When we think of incel movies the first that comes to mind is usually Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver. And more recently, Todd Phillip's Joker.
Both movies do a good job capturing the psychological toll of isolation and how it causes men to lash out.
But I tend to think Blade Runner 2049 does a better job of capturing the True Forced Loneliness aspect of Inceldom....
Officer KD6-3.7 (played by Ryan Gosling) is a replicant. He's a social outcast that gets mistreated and disrespected by society.
He does his job and then comes home to a holographic girlfriend, JOI played by Ana de Armas.
He develops genuine feelings of love for his AI girlfriend and he believes she genuinely loves him too. But later on in the movie we see a scene where he comes across an advertisement for JOI and he's reminded that she's just an AI that's programmed to be a companion.
He realizes that nobody has ever loved him nor will anybody ever love him.
At the end of the movie he dies alone on a staircase. No one will mourn him and no one will remember him.
Officer K definitely fits the incel archetype.
I have to wonder if virtual girlfriends (or robot sex dolls) ever became a reality how many of us would end up in a relationship with an artificial girlfriend.
