I liked the thought out monster design. It was clear where the inspiration drew from. The comments saying the movie would've been better with traditional alien designs.... There's plenty of movies with those types of aliens, go watch them 😂

[@stringer2295]

The fact that it was a straight up alien movie but with unconventional themes and monsters, that’s what made it good

[@sammich908]

Looks like a bigger version of Calvin from Life

No, the immediate silence was.

[@rikorobinson]

Jordan Peele's approach to filmmaking is so damn refreshing. Well written Brand new IPs with interesting high concept plot elements. It's so satisfying to watch his films.

[@123haninhk]

I really like this movie. It’s crazy that some of the characters didn’t learn the lesson: you cannot tame wild animals especially for profit. People still haven’t learn from Jurassic Park.

[@rhetiq9989]

That’s the real tragedy of Jupe, he thought he had a special connection with animals after surviving Gordy but in reality he never did and it bit him in the ass with Jean Jacket after trying to make money off it. In the end, animals are animals and they should be treated with respect and not out of self-interest

[@saucevc8353]

Not just that, you also can't befriend them either. No ET the Extraterrestrial or How to Train Your Dragon bullcrap, non humans simply can't relate with us no matter how much we think we love them (domestic pets aside, and even then)

[@exceptionallife4768]

Slick play on words.... But that type of thing only works when.... The spectacle is content with being one... When the spectacle wakes up... Jean jacket...

[@live4life551]

Not every spectacle is a corrupted one if it's done right and humanely than yeah what happened to gordy was the example of a corrupt spectacle but riding and taming a horse (which is OJs family biz) or taking a documentary of an animal in the wild without it even knowing your there is the right kind

[@TheAdamShannon]

When I first watched the movie and discovered it’s plot it basically is Jurassic park with a living flying saucer instead of giant carnivorous birds resurrected from the Cretaceous period, if you go off the moral principle of the movie

[@daiymian7031]

The screams were really creepy and unsettling, but the scene where it was over the house and all of a sudden those screams STOPPED That was way worse !

[@duppydan6202]

Omg I was just about to comment that too! Such a crazy subconscious visual to include which shows why the aliens Jupe made look the way they do. After all he must have seen those cameras a ton while on set.

[@apenasumcoalamagico8638]

Pretty much everything around jupe is modeled after his trauma If you look at his workers before they all get eaten by JJ, they all use the same uniform as the chimp did

[@swacfan100]

I truly enjoyed the film, the monster design was very interesting. I liked Us but imo this was his best since Get Out. Damn good movie.

[@swacfan100]

@Hunter He just produced Candyman, he didn't direct it. Candyman was crap to me but to each his own. The original Candyman was better than the 2021 version.

[@giltyascharged]

the scene when hes in the barn.. and you see random shadows.. even tho it turns out to be kids.. such a great scene.. the suspense

[@bibbus3588]

I love how the alien while clearly inspired by sea life it can also look like a biblical angel just a swirl of flesh

[@smiffyoh7894]

Was really impressed by this movie. The digestion scene will stick with me forever!

[@creepykels]

I'll forever remember seing that scene for the first time. My friend and I just slowly looked at each other in the dark theater with our mouths hanging open xD

[@waffleauflauf4213]

3:06 I love that description so much. It's basically like JJ is doing the equivalent of when you "tut" or click with your mouth to get your cat to look up at you. It's trying to "pspsps" the people into looking at it. Freakin creepy and I love it

[@ThaMajesticWun]

FUN FACT: The sounds of the screams were overlaid sounds of Joy (like on a roller coaster) and sounds of Fear (almost also like on a roller coaster).

[@harleylaufeyson6136]

I love Jean Jacket's idea taken from Jellyfish given that its unlike most alien movies where it is the generic type of UFO where there are lights and sci-fi-ish sounds so compared to Nope, its like a new idea where we get from a specific animal. So applause to you Jordan as well as the Akita inspired shot and making Angel the down to Earth Pinoy character in a horror film, also making him survive the movie

[@miketrapper0464]

That’s what I was thinking of what it looks like!!! A jellyfish!!!

[@CGI_Andy]

This movie was definitely very scary. The scene with the monkey actually made me kind of scared of monkeys ngl.

[@bluemarsh7058]

Interesting note: the tarp Jupe uses over the horse cage has the same green colour and similar texture. The way it closes around the horse the same way JJ’s mouth does

[@francinebacone1455]

I noticed a visual square motif also. I associated it with the 4:3 aspect ratio of older media. I got the sense as I was watching that there is a lot of referencing of cinematic and screen media history. I enjoy easter egg type things and I like having symbolic associations to chew over and spew out my butt after I finish processing them. I missed the green association though. Still more to digest with this film. lol Thanks!

[@thequiet5727]

I don't care what people say Nope was Dope!

[@thequiet5727]

@Hunter haha I see what you did there

[@517sbf]

Yes indeed

[@xero37]

Scariest? Nope. The little alien kids in costume was creepier than the monster.

[@annegallagher4005]

I absolutely LOVED Nope, the creatures design that haunts you (for ever) was sublime! I even stopped the movie and went frame by frame to really enjoy its design to the fullest!

[@bio2189]

This movie was crazy in IMAX, and when I realized the opening credits were the insides of Jean Jacket, now overlapped with human silhouettes and screams, that really got me and it's one of those cinema experiences that'll stick with me forever, such a freaky scene I didn't even notice the horse cause I was so shook looking at the people being digested

[@G4br13lle]

loved this movie so much! i enjoy hearing peele break it down, too!

[@trippytimesjosh355]

As a believer/UAP experiencer.. this is probably my favorite fictional UFO/alien movie. I can tell Jordan pays attention to the current understandings in ufology making the craft organic.

[@nonmec]

When I first saw Nope, I thought the design was similar to a weather balloon. A reference to the UFO / weather balloon that crashed in Roswell, NM.

[@carlossuarez4702]

I’ve been waiting for this to be pointed out.

[@AChi__]

I don't know if this has ever been pointed out by anyone yet. I just noticed the massive symbolism displayed at 1:07 - 1:08: - The lampshade is a literal representation of Jeanjacket, in its shape and circular opening. - The lampshade in it's representation of Jeanjacket in that scene is directly aligned with the monkey, and that alignment depicts how later in the movie Jeanjacket just like the monkey is made into a moneymaking spectacle. Also, later in the movie, Jeanjacket equally just like the monkey violently turned the tables on his spectators who made eye contact with him/her/it by tapping into his/her/its true alpha predatory nature. * There's one more obvious symbolism in that scene that I've yet to figure out, and it's that upstanding shoe in the background. I do suspect that the shoe standing after all the mayhem is probably a symbolism that OJ inspite of witnessing and being a part of all the mayhem Jeanjacket exacted on everyone (OJ included) that OJ in the end remained standing against all odds like the shoe. Of course, this will mean that OJ never died (which goes against the generally accepted interpretation that OJ somehow died because of the "Out Yonder" sign/picture). On a side note, at 6:26 - 6:27 you'll see the shadow of someone get sucked up by Jeanjacket flying past behind Joop's head on the ground lol And at 0:16 OJ's hoodie has patches that look like eyes strategically placed to look like as if the back of OJ's hoodie is make unending eye contact with Jeanjacket while OJ is trying to lure Jeanjacket while riding his horse.

[@SnoopyQ.66]

I've just watched Nope today and only just noticed the lampshade's resemblance to the alien because of this video. Came to the comments to see if anyone else had made the connection. Well spotted.

[@silkyjohnson420]

It’s almost illegal how many times I’ve watched this movie

[@seanmonaghan827]

This movie rules, so glad I went and saw it in a theater

[@flarestriker2005]

Same here. The RPX theater worked well for it(Closest I can get to IMAX at the time), the sounds of the creature was so loud in there including the screams which made it sound like it is outside just waiting for us.

[@haddonfieldradio666]

Jordan Peele’s career is mirroring M. Night Shyamalan…Get Out is his Sixth Sense, Us is his Unbreakable and Nope is his Signs. Thematically, they are linked. The titles have weird similarities and structurally they are very similar…Just a thought…

[@R6SpeedRacer05]

Weather ballon

[@kingghidorable931]

This movie has unsettled me in a way I never thought I would again. I haven’t been creeped out by a movie like that since I was a kid

[@finleywarner1636]

Damn, I don’t think anyone asked for this but thank god we got it! Bless you, Rockstars 🙏

[@brmawe]

If anyone notice there's a slit at the middle of the "ufo". Specifically EVERYTIME someone looks at it the front of Jean Jacket is seen. ALSO during the scene where OJ is trying to help Ryder you can see Jj in the bikers reflection so in reverse its oj "looking up" in the sky catching Jean Jacket's attention. During that scene you can here a loud BOOM sound, specially what is happening that Jean Jacket is breaking the sound barrier similar to jets flying fast in the sky.

[@frankenviews4069]

A massive eye that consumes everything it sees. Ravenous. Unrelenting.

[@docdaytona108]

The offically acknowledged influence of ocean life like jellyfish just strengthens my speculation that the creature is from Jupiter, a gas giant, and lived afloat in the clouds, preying on other cloud-based life forms. How it got here…I’m still working on that part.

[@jpscientist23]

The part where it is from Jupiter is a good idea but I think there is more evidence to suggest that Jean Jacket is native to earth. I have seen the film 15 times now and see no real evidence that it is from anywhere else but more evidence that it is from Earth. Now that Jupe and Jupiter is a correlation is cool and I can’t dispute that connection but possibly since Jupiter is a gas giant it alludes to Jean Jacket dying to a gas?

[@docdaytona108]

@@jpscientist23 Maybe the helium was something of a Kryptonite to it? Maybe it was just a pressure overload for its fragile physiology? I just found it odd that the kid was named Jupiter of all things and the name of his amusement park was “Jupiter’s Claim.” As in, the thing was literally CLAIMING things from it.

[@jpscientist23]

@@docdaytona108 Yeah and the pressure change like that I think would limit Jean Jackets ability if entering the atmosphere like that and if there is no air in space how would it travel through space if it’s alive it most likely breathes something. But that is the best evidence I have heard that Jupiters Claim was Claiming Jean Jacket.

[@jpscientist23]

@Hunter And the argument here is that it is not from another planet and that it is not an alien. Maybe we will know more when the scientific manuscript comes out.

[@storiesinthedust]

i love stuff like this! i havent seen the movie bc lets be honest i am a WHIMP when it comes to horror, but i love hearing about all of the details that go into making a movie like this. i could watch bonus features for HOURRRRSS

[@elliot_grooves]

I love the detail where the film reels on the set cameras in the Gordy scene look like the faces and eyes of the alien costumes the kids wear later on

[@bweeb785]

love this movie more everytime i watch it

[@blueintx3910]

I found the scariest part of the whole movies was the chimpanzee. Probably because that was something that can & has happened irl.

[@CyberneticStreetrunner]

The Monster was also based off of the Angel from Evangelion called Sahaquiel, if you look at the Angel then The Monster you will see the influence

[@FoxUnitNell]

In later versions one transforms to the other while in the original anime they were all their own creatures.

[@reddragon7762]

Best quality to the movie for me was that it was advertised to play with our minds into thinking an alien movie, but it turns out it wasn't, but was still. An alien movie, not a movie with aliens.

[@samtrickett5993]

I know it doesn’t have anything to do with it but the creature when in sort of ufo mode always made me think of the bottom of a cowboy hat, the rim and the hole your head goes in. Maybe My brain is just reaching because of the ranch theme and stuff

[@sourkoyote]

Walked into this movie expected something similar to Signs, walked out satisfied that I was more close to Jaws. That sums up the movie.

[@spooker_0]

I keep seeing people say that Jean Jacket's eye is also it's mouth and I find it kind of funny that a lot of people don't just look at the surrounding area and turn their brightness up or something and see that there is light shining only from the lower part of the screen when we see the eye which is the same place the actual mouth (the hole) is. That's where the light is coming from and it seems pretty obvious to me if you look at those scenes, so how come people are still saying the green box eye is the mouth?

[@Hollycb12]

[@spooker_0]

[@revelare_xvii6269]

What makes Jean Jacket scarier is that it may not even be an alien, rather an ancient species of megafauna that’s been soaring Earth’s skies for millions of years.

[@bleachedout805]

Yeah I was thinking that as well. It was way to well adapted to earth's environment to merely be alien.

[@lukeyjukey]

I always thought Jean jacket looked like a jelly fish, I think that’s really cool I could tell. It just felt familiar

[@saucevc8353]

Found it funny how jellyfish don't actually have brains, they're unknowing and uncaring about the harm they cause. Sort of like how Jean Jacket (despite being far smarter than a jellyfish) is still nothing more than an animal operating on instinct, feeling nothing for and knowing little about its prey.

[@stephenbarringer235]

I have to admit I'm of two minds about this movie. As an SF horror action flick it's great, but as a "meditation on spectacle" I always have problems with stories whose final "message" is to tell the audience they should feel guilty for liking stories (q.v. Funny Games and The Magicians). It's like baking someone a birthday cake which says, "Birthday Cake Is Bad For You, and You Shouldn't Eat This".

Jordan Peele is the KING of Easter Eggs!!! You literally have to watch his movies over and over to catch MOST of them, because I guarantee some are still hidden in plain sight and we miss them. Nothing on the set of his movies are by mistake or chance. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jjjooppp]

I believe that when JJ unfurled to “eat” OJ, it wasn’t actually trying to eat him, but instead was trying to mate with him.

[@sllimmm_jim]

i really need to rewatch this movie, so good, but one thing thats been on my mind since the last time ive seen it was the part near the end where the alien does some sort of gesture with its eye/mouth towards the jupe balloon in the sky, i always thought that maybe this was also a symbol of the eye taking a picture, or multiple pictures of it, and although i know the alien is supposed to act like a wild animal as its connection to gordy implies, i first saw it in the trailer as a connection to cameras with the eye of course being the a lens-like circle shape, and this would also tie into the theme of spectacle, just as the siblings are trying the capture the alien, the alien is trying to capture them, effectively making the entire plot a spectacle in the aliens eyes

[@dr.braxygilkeycruises1460]
