i found NOPE so much more than the trailers gave, and I was worried that the recent trailers were giving too much away! I love that each of his films feel like he's getting more and more confident in his practice. I cannot wait for more.

[@rainesages]

The first "teaser" trailer was 100% the perfect trailer for people wanting to come into this movie being excited and horrified and wholly entertained. The second "feature" trailer imo showed too much of Peele's hand, but hopefully not so much that viewers not going in blind (like me) couldn't get a satisfying experience out of it

[@avigindratt7608]

People get distracted with twists and plot stuff which is at times divisive. I think Peele's mastery of filmmaking is his biggest strength. I noticed it with Key and Peele, their skits were always so well produced with great timing and visual talent. Even with cgi they were quite talented

It is a very heavy film and it's obvious that there is so much more than what we assume.

Really really enjoyed the movie. Its like coming up for air after a long time as someone who hasn't seen a movie in a long time other than marvel stuff very occasionally and nope was a really rewarding experience to watch as I put together the thematic and narrative core of the movie and all the bits that I thought were disconnected, come to gather to make a coherent narrative. What I initially thought by the end of the movie was that entertainment and human beings are capable of dehumanizing and detaching themselves from the reality of life thats turned into a spectacle and the cost spectacle has when not approached with humanity and making the trauma and horror therein commercialized and consumable, further feeding into that cycle while building up a hubris that convinces the viewer and the creator that they exist outside of it until its too late. A tale about the exploited and becoming the one who exploit others while imposing an imagined sense of control on the things out of reach and alien to us. Its a criticism of the media spectacle and a comment on how people are capable of detaching themselves from the spectacle. And The ultimate way of avoiding the wrath thats incurred by that hubris, being a refutation of the spectacle itself and refusing to partake in it. Witnessing it and truly understanding it, and choosing to say "Nope" with the greater understanding and escaping that cycle before it consumes you

Here’s the 1st two paragraphs: “A screaming comes across the sky. It has happened before but there is nothing to compare it to now. It is too late. The Evacuation proceeds but it’ll all theatre. There are no lights inside the cars. No light anywhere. Above him lift girders old as an iron queen, and glass somewhere far above that would let the light of day through. But it’s night. he’s afraid of the way the glass will fall-soon-it will be a spectacle: the fall of a palace. But coming down in total blackout, without one glint of light, only great invisible crashing.”

I like how they ended talking about genre. I didn't really pick up on the whole "spectacle" angle that Peele keeps talking about (at least not in the same metaphorical way he talks about it... I mean it's clear in the film, but didn't necessarily feel like the focus). My first thought when discussing it with the folks I saw it with was how it was an interesting mix of genres. It doesn't really fit neatly into any one genre. It's part horror, part heist, part documentary, part drama, part comedy. It's all of them at once. It was INTERESTING, which a lot of movies just... aren't. They'll get you your thrills, but they won't do something new that makes it feel unique when compared to others. That's what Peele does well. Get Out was interesting for how it spun horror with sci fi and a huge focus on social commentary, with a masterful mix of comedy thrown in (as all the best horror movies do; see, e.g., Evil Dead, Cabin in the Woods). Us was interesting in that it showed that new slasher films can still work without relying on older IPs (although I'll say that, for me, Us is the least interesting of his trio so far, just because it didn't play with genre as much). NOPE is great. It's memorable. In a sea of endless spinoffs and sameyness, a movie being memorable is just about the best accolade it can receive.

I’ll short cut it for you: He turned Instagram into a space alien.

[@sonicsnake44]

LOL

[@nyneegardner6235]

It's a pretty deep movie, actually. But I see why you say that.

[@Roccofan]

@@nyneegardner6235 This was better than his last movie, but not that deep. There wasn't very much character development.

[@bryb2644]

If you notice, there was not one single minority which was in control or represented a successful narrative in the film. Both horses and African Americans were both brought to America by Europeans. What did the chimp represent?

[@Roccofan]

@@bryb2644 What point are you trying to make?

[@fluriekfluriek2913]

I still think about the horror of “Nope”. Horror on a different level. Not necessarily more horrifying, but let’s just say the message was sent.

[@WillConley]

Jordan and the interviewer, before taping: Ay. Ay. You know the deal. Sound like a movie director. One hundred. I got you. Word.

[@Phatkatlewis]

KeKe was awesome in this movie!!!! One of her best yet!

[@soupy89x]

Great interview, appreciated all the thoughtful questions and answers

[@masquerader101]

Dude might be a film genius. I literally felt a complete loss of control while watching this, and that is perfect. Like we as the viewers are his puppets. Really great stuff.

[@TheRAH1]

Spectacular. Absolutely spectacular.

I am proud to see successful biracial people. Love to my people ❤️❤️❤️

[@sliceserve234]

my goodness he is intelligent, always such a pleasure to listen to an intelligent person hold forth.

[@gterrymed]

JUST ABOUT AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!!!! AN EXCELLENT MOVIE. and a lot of stuff is going on in it

[@wylieworldt.v7055]

I’m thinking/writing my horror,suspense thriller because of his great work. Hope to meet Mr Peele

[@CoratMcRed]

Honestly, if the sound design doesn't get something from the awards circuit, I am gonna be sad because that scene with the Star Lasso Experience is just so haunting.

[@callumheatherly994]

Jordan is such a great filmmaker, this movie maybe one of my favourite of his

[@TheMisslauren1234]

"if I see a box i'm gonna break it". ..yep

[@albertmendoza8330]

This guy has an amazing talent, hope to see more from him.

[@haighter100]

Just saw Nope! Loved it! Will see it again in IMAX.

[@snikrepak]

One of my favorite comedians, does a fantastic job

[@nguyenkhoa8678]

Peele is definately up there with great directors , his movies is very distinctive and very recognizable

[@SzTz100]

I saw the film a few days ago and initially wasn't sure if I liked it, however I have changed my mind after thinking about it. This film doesn't give you the answers, it forces you to think.

[@81i2b49cj]

I can't get over how immaculate Jordan's face is. Every blade of hair and skin
