unperceptive

Photographs are not transparent recordings of the world but projections of fictions, insightful or unperceptive, onto it.

Here and there, all alone in the emptiness, squats motionless a Bedouin woman, who, though she seems as unperceptive as a boulder, is keeping an eye on a camel or goat; and we pass a few torn and black Bedouin shelters that might be the old tents of Abraham.

But in “High Maintenance,” the joke is on the unperceptive buyer.

Doesn’t mean they’re bad people, or dumb, or unperceptive or even uncreative.

Hitchcock hints at the same ideas but leaves the sacred cinephile cow coyly untouched; it takes the director at his own tongue-in-cheek estimation of himself, while itself remaining unperceptive and wrongheaded about Psycho.
