Just AFTER watching it did it click: Bro those sounds were the horses, that Ricky fed to the alien, inside the Alien getting abducted before it crunched them.

It takes hours for a human to digest things. Jean Jacket ate them at about 5 and the blood scene was probably around 8 or 9, so that makes it even scarier. They were alive for about 3-4 hours before just being destroyed instantly. Same thing happened to the missing hikers and filmmakers

one of the things that haunted me was the way you could hear the people still screaming from the alien as it flies around. I was wondering if it's them still being held alive and stuck in there (which is a scarier idea to me) or if the alien is mimicking them? and then with the raining blood scene, i was picturing that the alien just killed them all at once because of the way the screams stopped right before the blood started. either way the design of the monster in this is super sick.

That scene was sad in many different ways, but also for Gordy. Because when Gordy calmed down after the balloons stopped popping, and he saw Ricky under the table, he signed to him "What happened family?". 😢 He didn't mean to hurt them and didn't even realize he did. And he saw them as his real family even though they were just acting and probably didn't feel that way about him. And then he was giving him the fist bump which for him was probably a loving/affectionate action. All in all a very disturbing, tragic, and sad scene. My mouth was open the whole time.

[@user-ze2mw6nh4y]

I’m so happy someone else caught this major key!!!! The balloons popping were literally what set him off into primitive and dangerous nature and then when the next balloon popped it grounded him back to his conditioned and domestic nature.

Like the fact that all that chaos was going on yet there is a shoe standing straight up with one perfect spot of blood on it. Why was that scary to me?

[@LukahnTheMan]

I can elaborate (literally); Both the shoe and the way the Dad died are both known as bad miracles. Examples are: If the father didn't look up and kept his head down he probably would've survived. But by chance he did and died The child and the chimp (can't remember names) The child only survived because he didn't look the chimp directly in his eyes (which everyone else did and they were mauled in the process). The thing stopping him from looking in the chimps eyes was the shoe which, by chance, was able to balance perfectly. The kid was so mesmerized by the shoe he didn't pay any attention to the chimp.

@@briacarter2349 the shoe was keeping Ricky alive if he had made eye contact with Gordy he would have be murdered to that also related with the alien if u look at it u die which was cool how they tied that together

[@raedaw766]

1) The shoe can also signify another criticism of the fascination we have with a “spectacle”, things were going ape-shit (no pun intended) but of all the least important things to worry about, the shoe caught Jupe’s attention and so he settled his gaze on it, most likely thinking “how the hell is it balancing?” while his costars were being mauled. This is also done again in the diner scene when Em, OJ, and Angel are talking and a bunch of kids are fighting each other in the background. Almost like Peele was betting we’d focus on it despite it not being relevant to the plot. 2) The shoe could also have been a way create the unease in the room/scene since in real life, after a traumatic event, our eyes are alerted to our surroundings. When I got into a pretty bad car accident a few years ago, a truck hit me on the drivers side, after the crunch of the windshield and my wrist breaking, the first thing I saw during my moment of shock was my pine tree air freshener and thinking “I don’t even like how this thing fucking smells”. It’s kind of weird how the brain works like that, which could explain why many people agree that the most disturbing-and ironically also being the least scary part since it’s not really shown and is left to the imagination -part was the Gordy sequence, because it felt too…real.

[@oddessydied]

Just like OJ was talking about “bad miracles” the shoe somehow standing up like that almost impossibly distracted the boy which caused him to not look the monkey in the eye probably being one of the reasons it didn’t kill him besides being quiet and somewhat already knowing him. I noticed when he died as an adult he was staring straight up at the alien/ufo. Even though not being eaten was pretty unavoidable his amazement by the creature cause him to stand there in awe not running away causing him to be eaten. So in fact “looking it in the eye” caused his demise in a sense

[@koalaimpala25]

Same

[@ashley-bq4bb]

So this is what I have to say to people who are confused on how the monkey storyline connects with the main story of the alien/ufo. I believe it was in the flashback scene when Otis Sr was talking about the horse, Jean Jacket, and said the line “some animals can’t be tamed”. He was talking about the horses, but this message applies to both the story of Gordy, and the alien. In the Gordy scene, after the monkey has killed everyone else, he sees Ricky hiding and approaches him, reaching his hand out for a fist bump. It was a wholesome sweet moment of connection between the two, before Gordy was killed. Steven Yeun’s character grows up and runs this Jupiter’s claim business of showing the alien to his audiences by luring it out with horses to eat. The way I see it.. because Ricky had that moment with the monkey (Gordy didn’t act violent towards Ricky) Ricky may have this desire to connect with the Alien and tame in the way he could’ve with Gordy. Or maybe he thinks he is invincible (no pun intended) and can maintain peace with violent animals or something idk. But the point is the monkey and the alien are connected because Ricky’s experiences with them are very similar. Gordy and the Alien were used for entertainment, and in the end it always goes terribly wrong with people being killed by these wild animals who could not be tamed.

i don’t know why people were so confused by this scene. if you give a minute of thought it’s pretty obvious how it relates to the rest of the movie. the movie is about how people exploit animals for entertainment and how they can hit a breaking point. the alien in nope was exploited by jupiter’s claim and fought back. gordy was exploited by the show and fought back. they’re the same story but one is real and the other is sci-fi.

[@ashley-bq4bb]

yes!! one of the main themes is “some animals can’t be tamed”. i think the boy connected with the monkey.. it was almost wholesome if you will. then the monkey was shot, the boy grew up, discovered this alien, and had this idea that maybe he could tame this animal and connect with it the way he almost did the monkey. but yeun’s character’s death along with the rest of his audience parallels what happened on set when he was a boy. some animals can’t be tamed.

[@robinurmum8738]

It has a really good meaning aswell because afterwards they guy felt like he was special since he survived the attack unlike the others but the real reason he survived is because there was cloth between both the monkeys eyes and his so he didn't look at him so the monkey didn't kill him and its just like how OJ found out that if you dont look at the alien it dosent find you threatening so he wasn't special and the only reason he lived was because of cloth and thats why later he trys to tame the alien because he thought he was special enough to do it

Nah, mediocre at best to me.

[@jadafleming1701]

The movie never explained how Ricky knew about the alien. It showed how he was traumatized by the monkey but they just went straight into him trying to reveal the alien to the crowd. Unless I missed a part🤷🏽‍♀️

[@pompeiisurvivor2502]

His presentation (reveal) to the crowd included a testimony about his first encounter with the UFO. He said over a microphone that he swore it actually happened.

[@JenkemWizard]

The shoe he has in the case with the blood drip on it, was vertically upright during the monkey scene. He saw it and after the ufo left everything including the monkey went back to normal. He’s been hunting them for a long time and knew OJ and Emerald had seen them too. Being neighbors and such. So many Easter eggs/foreshadowing in the movie!

[@juanguillen9409]

I agree, the scene was just so realistically done because of the POV shot of Ricky seeing the adults get beaten to death by the chimp. The screams and cries gave me the chills. It gave me like a childhood traumatic experience that I never witnessed.

[@Lebronjames0033]

So are we not abt to talk the barn scene..was a good fake out but still the theater was speechless

[@ultimatesportsmedicine4395]

Once the alien started growing taller i was like NOPEEEEE

[@Jcobar_inspects]

The way the chimp went after the old man was scary AF like that could be any of us if a pack of them wondering in the streets

[@Diogenes323]

i hated when all the screaming people in ufo suddenly and in unison stopped

[@agcaoiliproductions9580]

I literally, wanted to run out of the theatre when Gordy was staring me down. I remember what chimps are capable of, the actual “Nope.”

[@officiallyzap]

Most ppl say the alien eating ppl or the dropping blood on house was scariest, but personally i think this is the scariest because this is something that can acc happen irl, like those scenes meh sci fi stuff, but this monkey scene is j something that could happen in real like

[@palmer491]

[@ObamaMpreg]

the juxtaposition of what was supposed to be an innocent birthday party and the bloodied furniture + actors, and for the chimp’s violent rage being fueled by the colorful balloons is just-*chef’s kiss*

[@mufasa9454]

Wait was it floating? I thought it was standing up

[@michele3982]

For everyone who doesn’t know that scene was based in a true story about a family who bought a chimpanzee. The chimpanzee knew how to drive and even dress himself. But soon his parents died and the daughter was taking care of her, but then the chimpanzee got angry for some reason (I forgot) so she called her friend and he friend tried to stop the chimpanzee but all of the sudden the chimpanzee took all of his anger to her attacking her and ripping her face off and braking her nose the daughter called 911, the police shot the chimpanzee multiple times until they shot them in the head and he died. This case was in 2009 the girl is still alive to this day.

I have not seen the movie, but it seems interesting!

[@demarcuscousinsthe4th407]

NOPE, that definitely was not the scariest scene at all, not even by the slightest.

[@nickfilsinger5436]

Like the video Me: Nope 🤭🤭🤭

[@soviet_stikk]

For me, this scene is scarier than any horror movie ever made

[@biterface03]

As someone into marine biology, The god damn *Sky Cuttlefish* terrified me, that shit was like an *atmospheric cephalopod* of doom. It *shapeshifted,* it *hypnotizes* its prey, it *swims* thru the sky like water, & it sounds those terrifying “biblical” *trumpets of the apocalypse.* In concept that creature was HORRIFYING.

[@junetynf]

It was cute

[@jaygarcia8508]

I completely agree. The movie itself is not scary at all, but the scene with the monkey was probably the only truly chilling scene.

[@realgirlzzarenigerian2414]

I was in the theatres watching it and when I tell I was shaking😭

[@v9237]

Honestly I kinda wished the the alien monkeys in the horse barn were real! It added this strong sense of the unknown within the movie

[@dakotascaramazzo]

Super thrilling!

[@jgray1831]

I actually agree with you that this scene was THE scariest by a good amount. For me, it was because of when you see the opening, and the chimp looks right at the camera, I thought it was just an intro clip for “Monkeypaw productions” But then, you get to that scene again, after watching the monkey violently beat the girl and older man, with blood still dripping from his mouth and paws, he looks right at the camera, and realizes the Asian kid is hiding. The walk up of the chimp and stare down from right up close is horror, it is already a very unpredictable animal, but now it has a new potential victim. The only saving grace is that you know the kid survives because he is an adult in the movie. Gave me the shivers for sure

[@monkiaray9093]

The balloon must have scared him . And then after it was over the monkey was like oh theres my friend. . He remember . But it had to be the balloons . IDK.

[@stitchedmouthgirl]

I just saw this movie today. This scene scared the absolute sh!t out of me, and I’m a horror buff so I have seen some stuff. Also most of the chimp scene was cut up and done off camera, however it is still extremely graphic and disturbing. I almost started crying the cinema. Also Ricky speaks of the incident as if he wasn’t really there ((he does later say he was there but it’s very brief and overall he still talks as if he wasn’t there)) which might be his way of dealing with the trauma.

[@furionmax7824]

Two main reasons I saw this movie. I'm a fan of Jordan Peele and I'm a fan of Steven Yeun. If you don't know who Steven Yeun is, watch Invincible, he voices Mark/Invincible. And Steven Yeun played Jupe in this movie.

[@ashley-bq4bb]

he is my favorite actor! i am a big walking dead fan and glenn was my favorite character. i was lucky enough to meet steven back in 2018. he’s so amazing i can’t wait to see him in more stuff. nope is definitely one of my favorite projects of his.

[@furionmax7824]

@@ashley-bq4bb then you gotta watch Invincible. He's an amazing Voice Actor. Dude needs to go work for Funimation and do some anime roles. He'd be perfect for it. That's what Johnny Bosch did after he retired from being a Power Ranger and he's one of the most well known dub VAs in the business next to Sean Schemmel, and Chris Sabat.

[@Kurtsgo]

Jordan Peele has definitely shown the power of implicit violence in this film. Always obscured enough to let your imagination run wild and let you feel true terror. Also the umbrella effect during the rain storm + the “regurgitation” was chef’s kiss.
