The new "Obsession" movie's plot is basic but very interesting: a guy uses some wish-box to have a girl like him back. It ends up being a horror movie, but it beautifully shows the logical implications of wishing someone to love us back: we end up distorting the person we love. They are no longer an independent person with their own goals and dreams.

Do you think that the "friendzone" fallacy is often a difficulty to carry out the actual implications of our desires? It forgets that asking for a person to love us back has the unintended consequenes of distorting their overall personallity.

I thought it was an interesting point of view from the movie.
