Beau Is Afraid
doesnt matter how many times i watch this movie, im always finding new things fuck i love beau is afraid
stuff i noticed and love :3
– "listen to your mother when i tell you to not leave my side" at the very beginning ?? best foreshadowing ever + the credits calling them “boat boy” and “fraught woman looking for boat boy” is so funny
– how mona controls EVERYTHING !! not just beau. what he eats (food by MW), what he uses (microwave, appliances, even dental floss by MW), where he lives (places and apartments by MW), and even THE MOVIE itself (it literally starts with the MW logo)
– the line “im so sorry” said in the exact same tone by three different people (ups guy, therapist, and the man from the play)
– beau’s wife in the play being a redhead 😭
– the whole scene where mona tells beau how his father died. the way the lights shift, the shapes, her voice… so hypnotizing and unsettling at the same time
– roger turning out to be mona’s employee
– the entire movie being spoiled on channel 78
– the lawyer barely having a voice, not even letting beau defend himself — i like thinking of it as a symbol of his own cowardice
fun fact : did yall know that in the og script mona had already been buried when beau calls the lawyer? funny
