[[28 Days of Horror Movies 2023]] [[Movies]] ## Thoughts (Spoilers on the general vibe of Nope's ending below) --- Stunning blend of horror and western. Incredible cinematography, perfect actors, just stellar all around. Love the happy ending tbh. Nope is a stunning blend of horror film and old-school western, and probably Peele's best movie, even if I personally *enjoy* [[Get Out (2017)|Get Out]] the most (if you're wondering how I feel about Us: it scares me the most, for some reason. I have a hard time rewatching that movie because it's so unsettling to me lol). I am a cavemint when it comes to movies. I do not particularly focus on or take notice of cinematography, as I'm mostly driven by plot (or action - again, cavemint). Nope is so good that it made me understand what a well-placed shot is. The lighting, color, and camerawork had me gripping my seat, even on my rewatch for Spook Month. The actors are absolutely perfect - Keke Palmer is undeniable, and I love Daniel Kaluuya's solemn, cowboy-esque demeanor. But most of all, I love the ending. I love it when Black people get to have their Oprah moment tbh. Life is miserable - let mfers have a good ending.
