- Welcome back to my channel! Here is my laid back review of NOPE.
Let me know what you thought of the film in the comment section!
Nope is a 2022 American science fiction horror film written, directed, and co-produced by Jordan Peele under his Monkeypaw Productions banner. Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Michael Wincott, and Brandon Perea, it follows two ranch-owning siblings who attempt to capture evidence of an unidentified flying object.

The most ironic thing is that Logal Paul (you know the guy that filmed a dead body and posted it online) said that this was the worst movie he's ever seen 🤣
I've never seen such a ironic take on this movie. Honestly not surprised he missed the point lol
Yes 😆
Course he did
The Jupe character continues in the film through the balloon. The Jupe balloon is fist bumping Jean Jacket at the end just like kid Jupe fist bumped Gordy and Jupe's voice on the loudspeaker is the last lines of the movie.
We get to see young OJ and young Jupe as they learn about animals. OJ learns to love and respect them. Jupe learns to exploit them for profit.
I agree the creature is a cryptid species that could have been on Earth forever.
Oj certainly doesn’t love and respect animals. He goads JJ on until they kill it in the end. He’s totally unfazed by its death. The themes in the moving contradict in ways that are unethical to just leave hanging out there for interpretation.
@@Theyungcity23 OJ and Jean Jacket were in a battle for supremacy for the land. 2 alphas in conflict over what they saw as theirs.
I’m glad to see your cryptic theory because most people assume it’s from outer space but it doesn’t have to be.
@@blackrahk2037 And the land is the Haywood ancestral land. It's Jupe's fault that JJ became territorial over the Haywood land and had to be killed.
@@lkeke35 It's just hard for people to get beyond the ideas that they went into the story believing. They wanted an alien invasion movie so they are not letting go of that alien, even though this is a soft bodied animal that obviously can't pilot a spaceship or survive going through our atmosphere without one.
Huge point. We keep assuming the creature is of extra-terrestrial origin but it could literally just be a creature of earth and is simply the last of its kind.
welp another species in our list lol
WAS
The Gordy scene was the most unsettling . I think what made it so terrifying was that whole situation coukd easliy happen irl. Him staring straight at the camera made me squirm.
The Gordy scene was unsettling but the scene with the people screaming and crying while being eaten takes it for me
@@ShadowLucario64
The audio of that scene was definitely terrifying and when it flew around and their screaming could be hear was intense
This did happen in real life a woman had he face and hand ripped off by her pet chimp. The woman was on the Oprah Winfrey show dressed just like the woman in the movie
@@matsujonen it was actually the owner's good friend who helped care for Travis (the chimp). She was trying to get him back in the house and she was holding the chimp's Elmo doll and something made him snap. That poor woman basically had no face left. The owner was screaming and called the cops and they had to shoot him. Up to that point, Travis was a local celebrity who was known to star in a few commercials and had lived in peace with his original owners for like 12 years. Truly horrifying, but illustrative that in the end, he was a wild animal who got triggered by something seemingly benign and consequently went on the attack.
@@DesDocs is there an extended movie version (a directors cut) of "Nope"?
I didn’t quite get the point of the Gordy subplot at first, but I also realized that it had to be there for a reason. It had too much screen time not to. So I spent the night thinking about it, and eventually figured out why it was so important.
I think a lot of people didn’t take the time to really think about it before writing it off as pointless, which is unfortunate, because it really ties the themes of the movie together.
I hated this movie when I first saw it - but… it stuck with me. I kept thinking about it so I went online to see what people thought and then, so went to see it a 2nd time… This movie is *begging* for a 2nd viewing… Peele is a genius. Almost everything has a double meaning… What I’ve noticed is that people who watch a lot of movies tended to “get it” right away… For some of us, who really only come out for special occasions (ie- a new Jordan Peele joint), it was harder to grasp… My only gripe with the movie is that when I watched it at first, I felt I really didn’t understand what was going on or how all the pieces fit… I mean, so knew it was an alien but like, the spectacle itself eating people and projecting their pain - that part of it was lost on me at first. I had to read up on it and then see it again… I don’t think a “summer blockbuster” should be that hard to access. But once you do, it’s a masterpiece…
Dude. Every time you said "Gordy's Home" in this video I heard "God is Home". Then thinking of the famous shot of Jupe looking up into the belly of the beast...ZOIKS.
Completely agreed that the Gordy content was crucial. It informed Jupe's state of mind that caused his actions. And yes, absolutely sad that the only way he could process that trauma was by thinking he had a special bond with something perceived as an "other". After all, he was the token Asian kid in an all white sitcom family. Maybe he felt that Gordy was perceived the same way, as part of the family, but still an "other". He probably wanted to believe that was their connection.
I'm starting to think that some people wanted another "Signs" or worse, "Independence Day". Of course Peele subverted all that. Surprised that people were at all surprised they got something different.
The scene where Jupe and his entire audience gets consumed by Jean Jacket caught me completely off guard. I was NOT prepared for the next shots from inside the belly and honestly I can't get that scene out of my head. Pure nightmare fuel!
Thank you so much for this review!! I watched this movie last Tuesday with my brother after he begged me to take him, and I had a blast with this movie. My brother, however, was disappointed. I think the main difference between us is the fact that he mainly uses apps like TikTok and is elated when his videos garner attention, while I use apps mainly for talking about my day with friends and I usually delete any posts I make that become popular. I think our different reactions to "spectacles" determined whether we liked the movie or not. My brother wishes that there was a spin off of Gordy's Home, as do many other people who watch the movie, but I think this *is* the spin off to Gordy's Home. This movie is about Jupe and how he grew (or didnt) after the incident. I believe that anyone who is begging for a spin off in this age of pointless cash grab sequels missed the point of the movie. This movie isn't a spectacle to watch mindlessly, it's a work of art that has a message and meaning to it, and is begging people to take something away from it. I think the people who would have begged for a Gordy's Home spin off would have definitely been one of those people in the crowd with Jupe as they got killed. Excellent review!!
I love the way you think!!!!!
Incoming Jupe character analysis: the way trauma affects the brain is to rewire it. When we experience something so terrible that we feared we might get hurt or die, we often become vigilant towards anything like it in the future, to the point that it can control us, it can steer our actions. We can even come to expect that it will happen again, can live our lives waiting for the tragedy to return. Because it did once, what's stopping it from coming back? Its like we are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Jupe has probably lived most of his life enveloped in showbiz. It's all he knows. He has no other tools or methods to express himself with, so he uses what he knows to earn a living and establish an identity. But the shoe is still standing up.
Like Gordy, like the Haywood ranch, Jupe was a token. He was the Asian kid in the western, on the sitcom. He was not a person with an ethnic background, he was a prop. Jupe clearly felt so much sympathy for Gordy, saw himself in the apes he worked with. He wanted to save the apes, wanted himself to be saved from an industry that dehumanised him and used him. But he becomes the exploiter himself. He uses OJ's horses as bait, commercialises his own family, his own trauma, to try and face the oncoming spectacle, the tragedy that he expects to happen again.
He tries to use Jean Jacket, not just to earn money, but to reshape a traumatic event in his life, to take control of a moment where he felt completely out of control. And he wants to make a connection with something that reminds him of Gordy. The apes were his friends. But they were also wild creatures capable of incomprehensible power and violence, just like Jean Jacket.
So he invites the monster in, hoping the other shoe will finally drop. And it does, but he does not have the skills to manage it, and so he is consumed by the spectacle.
Actually the poster Emerald noticed was the poster for Kid Sheriff. Then she notices the Mad Magazine about Gordy
Well the reason they don’t understand the film is these are not people who practice media literacy. They don’t really read films. And they got caught up in the spectacle. When a viewer gets caught up in the spectacle you don’t “think” about what you’re seeing, only feeling it, and that’s normal but this is one of those movies where you have to do both, and I don’t think they’re used to doing that.
For such people it’s just a string of different spectacles happening on the screen and they’re used to having those images directly related in sequence to each other. When those images are out of sequence they don’t see the connection, I think.
Congrats to you and your spouse on your son!
I subscribed. I just saw “Nope” two nights ago. It is definitely compelling and the rewatchability factor is high for me.
Yup, Jupe is an integral character. To me, he was standing up his trauma like the shoe that was standing up which he kept like a spectacle. He didn’t seem to address his trauma but got fixated on trying to exploit another unpredictable beast.
This is very long overdue, but I absolutely loved NOPE, it's my personal favorite from start to finish, it stuck with me ever since the first time I saw it. There were so many hidden details I found in the film, from the shoe standing up to everything else.
The Gordy's Home scene & the star lasso experience had me creeped out so badly. Anyway, Jupe's character was really unsettling because of the trauma that he went thru on the Gordy's Home set when Gordy went on a rampage and killed the cast members, but when Gordy saw jupe, jupe was looking at the shoe standing up because he was waiting for the other shoe to drop, that's what save him from certain death. Etc, when I found out that Jupe was feeding the Haywood's horses to Jean Jacket, I was shocked because he was the spectacle. hope that made sense lol
Jordan Peele is simply just a mastermind at what he does
@@DesDocs Anytime my friend
You are the 1st person who, like me, does not believe that Jean Jacket is necessarily an alien. That was never confirmed. I think it's just a rare creature. There are animals that we don't even know about yet, due to their lifestyles. Wouldn't surprise me that there was some random sky creature.
@@DesDocs & the fact that the animal somehow stops electronics from working leads to it being almost impossible to document if you had seen it!
I just wondered why nobody had talked about the 'monster' at previous shows. I know he told people to put their phones away, but people talk.
It was the first showing basically a dress rehearsal for a few people and Jupe’s horrifically disfigured co-star from Gordy’s attack.
Jupe had been feeding JeanJacket horses from OJ’s ranch for 6 months, which is why it had become territorial and continued to hunt in that area. Jupe’s debut show went wrong because the horse refused to come out of the box and the audience were all looking up at it. Hope that answers your question a little bit
@@nakicofie5916 Ah yes, that would explain it. Thank you.
Finally someone who likes and understands nope I don't get why a lot of people didn't like this movie it's fantastic.
Congrats on the new house and baby! Much love to you and yours.
While watching your video, there were *several* times where I said out loud, "That's such a good perspective on that!" You absolutely captured my thoughts on the movie, great video!
Happy to see this appear in my recommendations, good vid my guy, been wanting to watch this film until I saw the last trailer and it really put me off, but I’m gonna give it a watch now
So happy the algorithm took me here to your channel- spot on review! 👌
I enjoyed the movie. My only criticisms was that the first 30 minutes were a little slow for me, and I felt the finale was a little drawn out. Either than that I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
One last thing which isn’t really a criticism for me but everyone keeps pointing out the shoe standing up representing the idiom “waiting for the shoe to drop” as much as I liked the scene with Gordy I felt the shoe symbolism was a little too on the nose, but doesn’t detract too much for me.
I liked the slow burn and build up
@@chalmers1984 respect it. I didn’t think the movie was slow per se. I just felt it maybe could’ve held off on lingering on a few shots and maybe cut to the next shot sooner.
@@DesDocs I see what you mean. Love the channel.
Despite my criticisms Nope is still my #1 movie of the year so far. I look forward to what Jordan Peele is gonna cook up next
Great commentary man very insightful and thoughtful
This is such a nice video, very satisfying to listen to your ideas and thoughts, and your voice is perfect for these types of videos:) Followed
The people talking about cutting scenes lack understanding and critical thinking. It’s not for the small or narrow minded 😂🤣 great perspective really enjoyed the video
Nobody could have predicted the startling and astonishing mystery of the ufo.
bri8lliant analysis, man. loved the film, learned some more nuances that I did not understand clearly on my first watch. thanks!
Just looking through UA-cam for Nope analysis and happened upon this video. Sub earned. Enjoyed this video.
Love this take ❤
GOD IS HOME
I've come to understand that my major flaw as a person that is that I do not have a British accent
I loved the movie. I was quite bothered by all the reviews- I was just surprised so many reviewers were all able to catch all the symbolism and everyone seemed to have the same take on it. I couldn’t find a single review that wondered “why did the protagonist share a name with OJ Simpson?” Seems like another nod towards spectacle (the actress on set is visible shaken knowing his name is OJ and he’s back) since the OJ trial was just a huge fuckin mess. I think a lot of people want to seem smart so they watched the movie, read a review, and didn’t actually bother to think about it for themselves. This board has a lot of great ideas and theories! Really cool to see so many people using their own brains and not just repeating what they’ve read others write. Art, especially when it’s a film like this (you’re shown so much but there’s no exposition to explain it) is so much more fun when everyone gets to bring different ideas to it. It’s less “this is what this means” and more “these are the connections I made when I saw this”
I went into it blind, it was okay. Too much build up, but the plan was solid in the end. Needed a little more wrap up for the finale. The comparison to Jaws was justified.
Jupe represents someone not learning anything from experience.
Great video bro, I subbed
@@DesDocs of course!!
And I loved the way you talked about this film. It honestly may be one of my favorite horror/thriller movies I’ve seen
I think its not out of the question that the "alien" has some sort of control over animals. It seems like the alien was able to control the grasshopper to block the camera, so maybe the entire movie was set up by the alien by controlling Gordey to freak out all those years ago. A longshot, but it could crazily be true
10:00 “The monster” is from somewhere else…am I calling it an Alien? No. But it’s definitely from somewhere else. I’m very intrigued with the “Angel” theory about this specimen. Jordan and his Designers even turned to the BIBLE for its description of Angels and its actions. I’d take a look at that…a TON of connections about that hinted by Jupe that you might’ve missed ;)
@@DesDocs The movie starts with a Bible verse. Nahum 3:6 I will cast abominable filth upon you, Make you vile, And make you a spectacle.
@@DesDocs well besides the fact that it’s listed in the Films wiki that they researched that for part of its design. I’m not sure how the passage in the Bible goes but Jupe was “Sacrificing” specifically on Friday Evenings at a specific time of day which coincidentally matches the same time and same day Sacrifices were “given” to Angels as said in the Bible l. They also note that you’d be devoured if looking the Angel in its “Eye” as they didn’t “Allow” to be looked at. A lot of similarities to just be a “Animal.” But like I said it’s a theory that Jordan intentionally wanted to be talked about.
The "ophanim" are one kind of angelic beings described as flying wheels with eyes (not one or two, they have eyes everywhere). Their purpose is to proclaim the will of God to the people. They are also described as whirlwinds.
@@nr1229 this is correct. But only one kind. I also forgot to mention some of these Angels could manipulate animals. Which also coincidently brings you back to the scene where the Praying Mantis lands on one of the cameras OJ set up to catch Jean Jacket and didn’t leave until Jean Jacket went back into hiding. It’s tough thinking about all of this without jumping to conclusions but it’s crazy how all of it really connects. 2 months it’s been out and I still think about it.
@@TheGililgi Nice! I did not know about the animal control part.
It's funny. I didn't enjoy Nope that much, but I can see and really apreciate how smart and layered it is.
If it's an earthling that means biblical angels and all other ufo sightings from history are probably from these things coming out of hibernation.
I liked the movie but can't put my finger on why I'm not over the moon about it. I felt it was a bit slow. I enjoyed the characters and the acting. I liked it. I didn't love it though. I'm not sure if the stakes being purely about enrichment lowered the score for me or maybe just watching it on a home TV vs a theater. Solid movie in my books but just something meh about it I can't define.
If you go back and watch some of the reviewers takes none of them knew what this movie was. Worst case is Grace lol now she understands everything.
So much to like about this film, but omg did I HATE the characterisations 🤮🤮
"These are horse people"
Sure, except they never give two shits about their horses at any moment.
No one cares about the horses with a key implanted in it. No one runs to the horses when there are noises or weird shit going on outside.
OJ is in a constant bored trance. Doesn't even give a shit when his dad dies.
Angel is treated with contempt throughout the film, and Holst is a gross nobody of a character.
I couldn't have given less of a shit who gets eaten by the alien in this movie.
The Gordy's Home section is the best thing about this movie.
Also - I think OJ’s extra calm nature is a result of him living on a remote ranch raising largely silent animals… Daniel Kaluuya talks about really making an effort to get close to the horses during filming… There’s a shot where OJ is standing next to Ghost when he first escapes and he’s asking the horse what’s wrong… They are so close, their faces are almost touching - it was very intimate. I think Dan played the character that way on purpose to get that point across - that he is really close to/understands these animals… Which lends itself to him understanding “the alien”
Movie was boring af.
Agreed, the themes and ideas presented are cool but it was just so boring from a narrative perspective
@@zalky9109 who the fuck at the end of the day says wow that message about animal exploitation and how we humans do anything for money and fame nowadays is so interesting. The message is negative in my opinion, the whole idea of rejecting fame and riches is a fuckin joke….“I just watched Nope and I should try to become rich or famous because it said it was bad”
@@DesDocs I didn’t say you said that? And and if you read the comment I said that people say that the movies theme is exploitation and how far people are willing to go to get money and fame. People make up so many themes for this movie and they’re all cappin
@@zalky9109 what did you want from a narrative perspective. sure it was slow to build up the movie but i certainly didn't think it was boring
I hated this movie
Why?
@@DesDocs I think many of these people are just trolling or memeing at this point. Otherwise I don't get why there's so many people just trashing this movie without ellaborating any further.
@@adrianolmedos A lot of it doesn’t make sense plot wise and thematically.
It says have empathy for animals and we shouldn’t exploit them unless you’re trying to get a picture for Oprah in which case go ahead and kill them. And its fine if people die in pursuit of that picture. They could have just left. They had no right to kill it and the movie again sets the ground for that argument and it just abandons it at the end.
They can’t associate OJ with Zapatista’s and The Scorpion King and have him essentially murder w creature who was clearly there long before any of them.
Why is Jupe wrong for trying to tame the creature but our protagonists are considered justified in picking with it and ultimately killing it. Taming is clearly more ethical than killing.
There’s a lot of just plot details that didn’t make sense. Angel went to a crime scene to get some batteries? There was no other way to power those tube men? Why did Antler sacrifice himself for a magic hour shot when it very clearly was not the magic hour? It was like 2 minutes later. If Jupe knew the creature for any amount of time he would clearly know that if you look at it you die so why would he put it in front of an audience that includes his wife and children?
I can go on and on. I ambivalent on it but I’m liking it less and less from this discourse that suggests that if you don’t like it you don’t understand it’s totally clear message…
@@Theyungcity23
-Well, yeah, it says have empathy for animals, but if they're trying to kill you aren't you going to try and deffend yourself? You'll just stand there and let the animal kill you?
- They never once tried to kill jean jacket. They only tried to capture it on photo or video. Jean Jacket dying due to trying to swallow the balloon was not completely intended.
-Antler sacrifices himself for the perfect shot because it's made abundantly clear in the scenes he's in that he's gonna die soon anyway. He's very ill and when he sees the opportunity for the perfect shot, he takes it.
- Jupe is not trying to tame the UFO. He's sacrificing horses in order for the UFO to show up and make a spectacle out of it. You're the one that says that this film encourages animal cruelty but also cannot see the difference between the main characters, who are just trying to record the UFO, and Jupe, who is killing animals just to capitalize off of Jean Jacket?
- Angel doesn't show up to a crime scene to get the batteries. He steals them and almost gets busted. You keep taking shit out of it's context to say that there's a lot more things wrong with this movie than there actually are.
- Jupe didn't know that if you look at it you die because of many reasons. He's not a professional animal trainer, so he couldn't have made the same assumption that OJ did. And also, if he's doing that show in the first place, it means that he hasn't seen any people die to Jean Jacket. When OJ makes the assumtion that Jean Jacket only eats you if you look at it he's seen many people die to it. It's so obvious that it's weird that I am the one having to explain this to you,
All of this points come down to common sense and just not turning your brain off while watching the film. But other than that, this film is trying to be entertaining first, and delivering a message second. There's more things to a film other than the message it's trying to deliver.
@@adrianolmedos - If there was dangerous animal I wouldn't go from a safe place back to it and goad it into attacking me for a picture. If it was a registered endangered animal they would get locked up if the hate mob didn't get to them first. If I was being attacked I would kill it but there are people who with endangered animals and the idea of killing such an animal merely because it killed a people is ridiculous to them. I can probably find the interview where such a guy who works with tigers said exactly that. That's an extreme position but the film opens itself up for that. Such people are going to fill spoken too at the beginning and insulted by the end.
- This is like going into a tigers cage at the zoo to get a picture with it. And again if it was an endangered species the defense of "I didn't mean to kill it. I killed it on accident by sending a balloon at it that I knew it would try to bite\eat and that blew it up" is not going to fly.
-
- yeah I know that he's ill. I'm saying that if he associates the perfect shot with sunset or the magic hour then that clearly was not it.
- the people trying to get a picture to sell to Oprah who end up killing it are capitalizing off of it as well then. A lot of people are saying Jupe was trying to tame it echoing a line in the film where someone says "you cant take a predator you just enter a contract with it." I just used tame to describe feeding the creature to show it off. If you want to debate the accuracy of of my usage of word " tame" and its etymological roots that's a different discussion...
- Yes Angel stole them and also got busted. He stole them from the cars of the dead people from the show. You're not saying anything contrary to what I said. They could have just not shown him getting batteries in the riskiest way possible. They don't have powerful batteries at an electronics store?
-
- And you're missing what I'm saying. If Jupe has encountered the thing before and lived that must have been because he somehow figured out that you cant look at it. If he didn't it would have eaten him. And yet he doesn't understand that a crowd looking at it would kill them.
