Even the original definition makes no sense to me. Like I don’t even understand how it could happen. Imagine being so weak minded that somebody can trick you into thinking you’re insane lmao
the original definition is just a type of lamp, the "frick with people" definition came from a movie called "gaslight," so "gaslighting" is just a shorthand for the plot of that movie.
>he thinks gaslighting is a reference to a movie
haha, holy shit. I bet you think when soldier boy said "superman these hoes" you thought he was talking about the comic books! haha you idiot. You know nothing.
>dude because something happened in a movie that came out 100 years ago that means every time someone says it, it's a movie reference
You're the dumbest person on Cinemaphile. Probably esl as well. No one agrees with you.

So of course you have proof the movie didn't link the concept to the term, and the term was used that way before the movie.

>Still don't know what 'gaslight' means.
A gaslight is a type of lamp wherein the burning of gas is used as either a source of heat or light.
It's also a 1944 film with Ingrid Bergman and Angela Lansbury.
That was seriously the worst season of Black Mirror ever. I mean like how did that shit even get greenlit? Not a single one of the stories was even sort of good. The one from pic related had some good acting....but that's about it. The Salma Hayek one and the paparazzi werewolf one literally felt like Netflix was telling me to go frick myself.
I have got to be the only person that actually really really liked that show. Maybe it's just because I like Pom, but it was also a story that provoked a reaction in me. Good or bad; that part doesn't matter.
The frick? There wasn't a single grammatical error in that post. Meanwhile you didn't even capitalize the first letter of your sentence, or end it with proper punctuation.

The ESL preemptively dropped the ESL on you. You got, got, yo.
I'll put it to you this way (and of course my opinion is a subjective one, but we all have a rather identical hivemind on here), the Miley Cyrus episode was actually kind of okay compared to the Salma Hayek one. When I saw the Miley episode I was just like "wtf, it's like a Disney Channel movie that was rated 'MA for Mature.'" BUT the Salma Hayek episode was literally infuriating. Like I know people see some shit on Netflix and sometimes say "I'm going to cancel my subscription!" but this was the one time I actually felt ripped off. I mean I'm even compelled to wonder if maybe that was the "message" of that episode? Maybe what they intended to induce was a literal hatred for Netflix. Now as I write this I'm starting to think that actually was the point. I don't know why they would do that, but it's the only conclusion I can draw.
The fricking werewolf one was just one giant disorganized mess. Like a total waste of time. I would seriously say that the one with Aaron Paul and Josh Hartnett was the best only because the acting was very well done and really did a good job of setting an ambience, but then it ends and it's like wtf?
Pic related is how I felt when I realized that it was basically 6 hours I'll never get back. Thankfully I watched it at work so I got paid to watch this shit.
ScarJo says "gaslighted" in Marriage Story. Go back.
The only reason Mara doesn't say it here is the story takes place in the '60s, albeit an alternate one. It was disappointing to see this premise wasted and the story to devolve into "man pretends to be somebody he's not". Merely wanting to have sex with a woman is now rape/gaslighting.
I wish they had shown that spaceman guy slaughtering this b***h like a farm animal. I wanted to see him flay her open with her screaming and okay with her innards while she fades in and out of consciousness before taking the final plunge
First episode was semi-interesting then got awful real quick.
Second episode - probably the best - has a bit of style/flair at least to it - decent enough story.
Third episode - interesting concept - but too many holes to be plausible even in a sci-fi setting. Conclusion wasn’t justified- nothing to suggest that the character would immediately go to such limits - finale therefore felt unearned.
Fourth episode - complete dogshit from start to finish.
Fifth episode - stupid fricking concept - demon dude was super cringe - pretty fricking awful all round.
For the fifth episode - wouldn’t a more interesting conclusion have been that she actually kills the Tory MP - and the world is ‘saved’ - however an Indian killing a Tory MP leads to a rise in British nationalism anyway - National Front get in to power - and then proceed to do all the shit that Tory MP was going to do anyway but even worse?
Still don't know what 'gaslight' means.
>No I didn't! You don't look like an extra from tim burtons planet of the apes! You look like a normal human woman!
Yes you do, you disingenuous frick.
I do?
No I don’t. Are you gaslitting me rn?
It used to mean "intentionally frick with someone's perception to make them doubt their sanity". Now it means "lie to".
Even the original definition makes no sense to me. Like I don’t even understand how it could happen. Imagine being so weak minded that somebody can trick you into thinking you’re insane lmao
In the original movie the point was making environmental changes so subtle that you're not sure there's any difference
>environmental changes so subtle that you're not sure there's any difference
Like climate change?

Pretending to be moronic isn't gaslighting.

>it used to mean lie to now it means lie to
meant for
to brap in someone's direction with intention to harm
>Still don't know what 'gaslight' means.

of course you don't know what it means its Cinemaphile
God forbid someone here watched a movie
Come on dude, it's 2023, you still haven't looked into it? Like that other anon said, you're being a disingenuous Black person.
it's when a woman loses an argument
It's when a man pretends to be a lesbian to have sex with a woman.
That was seriously the worst season of Black Mirror ever. I mean like how did that shit even get greenlit? Not a single one of the stories was even sort of good.

haven't watched it but it's hard to believe it could get worse than the miley cyrus season
That is the worst season
I have got to be the only person that actually really really liked that show. Maybe it's just because I like Pom, but it was also a story that provoked a reaction in me. Good or bad; that part doesn't matter.
This last season was just empty garbage.

>an actress said it so that means it’s true
We also must protect trans kids and stop global warming
>newBlack person missed the "YOU GASLIGHTED ME" variation meme
Huh?
Has she done anything new recently where she is nude again?
Do modern American women really speak like that? Serious question.
A 68-year-old secretary in my building once told me our boss "gaslights" her. So yes.
>YOU'RE MAKING ME WATCH LATER SEASONS OF BLACK MIRROR!
I’ve never been on /gif/ or Cinemaphile. are they worth a visit?
Ck is. Gif is lots of trannies and gays, and Flart
>I’ve never been on /gif/
Don't do it anon. Don't you ever venture out into those woods, you hear me? Promise me anon! I've seen things on there you wouldn't believe.

Holy frick. This is the most unhinged thing i’ve ever seen on this website, you need help man. Go to a counselor or something sheesh

4/10 all in.
>Second episode - probably the best - has a bit of style/flair at least to it - decent enough story.
Yeah the second one actually made me feel a little unsettled, I must admit. The location where it was filmed was also a nice little journey.
Everything else can go straight into the garbage. This anon isn't lying about the fourth episode being "complete dogshit from start to finish" though.
For the fifth episode - wouldn’t a more interesting conclusion have been that she actually kills the Tory MP - and the world is ‘saved’ - however an Indian killing a Tory MP leads to a rise in British nationalism anyway - National Front get in to power - and then proceed to do all the shit that Tory MP was going to do anyway but even worse?
The werewolf girl from the paparazzi episode was cute
