The best interpretation I've seen of the shoe standing up is that the flashback sequence is actually a memory from the perspective of Ricky. The shoe was not actually standing up in the actual event, but Ricky's memory of the event is incorporating the image of the shoe on display from his collection. In short, the shoe is standing up in his memory of the event because of position he's displaying it in his collection, not the other way around.

Additionally, I'm sure there's deeper symbolism here in the imagery of the shoe, such as the reoccurring theme of exploitation for profit (in this case, specifically the exploitation of tragedy), but I don't believe the shoe standing on edge is supposed to be literal (i.e. some sort of supernatural force), but instead an image incorporated into a memory.

I believe the shoe was a freak accident, a “bad miracle” like they say in the film. Similar to flipping a coin and how low the possibility is of it landing on the outside edge and standing up. Seeing the show like that distract jupe and doesn’t look Gordy in the eye triggering his aggression. The problem with that is he now possibly thinks he has a connection or ability to work with animals. He raises the stakes with the alien and working with his actual family, this time actually fucking around and finding out. There’s also the phrase “waiting for the other shoe to drop”. He’s been waiting for the other shoe to drop his whole life after surviving the Gordy incident. He literally still had the shoe and has it standing up the same way. The shoe finally drops as he gets wrecked by the monster, in search of trying to create spectacle

I think it’s important that OJ is nervous about making eye contact with the film crew at the beginning. He also views these directors/producers/writers as predators, the film industry as full of people that want to exploit their crew, exploit tragedy, and exploit animals.

"Don't feed the animals" These signs are at zoos and national parks because it can change the animals' behavior. Ricky was feeding Jean Jacket and that is why it was staying in the area. OJ and Emerald used a fake horse to try and get a picture. Jean Jacket was hurt by this so when Ricky tried to draw Jean Jacket out it attacks not the horse, but the people. Sharks have been known to do this. In the Red Sea people were hand feeding sharks for entertainment. When people showed up without food they attacked the people because they got used to being fed when they were around. We shouldn't mess with nature. We change its behavior. They all assume it was an alien space craft (so did we) but it was a natural creature and that was the mistake. I don't think it was alien. These creatures could be around but they stay hidden in the clouds. Jean Jacket changed its behavior because it was being fed. Don't feed the animals.

Great take. I thought it was interesting that Oj was so quick to name the monster Jean Jacket. The same name of the horse that was “untrainable”. I saw the movie twice and in the second go round, I noticed how quick he was to name it that. In that scene, they are all wondering what to name it…Oj immediately chimes in with “Jean Jacket”

I posted this before but I think the shoes standing up was a reference to the idiom, “waiting for the other shoe to drop.” This means, waiting for the inevitable to happened, especially one that is not desirable. I say this because Jup survives the first animal attack and it was a “bad miracle”, but he won’t survive the next one.

To me, I feel the shoe represented a presence of something supernatural right there in that moment. Jup felt that he had been saved by something in that moment considering most people were either killed or terribly injured. He thought that he had a special relationship with Gordy and in turn figured he’d test his luck with the UFO, fully expecting to be saved because he was in the past.

I think the shoe was floating because Jupe is recalling the incident and he has the shoe framed just like that in his room. He can’t even remember the position the shoe was in when he took it because he’s just become so accustomed to profiting off of it by showing it as if it’s an item in a museum. That’s my interpretation. All he sees is profit now, not the true reality of the incident.

@@jase276 Jupe is definitely traumatized but at the end of the day, it’s definitely about the profit for him. what Peele was trying to say is the fact that we as a society seem to be so desensitized to violence because those types of incidents fascinate us. That’s why all these true crime and serial killer documentaries do so well. Jupe was definitely in it for the spectacle. That’s why he even had the UFO on the back of his jacket.

My interpretation is the shoe was a amazing lucky coincidence that Jupe interpreted as a sign he was "chosen" and special; when he's talking to himself at the beginning of the "family live show" he's says to himself he was chosen. Jupe didn't realize failing to make eye contact with gordie was the reason he survived, and this misunderstanding is why he believed he could tame Jean Jacket.

That picture in the well wasn't the only thing they got, though I can see how the movie left that impression. If you track the film cameras and their film canisters, the footage survives. They had two hand crank cameras. An imax one and the smaller one. When the cinematographer goes to get the impossible shot he takes the smaller one. And continues to film for as long as he physically can, knowing that the footage will survive. We later see the film canister of this smaller camera rolling down the hill. I imagine they'll eventually collect all the footage they got and release a documentary of sorts like the one the cinematographer was in the middle of cutting. The only thing I wish the movie would have done was have their footage playing during the credits or something. It would end with stop motion frame that the sister got from the well, reminiscent of the frames made to film her greatX 3 grandpa

Simply another reason Jordan Peele could’ve put something weird like a floating shoe there is to prove his point. That’s the main question a lot of people have. What’s up with the shoe? And some people are mad and even upset with this movie for not giving that answer. I think it just proves how humans get mad and upset and don’t like something anymore if they don’t understand the spectacle that’s in front of them.

My take on the shoe after seeing Nope a 3rd time: Jupe has that shoe on display in his office, standing upright in a glass frame. I believe he is so used to staring at that shoe that his memory has been slightly altered. He probably remembers seeing the bloody shoe but its been 30 years, so his recollection is biased. After all, we see Jupes point of view from under the table, and the “actual” event shown through the TV camera lens.

Everyone seems to have missed the conversation on set being had about space travel, the Apollo astronaut portrait on set, and the fact that 40 chimps were trained (and 27 killed?) by NASA for space flight. There is certainly symbolism behind the standing shoe as a "bad miracle" and a "statistical anomaly", but the chimp species got their revenge in this case. These "sub-human" apes were abused, just like human slaves. It really was "one small step for man", but was it really "one giant leap for man kind"? It gets you thinking...an upright blood stained white and blue shoe.....red....white...and blue. Upright just like a docked Apollo rocket. Peele had great fun with this.

Keke Palmer says something along the lines of “I’m a singer, dancer and I make a really good grilled cheese, so if you need crafty, holla at me!” “Crafty” is like a department in the industry that’s there during the shooting and sometimes the rigging. They provide food, drinks, snacks etc, to the crew during the day. And let me tell you! They do a great job and are sometimes under appreciated. It was cool seeing them get a shoutout in a huge movie like this.

My initial thought was that the shoe had something to do with ruby/golden slippers. There seem to be a number of references to Wizard of Oz throughout the film, from the broadcast interview where the woman talks about tapping her feet together, to the abduction shots resembling the twister, to Emerald’s name recalling the city. If that’s true, I’m not sure exactly what it means, although the ruby slippers in Oz did appear after a freak accident / miracle where something fell out of the sky and killed someone, and those shoes ended up saving the protagonist (both themes echoed in the events of Nope.) Wizard of Oz is also an interesting thematic reference since Nope deals a lot with film history (and its history of exploitation), and WoO apparently exploited its actors (teen Judy Garland apparently received adrenaline shots and barbiturates to help with the ridiculous hours, and the dog playing Toto was stepped on on set.)

Bear with me here: I think the shoe is the entire driver of the plot post-Gordy. When Gordy spared Jupe's life, he wasn't able to explain it, but had to think he was special on some level, perhaps even more important than his co-stars. This is of course juxtaposed to the shoe, which is seemingly being "pulled into the sky" for no rational reason while all this is happening. Jupe creates a correlation between Gordy's outburst and this seemingly supernatural occurance, even if he can't explain it. Fast forward to when Jean Jacket takes his first horse and Jupe sees it. He's suddenly experiencing a similar phenomenon to what happened to the shoe. It's not a stretch of the imagination for Jupe to assume that this alien was the same force that acted on the shoe, perhaps compelled Gordy to become violent (consider the effect Jean Jacket has on the horses), and most importantly, spare his life because he is "special". We as the audience know that whatever acted on the shoe had nothing to do with Jean Jacket, but in Jupe's mind he has suddenly confronted his destiny of being the first person to build a relationship with an alien species. In his narrative, his entire life, and the reason he was spared, was all culminating with this encounter.

That’s not necessarily true. She may have wanted to get the shot, but OJ was doing it because it’ll prove his good at something. Remember the flashback when his dad says “Some animals can’t be trained” it’s referring to OJ as well, he sucks at his job, he’s nervous, anxious, he doesn’t have the confidence that his dad or Emerald has. Finding the alien will prove that he is worth something. He is the one that points out there is an alien in the first place as well.

@@joshuaphiliphinrichs8025 I kind of feel like you're projecting. Jordan and both actors explained in several interviews what I said here about the characters. I didn't make that up. OJ only wanted to preserve his father's legacy by keeping the ranch. He wasn't bad at his job, it's quite the contrary. The industry changed to where its disrespect of animals meant they'd prefer to use CGI than live animals with trainers. Trainers are a dying breed, an archaic technology, just like OJ's phone. EM was interested in fame and fortune from the beginning, profiting from the spectacle, the same mistake as Jupe. She's the reason they even go down this road. It's only because of OJ's experience and understanding of animal nature that the survivors survive.

OJ also knew it wasn’t a bad idea even after finding out the TRUTH about the “UFO” He still knew he needed to take a chance to atleast say that he tried. The Ranch and his Company was going bankrupt and he was flat on his ass when it came to having a job. Em might’ve led OJ into this but there are many factors that didn’t give him much of a choice rather to try.

@@johnstone2029 I think it's one of the weakest films he made. Could of been great but I think it just misses on some aspects and lets you feeling like you wasted your time. You could say this was the decision he made for the movie but them having to see the alien like 8 times before being able to film it because camera as bug on lense, we put bags on camera because it was raining yesterday, ran out of tape on physical camera at the last second. Like the entire reason they have to keep coming back is all about bad coincidences. Them not being able to get a shot of it until the end of the movie is just unrealistic with all the chances they got and the range at which it affects electronics. Now once again, you might say it's part of the movie direction and it shows everything's a "bad miracle" like he says in the movie but it still doesn't justify it in my opinion, it was just plain bad. The way they made characters always come back to the alien was just stretched and didn't feel enjoyable to watch at all. I just think this could of been a "great" movie but ended up being "good". I'm just disappointed really, so much potential just to have a gimmicky plot about wanting to film it yet never actually trying to fucking film it. Like the electric cameras where literally useless by the end of the movie even if that was half of the movies initial plot. The tech guy confirmed even if something fried the camera's they where far enough apart for one of the 2 to be on that way one would alway be on. That rule was followed and one of the 2 cameras was always on even during alien appearances. Half way threw the movie when they ran out of stupid reasons for the camera not having picked up the alien apperance they said "fuck it" and decided that now when the alien came both cameras stopped working and they needed a mechanical camera. Like the rule of 1 of the 2 cameras was literally thrown out the window just to get an extra 30 min of screen time. 😑

The other meaning behind Gordy not attacking Ricky is that he sees him as an equal. It's clear that Ricky as an Asian American kid in a white family on a sitcom is going to be played for laughs, more than taken seriously, which is exactly the same thing as Gordy. Gordy recognizes Ricky as another victim of the system - of Hollywood otherizing him. It's another example of the overall theme of exploitation. But Ricky survives and tries to get even further in Hollywood. He has another successful show, but it's clear that it didn't go beyond that, once he grew up. He then uses the alien as a means of exploitation, to try to further his career in a way. But the alien winds up killing him because he doesn't know his place. He didn't just keep his head down and try to survive. He wanted more. This clearly connects with the Haywoods storyline as well. But - also him not knowing his place (or Hollywood/alien not letting him thrive as a celebrity) is juxtaposed with Gordy's legacy. Although what happened to Gordy is a tragedy, it winds up being played for laughs, used as means of entertainment / exploitation. Because that's all he was - a source of entertainment, a joke. The other characters in this movie want to go beyond being sidelined, but we never see them succeed at that endeavor. Maybe that happens in the end, but we don't get to see it.

I thought the shoe was related to the saying “waiting for the other shoe to drop”… I had an old relative that used to say it, she lived in New York. Evidently a long time ago, imagine living under someone’s apartment. Linearly speaking… when they go to bed they take their shoes off, you hear the first shoe, and it’s like you’re sitting their knowing the next shoe is going to happen. I felt like it was symbolic for Jupe knowing the outcome of what was about to happen. Nonetheless I could be wrong but hey, definitely interesting. Hell of a movie.

I actually don't think the shoe was floating at all when the event happened. We are just seeing Jupe's memories and he doesn't remember everything exactly because of the massive trauma. The shoe is displayed as standing up in it's case in the room of all the Gordy memorabilia, so that is how he is remembering it in his memories. I also think there shouldn't be a "why" answer to why did Gordy not attack Jupe on the set. One of the themes of the movie, I think, is answering "why" is impossible. Why did Gordy go crazy? Why did he leave Jupe alone? Why did OJ/Emerald's dad have to die? Why did the animal come to that area in the first place? The point is that there is no rational "why" and part of the issue with our spectacle-loving culture is asking that question in the first place.

Something that I don't really see people talking about, is how this movie can also be interpreted as a critique of standom/fandom culture. Jupe refers to Jean Jacket as the viewers and his depiction of the alien(s) looks like the cameras that were on set during the Gordy fiasco. The way people dehumanize the celebrities that they are fans of, turning them and their lives into an absolute spectacle. People complain about paparazzi, but they exist because fans who are obsessed with wanting to know every single aspect of a celebrity's life keep consuming what they produce.

I don’t think the shoe is actually standing up in the attack. I think that since Jupe has the shoe in his memorabilia room displayed like that, that’s how he sees it in the memory. It represents a safe place for him in the memory. And to me this ties into OJ being dead at the end. When Em looks and sees OJ on the horse, i think that’s a memory of him that she has in her head to represent a safe place after she saw him get eaten. But I’d like for him to live at the end and get revenge for his pops and live up to the family name.

I believe that the guy ( i forgot his name in the movie) the Gordy actor that played in the show with the monkey. I believe he has been doing these shows, it wasn't his first.. 1. He bought multiple horses from OJ. 2. There were coins everywhere at the guy's theme park. So I believe the coin that killed OJs dad was from the victims from his show prior. Thealien pretty much poops out the things it cant digest like the time it hoovered over their house and just realest the blood and garbage it sucked up. Before he got eaten by the alien he said" wow, he's a little early than usual" . Meaning he was doing shows on set schedule and he used the horses to lore the alien but this time the alien was on his own schedule

I think Jupe was trying to make the same connection he had with Gordy with the alien. Before Gordy was killed he attempted to fist bump Jupe, which I feel Jupe may have felt he had Gordy’s trust and might’ve even felt like he “tamed” him. I think in that moment the shoe sitting upright was an omen for Jupe as I feel it represents “wait for the other shoe to drop.” That situation should’ve been a lesson learned, but in hindsight it haunted Jupe into his adult years and eventually became his demise, hence “the other shoe dropped.” It was inevitable! I feel in that 6 months time Jupe was able to watch and build what he may felt was a trusting relationship with the alien, the same as he had with Gordy. I also feel he may have thought he had it “tamed” because he fed it horses. I think OJ & Em’s discovery of the alien made things worse as they began to “poke the bear.” I believe their provoking of it along with Jupe bringing in an audience/creating a “spectacle” as well as the fact that “lucky” didn’t leave the glass cell was what made it snap and ultimately losing its respect for its surroundings! Everything eventually came back full circle for Jupe, but at a higher cost!!! Great movie & review!!!

Emerald made me think of green/gem. There are alot of green themes from what I've seen. Like Emerald is always on go or wanting money. & OJ seems to be on the run & under investigation for the murders going in around him as the creature is prosecuting OJ..testing to see of he will "fess up"/look up at the creature. Jupe being dressed in red, standing next to a green curtain covering a horse named Lucky is also loud symbolism. The red could represent his blood sacrifice in order to gain some green from feeding that horse to the alien as ppl witnessed it. The red could also represent how Jupe didn't want to be ate(signal STOP) but wants the horse to be the food, having the green curtain on it(eat this GO) Ima watch it when it comes out on Redbox lol

Also the OJ trial was a huge spectacle. Now that I think about it, it was the first big media spectacle over a trial. On that kind of international scale.

Jupe played his role well and the point was made before he died, which was that some people just can't read between the lines even after a traumatic experience. They become the opressor instead of the liberator. The monkey fucked up all the perfect people but left the kid actor that messed up a line alone. "You dont deserve the impossible" The alien was a percieved threat but as it evolved and changed form it was only trying to adapt to a world it didnt belong in, in order to survive. Even though Ricky hid under the table he actually didnt avert his gaze from the scary monkey and guess what...he survived. The irony is that Ricky was an alternate persona of Jupe, it was an illusion. The monkey broke out of the illusion even though he didnt know exactly what was going on. He knew he had enough but ironically broke free of that before the audience and cast memebers did. Helloooo!! You also get to see how filmmaking has evolved also when you see an old style cast acting in a movie.

Ghost got eaten by Jean Jacket, Clover was also eaten by Jean Jacket, Gordy got shot by the police, Lucky was the only survivor but OJ’s dad died and he was riding Lucky, Jean Jacket also died from the inflatable balloon from tourist park.

I think there is two ways to view the shoe standing like that: Ether the shoe is the the bad miracle, in the sense on how statistically improbable it could land like that. Which lead to Jupe not to look at Gordy which saves him. Making the shoe a miracle but a bad one cuz it was caused by a tragedy. Gordy going violent is the spectacle that cause the shoe to fall like that . That a bad miracle is when something statistically improbable happens ethir caused by tragedy or its the thing that causes the tragedy. Or the spectacle is the shoe cus how it stands . And if u define a bad miracle as a tragedy than Gordy going violent is the bad miracle.

Your point about the shoe makes sense, but it just feels more mysterious than that... I almost feel like we need a movie surrounding that 😳

If it only attacks from being looked at why did it take the biker with the fully reflective helmet on that the alien could tell if he was looking for not, or take the lady how was attacked by Gordy as her eyes were covered by the veil. My biggest gripe with the movie was when the alien was sucking up the house is she ran but some how gets thrown instead of sucked up like absolutely everything else!

I really liked this movie, and it has obviously caused a lot of discussions. I can't stop thinking about it and I really like that jordans films are meant to be viewed multiple times. Great director

How did Jip know about the alien? It seems as if he was making a deal with the alien for awhile and when he tried making a show out of it the alien killed everyone to protect its identity. Maybe he seen it as a kid and he made a deal with it to stay alive.

My theory is he spotted it when first getting horses from OJ for something unrelated. Maybe it ate a horse he had just bought. So, because Gordy, he saw money in exploiting OJ and Jean Jacket, thinking it was a ship merely abducting horses.

He explains to the crowd 6 months ago he was there in that exact spot trying to wrangle a horse when the the horse took off into the field where the ufo came and took it. He's been bringing horses there for a while and that's why he's not really interested in selling OJs horses back to him because he gave them to ufo.

Jupiter is a God. Anyway, I really thought there was no other timing that would work. The Gordy scene was Jupiter’s mind. The scene was eerily quiet…like fate waiting for the other shoe to drop. That’s where Jup lived mentally. It’s why he believed he was indestructible. But he knew he was not well. Instead of acknowledging his trauma he ignored it/challenged it/rawhide riding against his trauma and the lessons from it.
