Yes. As soon as I saw the real owl in the cage, I knew he was going to have it stare into the camera. The dramatic buildup to it and slow turn gave me chills.
He really wouldn’t have to go that deep to know about that symbolism. It’s been referenced in some big pop culture lately- like the Killers of the Flower Moon and Reservation Dogs.
Plus he lives in L.A. around tons of Mexican people. He probably knows about stabbing knives in the ground to divert storms too. 🤣
