#and OJ definitely spent all his life on the ranch unlike Em

[tuxxydo]

Yoooo did you just watch NOPE that is my favourite movie

oh no, i've seen it already DFBKNDFB. i just started thinking about the ending shot again cus it drives me up a wall.

like... if Peele wanted to show us that OJ was alive; why did he obscure him like this? At first, I was entertaining the idea that Jean Jacket actually killed him and Em is seeing his ghost (which is why their reunion is never shown. "Out Yonder" meaning OJ is "outside of the living world").

But NOW I'm entertaining the idea that the shot is a showing of OJ's ego death. Surviving Jean Jacket's onslaught has turned him into a spectacle. And unlike Emerald, he doesn't have a "personable" front to fall back on.

#a lot of OJ's lines are him talking about 'working' to some degree #and OJ definitely spent all his life on the ranch unlike Em #meaning all OJ knew was work #it's even evident in his name; Otis Jr Haywood #no unique name of his own; just another otis haywood #there's something there with OJ and individuality and capitalism #and how blk ppl have to give up themselves (individually) in order to get a seat at the table or any recognition for the prestige #and i just think of the current work climate and my coworkers and just... SIGH #THERE'S SOMETHING THERE #hey aliens it's me ur boy #tux's interrogation station
