Thankfully this wasn't another critical race theory propaganda piece from Jordan Peele. Get Out was rubbish. I quite liked Us it was very entertaining and had some interesting things to say about trauma. Nope's message is much more subtle, but I put forward that it regards the concept of spectacle and sensationalism which is something which dominates all of our forms of media these days, particularly social media, and the consequences of foregoing what is right and morality in pursuit of bigger spectacle. Again, Peele uses an entertaining and seemingly unrelated vehicle through which to explore this deeper subtext. This time round it is a sci-fi, horror, thriller vehicle. And the vehicle does look fantastic. I was not surprised to learn they used IMAX cameras, it really does look great and is perhaps worth the extra investment to see it on the big screen. As with his other two films though, I think he points to interesting concepts but doesn't have too much to say about them, he just asks questions. His thematic objectives are clearly important priorities for him, but remain subtle, and this is no different.
