I HAVE FORMULATED AN ORIGINAL NOPE (2022) THOUGHT. em says training jean jacket was her birthright- and the film ends with her being the one to tame jean jacket (the viewer) by taking a picture of it and fulfilling her birthright. the film makes it clear that surveillance, observing and recording = taming and ownership. gordy is seen as tame because he is a recorded tv character. lucky doing the commercial is seen as tame because he’s being recorded and observed. and in the instances of gordy and lucky, it backfired on the observer, but not for em, because she knows to respect the animal and show deference to it, even while breaking it. because she’s a haywood, because it’s her family’s legacy, because it’s her birthright

ok sorry i have something to say about nope. i have seen a lot of ppl talking ab oj avoiding eye contact w everybody 99% of the time & a lot of ppl have been reading this as his character being autism coded. which is great! as a Black autistic person i’m like fuck yeah! turn that shit up!

but there are layers here. oj’s Blackness plays an evident role. so many of the characters that he is actively Not Looking At are….. white. (i saw another user talking ab this and i’ll tag them if i can find their post again). there is a very real cultural significance of Black people not looking white people in the eye to avoid “causing problems” or literally being beat and/or murdered for it. this is central to the movie. oj is SMART. he is calculated and analytical, and he’s worked in the film business for a very long time. and this poses the question: in a movie about a spectacle, what does it mean to be invisible?

additionally, oj’s avoiding eye contact makes sense for his character even if he wasn’t autism-coded. if the whole point of the movie is that you are saved by not viewing the spectacle, it makes perfect sense that oj is avoiding everyone’s eyes. if you are saved by not seeing, what is it that would make you look? what would make you give up everything if you knew what you would lose?

there’s only one thing, of course. only one thing oj would give everything up for. and that’s his sister.
