The OA pt 2

After watching the entire first season of the show “The OA”, I wasn’t sure exactly how to interpret the ending. So, me being me, I went and did a little research on it. I guess I should add in a little spoiler alert, as I didn’t pick up a clear moral or lesson until the very end. In the show, The OA educates her new found friends on her life and where she had been the past few years of being missing. Towards the end, the friends she’s made begin to question if she was really telling the truth about her experiences. Though, in the end, they decided to believe her and ended up saving a lot of people in their school. While this may sound a little cheesy, I feel as though the OA was meant to show to teach how to unquestionably be able to trust people, no matter how crazy something may seem. The OA’s friends, towards the end of her story, the people that had been helping her along the way and listening to her story began to find holes in her story, and think that she might be crazy and she made the whole thing up. Some believe her therapist planted evidence at her house to make everyone think for sure that she based her story off of many others. So, eventually, her friends stop believing in her and leave her side. However, the OA starts having dreams that lead her to believe something terrible is going to happen. She’s trying to figure it out in order to save others, but at first it simply confuses her. A month passes, and the OA comes to realize what is about to happen. After a school shooter goes to the school all her new friends attended, they all came together to perform the movements she had taught to them. In the end, they aid in saving the majority of their school, and the OA potentially dies in the open fire. In the end, they realize all they had to do was put some faith into her and her story. The show demonstrates how some people may not seem logical, they may not seem trustworthy, and maybe even a little crazy. However, sometimes people just need a little faith, and good things could come their way, and tragedy can be prevented. While, in the end, the OA may have perished, she still was able to save the many by gaining friends and showing them how to help others.
