[spoilers for nope (2022) ahead]

it’s been a couple days since we saw Nope and Oh My God I Cannot Stop Thinking About Jean Jacket. it’s a ufo. it’s an alien. it’s a force of nature. it’s an animal. a wild animal. a hungry, territorial, untameable predator. it’s a spectacle. an object of attention, obsession. an exploited show pony. a must-see event. with its gigantic screen-shaped eye it in itself IS a horror movie, a theater of billowing, constricting curtains and played back screams. it’s the viewed. it’s the Viewers. it’s the lens of the camera watching, capturing the image, of a black man on a horse. it’s an eye. it’s a mouth. it’s both, good god, it’s both. it ravenously consumes all who looks upon it and all it looks upon in return. it’s the perfect kind of movie monster that we as an audience are so horrified to look at, but the monster, in so many ways, is also us. it’s just us. we’re looking at a reflection, and it startles us, scares us. just like lucky at the beginning of the movie.

and it’s just fantastic.

#nope #nope movie #nope 2022 #it's very late and i need to go to bed but i also needed to ramble about JJ because im just entranced by it. the whole movie tbh #the way peele does nothing undeliberately. the way jupe calls JJ 'the viewers.' the way it's a fucking screen!!!!! #it's something we watch but also something watching us. the film and the camera. a window and a mirror #but at the same time it's something Perfectly Knowable. it's an animal! with animal instincts! #just the sheer amount of layers and themes and meanings flying around in this movie are going to make me crazy. i love it so much!! #i love media with many different themes at play!!! i love a good monster movie!!!! NOPE MAN FUCKING NOPE!!!!!! #GO SEE IT!!!!!
