Jude Law is the real MVP of this movie, I always thought Like he's the one I actually identified with, not Vincent "I just lent you my body; you lent me your dream"

The ending where he incinerates himself because the only important thing is that Vincent live Jerome Morrow's life for both of them, and he's just inconvenient dead weight, is... not okay

It coded things in that are ugly trying to create dramatic stakes, which happens a lot. Counterpoint: being nowhere as a kid and wondering how the fuck are *you* ever gonna claw your way out of this.

Everyone has their own particular damage I guess the only way you can sell Eugene's damage of being born rich and privileged as being as bad as Vincent's damage of being worthless trash is for Eugene to literally set himself on fire

I mean, the only villains in the story are Vincent’s parents IMO, for being loser hippies who denied their kid medical treatment I might have some investment in that

There's no treatment to genetically engineer a fetus after it's been conceived in this world, that's a big part of the premise (there's no way to "fix" him), all they have is IVF plus genetic screening (which isn't that far away irl)

So the only way to "treat" Vincent would've been to abort him and have another kid when they were ready ...And, I mean, since they *did* have another kid when they were ready, Anton, that other timeline is just a timeline where Vincent just plain doesn't exist
