Also, re: gender roles - do mainstream films do female stalkers who aren't clearly played for laughs or clearly painted as evil and scary

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

But they still don't go the angle of having her successfully end up in a relationship with the victim of her stalking

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

And finding that the whole new society on the alien planet takes Jim's book as a sort of founding myth and turns against her for leaving him

Or there's the ending where Aurora does kill Jim in a rage, and now Aurora is alone, wrestling w the urge to wake someone up

Maybe (callout to ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND) a black-comedy daisy chain of people waking each other up until it all falls apart
