Reply to comment by Rayliex in I hated the film 'Nope' by jonah_wilkie

It might be expactation of mine which built up by his two movies or maybe I have been trying to go deeper on the movies which is a habit I developed after watching many movies. In a sense, it is a media literacy, however, if you have seen all of the previous works of a director and dig deep on what it is trying to tell, I think that ypu would have much prepared mindset. It might be a crude example but, at the early MCU movies people did not know after credits scene but as it got bigger people started to expect it. That is the way I think about Peele’s films. Like characteristics of Lynch movies which you can put all of your brain-power to decyphir it (except Elephtman) but still cannot fully explain what they are telling.

I haven't seen Jordan Peele's other films, though I am planning to since I really enjoyed Nope. People each have different ways of watching films and if you watch enough you definitely build a skill of digger deeper and understanding media literacy.

Though to a general audience, it tends to only go surface level.

For example, most people will see Alien as a movie about just Ellen Ripley against the Xenomorph and such, whilst others will see the deeper ideas of pregnancy and rape.
