As for the ending, the last scene might actually be my favorite turn in the movie, and left me feeling weirdly inspired. Like other people have said, it's a lot more common to see safe liberal pablum sold as radical, and although Sorry to Bother You is inarguably bolder than that from the beginning, the place it seemed to be leaving off felt a little bit too cautious. And then we get the post-title card scene and a full on horse-person revolution. Boots isn't a social-democrat, he's a communist, and I think it's pretty clear at the end where he thinks things are heading.
Half of the people I saw this film with (earlier this evening) reckoned he took CEO dude's deal and the ending was a false flag. I think it's left in a way that gives room to that interpretation but also the idea that he's an authentic revolutionary.

I don't know quite what to think of this film. I mean, I loved it and think its powerful but I'm going to be thinking about it for a while.
