3. One sinister thing I saw only rewatching is the idea whites are smarter and blacks given superior

Physical bodies and that makes it okay for them - if they figure out how to- to take those bodies and have the best of both worlds. it's a metaphor for excusing colonialism and slavery. That the mom finds his vulnerability in not having the strength of character to help his mom, that all the men in her life aren't taking care of her is proof their white patriarchal society is superior and righteous. It's the ultimate in patriarchy- we'll take over you're body becasue you'd make the wrong choices anyway.

Sorry to go on and on but there's so much to think about, yet it's so visceral and entertaining. If it doesn't get a few Oscars I'm going to be pissed off!
