Jordan Peele

🎲

Film director identified as the poster child for modern filmmaking that contains too many self-conscious decisions and anti-immersive techniques.

"The final act of Get Out should be seen as a dark comedy about an irrational fear being brought to its logical conclusion and not a moment of catharsis for angry and insecure black people."

"It's like it wants to evoke emotion, but it's too cool to go all the way, therefore giving it a somewhat detached feeling. Is it the Jordan Peelification of cinema?"

"I saw The Menu last night and it left me feeling cold in the same way as Knives Out and Nope and all these buzz films of the last few years (Jordan Peele is the poster child for this). Films nowadays, especially 'good' films, contain too many *decisions*. Almost every shot contains some kind of prod"

"Is Jordan Peele the current most overrated director? Get Out has a decent setup, but a terrible third act. Haven't seen Us, but the Candyman reboot he executive produced was abysmal"
Just watched Nope and that shit sucked ass · u/[deleted] · ↑32 · 2023-03-17
