i guess Peele wanted to raise stakes? i didn't get it, on Wiki it's told as he was overwhelmed by the sight of the thing and gave up i guess?
He wanted to sacrifice himself to try and film the inside of it. He said they deserved to take all the glory, and started reeling his camera before being pulled in.
Last minute writing to create tension.
Seriously why did they need the TMZ guy? Because the sister needed a GETAWAY vehicle that had plot issues. They couldn't explain it as just another wandering around. Get some butthole you hate on a bike to die and bam, insta bike for the climax to ride off on
Not exactly, it's more about (without spoiling) the subjugation of species and a large element of the story is an incident where a chimpanzee on a sitcom chimps out and murders the whities and spares the minority.
I hope you’re not getting baited by that race bait. The scene has nothing to do with that.
Also, the documentary maker was experiencing a synthesis of art, artist, and subject. If you’re an artist or have studied art history, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you’ve seen love death and robots he pulled a Zima Blue. That’s all it was, the ultimate moment of synergy that became holy to him that was art in its purest form. Yes, it’s stupid to a lot of people, but to a few particular great artists it’s the moment they’ve waited for their entire life.
Hell, if you want an even simpler example…Malcom in the middle. When Hal made the painting in the garage and then it fell apart and he just moved on like he didn’t give a frick about art anymore. He got it all out and had the synergy moment with the piece, it became a sublime connection not meant for consumption and not even meant for the viewer if the episode in a meta way (because it was never shown). Going back to Nope, this is why he said “We don’t deserve the perfect shot” or something similar.
Yes but it wasn't intended as a racial thing, when the script was written the role of Jupe was reserved for Jesse Plemons who wasn't available later because of schedule conflicts or something
the monke sequence is a parallel to the UFO and it spares Jupe to set up a motivation for him later to do the show (he didn't learn shit from the encounter because the monkey acted friendly around him so now he think he can't handle any unusual wild shit including some sort of UFO)

Damn. I actually liked Steven Yuen in that role, but Jesse would have done a really good job with it too. Hate to say it, but I wish that casting stuck.
Also it would shut up the people that keep stating the fake news about Jordan Peele swearing to never hire a white actor.
I swear /misc/ would be more respected as a board if they didn’t go full moron all the time.
The people that die in the movie are whites and an asian that is trusting like a white. All of the black or other minority characters are wise and distrustful enough to not fall victim to a discerning force. I think it's untruthful to say there is no racial element to the film. Hence "Nope" a thing said by minorities because they are more wary of situational danger and respond accordingly.

Was he moronic?
Just so I'm not derailing. I think his character is just poorly written. He just seems like an edgelord insert.

The Armond White review of this was a miss for him.
OJ is a common name, he was reaching really fricking hard by saying it's a reference to OJ Simpson. This doesn't even make any sense in the context of the film, it adds nothing. The main character is nothing like OJ Simpson nor does any situation related to OJ Simpsons happens.

>nothing like OJ Simpson
I disagree. If they didn't get the ufo on footage what would people say? They already thought he was crazy from what happened to his father. Getting a capture of something that is palatable and believable to the masses is a main point of the film. Simpson had a trial by media, much like the protagonist. >Bronco

It's a literal description of the scene. The chimp kills the whites and tries to fist bump the asian.
Not watched it, are the aliens a metaphor for white slavers aquiring blacks like during the slave trade?

You are a literal moron and obsessed with race. Jordan Peele makes one movie about race and now he lives in chud’s heads rent free.

Are you people being serious?
I'm /misc/-er than everyone in this thread
the scene had nothing to do with race
I feel like at some point the angelic stuff was going to be more developed and his death would make more sense in terms of seeing something eternal, but they decided to go with the "sky jaws" instead
I took it as a cinematographer, who liked filming animals fighting, was dying and wanted one last amazing shot. Kinda came off dumb since it lead to all the other film being destroyed. Love the crow so hearing that dudes voice always made me happy.
I never catched how all the film was destroyed. For sure the one he was carrying but not the one angel was to keep.
Anyway anyone wants to speculate thematically what happens next and realistically what could happen
>space pussy spares OJ and Angel even though it's right over them just because they don't look up >OJ decides to sacrifice himself for Keke Palmer instead of just allowing her to walk away and not look at it
A lot of dumb choices were made at the end of the movie. Like the biker, he just showed up for some third act drama and so she could get a bike
Just got back from watching it with the family, pretty good but I still didnt understand the reasoning behind the shoe standing straight up. Also probably the closest we'll get to an adaptation of SCP-312.
it literally does the same thing mentioned in 312's file. So the creature concept was not jordan peele's but I still like how he made it his own thing, it was better than the jellyfish.
There is so many objects that are actually monsters that eat people in the SCP foundation I can only assume in that universe everything you touch potentially may grow teeth and eat you.
Also what the frick was the point of taking the picture of the monster when they ended up killing it anyway? Would it's massive corpse not be enough evidence?
exactly
if this wasn't hanging over your head the entire time then you aren't a UFOgay
it's analogous to the "cops show up at the end and kill the protagonist" ending subversion from Get Out
The only stuff that made it out intact were small things like keys and coins. He even made note of the broken wheel chair on their roof. What chance did the film have at all. Film is already hard to preserve in a stable environment
the only scene with any racial element was when they were trying to do the commercial on a green screen and the one white person says "OJ?"
as in "OJ like OJ Simpson? I'm racist so that's the first thing I think of"
it was absent from the rest of the film
Her character commenting on his wasn’t to imply she was racist. It’s just an unfortunate name to have now, sort of like having the name Adolf. My theater cracked up at it.
And if my memory serves, she didn’t say “OJ Simpson”, just “OJ” while making a face.
I actually agree with you that it wasn't trying to imply that she was racist, but I still think that line (and the scene altogether) carried an intentional undertone of racial awkwardness. but that's just realism, it would be wrong for there not to be racial awkwardness in that kind of scene
I’m a black dude and didn’t sense a single ounce of racial awkwardness, just normal awkwardness. But we clearly perceived it differently and that’s fine.
Maybe I'm hypersensitive to that kind of thing because /misc/gay.

C.H.U.D., acronym for "cannibalistic humanoid underground dwellers", it's an 80s horror movie about humanoid monsters that live underneath NYC. you can see a VHS box for C.H.U.D. in the opening of Jordan Peele's last film, Us, which I'm sure is why anon deployed that term

Why don’t you go back to reddt?

Angel saw him taking pills, so I'm pretty sure he was dying.
Easily the worst writing of the movie. The dude just straight up suicided.
mostly because he was just underdeveloped, he was a one note "woahhhh... cinema over everything duddee...." insane director
I feel like at some point the angelic stuff was going to be more developed and his death would make more sense in terms of seeing something eternal, but they decided to go with the "sky jaws" instead
Is this a movie for Kendrick Lamar fans?

I assume they make money from the pics and then once the world knows the military kills it. Like gordy.
wasn't it dead at the end?
There wasn't anything that said Jean Jacket was the only one of its kind on earth
They show the picture on Oprah and that gets a frickton more people trying to find others like it killed

Yes, Jordan Peele is moronic

you are moronic, yes.
Just got back from watching it with the family, pretty good but I still didnt understand the reasoning behind the shoe standing straight up. Also probably the closest we'll get to an adaptation of SCP-312.

Hmmmmmm
it literally does the same thing mentioned in 312's file. So the creature concept was not jordan peele's but I still like how he made it his own thing, it was better than the jellyfish.

i really don't get why he did it.
Also what the frick was the point of taking the picture of the monster when they ended up killing it anyway? Would it's massive corpse not be enough evidence?
It's very useful to have a photo of it attacking something so that they can study it's behavior.
They probably will get more fame and recognition by showing not just the corpse but also how it looks in action.
What corpse? It’s just a deflated weather ballon 🙂

He wanted the moneyshot and cranked to it one last time since he was dying anyways
The lighting was shit
he wanted the best shot you would ever get - being eaten by an alien. how do so many ppl not understand this? he was always pursuing the impossible.
I understand it very well. The mawshot is incredibly important.
>wanted to get the best shot
>doesn't get it because he was eaten and the footage was destroyed
had to try
What was the plan? The footage would just get swept up with him no matter how he came at it. They saw how the monster worked multiple times
Footage was encased in strong metallic reels. The idea was it would fall back to ground intact.
The only stuff that made it out intact were small things like keys and coins. He even made note of the broken wheel chair on their roof. What chance did the film have at all. Film is already hard to preserve in a stable environment

He was implied to use lots of drugs and was dying anyways
he seemed nihilistic about his own safety. I didn't pick up on the drug references but maybe there was more about that in the 90 minutes that got cut
