Enjoyed this movie but man it asks you to suspend A LOT of disbelief
>Jupe does an alien show for a couple of months with an alien appearance at least once a week and OJ never noticed this entire time
>An alien existing in one space for six months at that size moving vast amounts of distance at least one a week attracts literally no attention from weather or military bases near Southern California
>OJ and Emerald know exactly how to bait the alien and decide to film it extremely close up with a small crew instead of trying to do long distance filming with a live audience/spectators
>OJ knows that the alien acts exactly like a horse instantly and confidently even though he has literally no reason to do think so
Other creature features have the excuse that the monster is roughly a man-sized thing in an extremely remote or hard to get to area. This is a place not too far from Hollywood in one of the most surveilled pieces of sky in the entire west coast.

The Akira shot is when I knew for sure I was watching kino (though I suspected before).
how reddit does one need to be in order to think copying anime makes a movie kino
it’s opposite of kino
i don't think that was actual Akira reference, that "iconic" motrcycle move is common
More specifically, he has her drive through the tape to combine the motorcycle shot with this other Akira reference from Kanye.
That wasn't kino at all.
ayylien dies scene https://twitter.com/Apollon2006/status/1550520640880492548
Got the alien eating scene?
Soooooooo fricking dumb.
ayooo, nobodee be fricken wit n1 famalam
How does it die? What is happening here?
The autopilot from airplane yeeted the evil Caucasian alien cuz chyaaaaa nobodies fricks wif N1 cuh
really like how they referenced the whole ufo looks like a weather balloon thing
Well what the frick? Is that balloon filled with explosives or something? That shit’s moronic.
The alien is like a bag, it only has a mouth, earlier in the movie it gets a fake horse stuck in it's windpipe and that bothers it, so getting a giant balloon stuck in it's throat it can get air in but none out, so it pops from its own pressure.
Pressurized air is extremely fricking powerful, does not matter what you are. If anything fricking explodes in a compact and soft space inside of you, you're dead.
If it’s that fragile, then how does ingesting an entire crowd of people who would absolutely be kicking and flailing around, let alone a massive, powerful animal like a fricking horse, *not* kill it?
You're a fricking moron. It's not fragile, that's simply it's softest space. And you fail to hold the concept of how compression works. Swallow compressed air and I guarantee you will leave with either a ruptured organ, a hole in one of your organs or simply fricking die.
All I’m saying is that if it’s taking in air and expelling it through the same hole, if that balloon didn’t “go down the wrong pipe,” then the same pressure that’s killing it would also be more than enough to push the balloon back out of the choke point. If it’s an animal, especially if it’s some kind of cryptic that evolved here, then it evolved to kill/eat local animals, and if it were so poorly evolved as to have such a fatal “design flaw,” then eating any random thing would have killed it already.
It doesn’t matter how much force you are capable of exerting if an explosive gas inside the middle of your entire being combusts; you will blow apart.
So you’re saying the balloon *is* filled with something explosive?
Not him but yes, it's helium, a highly combustible gas.
Helium is a noble gas. Know why they’re called “noble” gasses? Because they’re so stable that they don’t “associate” with anything else. In other words, they’re non-reactive. In other other words, they’re non-combustible.
Pressurized air is in fact an explosive force when let out all at once, even a party balloon popping is an explosion.
>does not matter what you are.
There’s literal bacteria that can survive the vacuum of space, and fish that can survive the crushing depths of the deep ocean
Jaws is a mere fricking shark and blew up to bits via shooting a helium tank in its mouth, you can’t get the same doing it to a giant alien thing and get the same reaction, just simply having a normal balloon go pop in its mouth is anti-climatic and shit
>There’s literal bacteria that can survive the vacuum of space
Does not compare to compressed air exploding inside your throat/stomach
>and fish that can survive the crushing depths of the deep ocean
You will kill these fish if you feed them a type of compressed air and it explodes in them
>Jaws
Is fictional and unrelated
>you can’t get the same doing it to a giant alien thing
You are not the director, writer or producer. You can't change the facts of this movie. Simply put the writer chose for it to die like a normal creature in nature would from having compressed air explode inside them. This movie is not about how the alien is insane and rampaging all across the city.
>Is fictional and unrelated
And so is your alien.
Black person, you know I’m talking about how Jaws is grounded and consistent with its own rules, not realistic, don’t be moronic.
Jaws rules don't apply to this movie, making it fictional and unrelated to this movie. What the frick is your point? Peele made it realistic, get the frick over it.
Even other anons here pointed out the inconsistency of the alien here, yet they get ignored.
But (you) tell me, a big huge alien creature thing, ‘deserves’ to die from merely getting a balloon popped in it? Even other people in related threads call it lame
>so? You are the minority, because the movie is a success
Yeah I am. That still doesn’t excuse shit. There is no REASON WHY it had to be a balloon, if it was a firecracker, it would make a bit of ‘sense’. Even fricking Lovecraft had the ritual be incomplete which is why Cthulhu, a great old one that is also an alien thing, is ‘defeated’ by a measly boat.
Your alien is fricking moronic, because if give it the barest thought, it eats and breathes from the same hole. Merely eating in GENERAL would be enough to kill it.
Bruh you are being moronic. The method in which the UAP is dealt with made sense. It has trouble getting non-organic material down, it hadn't ingested anything of that balloon's size and volume down plus the pressurized air inside the balloon made a deadly combo inside the UAP. You can clearly see how narrow its wind pipe is, they clearly show you that it routinely drops the small inorganic shit it shallows, and you can clearly tell that its inner organ and mouth is the only thing that matters for the creature.
Then how the frick does it not even try to go for the “wacky inflatable tube” balloons, which also have eyes?
Because they aren't looking at it you frick.
You mean to tell me, by that one scene where it ‘rolls’ sideways trying to get OJ and those times where the balloons flail, go down whenever it gets near, it never once feels compelled to think it’s looked at by them? Not even on the off chance they fall at the right angle to look at it?
But it did try to eat it once it rolled over.
But it does you fricking moron... why even discuss a movie you haven't even seen...
>none of the tube men are looking UP at it
>tries to eat the tube man that is lying on the ground looking UP at it
I put five on it...
It does dumbass
it had to be a balloon because the balloon had a face with eyes on it, which as the movie establishes the alien doesn't like eye contact, so it tries to eat anything that makes eye contact with it, and while it's trying to eat it it punctures the balloon, causing the air pressure to kill it, why is this such a hard concept to grasp, maybe actually watch the movie dumdum.
If it’s so dumb that it goes for anything looking at it, how has it lived undetected in the most populous state in the Union for centuries?
If you're so dumb that you keep trying to nitpick a movie you haven't even seen then how have you gone this long without killing yourself?
>moron thinks every anon is the same person.
He does have a point though
It’s not in a cloud all the time, Jupe was feeding it and it’s huge as frick
Like I said, you would probably need to be really autistic to notice the thing. It spends most of its time as a cloud and then its super fast so if you aren't actively noticing it, I doubt you would perceive it.
Not even the debris cloud tornado whenever it wants to eat? Or the loud sounds?
Its seems to be located in barren farmlands so unless you are actively there and autistic, I doubt you would care. Look how long it took for OJ and the gang to perceive what the frick they were dealing with.
Those are autistic people. I walked outside my house yesterday and saw a cat sleeping my truck and I ran back in the house to take photos of it because I am most likely moronic.
The thing has only been around for 6 months, and they notice the strange sounds they just can't pin down where they're coming from because they're usually above them and echoing off the walls of the gulch they're in. As for the tornado, dust devils are a pretty common occurrence in deserts and plains.
Most of the time it just looks like a weather phenomenon, you have to be really autistic to notice a cloud not moving from a spot.
Not really … People stop and record weird clouds on a regular basis.
And in this setting they would be eaten for looking at it too long and their footage would be lost if the recording wasn’t analog.
You’re making my point for me. Peele has done this same shit for three movies straight. He half-asses they absolute frick out of his “explanations” of the weird elements of his stories, and by doing so, the explanations only make things worse.
Let me be clear here - this isn’t nitpicking. These are questions any reasonable person would have when presented with the details of his stories. Let me provide you with a contrast here. In most monster/horror stories, the monster is one or more of these:
>A one-off freak mutation/escaped experiment
>A famous cryptid
>in a secluded/inaccessible area
>smart/cunning enough to stay hidden
>an ambush predator cunning enough to choose its prey wisely
Why? Because verisimilitude. It’s easy for people to suspend their disbelief for the sake of the story. See how literally none of that applies to a frickhuge monster hanging out in the sky and dumb enough to attack anything that looks at it? It’s lazy. It asks too much of the audience, because if you’re going to be that lazy with your storytelling, why should anyone be expected to care?
>in a secluded/inaccessible area
But it is in a secluded area what the frick are you talking about?
Stop replying to users who don't watch movies.
You are right, this fricker is moronic. All his nitpicks have been explained and explored but he continues to be stupid.
Yeah, but
. How did it get there? Where did it come from? How did it live *before* it made that place its home?
People like you suck massive wiener. Waaaaa the mobie didn’t spoon feed me the origin of the monster waaaaa
It doesn’t have to. That’s my point. He went with the dumbest, laziest explanation that he could come up with, and morons like you just accept it.
He never gave an explanation. He created tight lore around the creature, try again. My theory is that the creature is from the ocean. This is the new tremors.
>try again
No thanks. It’s on him to tell a good story, not me.
It's smart enough to make it's home in a lowly populated valley, disguise itself as a cloud, use whatever telepathic rays to disable phones and cars, and only comes out to hunt when it needs to. JP thought it out pretty well. It seemed JJ liked to do its hunting at night as well.
Yeah, but it’s not a one-off/freak mutation. It’s just some undiscovered, frickhuge animal hanging out in the sky attacking whatever looks at it and it has been presumably for what - months? Years? Decades? See why that’s, pardon the pun, a little hard to swallow?
The concept of cryptids isn’t new
Are they frickhuge monsters hanging out in the sky that attack anything that looks at them?
This one is and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Mothman
Bird Box
Bigfoot (doesn’t fly but still attacks)
And a few other crypids and movies that did the same
You realize that every single thing you just listed have literally the entire populace of the setting aware of their existence, right?
The frick? You asked about monsters that attack on sight, stop moving the goalposts
Not a single one of those attacks everything that sees it. Nor are any of them big enough to be seen from miles away b
If you actually seen the movie peele makes a good point when the characters are talking about recording the creature for proof. They said people would just think it’s cgi. And it was heavily implied the government knew about the creature when they buried OJ dad’s death as a private airplane accident and nobody questions it. Also, the map for the whole area where the creature lived was blurred in google maps. Some shady shit was definitely going on.
Correct - *dumb* shady shit. If the government knew about the fricking thing, why in God’s name would they allow anyone to live near it? Reasons?
I think the government made the same mistake Jupe did. Assuming it was a higher intelligence, not a basic space whale that swallowed up anything that caught its attention.
We don't know how long it's been on our planet. It could have just arrived.
Plenty of cryptids are known to attack people, it’s also not that big and has camouflage, and it doesn’t attack everything that looks, it just seems like if it’s already stimulated, eye contact is a trigger. It’s not attacking them when they look at the fake cloud.
If anything the fact that it eats people who look at it is a good reason why nobody knows what it is. It eats it’s own witnesses.
>not that big
https://twitter.com/Apollon2006/status/1550520640880492548
Have you seen the movie?
Yes. And it pissed me the frick off.
How the frick does Jupe know about the alien without getting eaten, much less looked at it? The chimp scene shows he looks at animals in the eyes, he trained the alien for six months, and he still looks at it in public show
the fricking point is not to frick with predators and think you can tame them. they dont like being gawked at.
The same way OJ and Em do, he notices it from a distance when one of his horses gets away and gets eaten. Aside from eating a horse once in a while, the fricking thing doesn't go out of it's way to eat anything that just sees it, it specifically only goes after the ones that look it directly in the "eye" because it's territorial and asserting it's dominance. He doesn't even really train it, he just gives it a horse once a week to lure it into a routine thinking he's training it, which as we see goes wrong when he and his audience actively look it in the eye and get eaten.
If you’d actually seen the movie you’d know why the balloon was significant
The pop is a callback to an earlier scene with popping balloons.
The way that noise goes from being associated with danger to being associated with relief at the very end was poetic.

The real reason you don’t see these movies isn’t because you’re too good for it or the movie sucks or whatever, it’s cause you’re a fricking loser who does nothing but sit on your ass and complain.
you need to go back to red dit
Stop posting, leave.
Maybe have a nice day too I don’t really care.
>OJ knows that the alien acts exactly like a horse instantly and confidently even though he has literally no reason to do think so
gee good think he worked with horse to notice a pattern between the two
yes you Black person but he has not worked WITH AN ALIEN
you keep missing the point anon
Shut up homosexual
cry about it chump
If this film had more direction it would be really good, watching it felt like Peele was going with too many ideas and a lot ended up cut in editing
it was originally 3 hours long
I hate Black folk but this looks interesting should I check this movie out?
You're pathetic if you spend money on this shit and even have to ask
It's easily his best. Feels like he goes big in some ways and pulls back in others. It's very good looking and the concept is a pretty novel take on UFOs. Not perfect but I enjoyed it.
The monster is really cool
also
>The alien just a scared animal protecting but it litetally eats people nowhere near it and wont just leave earth
>>The alien just a scared animal protecting but it litetally eats people nowhere near it and wont just leave earth
Fricking pos phone keyboard. Meant to say:
>The alien is just a scared animal protecting itself, but it litetally eats people nowhere near it and wont just leave earth for some reason
i guess it became an apex predator of sorts
Why does it only eat you if you look at it though?
sounds like that's how it baits it's prey.
Because Jordan Peele read SCP-096 and thought it was cool
It's not if you look at it, plenty of characters look at it. It's if you look it in the eye, like with lots of animals that causes it to become aggressive.
dude the entire theme of the movie is the exploitation of animals even the extremely dangerous ones.
thats why there was the chimp attack scene and its trying to compared to the flying saucer monster. It kills people who puts its eyes on it because this SPECTACLE is the exact thing that goes on in the normal showbiz right before these animals go crazy and kill people.
Remember the Wringling brothers Lion Incident?
That one Orca that wouldnt stop killing people?
the Chimp that ripped that girls face off?
all those Circus Elephants that go crazy and go on a rampage?
that dumbfrick "Grizzly man" guy who got eaten alive trying to be buddy buddy with bears out in the wild and make his little documentary
Steve Irwin and the Sting Ray?
whats all in common with these incidents right? people are WATCHING them and laughing/goading whatever. thats what the entire movie is kinda themed around. The Family of Horse Trainers (Horse exploiters) to the monkey attack (chimp exploiters) to everyone once again only seeing the monster as a quick paycheck to set them on easy street. THEYRE NOT REGISTERING THE DANGEROUS CREATURE FOR WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS AND GIVE IT NO SORT OF RESPECT.
its about the absolute arrogance and hubris of mankind due to our pole position in the animal kingdom and serves as a memento mori to be humble. tl;dr the creature kills people who looks at it because its symbolism. the only way you end up on some wild animals dinner plate is if you are looking at them or fricking with them not giving them the wide berth they deserve.
>its about the absolute arrogance and hubris of mankind due to our pole position in the animal kingdom and serves as a memento mori to be humble
woah man i never thought of that
it’s like, respect the wind man i like it
you're right but the last sentence is cringe
the people in this movie were basically https://youtu.be/2REzrFJ-G8Y

is that better?

I hope for your sake you just copy pasted this from reddit
Not at all what it was about
Tying into the spectacle thing I think it's also about how desperate humans are to mythologize, whether or not it's a good idea. This is OJ's main motivation throughout the film- not merely to survive Jean Jacket, or even to stop it, but just to be the ones to record it first so they can have that story for themselves. This ties into how their relative was the first actor but his story has been largely forgotten, or how his dad in his own words "changed the industry" only to abruptly lose his life in a freak accident thanks to Jean Jacket.
Jupe and OJ's idiocy in chasing a giant alien vore monster are two sides of the same coin, albeit Jupe just desperately wants his celebrity back, having a shrine to his greatest moment of fame, the moment a murderous chimp almost killed him. OJ ostensibly feels he has to do it to honor his dad.
Another play on this is that Jupe is dressed up in old west Regalia and OJ is shot like a western hero with swelling genre music at the very end. The ideal of the old west has pretty much always been a sham fantasy that prefers to ignore just how terrible those times were for almost everyone but especially non-whites, African Americans either enslaved or reeling from the immediate aftermath of slavery and Native Americans forced out of their homes for the sake of white settlers. You know that those stories are corrupt, yet we want them for ourselves, anyway.
And I think that's interesting because that desire for narrative and storytelling is sort of at the heart of a lot of the modern racial divides in America. People love to mythologize their pasts and their family histories, but african americans tend to struggle with that because their history tends to be incredibly bitter.
I think OJ was also doing it out of a semi-suicidal thing; Haywood has clearly been going downhill since his dad died and unlike Em he doesn't seem to have a broader social network or marketable skills. The way I saw him methodically tell Em multiple times how he still has to do "work" while this was happening made me think he was doing this because he had nothing else to live for, so breaking and possibly being killed by JJ was a way of going out on his own terms instead of his family's work breaking down.
I could see that, sure.
Nah you're wrong. The other guy was right.
Jordan Peele said it was about lust for fame, iirc
I hate movies like this so much because literally every single thing you say here is accurate, but would be a million times better delivered in a different movie. I "get it" now but I find the delivery insanely pretentious. Its a disappointing monster movie, disappointing alien movie, because clearly Peele's mind was elsewhere. Get Out was his only good movie because it actually delivered on the comedy/horror plot. Nope is just pure pretentiousness.
>Another play on this is that Jupe is dressed up in old west Regalia and OJ is shot like a western hero with swelling genre music at the very end.

You know that those stories are corrupt, yet we want them for ourselves, anyway.
I disagree with this viewpoint. Jupe is dressed in old west ragalia because that's simply the culture of the area and theme of his town. OJ is not shot as a western hero, he's shot at the famous black man on a horse film.
Well I disagree with racial crap you brought up. You seem to be overanalyzing what was going on just because they were black. Nobody was ever racist towards the MCs, OJ was simply an introverted person who lacked the confidence his Sister and Father had, but not the skill. The sister lacked the skill which is why OJ was the one teaching Ghost. Together both of them got the Oprah shot and preserved their father's legacy (the money is to save the Ranch and the horses).
They were only trying to record it for the above reasons. The dad died for the ranch, the horses and they were running out of money. They simply took the lessons of the father to apply it to finding motivation in preserving, again, the legacy.
Jupe is not chasing his celebrity, in fact he is traumatized by his celebrity. What Jupe is chasing is redemption. At the very end he believes the ape didn't mean to harm anybody and that is why it spared him. He sees the Alien and thinks not only can he work with it, but possibly keep it alive. Jupe was extremely successful regardless of the alien's existence.
Nobody is mythologizing anything. They are just preserving something.,
Shit skins mythologize their victim hood and history hence they did then and still do risk life and limb to live in white peoples creations.
A lot of cowboys were black. It's just been whitewashed.
Oh, it's Jurassic Park. Makes me want to see it.
ahhhahhahahahaha you fricking nerd homosexual
the absolute irony, you realize they had to train horses for this film and then you WATCHED THEM in the movie
dipshit wienersucker
you dumbass nerd homosexual
whoa I never thought of that. Why didnt I do my research and look at the billing before watching it. Im...part of the problem...
not "leaving them alone". just being able to understand "holy shit, that thing can kill me" which for some reason people dont get anymore as the lives are more and more sheltered.
think of the entire movie as LITERALLY just one big animal attack because thats all it actually is. Its intelligence or even sentience is dubious. this is JAW'S but with a UFO that operates by wacky rules. Thats it.
How does the top two panels compare to the bottom 2?

I don't want to show my autism to counter your autism.
i like to believe that since this comic is so fricking moronic that the only way to make it work is to only quote the last pannle like everyone else dose unironically.
ok but what's the deeper meaning of this, then?
it's literally just about leaving animals alone - surely that in turn must refer to something else
>dude the entire theme of the movie is the exploitation of animals even the extremely dangerous ones.
Its Juden Peele, the movie is about racism. Every single one of his fricking movies is about racism. You don't even have to see the movie to understand that
Ironically I find it hilarious how Peele made it the shape of a traditional UFO, which everyone's instict is to look directly up at it or at the hole in case they get beamed up. So it feels like this alien somehow realized this is THE SHAPE to lure things in. Think about it, this alien could even lure OTHER ALIENS who think it's a ship, but it's not a ship.
It’s never explicitly stated to be an alien. It’s probably a cryptid, asking why it doesn’t leave is like asking why birds don’t fly away into space.
When do they say it's a scared animal? There's a flashback scene to arbiter saying some animals can't be tamed which OJ references later saying it's a territorial predator.
Ill wait until a torrent comes out but whats the point of the chimp subplot? also does the hispanic tech guy survive?
Self insert
The chimp is supposed to be a parallel to the alien. The TV show producers thought they could use a wild animal for entertainment but they never had real control over it and it got a bunch of people killed. The kid who survived the chimp attack grew up, found out about the alien and made the same mistake.
The alien is parallel to the horse and the chimp for different reasons, the chimp was to show the "mistake" the horse is to show the "proper way". Notice how they were able to kill the alien at the end by handling it the proper way.
Really wanted a scene like in independence day with people wanting to be abducted but then they get what they want and just get eaten.
But thankfully we got to MAKE SURE six white children were shown in the audience to get eaten.
>no black people get eaten
thats the director isn't it?
there was a black guy in the front row
Asian people get eaten too
>Jupe does an alien show for a couple of months with an alien appearance at least once a week and OJ never noticed this entire time
This doesn't happen though, Jupe says in his speech that he and his family have been observing the alien for 6 months, the show he puts on is his first time doing it, which is why he invites OJ and Em to come check it out, he says it's a brand new show he's just now starting.
I swear he implied that he’s been feeding it horses, the one’s he’s been buying from OJ. And that’s why when OJ brought up the buyback option, Jupe was a little reluctant but was like “oh yeah sure, same deal as before with your dad”
he had been feeding it for months, but it wasn't a show. The one we saw in the movie was the first attempt at it, prior to that, he had just been feeding it building the routine which is why he was surprised it came out early during the show.
I'm 1000% sure it came out early because it had a fake horse lodged in it's esophagus lmoa
but OJ literally sees the show when he was chasing Ghost
not necessarily the show, could have just been Jupe feeding the alien like he said he had been doing.
Is it even an alien? I get it's a flying jellyfish that looks like a flying saucer, but who's to say it's not some undiscovered creature from Earth
its just unkown species that hangs out one area its entire life span
Well it could be, but they play with the ayyy theme way too much to not imply that this thing came to Earth from space.
Also Peele already did a title pun with Us (United States) so I wouldn't be surprised if Nope indeed was also intentionally meant as standing for Not Of Planet Earth.
Must've been floating through space for years without eating anything then
some animals do have a hibernation states for when low resources are available. you should really look up tardigrades. nature is pretty crazy.
hey man. animals die from accidently swallowing litter all the time. its not dumb at all. please remember to clean up after yourself and take care of our planet 🙁
One eyed one horned flying purple Black person eater
I liked it. Gordy was the best part but the rest was fun.
THE GUY WHO MADE IT IS BLACK, AND THE MAIN CAST IS BLACK, SO IT'S A FRICKING MASTERPIECES, MAN!
Peele should have stayed out of sci-fi. He may be able to convince dramagays that he's talented, but sci-fi fans are a lot more nit-picking and critical.
>lot more nit-picking
that's not supposed to be a good thing
what is and isn’t supposed to be a good thing
please tell us jordan
I don't like YMS or CinemaSins type """critiscism""".
Yeah man needed more Mel Gibson and swing away dialogue
It's not a sci-fi, it's a thriller, which is why the alien design was so fricking moronic at the end. But it really shows how the alien evolved to lure things in.
that Peele isn't genuinely at least averaging out to be a better horror director then the vast majority of Hollywood.
I don't think anyone is saying they're all masterpieces, granted, but he's averaging out better then most others by a long shot.
Us wasn't about Racism, that was about Class. All Peele movies do have a social message, sure - but they're not always about race. In fact that was part of the twist with Nope, he really was intentionally setting it up so at first it looked like another race message movie but it was actually about the mistreatment of animals and children in Hollywood. A bit of a meta-twist because *he knows* there's idiots like you out there who thinks all of his movies are about race.
Not leaving them alone nessecarily, just don't be an idiot around them and remember that *they're living things that can easily kill you, especially if you think they've been tamed when they really haven't*.

Filming things up close gives you a better look at them
>with a small crew instead of trying to do long distance filming with a live audience/spectators
What the frick would a live audience be for
>Filming things up close gives you a better look at them
you underestimate how good cameras are
the alien can even shut down ANY electronic device even camera's. the guy had to go at it with a super old fashioned camera with a crank wheel. thats why he had to get closer and got, got.
thats literally a plot point lol and why their first attempts fail. but yes if the alien didnt have this OP power you could easily just use a drone or something to get video of it some super like 8k$ super pro camera and record it safely from practically a mile away.
>the alien can even shut down ANY electronic device
it only does so when its close which is why they used the inflatable man set up, it doesn't affect shit ten miles away
huh, guess they shoulda thought of that.
the other thing is though it can also disguise itself as a cloud until its close enough to part rockers you so maybe it wouldnt work? and if you look at it even from super far away do you think that maybe then it could "detect" you and quickly start rushing in your direction?
It somehow keeps cloud vapors around it, not turns into a cloud.
the live audience/spectators is so they know you aren't faking it
the alien died and his remains fell on the ground so they already got proof for that, they wanted alien in motion because that will get them more fame than just "we found the remains"
>What would the Black person do if there was aliens?
I think District 12 already answered that question.
>We pimp our hoes to them, sell them drugs for laser guns and kill them for their magic voodoo meat.
>get out !
>us?
>nope….
What will be his fourth movie to complete the trilogy ? My guess a remake of Them so the titles make sense as dialog

- last quote from now missing Florida man
How many people got eaten by wolves before we got your doggo?
how would I know that? besides it not like dogs are good thing. Wolves should have remained wolves. Dogs are a abomination of a species really as fun as they are. I cant help but get kinda pissed whenever I breeds like bulldogs or remember things like how German Shephards have that slump and always get health complications. selective breeding was a mistake and I mean that as a person who really likes animals.

Literally if we didn't do it some other animal would.
I dont think that sort of symbiotic relationship or toleration of each others existence is the same as how we went full TOADLINE on them. If anything those animals would just end up like Ants "milking" catepillars or the various animals that let other animals groom them. theres a world of a difference.
They would kill the ones that did not go along with said behavior and selective breeding would still take place.....
You are simply looking for problems
People going on about animals are missing the point of repeatedly emphasizing that during the chimp attack, the woman's shoe set bolt-upright in the middle of the room through everything.
It isn’t anything paranormal though. It is just something so bizarre that in the midst of such chaos that something so improbable would happen
The only thing I can figure about the point of the shoe is that there isn't a point to the shoe. Tying into the lust for myth and spectacle, Jupe assigned it undue importance because of the effect it had on him but it was simply a coincidence. Gordy not slaughtering him was largely luck on his part but he thought it to be something more, which carried over to him thinking he had a special relationship with the "aliens" when it was simply a hungry animal he was feeding.
and the blood waterhall
>inorganic objects are not okay
>blood is suddenly not okay despite that jupe has been feeding it for who knows how long
it ate a balloon and it exploded.
what was the point of her inclusion?
shes a chimp attack survivor obviously. her lips got ripped off or eaten from the looks but also this is supposed a kinda almost comedic movie her showing up to yet another event but all mangled is kinda funny in a black comedy type of way. You ever seen the show old AS Cartoon Dethklok? stuff like this happened a lot.
Man that's lame I thought it was the alien having some freaky effect on people
When it was a mysterious movie about horses turning into people it seemed more interesting. Just goes to show how good a trailer can be at building hype. That first trailer was absolutely a 10/10.
Did the two black people just actually put the alien in the cameraman's line of sight, leading to his death? and it was just glanced over
>a mysterious movie about horses turning into people
pic related if you want a reverse of it
>Did the two black people just actually put the alien in the cameraman's line of sight, leading to his death? and it was just glanced over
when did this happen?
What do you mean? The cameraman intentionally walked off to film the alien even closer.
>When it was a mysterious movie about horses turning into people it seemed more interesting.
I don;t remember it ever being that.
When the first trailer came out, that was a hypothesis. There was basically nothing known about it.
>that was a hypothesis
by who? the trailer didn't imply that. I don't remember reading any synopsis about it being that.
by reddit maybe u should educate yourself
ooph
I saw it on Youtube.
So how urban was your audience?
Yeah Jordan peeles a bad writer
People have been gaslit into thinking he has substance.
>>Jupe does an alien show for a couple of months with an alien appearance at least once a week
He does? I'm pretty sure that was the first time. Jupe obviously knows about the alien but he didn't do the show before.
at the very least he's been feeding the alien once a week
Maybe but that wouldn't attract much attention. He probably did it at night by leaving a horse in a middle of nowhere.
do you guys no pay attention? He literally says he'd been doing it at night regularly for months. To the point where he was surprised it came early during THE FIRST SHOW.
he literally never EVER says it is the first show and again he's been feeding it regularly for months, why would OJ never notice the sounds the horses are making
Anybody notice that they cut out the night scenes with the alien where it flies at night. They never really elaborate on how it has 4 lighted up eyes and sleeps on the ground at night (supposedly.)
>why would OJ never notice the sounds the horses are making
Because he lives several miles away and is surrounded by other horses.
I think the scene with a fat asian guy in the trailer going around the set while people run in panic was also cut out. That's not the first time it happens with Peele there were several shots in the trailer of Get Out that weren't in the film.
the horse literally screams while inside the UFO, its sounds bounce off the canyon walls and echo throughout the valley..but nah OJ would NEVER notice that..especially when he lived all by himself and would actually react to a horse to distress..
That wasn't the UFO, those were lights from the Star Lasso stage where Jupe was practicing for the show.
>he literally never EVER says it is the first show and again he's been feeding it regularly for months,
Bruh, go actually watch the movie without having your phone out. His whole speech introducing the show is him explaining that he'd been doing it for months. He literally says it's the first show, which is why he had a special guest, not to mention he said it when he invited OJ and his sis. And OJ didn't notice before because of PLOT, but he did notice that one night when he first saw it, when he saw the lights in the distance that then went off and then on.
>He literally says it's the first show
I just downloaded a camrip, he does not lmao
got the link to the camrip? i dont want to waste $40
He's was doing private rehersals for months, the show where the audience gets eaten was the first public showing with an audience
So he finally release a movie that doesn't have themes of racism/slavery? I may check it then,
The ufo is white
it's silver
You can definitely see it in there if you think about it but as far as a face-level watching it's enjoyable beyond reading into subtext
>You can definitely see it in there
It's not the main point of the film though. It's just the "history" is there. Nowhere else is racism/slavery even implied.
Before I pirate this movie
Is it racist towards white people at all?
I don't wanna spend anything on this movie (my time) if its like that.
no
Where can i get it?
>This is a place not too far from Hollywood
This place is just miles away from where the original Top Gun program started. It later moved, but the base location remains active and on alert. Think about that.
Can't believe this is what the American summer movie season has come to, academic Afro Amblin sci-fi with color wheel advertising impressions and a director who thinks blacks on horses is "fresh," 30 years after Lethal Weapon and Predator 2
It is shown that the Spectacle has an effect on electronics, beyond that, cloud coverage can effect the wavelength of radio waves, amplify that by what we see in that the Spectacle has a cloth like outside and it isn’t to far fetched that it can soak up or otherwise absorb the waves as well making it borderline invisible because no waves bounce back for it to pick up.
>The spectacle
I mean, the film names the monster. It's a bit of a stupid name but I think that's intentional
what would you have called it?
You know I don't have anything better than Jean Jacket so fair enough
I liked JeanJacket, it was a smart thing to name it. There’s a psychological power to naming. This isn’t some ship full of hyper advanced omnipotent beings, it’s an animal, something we can understand and manipulate, and it payed off when he let his sister take the lead.
JeanJacket was supposed to be her horse, it was a character development moment, taking an awful fricked up situation and plunging your hands into it, molding it into something that actually fixes a mistake from the past. Beautiful story of the triumph of man. Lots of powerful themes. Loved it.
>what would you have called it?
UAP
>academic
It's literally a thriller and then an action film with some mild commentary on don't frick with the wild and shit like Jaws. I just know you read that Armond White nonsense. Armond was cool but he fell off.
Maybe you just have bad taste dork, Armond has not fallen off.
>Jordan Peele said
LINK ?
post webms of the alien attacks, for fricks sake
why are there so little recordings of scenes, and if there is, it cuts right before it really starts
My problem with Juden Peele has always been that he thinks he is smarter than he actually is, when in reality he is just formulaic.
>Single word titles
>pseudo deep take on racism in America
>The type of surface level philosophy that you get 90% of just by watching, but a YouTube Influencer TM can make sound deeper (Wisecrack, or a ripoff of it)
Tarantino does the same shit, so maybe audiences just want this kind of 101 IQ philosophy, smart enough that you need to look at it twice, but dumb enough that everyone gets it.
>Tarantino does the same shit
You don't know what you're talking about.
He has the same marketing strategy
>101 IQ movies
>Most normies need a MatPat/Wisecrack to "Show the meaning"
>ZOMG WHATS DA OBVIOUS MEANING?
You RE𝘈LLY don't know what you're talking about.
Remember Cloverfield Lane?
It began as a movie script unrelated to Cloverfield, then someone just decided to make it a Cloverfield movie.
Something tells me the Nope script began, in its earliest form, as a non-Jordan Peele movie.
Isn't it written by Jordan Peele?
he could have gotten that credit for doing a re-write or something. "credits" can often be misleading. keep in mind there is such a thing as ghost writers (who are never credited)
Conspiracy brother in the house.
Not that anon, but it happens. The credited director of Dredd has said that the writer, Alex Garland, essentially ghost directed the movie. Same thing with Mel Brooks producing shit like The Fly
>>"It was just lashing out in fear like the chimpanzee!"
>>"Just dont stare and it wont kill you!"
>This made no sense at all, it was supposed to be analgous to the chimp acting out in fear
It's supposed to be analogous to the Horse acting out in fear which is how the MC survives and Jube doesn't. Chimp had a different trigger.
Guys I’m super fricking scared of aliens as much as I curious about them thanks to my brother who forced me to watch all those fricked up alien abduction movies from 80s when I was a kid. So I’m super interested in the movie but another “grey” alien will give me nightmares for a week. Is the alien in the movie scary?
you never see it
Thanks
I am an alien. I am definitely going to come probe you first
There are no aliens in the movie.
How do you feel about fractals/geometry, and sea wild life?
Is the alien in the movie scary? I’m scared as frick of greys as much as I’m curious about them thanks to my brother who forced me to watch alien abduction movies from 80s. Does the alien look like a grey one or some generic sci-fi shit?
The flying saucer is the alien. Its design is not scary, but theres a scene where it vores a stadium of people that is pretty horrifying
The alien looks sorta like a jellyfish. The play here is that the genric UFO design is actually it's cap and it hides iternal organs that can be ejected from the UFO hole. The cap itself as I already mentioned is flexible and can shapeshift.
Low IQ takes all on this thread
Did you all forget the director at the beginning of the move who was disgusted by the brother and sister?
He was obsessed with watching animals kill each other or did you forget those scenes too
He specifically went out there to help them because he wanted to see the chimps (black brother and sister) get killed by the predator (white man)
He had a sexual fetish for animals which is why he wanted the perfect shot to cum to
The entire movie was a metaphor for people fricking animals
The chimp was molested, the horses were molested, and the alien was the only one that wasn’t molested because he was the top predator
How did OJ know/figure out what Glen was doing with the alien? I missed that part i had to go piss
he realized why Glen was buying up all the horses
They found a flyer for it on thr ground
So was this shit taking place in the early 2000s or modern or what? Like their phones all looked like early 2000s yet the tech store seemed to have modern shit.
I think only OJ had a flip phone, which still exists today. Angel looked like he had a modern phone. Could have been today, could have been 2010.
I love my homie Jordan
Is this movie another race bait one or just a straight up horror movie? Want to know if I should see it.
All Peele movies do have a bit of social commentary in them, sure - but the idea that all of his movies are about Race is just something /misc/tards made up. Us for example, wasn't about race at all. Just happened to have black main protagonists.
Nope is set up in a bit of a meta-twist where it looks like it's race bait at first but the actual social message actually has nothing to do with race. This is intentional, mostly to frick with the "all Juden Peele moves are about Racism" crowd.
That’s cool. I liked US, but Get out was hamfisted and the social commentary was moronic.
All Jordan Peele movies have black MCs and are written around black culture. Essentially, the same way most movies have white people who behave like normal white people, asian movies that have asians who behave like normal asians. His is just a movie with black people written around black culture.
It's like Tyler Perry movies having all black casts. It's such a great way to bring blacks to cinema without raceswapping or racebaiting, appealing to all audiences while also connecting with the black audience.
Just got back, what was the significance of Geordie? Felt out of place in the movie
It was parallel to Jean Jacket. Even the fact that it didn't see Jupe looking at it in the eyes under the table.
Wow I didn't even catch that. That's the only reason he's alive basically.
How can you not see the parallels?
Among everything else thematically, even the balloons popping tied both creatures together
SOMEONE POST A LINK PLS
The Gordy plotline felt like it was telling one thing and showing another thing that isn't explained. The shoe standing up makes believe something else was going on.
“Bad miracle”
Some of the alien scene
Good thing he had that super well trained horse to lay down so he could mount it
How could you possibly tell where its eyes are or when someone was looking at it?
There most certainly is more of those creatures all around earth. They're an invasive species from outer space. I wonder how the frick people survived alien abductions than.
does anyone have a webm of the Gordy scene in the beginning? I thought it was a fricking awesome way to open the movie
Yeah that scene was something else. That fricking shoe is the most bizarre part.
anyone got the scene where everyone is inside the alien?
also i just remembered that the movie starts with you seeing a view from the alien's insides
https://www.tiktok.com/@whysoserious420_/video/7123126313925446958?_t=8UCN6XwuDLa&_r=1
Someone says it goes on for a 30 more seconds but im not sure
>the chimpanzee scene was scarier
What's wrong with these people? Also it does go on for more seconds to show the girl with the missing face and a decomposing (?) horse.
The Gordy scene was way more intense than them being eaten though. How quiet and intimate it is seeing the POV of being in the same space as a rampaging animal twice as strong as a body builder and there being no escape is much more horrifying than a crowd of people being sucked up between two tarps, the horror of the crowd being eaten doesn't really hit until later when it "digests" them and their screams all stop at once.
Intense but not scary. It's simply an animal behaving as an animal, and you don't see much regardless.
The scene where they are consumed + their screams are terrifying because of the disturbing sense of claustrophobia, decomposing bodies, massive amounts of people jammed in one space, then getting kill all at once, all their blood coming down and then just knowing that creature is just hovering there, huge and spitting out tons of blood.
If the monkey scene legitimately scares those people more, they should probably avoid traveling beyond the confines of a city.
Why did it vomit the blood? It can’t digest blood? Or was it “feeding” the people inside the house wtf? Was it trying to scare them?
Maybe it's just a messy eater.
if it was a messy eater like you say, then bunch of people would had known of blood rain all over the place whenever it feeds
I think the hikers were its first human kill. It mostly fed on horse in my head cannon the hikers probably triggered something in the alien, probably crossed it’s territory
what hikers?
Alien swallows hikers offscreen before the movie starts.
says who?
>new report says people have gone missing prior to the whole Jupe show going missing
Are you by any chance, moronic my schizo friend?
I don't remember them saying that
Do you remember watching the movie?
sorry, I must be a pants on head moron because I don't remember a throwaway line
sounds about right. Thanks.
They mention it twice you moron.
It’s at the beginning of the movie right before dad dies by quarter
The animal behaving as an animal is a lot more realistic than being sucked up into a tight space and being eaten by a space jellyfish. Some people find more horror in realistic scenarios that potentially could happen rather than ones that are improbable. Also not seeing much leaves more to the imagination which allows the horror to truly bloom, which is why the digestion we don't see is more horrifying than the part we see them being eaten imo.
Just sounds like they are a bunch of NPCs. Animals killing or rampaging is simply not a new concept, such that people do it too. They sound like the exact type of people who'd freeze and look up at the alien because they don't know how to fear anything but the familiar.
>your opinion is wrong
Suck my balls the monkey was terrifying, I would rather be one of the people at Jupes show than on set with that bloody monkey.
You are more scared by claustrophobic situations and that stuff, doesn’t mean everyone is. Case and point some people have a vore fetish, I don’t know people having a mauled by a chimp and getting their chest caved in by it’s tard rage fetish though. Your fears are not everyone’s fears.
The most horrifying part is when it briefly gets distracted and then GOES BACK to her, like I guess I have nothing better to do than gore you up some more for no reason, and you can hear the noises of fear from the girl as the chimp fixes it’s focus on her again, she can’t get up or run it just walks back over and picks up where it left off.
The abduction scene was freaky to watch but not that "scary" because it's so implausible. The monkey scene is scarier because shit like that actually happens to people and it could happen to you.
It's impossible to get attacked by a chimpanzee when you live nowhere near chimpanzees.
>when you live nowhere near chimpanzees.
Do you think the characters in the movie lived in the jungle? People bring wild animals into civilization all the time, and sometimes they just go apeshit and start mauling people.
So when you see the people fly up in its from JJ's perspective
Thats why when JJ eats the balloon it kills him, it popped directly in his face/eye/brain.
I'm just here for the UFO, cool concept, feel like it could be a SCP, one of the old-school ones.
>Enjoyed this movie
What race are you?
Who did you vote for President in the last election?
I cannot be stoopped, also can confirm the Military bases near SoCal. Seal Beach alone is enough to jump up and shoot some shit.
Camrip fricking when??
Massive dumbass, jupe never did the alien show, he was practicing the show and using the horses he bought from the black guy as bait. The alien tricked jupe into thinking he was training the alien like a pet. A good plot hole is how OJ never noticed the screaming horses as they got eaten by the alien. Are you stupid? He even says I’ve been doing this for 6 months. The alien was jupe’s and his family’s secret.
Why name it jean jacket
A theory is that Emerald never got to tame Jean Jacket, the actual horse. Her ability to overcome Jean Jacket the alien is supposed to represent her growth as a character. Keep in mind that at first she didn't seem to care about the ranch that much. But after everything she went through, and with her brother supposedly being dead, she sprang into action at the end.
While it remains to be seen, if this movie sustains its popularity, Peele's fun twist to the concept of UFOs could forever affect how people perceive them. That's not to say he didn't draw from others for inspiration. H.G. Welles' War of the Worlds has aliens drinking blood from people. It's just cool that Peele took that idea to a new place and made it interesting again.
>Peele's fun twist to the concept of UFOs could forever affect how people perceive them
It was a creative way to make it horrifying, and also remove the programming of thinking you've got a chance to survive if you're simply sucked into the sky. It's also really sick to think Jube would risk an entire audience's life for some pride and nostalgia, hahahahaha.
>this thing literally eats people once sucked in lets risk making a show of it
>before: wow the UFO is going to float me up, I'll see some aliens and get anal probed!
>now: oh no oh frick oh frick I'm going to be fricking eaten FRICK FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCK
This. It's a simple twist on things we've seen before but I'm surprised how well he pulled it off.
It's rare to see a director actually groe in size and tend to improve in overall quality. Us was a bit of a slump but it's clear Peele is not a one trick.
The film was solid and I actually gave a shit about what was happening. Might need a rewatch.
Haven't seen Peele's other movies because idgaf about "muh racism" but saw this in a double feature with The Black Phone and it wasn't bad
>Did you see that new Jordan Peele film?
>Nope
The chimp thing is just bizarre and weird overall. You aren't going to think that its just a wild animal doing what wild animals do at first because you are most likely associating the animal to be trained and nonthreatening since its on a tv show in universe. The bizarre shoe standing straight up is also going to make it look supernatural or paranormal from how odd and jarring it is in comparison to what is currently happening on screen (a monkey is literally beating folks to death and eating them). People are going to naturally think the screen is in connection to what is currently going on in the movie, the alien, etc. Also the scene at the end where he just stops and tries to fist bump the kid makes it seem as if the chimp was in a trance. You can interpret the scene in a lot of way, it can be perceived in a lot of ways just from how you're viewing the movie.
>You aren't going to think that its just a wild animal doing what wild animals do at first because you are most likely associating the animal to be trained and nonthreatening
Even "trained" chimps are vicious animals that will just snap and kill you
Some people just aren't going to come to that conclusion at first. Just like people don't always believe a dog on a leash is going to bite if you come close to it. Any animal could snap and attack you but that conclusion or realization doesn't always dawn on people until too late because the idea of that animal being "trained" or "domesticated" brings with it the implication that there is no danger to that animal.
>Enjoyed this movie but man it asks you to suspend A LOT of disbelief
It's a blockbuster, most blockbusters asks you to do that. At least it didn't feel like MCUshit.
Jupe died because he proceeded from a false assumption.
That it was a standard UFO that abducted horses (hence having his kids dressed up as grey aliens), and didn't want to be photographed.
He didn't KNOW it was a dangerous space killer whale who hated Eye Contact. Everyone who thinks "Flying Saucer" thinks "Higher Intelligence", not a basic animal you cannot reason with.
You still have to look at something, to know if something is there... and he did all that for six months without getting eaten somehow until the plot demands it?
My impression is that he's been practicing individual abductions for the "big event". He fed the UFO horses not KNOWING he was feeding it. He made an educated guess that the UFOs didn't like to be photographed because electronics were always disabled. And he viewed it from afar because of his own trauma. He didn't dare get up close.
Seriously, the dude saw a monkey mutilate a girl. It would take him a good while to risk getting that close to the aliens.
But that same logic could be applied to literally anyone. For its entire existence. Yet nobody knows about it.
The main event had multiple things going wrong. First off the horse was not running you see jupe freak out as the horse didn’t move from the box like it had to like he practiced with the other horses before. Another wrench in the gears is the audience, they were a new element the alien was not used to.
