The more I've come to terms with the fact that it isn't a horror alien movie like signs, which is what I wanted it to be so badly, the more I'm starting to come back around to it. The fact that I'm thinking about it 3 days after seeing it says it all. Most movies I watch in theatres I forget about immediately once I leave the kinoplex
>class divide
No, the clones and the surface people are the same, the metaphor here is that people underground are repressed psyche and then they lash out and start a revolution. The twist was important because it showed that the clones differed in no way from normal human and are only fricked up because of the conditions (repression).
I don't think there's a message it's just a twilight zoney concept made into a feature. UFO shows up but ooh it's basically a dumb animal not an alien ship
it had obviously been using the field their home is on as its literal dumping ground for a long period of time... at least 6 months, actually, since his dad was killed at the beginning.
unironically I think it’s something like “muh hollywood system”, the green screen horse being wheeled onset at the start and the Haywood’s desire to get the Oprah shot symbolize how movies are gradually moving away from involving real workers who live in Hollywood.
You basically got it. It's the old "this town grinds people up and spits them back out" metaphor turned very literal. All the main characters in the movie are basically washed up and still trying to cling to careers that Hollywood no longer needs or wants them for.
it's at least partially about legacy and how badly people desire "stories"
Jupe desperately wants his celebrity back to the point of enshrining and selling a moment of extreme trauma and later trying to sell the alien
OJ's primary motivation throughout the film is to record irrefutable proof of the alien because his dad's business is failing beneath him but he desperately wants to do something important with it, because his dad changed the industry- and his ancestor, the first actor in a film, was forgotten
It's about how you cant tame wild animals, and in doing so, they repress us. The monster is a natural predator that obviously is supposed to represent a biblical angel
The theme isn't that we can't tame a wild animal, it's just to remember a tamed animal is NOT automatically a SAFE animal.
And trying to tame or control something without grasping what makes it tick is a recipe for disaster. Startling a money with a loud noise is NOT a good idea.
probably something regarding social media. the biker dude basically beat you over the head about it.
however, the alien was VERY female-coded (it's basically a giant uterus that menstruates, has a tampon made from those flag strings, etc which makes me wonder if there's another message.
What a c**t. The dude riding the fricking horse was a jockey. Jockeys are marginalized regardless of race. Any rando on the street can name race horses than jockeys. Did any of those jockeys pioneer a moving picture process, or did they just ride horses?
This. Who gives a frick about a megamanlet horse ornament? Oh, you decided to lean into the fact you're basically a hobbit and choose a profession where it's an advantage? Good for you, but don't expect the world to remember your name. Muggsy Bogues on the other hand? Now there's a manlet worthy of respect - a midge who chose to play a giant's game.
This movie sounds based. I'm hyped to see it tomorrow night. Trying to convince my roommates to come with me. Willing to bet this will top or come close to beating Top Gun Maverick . Either way, I'm glad these blockbusters that bring people together are coming back post Covid. That's what film is all about
all the evil ppl in the movie are white
the reporter on the motorcycle is a dick for no reason (bc hes white)
even the tech guy is emasculated
the white middle aged guy running the ad production shots/the white guy on the monkey show are emasculated
only masculine white guy kills himself for basically no reason other than hes a weirdo
i dont think a single black person dies or gets horribly disfigured in the movie
movie tries extremely hard towards the beginning to highlight the main characters skin color as if people would care that black people own a ranch. holy shit just wranglethe animals jesus christ
the father of the main characters is black and he dies
there are several black people in the audience of Jupe's show
the tech guy is not white he's latino
sorry bros you just arent as based as me youll have to try a little harder is all im saying
the father of the main characters is black and he dies
there are several black people in the audience of Jupe's show
the tech guy is not white he's latino
What about the Herzog dude? He seemed pretty awesome to me. Even told the Tech dude "Don't risk your life for the ultimate shot" in the end.
I still think his film survived. That device looked tough as frick.
it had obviously been using the field their home is on as its literal dumping ground for a long period of time... at least 6 months, actually, since his dad was killed at the beginning.
With the blood intact as DNA evidence, it won't be hard to find out how many people died at its "hands".
At this point I can't tell if the woke people are more ridiculous than the anti woke. What would be your reaction if a good movie came out but people were b***hing because theres no black people being portrayed as "good" by their standards?
Its a solid 6.5/10 maybe 7.
Some shots lasted way too long, especially towards the end befoee the motorcycle chase.
The way Keke Palmer talks and acts like a typical horror movie Black folk kind of takes away from the tone of the film too.
As far as wokeism goes for some of you pearl clutchers, there's about two or so instances I can remember.
The first being towards the beginning with the mention of how a black jockey was the first black man to be filmed ever. The second being how Keke says she talks to her therapist about stuff, then follows up with a joke about fricking said therapist. (Therapist is a woman)
Sound design is great, though a little on the nose with the people screaming inside the alien. Some of the shots of the alien are really good too especially towards the end when they're trying to film it and it stops giving a frick. Not the part where it becomes a parachute but the part before.
Overall I'd say watch it. But don't expect alien kino like Fire in the Sky or Signs.
It's just a damn good creature feature. Any other director could have made this film incredibly dumb but this shit had some heart.
Been a while since i walked out of the theater feeling like the money spent was worth it.
Some people really don't seem to get why the chimp "subplot" was there and it make me feel bad for the general moviegoers audience. Poor kid survives but learned the wrong lesson. That's the bad miracle.
hahahaha you really didn't understand a simple fricking metaphor. That's hilarious. I never get sick of summergays.

How is this not an alien abduction movie
It's about an alien abducting people moron
Problem is it fricking sucks
It's been explained earlier.
Yuen survived the monkey attack but learned the wrong lesson from it. He thinks he survived because he had a special connection or trust with the monkey.
In reality he only survived because he didn't trigger the monkey into a rage like everyone else did, and didn't look it in the eye.
Fast forward to alien he thinks if he can earn its trust than he can make money off of it. The alien decides he might as well eat all the people AND the horse he gave him.
This movie fricking SUCKED
I can't believe they let let him make a full on feature based on this script
This shit is going to crash and burn weekend 2
And fricking over TWO HOURS??? What were they fricking thinking?? Catastrophic
He's black , give him his giant jellyfish movie with a chimp subplot , they'll love it
Disastrous
>Aliens represent whitey >Abduction an analogy for the slave trade >Experimenting to break bucks with scientific experiments gone too far a representation of whitey's soullessness >Alien translator said "You will be broken"
Peele was a bit on the nose with this one
I really like that people have so many varied interpretations of this film. I think it not being quite as brazen in its commentary really worked to its credit
Was it though? There was nothing like class in it, just people literally raised underground. If it's supposed to be a metaphor for class divide it's a bad one - like something a kid would come up with. It's just so broad it could be anything which ironically makes it nothing
It's been awhile since I've seen Us and it wasn't my favorite of Peele's movies by a longshot, but yeah, the idea of a bunch of abandoned, disheveled, forgotten people rising up and killing their well-off counterparts en masse seems like a pretty blatant metaphor
Again, if you have a 12 year olds idea of the world. It's so moronic and clumsy I'm just like "that's IT?" with his last two movies

I mean, Get Out wasn't even a metaphor, exactly. It was just about fetishism of race and trendy appropriation of social justice without understanding and the like.
I’m still trying to figure out what the god damn monkey subplot had to do with anything or where it fits into the main story. I feel dumb for not knowing and I even asked my friend after the movie and he couldn’t explain to me.
Also side note Keke Palmer was annoying as frick in this movie
every thread people explain it to someone
monke is wild animal
ufo is wil animal
monke went bananas because it's an animal and people got killed because they didn't account for the fact that something like that could happen
because it acted normally around Jupe he never understood fully the danger of wild animals, so when something as strange as a UFO came he got over himself and thought he can control it, he fed horses to it, and then decided to use it in a show which led to another tragedy
there's also a scene with horses going mad after being mishandled
thematically it's about underestimating how dangerous nature is and introducing a wild creature that's not from Earth creates a new dynamic with the idea
it's Jaws but bigger scale and more action oriented towards the end
Monke: dangerous animal exploited for spectacle until people got complacent with it, deaths that were preventable happened because of their lack of caution.
UFO: dangerous animal Ricky got complacent with in its effort to make it a spectacle, deaths that were preventable happened because of his lack of caution
Morality: you can never be absolutely certain on how an animal will react, so it's best to put safeties in place, especially when the animal is question is strong enough to hurt and even kill you.
it's at least partially about legacy and how badly people desire "stories"
Jupe desperately wants his celebrity back to the point of enshrining and selling a moment of extreme trauma and later trying to sell the alien
OJ's primary motivation throughout the film is to record irrefutable proof of the alien because his dad's business is failing beneath him but he desperately wants to do something important with it, because his dad changed the industry- and his ancestor, the first actor in a film, was forgotten
I think a good chunk of the importance is specifically in regards to what Jupe took away from it. The important part to him was less the lessons learned and more that it was something important and crazy and it happened to HIM. It was a good story.
The shoe standing upright was a coincidence. Gordy not killing him was a coincidence. He assigned both of these things undue importance, convincing himself that the event was special, and that he was special- which is why he has a shrine solely dedicated to Gordy's show and cheerfully talks about the SNL skit based off of the massacre when you would logically think he wants nothing to do with it.
Which leads to him thinking he has something special with the UFO which leads to him getting 40 people killed.
So I think on the surface, it is supposed to show how Jupe believes he is special and untouchable. Looks at the way he recalls the story of Gordy going apeshit vs how it really went down. He has twisted his mind to believe that he is invincible and not even an alien being could take him down.
A little deeper, it fits in with the themes of exploitation in the film. Almost every character and every animal in the movie has been exploited or is being exploited for the greed of the almighty dollar, which they do not see or reap the benefits of.
The monkey was basically the UFO. The only reason the chimp didn't kill Jupe is because he wasn't looking it directly in the eyes. The chimp was a territorial predator just like the Aryan UFO.
So why weren't the crushed bodies of all it's victims puked out along with the blood and the horse? It'd arguably make for a much more horrifying scene too tbh.
Stylistically that'd be a bit too egregious, I think. The sudden crunch, silence, and rain of blood is more chilling like you're like "what just happened to them?" The same reason they don't actually show what's happening to them up there after the woman in the tract sees the dissolved remains.
>Stylistically
And that's the problem, this movie was 100% style over substance. Peele just wanted a creepy shot of the alien menstruating over the house and didn't care how much of his own creation's internal logic he had to violate to get it.
Probably can digest everything but blood and plastic / metal? >How do coins and keys reach terminal velocity when falling from the sky?
This just a supremely autistic nitpick.
The weather guys not noticing is indeed stupid, but you can probably make some excuse that it hides from that shit somehow or people are just stupid and don't notice that.
It didn't arrange a pact. Jupe was feeding it horses, it got used to it, he than lured the animal by gathering a large crowd and using horse as bait.
Well looking at it provokes it, that's just the way it works. It has an "eye" inside the hole I think, the green thing.
>Well looking at it provokes it, that's just the way it works. It has an "eye" inside the hole I think, the green thing.
It will literally stop it's attempt at eating you if you suddenly look away, implying it has 0 object permanence, but it still manages to have enough to permit Jupiter to feed it semi-regularly?
>Probably can digest everything but blood and plastic / metal?
That makes no sense whatsoever, I guess the teeth, hair and nails of those people get digested just fine tho?
>muh deboonked
this isn't a documentary on how physics work
>The only way my movie works is if I completely suspend even the most basic laws of physics without any explanation.
There's a shit ton films that are considered classics but make no sense from the standpoint of physics. No one gives a single frick about that, unless it's like Fast & Furious where people with no superpowers do borderline superhero shit but even that many enjoy for the camp. Complaining about coin velocity is super autistic.
There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's wholesale suspension of reality. If you took even an introductory writing course you'd know the difference between the two.
There's even ways to make that shit work in this movie, what if the monster "farts" it out at high velocity? That'd actually be an interesting way for it to get at people hiding in buildings.
But no, instead you choose to fervently defend lazy hack writing.
Something else just occurred me to, why does this movie even exist? It should have eaten that giant inflatable cowboy the moment it ever saw Jupiter's amusement park and blown itself up ages ago.

Okay I get why someone wouldn't like the films for these reasons, but it's just not something I think about or care. I don't really watch films to "believe" that shit's real, I'm interested more in technical stuf like the direction and themes and how the visuals and structure relate to thematic stuff. But like for people more interested in writing and plot these are fair reasons to dislike the film.

He's no fricking Lynch obviously but I treat every movie like that, and Peele is neither as good as he's lauded nor as bad as Cinemaphile makes him out to be. I'd say all his three features in order I'd rate 6/10, 7/10 and 7.5/10.

That's what kills the movie for me, he didn't need to introduce all this poorly supported extra shit into the film for it to be entertaining, but he did.
Literally could have just made it "Jaws in the Sky", but then he went off and tried creating an entire mythos and ethos behind the creature which then creates audience expectation that he'll flesh them our or properly account for them.
Subverted with me....I always liked the humor and/or horror in someone getting eaten as a story beat but now when I see it, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT is how someone out there likes it a little TOO much.
Vore becoming more known over the last decade or so ruined this kind of gag for me.
I'm a voregay, but movie scenes usually don't get me hot and bothered. This one did though because I wasn't expecting the internal shot, let alone for it to linger on a woman for so long. It probably won't seem as appealing if I rewatch it though.
I remember reading a Canadian horror story where a woman is a literal human vacuum cleaner, and pulls the protagonist into her. Sadly I can't find the damn movie.
Considering its sheer size, it should have employed an angler style lure to draw people in. Hypnosis is much more efficient than just chasing people down.
Its method seemed pretty efficient to me if you're so knowledgeable is hypnosis vore common other than kaa cartoon shit? What about sucking people up or is it that one guy who commissions sandy cheeks penis vore?
What's wierd isbyhta movie going audiences are so animalistically depersonalized, themselves, they never ask for character development of the monster, the chimp, the horses even. The movie goes through sp much effort to literally SPELL OUT NAMES of animals but because the animals themselves have no beginning, no grounding the movie itself treats them like props while trying to tell a moral fable about treating animals like props. Even The Andromeda Strain, Invasion of The Body Snatchers, and that movie about ants gives us an establishing shot of where the monster comes from, in NOPE, all we get is a wierd internal view of the beasts Frame Mouth.
Watch it again, you might notice that the film cameras on Gordy'Home look almost exactly like the monkey alien faces and The Not There aliens are called "The Viewers".
If you know anything about CLASS in real life you would know two things for a fact, Ruling Class People (The Movie Makers) fear those they rule over (the ticket paying audience) and two, after 3 years of Covid movies (Dune, Eternals, Foundation, various other woke/unprofitable features, comics, shoes etc) that Hollywood makes what it wants to make and then tells the audience what they like, so
TL;dr The Audience are the aliens to whomever is really making movies, and we dont even k m.j ow who that is because FILM itself is just a scary umbrella monster with no internal substance, it just eats people, eats actors, eats audiences, but the movie implodes because it swallows itself, Haywood is Hollywood, and the movie is about itself, as so much media these days has become completely cut off from the grounding forces of capitalism that would usually force elites to relate and create for the common man.
But the meme "Lowest Common Denominator" has been poisoning the creative process and like YouTube media covering TV media covering Movie medi, the movie suffers from TREMENDOUS depersonalization.
Even while being about it.
Dubs, so I got that going for me
What's wierd is that part 2
Picture time
What's wierd is that the movie features a TREMENDIUSLY CLASS CONSCIOUS character, a specific Hollywood mansion that has several flying saucer take off locations. Watch a video of this mansion and you'll see that this mansion has 3 separate air dock ports for a flying saucer to land. Watching the movie, I saw that Antlers Holster (wierd thing name holster for an animals swords) was living in a mansion that conjures imaginary flying saucers, itself, and it's in Hollywood
Wierd thing number four
Why would an "animal" visually camouflage itself as the end of space time?
As much as this movie was about movies, it also tied itself to another movie tied to movies, 2001 A Space Odyssey that itself features space ships in the shape of a movie screen.
From the trailer I thought the saucer was their dad come back from the dead. And the horse gif at the beginning inside the ship kind of tied the monster to FILM itself. The way it freaked out trying to swallow flags, I wonder if eating the film, it did a little burp after swallowing Antlers Holster (Animal sword Sheath), I wonder if eating the film initiated the transformation. Probably not but kind of.
Why does this ship, made of film bear so much resemblance to an old timey movie oculus? We even SEE the saucer shaped oculoid through the mechanical imax camera.
What are audiences suppose to think nothing
Watching all the libs trying to make some kind of racially woke angle out of what ended up being a fun monster flick is hilarious. I think Hollywood will turn on Peele if he stops making woke movies and just keeps making action-thrillers from here on out.
She really got the short end of the straw in life. Brutally disguised, then basically tortured to death in a way by fricking UFO.
But at least Ricky didn't just ignore the fact she existed. He invited her to the big show and acknowledged her. Unfortunately it got her killed with him.
Worst part for her is that being confined to a goddamn wheelchair, she had zero chance to escape. What would Ricky do? Just run over and somehow beat the clock?
>But at least Ricky didn't just ignore the fact she existed. >I used to be in love with her but then her face got ripped off so I married someone else! There she is right now, sitting in the friend zone!
The twist is that the flying saucer seen in the trailer isn't a vehicle for some alien guys probing people, it's an extraterrestrial (probably, never actually confirmed) animal that camouflages itself in clouds and is basically just doing animal things, feeding himself, spitting out what it can't digest and reacting with aggression when threatened.
You dont see digestion. The crunch is in the subsequent scene where it flies over the house and sprays their blood all over. I think it was marking territory rather than trying to digest them for food
It usually fully digests them and expels the non-organic material, like the titular monster in The Thing. It didn't have the chance to do that, as the metal horse statue was clogging its digestive track so it "regurgitated" everything it was currently holding.

That wouldn't really make sense, biologically speaking. Bones, flesh, visceral organs can be digested, but not a red blood cell? It all has the same basic building blocks. The beginning of the movie just showed a storm of random metal junk raining from the sky when it took a dump.

It could be a way of marking territory, using its victim's blood. Also an assertion of dominance. It is a territorial predator that does not like to be challenged.

I fell like that's overthinking it. It ate about forty people at once when it's seemingly used to, like, one horse every day or so? It ate way more people in one sitting than it was capable of (plus a large statue it couldn't actually digest to begin with), so it puked.
The theme isn't about wild animals you dipshits. The whole movie is about a bunch of dumbasses trying to get an alien on camera so they can get rich. It's about how everything is turned into media to be consumed and the inherent violence of this act. If you didn't get it when the alien opens its mouth and it just looks like a camera shutter i don't know how to help you
Overall it was meh. First half was good. Second half just dragged on for too long and the ending was kinda shitty. 2 hour run time was too much, but I like what he did with the monster. The morphing and intimidation display at the end was cool.
even in key and peele, jordan peele has a fondness for the "le clever twist of the twist" that almost always feel forced in what should be a simple and funny sketch . he do the same in his movies.
the man dont know how to handle mistery.
The twist in this was pretty nice. It's not a ship, the entire thing IS the alien. But it should have been smarter, like a damn space squid. Huge but clever is scarier.
Anyone else think it would’ve been better had they focused on the Gordy story instead? Feels off when the B plot is thematically packed and the A plot is just another Hollywood monster movie
I wonder if there was a version of the script where Jupe ends up being a more direct antagonist, film seemed to be setting up some confrontation between Jupe and OJ since Jupe was feeding his horses to Jean Jacket and OJ was finding out it was a living creature.
Don't forget the "aliens" from the trailer prowling the ranch (who turned out to just be kids in costumes): we see them again at the star lasso, implying that they're probably Jupe's kids. Maybe in the original cut he was trying to scare the Haywoods off their ranch, Scooby Doo-style?
I feel pretty desensitized to horror but the vore scene followed by the blood waterfall genuienly fricked me up. I'll take being ripped apart by a chimp over being digested alive any day of the week thanks
Nobody thought to stab the damn thing? I'd bite and claw the thing trying to eat me. Forget screaming. I'm going to cause as much discomfort as I can before I die.
The internal shots of the woman not understanding where she is and trying to climb out, and the screams really drive home how horrific of a way to die that is
Yah lack of oxygen would probably get your first. It seems like they were alive in there for a while though, as you can still hear their screams coming from inside it when it flies over the hill
It must have picked up some other people when it got to the house. No way the audience from the show would be alive still with NO AIR.
It also explains why their screams got cut off in unison abruptly. It likely smashes humans in its digestive tract fast, dissolving them at the same time. Hence the sudden rain of undigested blood and various personal items.
it was pretty good movie but a terrible horror movie in my opinion. the most unnerving scenes were very good but few and far between, with not much keeping that atmosphere supported between them. get out and us were both better horror movies
So why does it only eat you if you look a it? Did it interpret staring as sign of agression? In that case its probably not eating people for food but to assert dominance
Everyone is pretty close with their spoonfeeds, but no one really covered the aspect of mankind presuming their de facto status as the top link on the food chain. That presumption comes with a fatal potential blindside. Never let your guard down.
The movie had no horror scenes after the first half. It was more monster thriller from that point.
I ended up liking the overall direction, but wanted more spooks and scares than I got. Guess I'll keep waiting on that truly great alien abduction movie...
It ran out of characters to kill early. Once the crowd was either wiped out completely (or all the survivors got the frick out of Dodge), there wasn't really anyone left to die but a few.
Yeah. I was kinda expecting more form the ending, like a final scene of them developing the film from the cinematographers handcam as he went through the digestive track, and get one last look at it from the inside through that.
Agreed. I really wanted to see what happened to the expert film guy's film. I refuse to believe it was destroyed in the fall. Dude looked like he built that shit to last.

>They see that cowboy hat >OJ says "Nope" >Cut to credits
That's really the scene that made no sense. If they already had alien costumes and it was known in the area that that show was going on, why was it such a surprise that there was a UFO to Black Bucker Breaker? Wouldn't something like that be the talk of that relatively small town?
It wasn't known outside of that dudes family and OJ and his sister, and they weren't sharing info, so they couldn't corroborate their stories together. Jupe was preparing for his first show through the first half of the movie, and was unveiling the alien dolls and costumes at the show... where everyone then died.
I never realized this movie would be such an intelligence filter, but here we are. There are legitimate large review channels complaining about not having their hands held.
>“the chimp side plot doesn’t make sense”
It quite clearly it plays a major part of Jupe’s motivation which caused the NOPE creature to inhabit the area as it’s territory in the first place
>”What does the shoe mean, it’s so random. Were the aliens controlling what was happening on set?”
It’s literally a random chance happening of something that seems perfect, paranormal, and holy during a massacre. It distracts Jupes and prevents him from absorbing the significance of the event.
>“But the ape looked in his eyes all of a sudden at the end of the massacre, shouldn’t he have killed him?! Or was the ape being controlled by the aliens?”
What fricking little green men are these clowns on about? The main reason the chimp didn’t go apeshit on Jupes is because Jupes was obeying the predators rules. He remained small, still, and quiet. Most importantly, he never really made eye contact due to the veil of the table cloth. An impenetrable veil existed between man and nature and in this case, man misunderstood the deeper context (seemingly all the “this movie sucks” audience and Jupes). He didn’t truly create eye contact with him and on the off chance that the “fist bump” did happen, the chimp would have pieced the veil out of curiosity. After that, Jupes would have died. But, that didn’t happen and Jupes took the wrong message from it all. He believed he had some natural or supernatural connection to nature and animals and thus this folly caused him to corral and feed a fricking NOPE predator until it was pissed and he violated its rules.
Extra funny points for the veil being brought back by the mauled woman’s coming off and her violating a predator’s rules again. What bum ass luck, you get eaten alive by two predators in one life time.
The monkey and Jupe's storyline was more interesting than the main characters. I think a lot of that for me had to do with Palmers character being annoying and unlikable to me. After the crowd scene and the regurgitation scene, the movie fell off for me and just started to drag.
If you treat the animals right it's okay, for example the horses on the set were mistreated and that's why they got mad.
The monkey was treated more like a pet despite the obvious danger it posed and there were no safety precautions
and fricking with some sort of a giant alien thing is the stupidest thing
Actually, box jellyfish have true, functioning eyes as well as a nerve ring that coordinates pulsing movements and is apparently capable of some degree of visual processing and obstacle avoidance.
well it is some weird ass alien, maybe it's four dimensional or something
It's muh erasure of black contributions to filmmaking, uniromically. Peele stated so in a recent interview.
which one? in the film the jokey thing is a like a throwaway line, nothing resembling cultural erasure in the rest of the film, makes no sense at all
it's like that time Spike Lee said that in Do The Right Thing Sal was in the wrong even tho it's obvious the film doesn't portray it that way
Don't think too much about it. Maybe the Peele just likes Evangelion. Maybe he wanted to portrays the complete weirdness of an extraterrestrial lifeform by making it do unexplainable stuff. Maybe he just thought the saucer design was quite boring for the climax and he needed a way to slow the monster down.
In-universe you can always rationalize it as an intimidation tactic, you know, it makes itself bigger to stare down threats. Bit stupid however because it doesn't really do anything more dangerous in this form, unless maybe there's a stronger wind around it but it's hard to show.
>You see them get dragged up the vortex >30-45 seconds straight of them getting peristalsis massaged shown (this YouTube clip is missing one of the shots)
And there could be another minute of this in the additional footage they shot.
I have seen a lot of people say this is Keke Palmers best role and her acting, but I though she was one of the worst parts of the movie. What did you guys think?
is it true that the cloud is made from evil hwhite peepo
Yes
The cloud is a symbol of br*tish imperialism
Not exactly, but the alien is a white person.
The best part is when __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
what the frick, that's such a shocking twist
wtf
How are you guys reading this I can’t see
triple click it
wait, you have Cinemaphile pass right?
Damn, the twisted mind of Jordan Peele produced this joint?
how did he do it
that didn't happen
It is only underscores, do not even bother fellow Cinemaphileners, we have better things to be doing with our time.
I will now watch the movie
Accurate.
i laughed, good one
Don’t fall for this. Is just “morbin time 2.0” to trick people into watching it.
The alien ship is a living organism that represents white predators treatment of POC
It bled on the house as a form of buck breaking through the blood of colonialist oppression
When they zoomed into Kaluha's face and the white director guy was like "you can break it" I stifled an IRL kek
The more I've come to terms with the fact that it isn't a horror alien movie like signs, which is what I wanted it to be so badly, the more I'm starting to come back around to it. The fact that I'm thinking about it 3 days after seeing it says it all. Most movies I watch in theatres I forget about immediately once I leave the kinoplex
>get out: muh racism
>us: muh class divide
>nope: muh ____
I’m still trying to figure out what the message was tbh. Animal exploitation?
Low IQ detection
muh just have fun at the theater and stop overthinking this cinematic gift you've been given
thinking for two seconds is overthinking when you’re dealing with a Peele.
muh nkey
underrated
>hubris/frick around and find out
>class divide
No, the clones and the surface people are the same, the metaphor here is that people underground are repressed psyche and then they lash out and start a revolution. The twist was important because it showed that the clones differed in no way from normal human and are only fricked up because of the conditions (repression).
I don't think there's a message it's just a twilight zoney concept made into a feature. UFO shows up but ooh it's basically a dumb animal not an alien ship
>Dumb animal
So dumb it chose directly to spew the blood of all the people it mulched over several hours onto the house
Sometimes my dog shits on the carpet, what's your point?
it had obviously been using the field their home is on as its literal dumping ground for a long period of time... at least 6 months, actually, since his dad was killed at the beginning.
unironically I think it’s something like “muh hollywood system”, the green screen horse being wheeled onset at the start and the Haywood’s desire to get the Oprah shot symbolize how movies are gradually moving away from involving real workers who live in Hollywood.
You basically got it. It's the old "this town grinds people up and spits them back out" metaphor turned very literal. All the main characters in the movie are basically washed up and still trying to cling to careers that Hollywood no longer needs or wants them for.
>muh tokenism
it's at least partially about legacy and how badly people desire "stories"
Jupe desperately wants his celebrity back to the point of enshrining and selling a moment of extreme trauma and later trying to sell the alien
OJ's primary motivation throughout the film is to record irrefutable proof of the alien because his dad's business is failing beneath him but he desperately wants to do something important with it, because his dad changed the industry- and his ancestor, the first actor in a film, was forgotten
like a tl;dr i might give is "chasing spectacle and importance is plainly dangerous and will fricking kill you, but everyone wants it, regardless"
It's about how you cant tame wild animals, and in doing so, they repress us. The monster is a natural predator that obviously is supposed to represent a biblical angel
kys
It sounds like it has themes similar to Jurassic Park, and that makes me want to see it.
Except we can and have tamed basically every wild animal on the planet, including humans. Is Jordan Peele moronic?
Shut up Wh*t*iod
The theme isn't that we can't tame a wild animal, it's just to remember a tamed animal is NOT automatically a SAFE animal.
And trying to tame or control something without grasping what makes it tick is a recipe for disaster. Startling a money with a loud noise is NOT a good idea.
Seriously, even animals like dogs can badly hurt or kill humans if you're stupid around them.
Exploitation
probably something regarding social media. the biker dude basically beat you over the head about it.
however, the alien was VERY female-coded (it's basically a giant uterus that menstruates, has a tampon made from those flag strings, etc which makes me wonder if there's another message.
>muh class divide
explain
muh reply
muh Spectacle
voyeurism, i think. the same theme as the song vicarious by tool.
horse
It's muh erasure of black contributions to filmmaking, uniromically. Peele stated so in a recent interview.
What a c**t. The dude riding the fricking horse was a jockey. Jockeys are marginalized regardless of race. Any rando on the street can name race horses than jockeys. Did any of those jockeys pioneer a moving picture process, or did they just ride horses?
This. Who gives a frick about a megamanlet horse ornament? Oh, you decided to lean into the fact you're basically a hobbit and choose a profession where it's an advantage? Good for you, but don't expect the world to remember your name. Muggsy Bogues on the other hand? Now there's a manlet worthy of respect - a midge who chose to play a giant's game.
The trailer was too scary
Wait till you see what happens next
If there's even more white people I'm going to cry
Theres a whitey in the UFO
Images taken moments before digestion, I mean disaster.
To paraphrase the dude from "Pacific Rim",
>"This isn't a rodeo, it's a buffet line!"
TMZ doesn't have the best standards for hiring, lol.
This movie sounds based. I'm hyped to see it tomorrow night. Trying to convince my roommates to come with me. Willing to bet this will top or come close to beating Top Gun Maverick . Either way, I'm glad these blockbusters that bring people together are coming back post Covid. That's what film is all about
>Willing to bet this will top or come close to beating Top Gun Maverick
Absolutely not going to happen
so were the leaks that get spammed here true?
Nope
>conservacucks and leftards both trying desperately to find some woke meaning in the film
>literally just a fun alien thriller
lol
>B-But theres black people! That means it's woke!!
all the evil ppl in the movie are white
the reporter on the motorcycle is a dick for no reason (bc hes white)
even the tech guy is emasculated
the white middle aged guy running the ad production shots/the white guy on the monkey show are emasculated
only masculine white guy kills himself for basically no reason other than hes a weirdo
i dont think a single black person dies or gets horribly disfigured in the movie
movie tries extremely hard towards the beginning to highlight the main characters skin color as if people would care that black people own a ranch. holy shit just wranglethe animals jesus christ
in summation i am based and you must dilate
you gotta really reach for it to think the ufo movie is about race
sorry bros you just arent as based as me youll have to try a little harder is all im saying
the father of the main characters is black and he dies
there are several black people in the audience of Jupe's show
the tech guy is not white he's latino
Also the best film guy among them is a white guy similar to Herzog. And he isn't evil, as he endangers no one but himself at the end.
So you're saying the black guy dies first, eh?
TMZ guy looked Latino to me, based on the glimpse I caught of him when he was down on the ground.
There's no evil people in this film. Also we don't see the race of the guy on the motorcycle but he was a dick because he's a reporter, simple as.
Not only that there is not a single white person in the movie that is portrayed as either good or intelligent.
What about the Herzog dude? He seemed pretty awesome to me. Even told the Tech dude "Don't risk your life for the ultimate shot" in the end.
I still think his film survived. That device looked tough as frick.
With the blood intact as DNA evidence, it won't be hard to find out how many people died at its "hands".
At this point I can't tell if the woke people are more ridiculous than the anti woke. What would be your reaction if a good movie came out but people were b***hing because theres no black people being portrayed as "good" by their standards?
What is the storm cloud suppose to represent?
Predators are unpredictable
Its a solid 6.5/10 maybe 7.
Some shots lasted way too long, especially towards the end befoee the motorcycle chase.
The way Keke Palmer talks and acts like a typical horror movie Black folk kind of takes away from the tone of the film too.
As far as wokeism goes for some of you pearl clutchers, there's about two or so instances I can remember.
The first being towards the beginning with the mention of how a black jockey was the first black man to be filmed ever. The second being how Keke says she talks to her therapist about stuff, then follows up with a joke about fricking said therapist. (Therapist is a woman)
Sound design is great, though a little on the nose with the people screaming inside the alien. Some of the shots of the alien are really good too especially towards the end when they're trying to film it and it stops giving a frick. Not the part where it becomes a parachute but the part before.
Overall I'd say watch it. But don't expect alien kino like Fire in the Sky or Signs.
How is mentioning the fact a black man was the first to be filmed woke? You all have to pick your battles better if you want Trump to win again
This is a good post and I think is a fair assessment of the movie
It's just a damn good creature feature. Any other director could have made this film incredibly dumb but this shit had some heart.
Been a while since i walked out of the theater feeling like the money spent was worth it.
Some people really don't seem to get why the chimp "subplot" was there and it make me feel bad for the general moviegoers audience. Poor kid survives but learned the wrong lesson. That's the bad miracle.
>Some people really don't seem to get why the chimp "subplot" was there
Give us a QRD jigaboo
You want me to explain to you a metaphor that the film relishes in revealing to you over two hours? How about just pay the 14 bucks cuck
In other words no answer
This movie was fricking AWFUL
Like worst of all time garbage
hahahaha you really didn't understand a simple fricking metaphor. That's hilarious. I never get sick of summergays.
You're a complete moron defending a Black person movie about a giant sand dollar
Worst garbage I've seen in YEARS
I hope that Black person tongue feels real nice against your anus alongside Chelsea Peretti's gigantic nostrils
lmao you are
ASS
BLASTED
over this flick, it really must have been scawy that you didn't get a subplot in simple as nails monster movie. I am reeling
Dude this is the worst shit of 2022
You aren't just trolling, you're signing up with the Stupid Corps
You're the fricking commandant of the Stupid Corps my moron friend. And that's a good thing.
did someone call you that shit the other day and now you're just recycling it? unoriginal homosexual
Can you not scroll up in a thread you mouthbreathing Black person? Click on the reply link at least. It's called context. Jesus this board is really goddamned idiotic.
Sounds like you got mad that it wasn't an alien abduction movie, and decided to stay mad instead of enjoying the monster movie you got.
How is this not an alien abduction movie
It's about an alien abducting people moron
Problem is it fricking sucks
>Problem is it fricking sucks
Yep, it sure does
Only if you break my 20 dollar buck
I want to hear more about the wrong lesson
It's been explained earlier.
Yuen survived the monkey attack but learned the wrong lesson from it. He thinks he survived because he had a special connection or trust with the monkey.
In reality he only survived because he didn't trigger the monkey into a rage like everyone else did, and didn't look it in the eye.
Fast forward to alien he thinks if he can earn its trust than he can make money off of it. The alien decides he might as well eat all the people AND the horse he gave him.
This movie fricking SUCKED
I can't believe they let let him make a full on feature based on this script
This shit is going to crash and burn weekend 2
And fricking over TWO HOURS??? What were they fricking thinking?? Catastrophic
He's black , give him his giant jellyfish movie with a chimp subplot , they'll love it
Disastrous
Nope
>Aliens represent whitey
>Abduction an analogy for the slave trade
>Experimenting to break bucks with scientific experiments gone too far a representation of whitey's soullessness
>Alien translator said "You will be broken"
Peele was a bit on the nose with this one
i had completely forgotten about sneed and feed and buck breaking until I read your post. frick you anon.
nice fricking shill thread jordan
I'm not seeing this
All I see here is a bunch of Black personlovers shilling a bad movie
Post alien
bump
peele seems to have restrained his weird racist hatred for white people this time.
it unfolds into a big spaghetti thing some are comparing to a biblical angel at the end of the movie
more ayy art
thats pretty cool
>some are comparing to a biblical angel at the end of the movie
We don't care what reddit are saying
hating whites isn't "racist" it's just natural self preservation
People went in expecting signs but they got tremors instead. I’m not even mad.
Why did Jordan Peele cast Michael B. Jordan to be the chimp? Didn't that seem kinda racist to anyone else?
I've never seen any other of this guys movies, but I like this idea
I really like that people have so many varied interpretations of this film. I think it not being quite as brazen in its commentary really worked to its credit
>people having no idea what it was about is a good thing
US had the same problem. There's a million interpretations cause it's poorly made
US felt like it was pretty obviously about the class divide
Was it though? There was nothing like class in it, just people literally raised underground. If it's supposed to be a metaphor for class divide it's a bad one - like something a kid would come up with. It's just so broad it could be anything which ironically makes it nothing
It's been awhile since I've seen Us and it wasn't my favorite of Peele's movies by a longshot, but yeah, the idea of a bunch of abandoned, disheveled, forgotten people rising up and killing their well-off counterparts en masse seems like a pretty blatant metaphor
Again, if you have a 12 year olds idea of the world. It's so moronic and clumsy I'm just like "that's IT?" with his last two movies
I mean, Get Out wasn't even a metaphor, exactly. It was just about fetishism of race and trendy appropriation of social justice without understanding and the like.
I’m still trying to figure out what the god damn monkey subplot had to do with anything or where it fits into the main story. I feel dumb for not knowing and I even asked my friend after the movie and he couldn’t explain to me.
Also side note Keke Palmer was annoying as frick in this movie
Man you aren't kidding
They should never put that b***h in anything again ever, what were they thinking
Fricking charisma apocalypse
every thread people explain it to someone
monke is wild animal
ufo is wil animal
monke went bananas because it's an animal and people got killed because they didn't account for the fact that something like that could happen
because it acted normally around Jupe he never understood fully the danger of wild animals, so when something as strange as a UFO came he got over himself and thought he can control it, he fed horses to it, and then decided to use it in a show which led to another tragedy
there's also a scene with horses going mad after being mishandled
thematically it's about underestimating how dangerous nature is and introducing a wild creature that's not from Earth creates a new dynamic with the idea
it's Jaws but bigger scale and more action oriented towards the end
This is such a terrible idea for a movie
How did they let this get made, and at fricking over two hours
What a fricking disaster
They'll be laughing all the way to the bank.
I can imagine it being way more scary as a blimp attraction at Universal Studios than in the movie itself.
Monke: dangerous animal exploited for spectacle until people got complacent with it, deaths that were preventable happened because of their lack of caution.
UFO: dangerous animal Ricky got complacent with in its effort to make it a spectacle, deaths that were preventable happened because of his lack of caution
Morality: you can never be absolutely certain on how an animal will react, so it's best to put safeties in place, especially when the animal is question is strong enough to hurt and even kill you.
Tying into
I think a good chunk of the importance is specifically in regards to what Jupe took away from it. The important part to him was less the lessons learned and more that it was something important and crazy and it happened to HIM. It was a good story.
The shoe standing upright was a coincidence. Gordy not killing him was a coincidence. He assigned both of these things undue importance, convincing himself that the event was special, and that he was special- which is why he has a shrine solely dedicated to Gordy's show and cheerfully talks about the SNL skit based off of the massacre when you would logically think he wants nothing to do with it.
Which leads to him thinking he has something special with the UFO which leads to him getting 40 people killed.
So I think on the surface, it is supposed to show how Jupe believes he is special and untouchable. Looks at the way he recalls the story of Gordy going apeshit vs how it really went down. He has twisted his mind to believe that he is invincible and not even an alien being could take him down.
A little deeper, it fits in with the themes of exploitation in the film. Almost every character and every animal in the movie has been exploited or is being exploited for the greed of the almighty dollar, which they do not see or reap the benefits of.
The ufo was the monkey. It had the same rules
The monkey was basically the UFO. The only reason the chimp didn't kill Jupe is because he wasn't looking it directly in the eyes. The chimp was a territorial predator just like the Aryan UFO.
Why did the monster not bleed all over OJ and his dad when it was expelling the inorganic material all over them in the beginning scene?
Why does only the blood from the victims get expelled and not other shit like hair, teeth, and nails?
How do coins and keys reach terminal velocity when falling from the sky?
How does the military/weather station not pick up this frick hueg fast mover on their radars?
How can "animal" be smart enough to arrange a pact with Jupiter/OJ but fail to recognize the difference between real and fake animals?
Why does it even matter if you're "looking" at it or not?
Contrived bullshit.
first time he was just pooping out the inorganic material but the alien digested the hikers
second time the alien couldnt even digest them because of the plastic horse, so it crushed the people in the tract while “puking” the horse
This was so easy to figure out. Too many smooth brains in this thread.
So why weren't the crushed bodies of all it's victims puked out along with the blood and the horse? It'd arguably make for a much more horrifying scene too tbh.
Stylistically that'd be a bit too egregious, I think. The sudden crunch, silence, and rain of blood is more chilling like you're like "what just happened to them?" The same reason they don't actually show what's happening to them up there after the woman in the tract sees the dissolved remains.
>Stylistically
And that's the problem, this movie was 100% style over substance. Peele just wanted a creepy shot of the alien menstruating over the house and didn't care how much of his own creation's internal logic he had to violate to get it.
Probably can digest everything but blood and plastic / metal?
>How do coins and keys reach terminal velocity when falling from the sky?
This just a supremely autistic nitpick.
The weather guys not noticing is indeed stupid, but you can probably make some excuse that it hides from that shit somehow or people are just stupid and don't notice that.
It didn't arrange a pact. Jupe was feeding it horses, it got used to it, he than lured the animal by gathering a large crowd and using horse as bait.
Well looking at it provokes it, that's just the way it works. It has an "eye" inside the hole I think, the green thing.
>This just a supremely autistic nitpick.
Except it's not? The throwing a penny of the Empire State Building myth has been debunked for decades now.
Not only that, these frickers are lighting people up like the intro Saving Private Ryan all from being dropped from maybe 100-200 meters up.
>muh deboonked
this isn't a documentary on how physics work
>Well looking at it provokes it, that's just the way it works. It has an "eye" inside the hole I think, the green thing.
It will literally stop it's attempt at eating you if you suddenly look away, implying it has 0 object permanence, but it still manages to have enough to permit Jupiter to feed it semi-regularly?
>Probably can digest everything but blood and plastic / metal?
That makes no sense whatsoever, I guess the teeth, hair and nails of those people get digested just fine tho?
>The only way my movie works is if I completely suspend even the most basic laws of physics without any explanation.
There's a shit ton films that are considered classics but make no sense from the standpoint of physics. No one gives a single frick about that, unless it's like Fast & Furious where people with no superpowers do borderline superhero shit but even that many enjoy for the camp. Complaining about coin velocity is super autistic.
And there's also this crap which is going to be forgotten in a week
Your movie sucks, Jordan
There's suspension of disbelief, and then there's wholesale suspension of reality. If you took even an introductory writing course you'd know the difference between the two.
There's even ways to make that shit work in this movie, what if the monster "farts" it out at high velocity? That'd actually be an interesting way for it to get at people hiding in buildings.
But no, instead you choose to fervently defend lazy hack writing.
Something else just occurred me to, why does this movie even exist? It should have eaten that giant inflatable cowboy the moment it ever saw Jupiter's amusement park and blown itself up ages ago.
Peele is an improv comedy median, not a writer
Everything he's made besides Get Out has been completely incoherent
I'm starting to think he pulled a Donnie Darko with that one and there's a dead college roommate waiting to be discovered
True, lol, hadn't thought of that.
Also, Akira Bike slide.
Okay I get why someone wouldn't like the films for these reasons, but it's just not something I think about or care. I don't really watch films to "believe" that shit's real, I'm interested more in technical stuf like the direction and themes and how the visuals and structure relate to thematic stuff. But like for people more interested in writing and plot these are fair reasons to dislike the film.
Dude, Lynch is great but this Peele guy is just a loser
I saw Get Out and Us and thought they're were fine but mostly mediocre, liked Us a little more. Nope I enjoyed and thought it his best film. He's no fricking Lynch obviously but I treat every movie like that, and Peele is neither as good as he's lauded nor as bad as Cinemaphile makes him out to be. I'd say all his three features in order I'd rate 6/10, 7/10 and 7.5/10.
Theatre is an entierly different artform but indeed I wouldn't be surprised some might watch them for the way the sets are built and utilized. I thinj film is a visual medium first and foremost but viusals don't include only cinematography for me but also editing.
The only Lynch failure is Inland Empire, because he started filming without a script and just made it up as he went along
Both Peele movies after Get Out feel like he was just making it up as he went along . And both of his TV series flopped. This guy is not going anyway careerwise.
i like Inland Empire
Lynch doesn't
The doc about is amazing, he's so pissed off the whole time
>not going anywhere career wise
Don't the budget for his movies keep getting bigger. If he consistently demonstrates and ability to deliver high returns on higher budgets than he is certainly going up from here.
I like him more as a writer, as at the very least he has a lot of clever ideas. Just hand his works off to directors more experienced.
Literally the opposite, he's a capable idea maker and director but doesn't give a frick about details ans suspension of disbelief. I don't care but there are people in this thread that did care, and it's objectively true that he's a worse writer than director.
Its the M Night Shalhalnlamalnmon all over again, his next movie will have the largest budget and be a brainlet minimalist concept that no one will give a frick about and ruin his career
inland empire is dope
Do you get paid per hour or per post? Yeah man I don't really care about the movie itself I just like seeing what lenses they used so I thought it was great and would totally recommend
i wish i was paid
i'm not talking about camera lenses, learn what formalism is
Mr fantastic over here twisting and turning his way out of admitting the movie is ass
>i can't comprehend that there are people who like the movie i don't like
>some people watch plays for the performances or the dialogue, I like them for the set design
more like COPE
That's what kills the movie for me, he didn't need to introduce all this poorly supported extra shit into the film for it to be entertaining, but he did.
Literally could have just made it "Jaws in the Sky", but then he went off and tried creating an entire mythos and ethos behind the creature which then creates audience expectation that he'll flesh them our or properly account for them.
I’ve only seen Us. That was a true dogshit film.
Yeah Us was garbage. This guy is really pushing his luck. One hit and at least four flops
Vore: The Movie, lol.
This joke has been made so thoroughly and often I'm starting to think Cinemaphile has DeviantArt open in the other tab.
Meh. UFO should have had hypno powers.
That's ridiculous, my only other tabs are HentaiFoundry and Renderotica.
No one's getting off to a flying hoover in the sky
>Voregays trying to not bring up their fetish whenever someone gets eaten alive in any media
Subverted with me....I always liked the humor and/or horror in someone getting eaten as a story beat but now when I see it, ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT is how someone out there likes it a little TOO much.
Vore becoming more known over the last decade or so ruined this kind of gag for me.
Shame. I would have loved to see hypnosis worked in, like an angler fish lure.
>Humans get drawn to one spot
>UFO vacuums them up
>They're all oblivious
Everything is a fetish for someone just ignore the freaks.
I'm a voregay, but movie scenes usually don't get me hot and bothered. This one did though because I wasn't expecting the internal shot, let alone for it to linger on a woman for so long. It probably won't seem as appealing if I rewatch it though.
Pair it with hypnosis in your mind. Then it's not brutal. I like vore but not into suffering. I like vore stuff to be about hypnotized individuals.
>no women ever eat people in movies
Kinda bullshit
I remember reading a Canadian horror story where a woman is a literal human vacuum cleaner, and pulls the protagonist into her. Sadly I can't find the damn movie.
"Jennifer's Body" unfortunately is all Hard Vore.
Damn story, correction. Frick I am not awake.
Is it this https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0608335/
Yes. But this is the story it's based on. It's in the Northern Frights 3 anthology.
http://explanationisthedeathofhorror.blogspot.com/2016/08/northern-frights-3-1995-edited-by-don.html
I kind of feel for these actors performing this it comes off as a modern day web fetish video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DA0zGg6bbU
An acting job is an acting job.
Considering its sheer size, it should have employed an angler style lure to draw people in. Hypnosis is much more efficient than just chasing people down.
Its method seemed pretty efficient to me if you're so knowledgeable is hypnosis vore common other than kaa cartoon shit? What about sucking people up or is it that one guy who commissions sandy cheeks penis vore?
Hypnohub has a lot of such content.
What's wierd isbyhta movie going audiences are so animalistically depersonalized, themselves, they never ask for character development of the monster, the chimp, the horses even. The movie goes through sp much effort to literally SPELL OUT NAMES of animals but because the animals themselves have no beginning, no grounding the movie itself treats them like props while trying to tell a moral fable about treating animals like props. Even The Andromeda Strain, Invasion of The Body Snatchers, and that movie about ants gives us an establishing shot of where the monster comes from, in NOPE, all we get is a wierd internal view of the beasts Frame Mouth.
Watch it again, you might notice that the film cameras on Gordy'Home look almost exactly like the monkey alien faces and The Not There aliens are called "The Viewers".
If you know anything about CLASS in real life you would know two things for a fact, Ruling Class People (The Movie Makers) fear those they rule over (the ticket paying audience) and two, after 3 years of Covid movies (Dune, Eternals, Foundation, various other woke/unprofitable features, comics, shoes etc) that Hollywood makes what it wants to make and then tells the audience what they like, so
TL;dr The Audience are the aliens to whomever is really making movies, and we dont even k m.j ow who that is because FILM itself is just a scary umbrella monster with no internal substance, it just eats people, eats actors, eats audiences, but the movie implodes because it swallows itself, Haywood is Hollywood, and the movie is about itself, as so much media these days has become completely cut off from the grounding forces of capitalism that would usually force elites to relate and create for the common man.
But the meme "Lowest Common Denominator" has been poisoning the creative process and like YouTube media covering TV media covering Movie medi, the movie suffers from TREMENDOUS depersonalization.
Even while being about it.
tl;dr Animal Name Chapters failed
Dubs, so I got that going for me
What's wierd is that part 2
Picture time
What's wierd is that the movie features a TREMENDIUSLY CLASS CONSCIOUS character, a specific Hollywood mansion that has several flying saucer take off locations. Watch a video of this mansion and you'll see that this mansion has 3 separate air dock ports for a flying saucer to land. Watching the movie, I saw that Antlers Holster (wierd thing name holster for an animals swords) was living in a mansion that conjures imaginary flying saucers, itself, and it's in Hollywood
Wierd thing number four
Why would an "animal" visually camouflage itself as the end of space time?
As much as this movie was about movies, it also tied itself to another movie tied to movies, 2001 A Space Odyssey that itself features space ships in the shape of a movie screen.
Anyone else absolutely LOVE the rendition of "Flying Purple People Eater"? Michael Wincott's voice absolutely sells it.
man it's crazy how much these miral varketing posts stand out on here
>Viral marketing
Dude I just like the fricking song to begin with. Also the demonic rendition of Sunglasses At Night.
Great song, anon!
Be sure to see N O P E, playing in all theaters NOW!!!
a lot of the posts do feel like marketing and I'm saying this as someone who thought the film was okay
From the trailer I thought the saucer was their dad come back from the dead. And the horse gif at the beginning inside the ship kind of tied the monster to FILM itself. The way it freaked out trying to swallow flags, I wonder if eating the film, it did a little burp after swallowing Antlers Holster (Animal sword Sheath), I wonder if eating the film initiated the transformation. Probably not but kind of.
Why does this ship, made of film bear so much resemblance to an old timey movie oculus? We even SEE the saucer shaped oculoid through the mechanical imax camera.
What are audiences suppose to think
nothing
i just watch twin peaks the return again
the only Black person in that gives 2 rides
He tricked audiences into watching his very own 50’s sci-fi giant monster flick, that’s actually based and crafty
Nope.
Watching all the libs trying to make some kind of racially woke angle out of what ended up being a fun monster flick is hilarious. I think Hollywood will turn on Peele if he stops making woke movies and just keeps making action-thrillers from here on out.
Gordy did nothing wrong
This shot was so fricking beautiful, couldn't believe it was in this film
is there a torrent already available? movie doesnt open in my country until late august
still no torrent right?
Oh for frick's sake, "Nope" isn't about race.
It's about how the pursuit of fame can destroy you....and Vore.
All of Jordan Peele's movies are very good (and it's real kino compared to what Hollywood is feeding us now). And we love them. But we can't admit it.
agreed
white people really do be looking like this and shit tho
She really got the short end of the straw in life. Brutally disguised, then basically tortured to death in a way by fricking UFO.
But at least Ricky didn't just ignore the fact she existed. He invited her to the big show and acknowledged her. Unfortunately it got her killed with him.
Worst part for her is that being confined to a goddamn wheelchair, she had zero chance to escape. What would Ricky do? Just run over and somehow beat the clock?
>But at least Ricky didn't just ignore the fact she existed.
>I used to be in love with her but then her face got ripped off so I married someone else! There she is right now, sitting in the friend zone!
Stand up guy.
That's how white people who own chimps look like
Bring back the vore talk. Her fate is depressing me.
nope, don't believe you
So, what actually is the cause of those weird clouds? What's the big twist?
The twist is that the flying saucer seen in the trailer isn't a vehicle for some alien guys probing people, it's an extraterrestrial (probably, never actually confirmed) animal that camouflages itself in clouds and is basically just doing animal things, feeding himself, spitting out what it can't digest and reacting with aggression when threatened.
It's a parable about taming the wild black man and how whites are responsible for most of the wrongs on the planet.
M O N K E
oooOOOooOoOOooo
anyone have a clip of the star lasso scene
Vore alert, Vore alert. Not into the screaming and misery (should have been hypno stuff), but oh well.

I heard people say that there is a crunch where they stop screaming, also where is the digestion??
You dont see digestion. The crunch is in the subsequent scene where it flies over the house and sprays their blood all over. I think it was marking territory rather than trying to digest them for food
So it eats them, digests them and then shits on their house?
It usually fully digests them and expels the non-organic material, like the titular monster in The Thing. It didn't have the chance to do that, as the metal horse statue was clogging its digestive track so it "regurgitated" everything it was currently holding.
Muh dick. Thanks anon
I like to think it's not capable of digesting blood. Makes it more gruesome and alien to us.
>I like to think it's not capable of digesting blood
That wouldn't really make sense, biologically speaking. Bones, flesh, visceral organs can be digested, but not a red blood cell? It all has the same basic building blocks. The beginning of the movie just showed a storm of random metal junk raining from the sky when it took a dump.
It could be a way of marking territory, using its victim's blood. Also an assertion of dominance. It is a territorial predator that does not like to be challenged.
It went right after that big balloon that seemed to look at it.
I fell like that's overthinking it. It ate about forty people at once when it's seemingly used to, like, one horse every day or so? It ate way more people in one sitting than it was capable of (plus a large statue it couldn't actually digest to begin with), so it puked.
The theme isn't about wild animals you dipshits. The whole movie is about a bunch of dumbasses trying to get an alien on camera so they can get rich. It's about how everything is turned into media to be consumed and the inherent violence of this act. If you didn't get it when the alien opens its mouth and it just looks like a camera shutter i don't know how to help you
Oh, and that TMZ is Pure Stupid-Evil. Seriously, was that idiot high?
I unironically thought he was
Overall it was meh. First half was good. Second half just dragged on for too long and the ending was kinda shitty. 2 hour run time was too much, but I like what he did with the monster. The morphing and intimidation display at the end was cool.
even in key and peele, jordan peele has a fondness for the "le clever twist of the twist" that almost always feel forced in what should be a simple and funny sketch . he do the same in his movies.
the man dont know how to handle mistery.
The twist in this was pretty nice. It's not a ship, the entire thing IS the alien. But it should have been smarter, like a damn space squid. Huge but clever is scarier.
Anyone else think it would’ve been better had they focused on the Gordy story instead? Feels off when the B plot is thematically packed and the A plot is just another Hollywood monster movie
I admit I wish Ricky (a.k.a Jupe) had gotten more to do.
Maybe I'm just tired of horrors killing Gwen.
I wonder if there was a version of the script where Jupe ends up being a more direct antagonist, film seemed to be setting up some confrontation between Jupe and OJ since Jupe was feeding his horses to Jean Jacket and OJ was finding out it was a living creature.
If that were the case do you think OJ would've had given her a throat ache?
Don't forget the "aliens" from the trailer prowling the ranch (who turned out to just be kids in costumes): we see them again at the star lasso, implying that they're probably Jupe's kids. Maybe in the original cut he was trying to scare the Haywoods off their ranch, Scooby Doo-style?
>implied
He literally yells "don't miss with jupiter's claim!" doesn't he?
Because the metal horse they have was stolen from them by Em
You could argue that it was dueling A plots if the ending didn't drag on for so long
I feel pretty desensitized to horror but the vore scene followed by the blood waterfall genuienly fricked me up. I'll take being ripped apart by a chimp over being digested alive any day of the week thanks
Nobody thought to stab the damn thing? I'd bite and claw the thing trying to eat me. Forget screaming. I'm going to cause as much discomfort as I can before I die.
I mean it looks like it was made out of some weird inorganic material. Probably safe to assume its too tough to be stabbed through with human strength
The barbed wire hurt it. Something sharp can cause it sufficient discomfort to get it to spit you out.
Unfortunately being a wild animal, it would likely do its unfolding trick and try to strangle you in rage.
The internal shots of the woman not understanding where she is and trying to climb out, and the screams really drive home how horrific of a way to die that is
Wouldn't you eventually pass out from the lack of air? I don't think oxygen is in abundance in such a spot, especially with everyone screaming.
Yah lack of oxygen would probably get your first. It seems like they were alive in there for a while though, as you can still hear their screams coming from inside it when it flies over the hill
It must have picked up some other people when it got to the house. No way the audience from the show would be alive still with NO AIR.
It also explains why their screams got cut off in unison abruptly. It likely smashes humans in its digestive tract fast, dissolving them at the same time. Hence the sudden rain of undigested blood and various personal items.
it was pretty good movie but a terrible horror movie in my opinion. the most unnerving scenes were very good but few and far between, with not much keeping that atmosphere supported between them. get out and us were both better horror movies
So why does it only eat you if you look a it? Did it interpret staring as sign of agression? In that case its probably not eating people for food but to assert dominance
i think they say it in the film that it's a territorial predator
It might have sensed how passive Jupe was and wasn't threatened by him alone. Feeding it was probably interpreted as a form of deference.
YOU AINT TAME US YT BOY
What is the weird square tunnel thing we see in the opening and during the scene it eats the audience? Was that its windpipe?
its visual receptors
Everyone is pretty close with their spoonfeeds, but no one really covered the aspect of mankind presuming their de facto status as the top link on the food chain. That presumption comes with a fatal potential blindside. Never let your guard down.
So it's about a big jellyfish that flies around and eats people? Why doesn't the army fire a rocket at it?
they are trying to capture it and turn it into a weapon. but it's quite slippery.
Only the MCs know about it and want to keep it a secret so they can be the first to capture footage of it
Nice try Peele
makes me sad that the scariest scene was a fake out
The movie had no horror scenes after the first half. It was more monster thriller from that point.
The "alien raid"? Yeah that was pretty fun.
I ended up liking the overall direction, but wanted more spooks and scares than I got. Guess I'll keep waiting on that truly great alien abduction movie...
It ran out of characters to kill early. Once the crowd was either wiped out completely (or all the survivors got the frick out of Dodge), there wasn't really anyone left to die but a few.
Yeah. I was kinda expecting more form the ending, like a final scene of them developing the film from the cinematographers handcam as he went through the digestive track, and get one last look at it from the inside through that.
Agreed. I really wanted to see what happened to the expert film guy's film. I refuse to believe it was destroyed in the fall. Dude looked like he built that shit to last.
>Would see the remains of the TMZ guy
>But otherwise just like, innard shots till the walls close in
And he just kept cranking even as he was burning til he couldn't crank no more...
Would have been great. Could have even ended on a frame that was disturbing, just to show that "this was the last, horrible thing he saw before he died". now what that thing is, in its innards, I do not know. Maybe Jupe's cowboy hat or something lol
>They see that cowboy hat
>OJ says "Nope"
>Cut to credits
That's really the scene that made no sense. If they already had alien costumes and it was known in the area that that show was going on, why was it such a surprise that there was a UFO to Black Bucker Breaker? Wouldn't something like that be the talk of that relatively small town?
It wasn't known outside of that dudes family and OJ and his sister, and they weren't sharing info, so they couldn't corroborate their stories together. Jupe was preparing for his first show through the first half of the movie, and was unveiling the alien dolls and costumes at the show... where everyone then died.
vore scene was pretty horrible just in the bluntness of their imminent deaths
I never realized this movie would be such an intelligence filter, but here we are. There are legitimate large review channels complaining about not having their hands held.
>“the chimp side plot doesn’t make sense”
It quite clearly it plays a major part of Jupe’s motivation which caused the NOPE creature to inhabit the area as it’s territory in the first place
>”What does the shoe mean, it’s so random. Were the aliens controlling what was happening on set?”
It’s literally a random chance happening of something that seems perfect, paranormal, and holy during a massacre. It distracts Jupes and prevents him from absorbing the significance of the event.
>“But the ape looked in his eyes all of a sudden at the end of the massacre, shouldn’t he have killed him?! Or was the ape being controlled by the aliens?”
What fricking little green men are these clowns on about? The main reason the chimp didn’t go apeshit on Jupes is because Jupes was obeying the predators rules. He remained small, still, and quiet. Most importantly, he never really made eye contact due to the veil of the table cloth. An impenetrable veil existed between man and nature and in this case, man misunderstood the deeper context (seemingly all the “this movie sucks” audience and Jupes). He didn’t truly create eye contact with him and on the off chance that the “fist bump” did happen, the chimp would have pieced the veil out of curiosity. After that, Jupes would have died. But, that didn’t happen and Jupes took the wrong message from it all. He believed he had some natural or supernatural connection to nature and animals and thus this folly caused him to corral and feed a fricking NOPE predator until it was pissed and he violated its rules.
Extra funny points for the veil being brought back by the mauled woman’s coming off and her violating a predator’s rules again. What bum ass luck, you get eaten alive by two predators in one life time.
The monkey and Jupe's storyline was more interesting than the main characters. I think a lot of that for me had to do with Palmers character being annoying and unlikable to me. After the crowd scene and the regurgitation scene, the movie fell off for me and just started to drag.
So if “animal exploitation bad” is the subtext of this movie, why do the movie horse people get a pass?
If you treat the animals right it's okay, for example the horses on the set were mistreated and that's why they got mad.
The monkey was treated more like a pet despite the obvious danger it posed and there were no safety precautions
and fricking with some sort of a giant alien thing is the stupidest thing
But they were fricking with it, too.
>weird vore shit
I will now watch your movie.
If you guys didn't already realize. The alien is literally a jellyfish that flies through the air.
jellyfish don't fly or have eyes or brains
Actually, box jellyfish have true, functioning eyes as well as a nerve ring that coordinates pulsing movements and is apparently capable of some degree of visual processing and obstacle avoidance.
it's more than a jellyfish
why was it able to transform and turn itself inside out anyway? seems weird biologically
Basically a tactic to get people to look at it. The alien is heavily based off of SCP 312 almost word for word.
well it is some weird ass alien, maybe it's four dimensional or something
which one? in the film the jokey thing is a like a throwaway line, nothing resembling cultural erasure in the rest of the film, makes no sense at all
it's like that time Spike Lee said that in Do The Right Thing Sal was in the wrong even tho it's obvious the film doesn't portray it that way
Don't think too much about it. Maybe the Peele just likes Evangelion. Maybe he wanted to portrays the complete weirdness of an extraterrestrial lifeform by making it do unexplainable stuff. Maybe he just thought the saucer design was quite boring for the climax and he needed a way to slow the monster down.
In-universe you can always rationalize it as an intimidation tactic, you know, it makes itself bigger to stare down threats. Bit stupid however because it doesn't really do anything more dangerous in this form, unless maybe there's a stronger wind around it but it's hard to show.
i still dont know if the green shit was supposed to be an eye or a mouth
Looks like part of it's mouth apparatus. The eyes are inside the mouth.
Hah: the guy named OJ wears orange, and the girl named Emerald wears green.
>ywn be vacuum vored into a bouncy funhouse
>You see them get dragged up the vortex
>30-45 seconds straight of them getting peristalsis massaged shown (this YouTube clip is missing one of the shots)
And there could be another minute of this in the additional footage they shot.
someone post the frickin monkey scene
Daniel Kalluya is so fricking hot bros
these movies arent nothing worth threading about unless (your) a gay.
I liked the concept of a spooky cloud more honestly, but I'm glad hollywood is making original monsters again.
I have seen a lot of people say this is Keke Palmers best role and her acting, but I though she was one of the worst parts of the movie. What did you guys think?
was expecting a proper old school alien film, Think il watch one now, fire in the sky and signs is what to watch right?
>Monster is aggressive when you look at it
>Characters keep catching glimpses of it and it never bothers them
Only if you look into the "eye".
>black guy looks at the camera
>it’s Nopin’ time
So this is like a feature length version of Terror Toad?
Seeing the Power Rangers get swallowed whole like that really did scare the shit out of me as a kid. I never watched this episode again.
Pretty sure. Except the UFO needed a tentacle thing to pull people inside.
Nah. The only close up scene of people getting vored is the one posted in this thread. The rest of it is just people disappearing into tornados.
Now go away.
