OJ Haywood is the example of autistic swag, his special interest for horses and how to properly tend to their needs literally saved the day

He's an icon, he's a legend, and he is the moment

[professorsta]

People calling Oj stoic and boring are we talking about the same man? Who only went back to defeat a whole ass alien cus he loves his horses and survived because he was able to live near Jean Jacket without pissing it off for 6 months? We talking about the guy who could face a 100 feet tall jellyfish but got scared by a bunch of children playing a prank on him? The guy who opened his truck door when he didn’t have to just to make sure his sister and Angel were safe first? Who loves his sister so much he made sure she knew that he saw her before sacrificing himself for her? He went back for the ranch because he said they’d be homeless if they didn’t try and get it back from JJ! You’ve ever heard some movie logic like that? Otis has to be the first horror movie protag to go back and defend their home because they’d straight up having nothing to their name if they didn’t. He locked his door after JJ broke his car windshield you wish you were that funny! He’s brilliant! He’s sentimental! He’s a good brother! He believes in the supernatural at a drop of a fucking hat! JJ respected his weird ass just enough to give him extra time to survive. Otis is a lovely character y’all just don’t Pay Attention

“Don’t look him in the eye.” -Haywood, OJ

[morgue-xiiv]

Nope has like one significant white character and he was the only character whose name I couldn't remember at the end of the film. No problem remembering the Haywoods: OJ, Em, Otis Senior. nor Lucky, Angel, Jupiter, Jean Jacket. All easy to remember (I guess Jupe's more of a stage name but whatever) But the white guy? I couldn't remember and nor could the person I went to the cinema with who actually LIKED that fucking guy. So I figure his name was probably boring and harder to remember than something catchy like "Emerald Haywood". NOPE. Looked it up, and his name was fucking Antlers. That's normally shit I'd remember.

honestly interesting that every character's name is a word even a noun. OJ (An Americanism short for orange juice), Emerald, Jupiter, Angel, Antler, Jean Jacket. Only Lucky is an adjective. The character with the most NAME name dies in the first scene. Everyone else is known by ~•~Highly Iconic Stage Names~•~. Does that mean something? To the core themes of *checks notes* Holywood? Horses? I don't watch a lot of films. What's a theme.

Jordan Peele Breaks Down Recreating Iconic Akira Moment In Nope

Jordan Peele Breaks Down Recreating Iconic Akira Moment In Nope

Jordan Peele broke down his decision to recreate the iconic Akira moment featured in Nope. Peele’s latest film was released earlier this year on July 18, marking his third directorial work after 2019’s Us. Like in its predecessors, Peele combines a mix of genres: this time, horror, science-fiction, and even Western. Set in present-day Agua Dulce, CA, siblings “OJ” Haywood, Jr. (Daniel Kaluuya)…

[ID: A screetshot of a reply from user averagemartian that says "Making a spectacle out of tragedy and exploitation but i think it stops there plus the hunger games movies watered down the shit out of the concepts from the books." End of ID]

Yeah, I expressed myself badly, I meant that both have a common theme about making a spectacle out of tragedy and about exploitation not that both spectacularize tragedy. On the contrary, they're both very critical of the consumption and voyerism in it.

To develop on that:

THG movies unfortunately did much of what the books criticize media for doing. For example I still think they're cowards for skimming through characters' disabilities and abuse of the victors, and for whitewashing, plus focusing too much on the romantic aspects of it, but the books do a good job at making you care about the losses and the people affected by it and humanizing everyone (even if that's better in Nope because it's self-representative and also more recent, so an entirely different market (which is not an excuse, but should be acknowledged))

Worth noting also that the books do deal well with deeper stuff like all the trauma, which I guess it also has in common with Nope since Nope also has themes of trauma and erasure and you have the Haywood siblings controlling the narrative by being the ones who actually understand what's up and the ones who succeed where everyone else fails, because they're the ones most affected by everything, plus the loss of their father and a legacy at risk on top of all the creepy shit. The movie is also very kind to show Jupe's reaction to JJ as a result of Groudy/hollywood trauma instead of just making him a one-sided villain.

But I think that another central theme of Nope is 'don't fuck with wild animals' (and be respectful to animals in general since OJ is shown to deeply care about his horses and he's the one to figure Jean Jacket out as the animal it is instead of anthropomorphizing it like Jupe) which THG doesn't remotely touch since it's focused on all the revolution/war stuff.

Not to mention the whole Bad Miracle thing which I can't even think of a narrative equivalent in THG to ponder together, or the re-reading and mixing of the western genre, or reclaiming that imagery/icon of man on horse from the opening to that final shot of OJ.

One preceeds the other by 10 years so they could indeed have a conversation; the exchange is good and nothing exists in a bubble etc etc, but it might be a disservice to Nope (in its uniqueness and sincerity and the precision of execution, as opposed to a blockbuster adaptation that sometimes misses the point) to band it together with THG movies only because both are critical of a shared theme among a bunch of other different themes.

Two movies that have a lot in common:

NOPE and Hunger Games Discuss.
