There could be a million reasons, but here’s one I’m familiar with - ‘task inertia’, resulting from ADHD, perfectionism, fear of failure etc

I feel like you are both making the same point but it sounds argumentative for some reason

Commented about this recently somewhere else, so it’s what came to mind first - ‘Mother’ by Darren Aronofsky. I came away from watching it really excited about interpretations involving artists, egos, glorified relationships with their ‘muse’ that drains that partner completely until they have nothing more to give and are discarded, shattered, while the artist is adored etc.

Aronofsky himself describes it with a fixed interpretation of (paraphrasing) ‘she represents mother earth, and we are taking from her and destroying her’. Which in my opinion is just kinda boring. I can see it fitting, but it just makes the whole movie much less interesting to me

I have to ask - did you read that entire comment and not detect any hint of sarcasm?
