Good, if bleak film.
The main actor's performance really carried it. Him in your image there. A good representation of some of the drug addicts I have known. Leigh films have great characters.

Brilliant fucking movie. Gotta rewatch it soon.

Johnny projects his feelings of anger and disappointment with himself onto others, and especially onto women. What makes him so effective as a seducer is that women intuit how much he identifies with them; with their oppression, outsiderness, and vulnerability. But if women are romantically vulnerable to Johnny, he is sexually vulnerable to them, and he hates them for “feminizing” him in this way. Thus he is compelled to bully, hurt, and disappoint them, in order to prove that he is more powerful. In itself, this is not an unusual masculine psychosexual syndrome. What makes Johnny so fascinating is that he disguises his need for power as honesty. Johnny is on a mission to “free” people from the hopes, illusions, and expectations that a hypocritical society foists upon them. He responds to Sophie’s desire for romance, to an older woman’s explicit request to be physically abused, and to his ex-girlfriend’s hope for a real relationship by humiliating them for their “incorrect” approach to life. He hurts women, and then he abandons them. In the end, however, there is no doubt that it is Johnny who is literally crippled by the self-hatred he turns on others.
To clinch the case that Johnny cannot be disposed of by branding him a rapist and a sadist, Leigh introduces a subplot involving a rich twat named Jeremy, who is, indeed, a rapist, a sadist, and most likely a psychopath. Jeremy uses his class privilege and power to subjugate, hurt, and humiliate women. There is nothing ambiguous about his actions or his desires (although, in psychoanalytic terms, fear of feminization may be at the root of his behaviour as well). What is remarkable about Naked is that it reveals who Johnny is, not only by stripping him bare but also by juxtaposing him with the truly horrific thing he is not.

literally me

fantastic character analysis. My midwife takeaway was that the things you believe in your mind (and to some extent you can't control what you believe, but to the extent that you can, you should) can make you absolutely fucking miserable. Johnny sees himself as superior to everyone he meets, but is unable to ever demonstrate that because he simultaneously needs something (be it shelter, sex, food, compassion, entertainment, whatever) from them for his own well-being. He believes the world is coming to a premature end and preaches it to anyone who will listen - and it's not hard to have a bleak outlook on the future if you think everything's about to blow up anyway

Five Easy Pieces and Red Rocket have similar themes if anyone is looking for a movie like this, but they simply don't hit as hard, even if they're both great movies in their own right. Can someone recommend which Mike Leigh film to watch next?

what kino?

what film is this mustachio man photo from?

Naked (1993)

How can even people like him can get laid?

charisma

6'2 with all his teeth, that's like an 11/10 in bongland. It doesn't hurt that he's a dark triad personality (read: colossal piece of shit) as well, women adore that

Brainlet

Confidence and persistence. You have no idea how easy it truly easy. Unless you're just hideously ugly then sorry user but you're probably just a 6 you'll be fine.

Would transition have saved her?

Kys fucking newfags

anyone else blown away by how nice her legs and ass were? Still does not make sense to my brain, like it doesn't feel congruent with the rest of her appearance

There are millions of ugly women out there with nice bodies.

don't waste your life being angry at people over the internet, user

this is just false though, most women have fat or flabby bodies, or are covered in tattoos. A truly nice body is exceptionally rare
