I just watched a movie yesterday, some part of it made me think about Bambi sleep.
The name is : "the substance"
But, it's an horror film.
Have you ever watched it ?
Through the trailer we can already see this "Bambi" part .
There’s something similar, but it’s fundamentally different.
In the movie, an idealized version of yourself sort of emerges, which over time begins to compete with your old self; in a way, it’s a metaphor for trying so hard to project a successful persona to those around you that the mask fuses with your face and starts to get in the way of happiness or leads to self-destruction.
In Bambi’s case, however, the relationship is more symbiotic; Bambi, in an ideal scenario, is stronger and even has the power to control the original personality, is heavily dependent on its host; by harming the host, it essentially harms itself, and conflict arises not from competition but from differing perspectives on the same issues and what each personality believes is best for both of them.
In this regard, Venom is much closer to the Bambi concept.
