Watched Marty Supreme, which was better than I was expecting, quite entertaining, funny, visually interesting, frenetic and uncomfortable in the way Safdie movies are. But it really leans into this sociological tic you often see in movies/books about successful people that the true artists, true geniuses, people at the highest levels of their field, must give themselves over to narcissism/sociopathy/cruel often self-sabotaging obsession. All of the main characters are some version of this. Possessed like heroin addicts by their pet passion, however trivial (like ping pong), and willing to destroy themselves and everyone around them in its singular pursuit. Some highly successful people are like of this course, possessed by their goals in this self-destructive way, but this trope is mostly cope in my experience. The idea that to become truly successful one must become evil, one must make some kind of Faustian bargain, one must commit himself to misery in all other things, is a way for non-successful people, the less motivated or talented, to tell themselves their shortcomings are in fact an expression of their virtue and moral superiority over the guy who has made it to the top of the mountain. In fact, the most successful people I know, rich, powerful, highly accomplished across a number of domains, while unique in their own ways, often weird, and even unusually obsessive, are not sociopathic or self-sabotaging at all and seem to be as satisfied and well-adjusted to the world as anyone else, and usually more so. The malignant narcissist, on the other hand, tends to flame out and self-implode well short of the summit.

BREAKING: these are not the same companies
