Nope

This is a five star movie for me. I know I've given it 4 1/2 in the past, but it's five stars, I was a child then. What I keep coming back to in rewatches of Nope is what it's saying about the exploitation of trauma (especially for people of colour) and the predatory nature of spectatorship. We (the viewers with a lower-case 'v') want to gaze but not necessarily be gazed upon. When we are gazed upon, or when we see a mirror image of ourselves, we are more likely to lash out at the holder of the mirror (camera). Idk, I'm sure people smarter than me have analyzed this part of it but I just wanted it noted that I sort of get it, too!
