Absolutely fantastic. When I saw the trailers for 'Nope' I asked myself "who is this Jordan Peele and why should I care?".
Now I know.
I gained so much from this. So much new understanding. So much that I need to question my own thoughts and actions with regards to some things. This movie is going to stay in my mind for a long time.
Right from the offset, I was quite surprised at how the subtle and insidious behaviour was coming across. I wasn't even sure exactly how I could tell, or maybe that is my own bad assumptions? I have to be honest, I don't think so. I think it's something to do with the framing and the placement of the characters and the editing... I would say that the director did an amazing job at telling the story and making us sympathise with Chris. It makes me wonder though, why did I find Chris so relatable in this movie and why was that remarkable... I have to wonder if there is a problem in film making, or maybe it's just me.
I know that I have myself said in the past "I love learning about different cultures", and I really need to examine that among other things.
