knew it.
He’s just bulking
I used to be as big as this guy, and let me tell you, we don’t even eat that much food. A lot of thinner guys ate much more than I did when I was that weight.
The reason for the morbid obesity are past defeats piling on past defeats. Until you become as big as the whale even if you eat less than an athlete with a good body
as a long-term emotional binge eater this shit was exposing af
what a brilliant and heartbreaking performance
It's both touching and heartbreaking to see the amount of comments here from people coming forward with their addictions and saying how honestly this scene captures it. I thought about my own gambling addiction (a year and a half sober now) and how I would spiral for hours and hours and it would be a toxic rush of dopamine until the sky got dark and I'd end the day feeling sick and empty.
I genuinely felt a heartache from this scene. Self destruction is horrifying.
I don't normally get creeped out in movies but this had me on the edge of my seat
It’s scary how accurate this is to me when my hunger cravings hit. Granted I’m not overweight and physically unfit but this scene giving me huge warning signs.
This scene is a completely different situation. He's not eating from hunger, he's eating as a harmful, desperate way to cope with the stress in his life
The fact that he eats a whole pizza that you don't even see. That would be a large amount of food in itself
He went from hunting mummies to hunting pizzas
