daniel’s character was 1. simply an introverted man who doesn’t necessarily speak without reason to, i know of many men like this in the real world 2. someone who understood animals better than humans and how to communicate with them, thus why he treated his human peers almost like animals such as slapping his knee instead of calling out to keke and brandon in the house to get in the van (how he would signal a horse over), and not being able to efficiently communicate with the movie crew how to handle the horse in the beginning. he didn’t need to speak his thought process out loud to himself for the audience to be able to understand why he’s doing what he’s doing because a person like him wouldn’t do that in real life, only for the sake of a dumb viewer like logan who needs film themes handed to them on a silver plate because he can’t figure it out for himself

[@cowlgurl]

i think logan paul and many other people hyperfixating on the how and why of the shoe is proving its own point perfectly. people would rather pay attention to the shoe (an unexplainable and rare occurance) than the literal massacre being committed against the actors by the chimp (violence, exploitation, any shitty but unfortunately common occurance) side note, the irony of logan "Japanese forest" paul not understanding this fact isnt lost on me lmao

[@peacemaster8117]

But the movie itself focuses on the shoe instead of the massacre. The film is telling you "pay attention to the shoe" during that moment, and it's totally valid to then ask the director "hey, what was the point of the fucking shoe?". The point of Gordy going ape-shit is pretty self-explanatory and doesn't really need further investigation.

The shoe standing upright is a nod to the phrase “waiting for the other shoe to drop,” which means waiting for bad news or something bad to happen.

9:37 oh my god it's literally mentioned in the movie, *one of the first things we learn about Jupe* is that he played a cowboy in a famous movie as a child! Keke Palmers character literally points at the movie poster in his office and says "You were the kid sheriff?" The well that's used to take a picture of the alien is a direct reference to that movie. There's even a voice over the loudspeaker at the theme park that says "come take your picture in the well just like the kid sheriff!" as OJ walks by the well. The park itself is another example of Jupe being stuck in the past and creating his own spectacles, since he made an entire theme part centered around one of his prominent roles as a child. I'm convinced Jake Paul actually was on his phone for the whole movie

[@JJKAIJU]

I loved the idea of the UFO itself being the alien. I also like the idea of the alien having animalistic behaviors. No plan to wipe the humans into extinction and take the planet. It just kills to survive. The way it adapts to its surroundings was really cool, and I like that the characters pick up on it.

[@corvoattano7430]

i’m not tryna be controversial but i liked the movie until that. it totally made me lose interest. it’s interesting to see people enjoyed it though

[@rhetiq9989]

The thing that makes Jean Jacket special is that unlike other alien monsters it’s being treated like an actual animal. It kills not for the sake of killing and spreading senseless terror, but for the most mundane reason possible which is to survive. He really could be from anywhere not necessarily from space, but one thing that can’t be taken away from Jean Jacket is the fact that it’s an animal just like Gordy and the horses. It makes it feel much more grounded than most alien monsters

[@somethingfunny208]

it's probably not an alien actually. because 1. red blood and intestines made to break down enzymes from earth 2. it hunts based on eyes (with white sclera) which are very unique to terrestrial life 3. it's adapted to move using air and requires a certain amount of internal air pressure to survive

It's a giant space cuttlefish, Logan. Just because it can do all of those amazing things doesn't mean it's ever seen a balloon before. So when the balloon challenged its territory it ate it, and then it went POP. Overall I enjoyed the allusions back to the OG War of the Worlds. It wasn't mans' brains that saved them, it was their tiny germs. In this movie it was the space cuttlefish not knowing what a balloon is. *Sometimes we survive through dumb fucking luck.* Also Logan Paul attempting a horror movie dissertation makes for some great comedy. Thanks for the breakdown.

As for the part about it being an animal, that's also scary isn't it? The way this animal hunts, how it abducts people and lies motionless without being detected for centuries shows how scary it would be if it actually existed.

@@moshek7764 Something on the ground isn't unusual to it at all, but when it starts flying up into the air? That's when Jean Jacket notices it. After all, Jean Jacket itself is a giant flying creature, so it's not hard to think it assumed the balloon was another alien, and thus a threat.

[@theobsidiansimp8626]

6:45 There is a second interpretation here, that the shoe stands upright only in memory. In the Gordy Home museum, Jupe has kept that shoe in its case, upright, for years. Over time, the memory changed to match that of what he sells to his visitors. In other words, his obsession and monetization of spectacle leads to a distortion of reality. I think Peele intended both interpretations to be plausible. Cool guy, fellow Kubrick fan, and I like it. No I love it.

[@AlbertSirup]

yeah i think there's a good case to be made that all the Gordy scenes are from Jupe's memory rather than what literally happened (same with the fistbump)

[@TheGuindo]

yeah my read on it is that the shoe was standing up for just a second while he was looking at it, and it stood out in his mind so much that he remembers it as never falling down, because his attention was elsewhere in the moment that it actually fell. definitely seems like something where the memory changes in the process of the retelling.

That makes sense! Because I think when Jupe first tells his story, he says that Gordy went crazy because someone said the word jungle and Gordy flipped out as a result-but in the flashback, the balloon popping is what made Gordy go nuts 🤔 hopefully my memory is right on this one because it would further reiterate the fact that Jupe is an unreliable narrator.

[@leahmoore3226]

The reason why Jean Jacket had an aversion to the flags was because it learned to avoid them after it tried to eat that plastic horse that got stuck in its mouth. It's an animal, so it can learn to recognize patterns in order to know what is food or what is dangerous to it. In Jean Jacket's mind, it learned to associate flags with "not food, avoid". Then, during the final battle with OJ and Emerald it realized that they were using the flags to keep it from eating them so it learned to associate flags with "food" again, which is why it ate that giant balloon of Jupe and ultimately died.

[@conehead4133]

I'm pretty sure the monster didn't correct it's association of avoiding flags. Instead it attacked the balloon because it started flying and the creature presumed it was challenging it's turf not to mention the balloon also looked like a human and considering it wasn't capable of telling apart a real horse for a fake one it's likely the same happened for the big balloon.

[@napstablook8007]

The reason it attacked the balloon thing is because it challenged Jean jackets sense of being the alpha. Similar to the chimp. You can’t look in its eyes or you’re challenging it.

[@davidkonevky7372]

I think it didn't associate them with food again, it's just that flags and balloons are distinct things that an alien might not relate to each other

A small note of the alien’s hatred of kites and balloons, it could very well be that it thinks balloons, kites and velvety cloths look like itself, like many animals in real life seeing something that looks similar to itself will cause an immediate anxious reaction especially for predatory species, seeing this giant balloon or the tube men to the Alien may have looked like possible competition on its feeding ground hence why it would get so sporadic and violent at the sight of them

Having Logan Paul respond to this specific movie in this specific way may be one of the most clear 'proof of concept' 'proof of excution' accomplishment of Peele and the movie. It's almost too perfect. I would also say, like, fucking, while Peele is giving his audience a lot of credit and treating us as adults able to critically think and process stories on deeper levels - I did not feel like the themes explored and the methods, storytelling, and visuals used to explore them were at all inaccessible. It's also a great rewatch - almost every element is doing double work, but it's not like the theme wasn't hammered home again and again through a first viewing. Some of the conversations around this have a lot of the vibes of Annihiliation and how people had apparently never encountered a metaphor before - but stupider somehow. But I do love some unintended, unironic self-reads. So I'm living. Great vid on it!

[@kellyn_theodora]

Seriously... I went from thinking, "this is a clever, well-executed way of tying in several somewhat vague concepts into explicit, but not overly dumbed down entertainment" to "this is a perfectly executed psychological concept, provoking the viewer through mirroring the message based on whatever role we personally have in spectacle and exploitation". I gained that extra level of appreciation solely through Logan Paul's ironic response. This general blind spot of his paired with the particular points of the movie that irked him in detail is so fascinating to me. I'm not saying he has to like the movie or that he is a generally glib person. It's just crazy how that part of his brain that makes him the specific personality to have these traits also affect his ability to even know the reasoning involving the presence and relationship between these themes in the movie at all.

Someone pointed out that the masks of the alien costumes actually look like the sides of the cameras that were used to film Jupe's sitcom. Also! I believe the alien unfurling is actually a defense mechanism meant to make itself look bigger in order to scare anything it feels threatened by. It's a pretty common trait quite a few animals have. And I believe if I'm not mistake, during the showdown between OJ and Jean Jacket, when it unfurls, the green center of it actually looks like an old camera! The amount of detail in this movie is legitimately insane, and I'm glad to see it's been getting the recognition it deserves.

[@fairylesbyaintdve6536]

Yesss!!! Actually I read some interviews with the marine biologist that helped in creature design and apparently when peele reached out to people in the field one thing he was really adamant about wanting was a “square eye” -like an old camera!!!!!!!! and looking for a possible angle to take from nature with that. The marine biologist basically reached back out and talked about how octopus eyes are kind of square-ish and they could build from there which they did. Such a cool process

First hour was so insanely slow as well, I feel like Nope was very poor in comparison to the previous title. Us was very well done, with a great twist and everything wraps itself up so the audience isn’t left with questions that crucial in understanding the message. Nope feels all over the place, and I feel like Peele is way too good for you guys to excuse some obvious mistakes. I think I’m going to make a video on this, because all of the film critics I love seem to be giving this movie a pass on things they tear apart on other movies.

It was all so eerie that their cries for help was a warning sign to how close the being was. Those scenes are burned into my mind in the best of ways. Overall the movie was spectacular, and Daniel Kaluuya played his part wonderfully

My friend ruined the movie by giving me the biggest red herring before I went to go see this movie. He just said "oh just wait until you found out the UFO is a giant cowboy hat, it will make you think about the message". He knew that I look way too far into Jordan Peele's movies and so I took this as the "ohhh I get it moment" but that never happened, and I was extremely confused if I missed a scene in the movie. Afterwards I talked to my friend about the movie, and he mentioned he was just messing with me the entire time.

Now lets analyse Logan's opinion shall we: The part were he says its not hard to conceptualize something disturbing(like the chimp and the UFO)but its hard to tie it to the plot and they did it badly-PERSONAL OPINION,I can competely see what he's saying here.OJ saying the UFO is an animal and should be treated has such comes for little to no forshading on the part of the UFO itself and it not attacking you if you dont look at it comes out of nowhere,I know he used horse training to realize that bit he had no reason to believe that it would work specially because in nature that sometimes work and sometimes doenst,that plot later forced Peele to transform the UFO to get rid of the weakness. 2-The coin and the key on the horse-He's wrong on the coin,it was explained,I also dont understand the meaning of the key when we see things falling out and OJ Senior death is explained later. 3-Shoe thing-Not even an argument,its a question 4-TMZ guy,absolutely correct.He's voice didnt have to be deep and robotic.I get that he was trying to dehumanize him because its supposed to represent humanity and the movie is about exploitation and the dark side of hollywood but Angel and the camera guy make for a more compeling plot point than this guy and people only be lying if they say they didnt taught he was an important person,completely dissapointed when he pointed the camera to Em 5-The girl that got mauled-There needs no explaining,she's there because she's Jupe friend and after getting attacked by a Chimp she wears a shirt that has her face before the attacking,tying to the theme of everyone knows what Hollywood does to people but everyone want in:CJ and Em do to nepotism,Angel because he's just a normal guy and even Jupe and this girl that even after a traumating experience still relieve their moment in the spotlight 6-Its about Jupe-This is easily missed by someone,not blaming him.I bet you most people dont know why Jupe did what he did without seeign a YT video explaining it.I went to see it with 10 people and none of them made the connects with the veil and the eyes nand the rest. 7-Horse title cards-Agree,Peele took that from a diferent movie and the movie would be the same without it 8 9 10 Completely agree with all of them So,all set and done he does have some good points and some bad points which translates to someones opinion after watching a movie they didnt like without puting so much taught into it.

It isn't about the incredible physics at play that allowed this to happen. It isn't about believing in miracles. It's about looking at something "remarkable" in the face of something horrific. Jupe saw the shoe and was momentarily distracted from Gordy's rampage. He saw this rare occurrence and believed it to have more meaning than just "chance event that happened because of something terrible".

[@billbill6094]

Daniel Kaluuya's character being quiet and reserved was the point, he's painted himself as an animal of prey, and can't look at the hollywood people in the eye, as they're predatory animals. That is not at all them making him "act poorly" In the same way, Jean Jacket sees eye contact as a threat and when viewing eyes will lash out to protect itself. Just the way OJ's horse did. Here we begin to mix metaphors a bit, as while JJ is averse to eye contact as a prey animal would be, it also behaves like a predator, too headstrong and unpredictable to be "tamed." However, when it begins to view OJ as a threat, it goes into a defense mechanism, those quick green flashes from its eye. Or its "lens' rather, taking still shots of a black man on a horse, exactly like OJ's ancestor who was in the first motion picture in human history. None of it is without meaning. Oh and the balloon used to kill JJ wasn't just any cowboy, it was Jupe. That's why he had that theme park, it was based on the show he was on immediately following Gordy's Home.

[@aaronlesiacsek600]

Thematically, the 2 stories about the ufo and the chimpanzee align perfectly. My only gripe is that the 2 stories never tied together on the overall story. But like you said, it's more about the themes. I just felt like I was watching 2 separate journeys that had a similar threat in common. The chimp story was only told to make sense of the ufo.

I think Jupe was kinda what tied the 2 stories together since he was the kid for the Gordy incident and then also around for Jean Jacket and it was the balloon in his park that ended up being used to kill the alien.

[@HowFromTwitter]

Yeah pretty much all of Logan's issues with this movie was him just being oblivious and dumb. His first "problem" is just... like did you even WATCH the fucking movie lol. It's very obvious why shit was rocketing from the sky by the time you get to the scene where Jean Jacket expels the human remains on the house. Even disregarding that it's still a small piece of metal hitting the most vulnerable part of a human head at high speed. I don't find it hard to believe that it'd punch a hole in the head and into the brain. Another point he made that was pretty dumb was his last, the one with "how is this alien so biologically advanced yet it's basically a dumb animal?". Because having an advanced and intricate biology doesn't mean you're smart, like what? It's really the same thing with the clip displayed right after this at 10:59. Being highly sophisticated in field A doesn't automatically mean you will be in field B. Consider a jellyfish, the animal that heavily inspired Jean Jacket's creation. It's an extremely energy-efficient animal with a complex and intricate biology, but according to Logan this should mean that Jellyfish are smart and capable of advanced thought beyond basic instincts. No lol.

Great acting, interesting themes, and though I didn't get all of them at the time (partially willing to blame on the audio at the theater not being great at picking up some of the quieter dialogue) the explanations I've seen have made good sense, and much like Godzilla King of the Monsters, Nope managed to make me paranoid about clouds again.

Also the shoe thing makes sense when you look at it as Jupe experiencing trauma (bad wording I know). If you speak to victims of violent trauma you'll notice they'll usually be able to tell you in quite some detail about some benign object that caught their attention. It's a way for the brain to handle and process this experience. Im deathly afraid of monkeys and the scene with Gordy was extremely triggering for me, but my focus was immediately drawn to the shoe, to the point that I missed a lot of what happened during the scene. I think Jupe had a similar experience, this one in a million thing happened and he fixated on it because it was helping to distract him. I think another good example is when he describes what happened but through the SNL sketch. Instead of actually say "the ape with crazy and killed people" he talks about the sketch and then assigna Gordys behaviour (something extremely traumatic) to an actor (something mentally safe) and say he "was killing it, going insane". In that scene he IS talking about Gordy, but through a different, less traumatic experience. Like how he experienced the attack, but only perceived it through the distraction of the shoe, making it feel safe. How Gordy looked at him, but through a table cloth, obscuring his eyes and saving him from being attacked

Plus, even if the government could catch it without anyone getting hurt, the alien would have probably eaten more people by the time government forces arrived. 2) They didn’t need Jean Jacket to stay alive for studying since there are probably more members of its species around the world. They just needed to raise awareness of the species’ existence on Earth.

The plan was initially just to document JJ, not to kill him. However, the TMZ guy showing up threw a wrench in the whole operation which lead to the whole thing backfiring and eventually to the need to kill JJ

I thought the shoe was a “bad miracle” something that was impossible and only happened because of a tragedy

The good thing about a movie is that you can watch it over and over again.
