***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Finally saw it for a second time and was able to watch for different things in the film and its reception.
-
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Last question (I think): was the audience initially mortified when the cop car pulled up at the end?
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I also wanna spend some time thinking critically about my consumption of this film as a nbpoc.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** I'm not black. But I've felt like absolute hell with the white familiar of a person I dated. Horrible shit.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Like the white mother ask for documentation of my baptism (make sure I wasn't *too* indigenous/savage).
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** But I've also seen anti-blackness operate in my own community when someone dates a black person.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** Even up to disowning family members because they married a black person. This is *very* persistent.
-
***GET OUT***SPOILER WARNING*** The film gave me more to think about the second time around, esp in terms of solidarity and complicity.

her death was when we were all the most vocal. There was one ww on my row (on a date with a black guy), who was pissed though
-
Wow. I wonder what the story is there...
@AdriaSkywalker -
She said, towards the end, "I black woman could do this too." The guy she was with told her to be quiet
-
Ok so what you're saying is that she was lucky she wasn't escorted out the theater

with majority black folks in Oakland CA. Everyone was yelling, applauding and commenting. In Sacramento CA it was pretty quiet.
