It *became* a twist bc of misleadingly cut trailers, but in the actual movie it's clear from the outset this is what happens

It would be a twist if they started with Pratt and Lawrence on the ship and we found out about the "twist" at the same time she did

I'm not the biggest film buff but I'm honestly blanking. Just imagining "Misery, but she's attractive and sympathetic"

I thought Orange is the New Black was gutsy for Lorna being a straight-up stalker who's played sympathetically

Hollywood won't seriously do "I married my stalker" with a dude bc male writers can put themselves in that situation

It's played for horror or for laughs in that situation because guys know a guy cheerfully acquiescing to that situation is not realistic

I'm partially frustrated too bc the situation in the film is a GREAT situation for a thriller/horror/Twilight-Zone-style plot

Aurora's situation is genuinely nightmarish and one there's no good way out of (counting the movie's actual ending as a bad way out)

Now I'm imagining if Aurora had taken the chance to go back to sleep, only to wake up and discover Jim wrote an epic memoir before dying
