[@divine_masculine69]

What I really liked about this movie was that it’s very different from other alien movies, other alien movies tend to be end of the world type stuff, but this one doesn’t and it feels more local in a way, I also love the fact that the ufo/uap itself isn’t a ship but an actual living thing, which makes realize how little we actually know

[@riskybusiness2660]

Also it was really cool that the end goal wasn't to kill it for being evil (though that could be an interpertation of why they wanted proof of it's existence) but just for the ambiguous end of needing footage for no explicit reason. It wasn't a battle to the death but more like a rodio wrangler which also adds to the whole ranch setting, quality writing. It was actually more or less coincidence that the explosion happened. Though a thought just came in to my head as to why they would need photographic evidence if all they needed to do was just take some rangers and survive an encounter with the alien for prolonged enough time to capture evidence in a way, which is feesable with enough understanding of it's behavioral patterns to survive an encounter, which could lead to a big news spreading from officer in rank to official and higher ups leading sending a special task to the ranch getting proper evidence. The edible hit hard while making this dude.

[@vampapaiya]

The horse OJ has at the beginning that he takes to sell to Jupe is Lucky. Spoilers to follow- Lucky doesn’t get sacrificed because Ghost is untamable and gets out of his pen on his own. So the night Lucky is supposed to be sacrificed, he got “lucky” because Ghost escaped and got snatched up. Same thing happens next time around, Emerald stole the horse statue from Jupe and his kids got revenge by letting Clover out, making Clover the next victim instead of Lucky. By this time, OJ has realized what Jupe is up to and goes back to get Lucky when the alien kills all the people at the show, leaving Lucky because he stayed in the cage. Lucky survives the entire movie and is the horse that OJ rides to capture evidence of the alien. I thought that was pretty neat and my favorite part of the whole movie.

[@Schweigetherapie]

The reason for the low attendance at the Star Lasso Experience was because it was the first time he invited an audience to the show, combined with the bad storm coming (reducing overall park attendance). You even see people still holding their cellphones and recording JJ before it gets too close. The only reason nobody was able to bring home recorded footage was because they all died.

This. I've seen 3 reviews with people not realizing that was the first show. When I saw the movie I could tell it was the first show. He was training it for 6 months not hosting shows for 6 months.

[@gabrielhazzard7206]

I think the use of the name OJ was significant. In terms of how the media made such a spectacle of the OJ Simpson trial. Jean Jacket was like the helicopter flying over OJ while driving away in his Bronco. But I think the intention was more to explore race and what the media or Hollywood chooses to highlight or hide. The first film captured a black jockey riding a horse but history only highlights the horse.

The reason the chimpanzee didn't attack Jupe was because the table cloth from the table was in-between their line of vision. This acted as a buffer between their view of each other and removed the reflection the chimpanzee saw in the other cast's eyes.

[@JoFlo93]

The big connection that struck me as I left the theater was the use of balloons or inflatables. The balloons popping are what set off Gordie. They used an army of inflatable tube people to track Jean Jacket. The flags attached to the decoy horse are made of similar material. A giant balloon is what did Jean Jacket in and JJ itself was very reminiscent of a balloon (its digestive tract seemingly looking like similar material too). It all seemed to purposeful to be a coincidence.

He’s definitely alive in the end. what we see with him backing away. looking the ufo in the eyes. THAT WAS THE AGREEMENT it was the same as Jupe and gordys fist bump agreement. Which was why Jupe was spared. This was discussed earlier in the film. animals in the wild to train you need to make an agreement with.

[@victorpleitez768]

There wasn’t an agreement w/ Jupe and the chimp. Jupe was spared because the table cloth obscured both his and the Gordy chimp’s eyes ( btw that particular chimp was new and didn’t build a strong relationship with young Jupe ). Also Jupe being distracted by the shoe during the attack made him look less threatening to the chimp.

[@Immy50]

@@victorpleitez768 He literally goes to fist bump Jupe expressing a connection. an agreement.

[@Immy50]

The relationship with Gordy/ Jupe and OJ/ Jean Jacket is meant to be analogous. Why would they have Gordy/ Jupe express a connection and make a agreement sparing Jupe but when OJ and JJ look eachother in the eyes making an agreement OJ is spared for no particular reason. OJ is literally looking Jean Jacket directly in the eye when the movie ends. Why is he spared🤔 oh bc something covered his eyes /he was distracted so he looked less threatening? I think its a little deeper than that buddy

[@museysmoderndreadfuls]

I also lean toward OJ's survival.

[@jaylonlawson4321]

I think for sure OJ survived. My reason for saying that is another theme is respecting animals boundaries and understanding each one’s rules. OJ understood the rules of the alien and because he did and showed it it’s proper respect he was able to survive. This is a direct contrast to the directors and actors on Gordys Home, the actors and directors of the commercial, Jupe and the TMZ guy

[@Star-Mac10]

Gordy was a representation of mankind. When someone is controlled, they're liable to snap when you least expect it and over the smallest thing. Gordy was controlled and snapped over the sound of balloons popping on his birthday of all days. The movie was also about class, greed and the pitfalls of living in the past.

[@Spookiyomi]

Honestly one of my favorite alien depictions because it feels lovecraftian and was both horrifying and beautiful

[@jasonco2]

Honestly, one of the most interesting thoughts I’ve had that I haven’t seen anyone else talk about, is that Jean Jacket may not be an alien. I mean, obviously we have no idea what it is and I understand that NOPE can mean Not Of Planet Earth; but there is nothing in the movie that tells us it is extraterrestrial. That particular fact is just an assumption that we, the audience, and the characters make. There is no actual evidence that JJ isn’t just some unknown thing that has hunted the skies of earth for 1000s of years, like an arial shark, prehistoric. Maybe JJ is one of many, an “angel”, an ancient creature that some ancient people might have confused for the divine and maybe even worshiped it or gave it sacrifices. Missing colonies? Could just have been a JJ. We know it needs to eat, and pretty regularly, which would be hard in space. So if anything, all evidence points to it being OF earth and not from space. Obviously the movie is framed as though JJ is an alien, but I just think it’s interesting that we never actually learn that. The movie lets us make that assumption ourselves, let’s us make up our own backstory and reasons for the strange spectacle before us.

[@theresnoyinkatie]

This was great. Thanks! When you take a deeper dive, I'd love to hear more about the monkey show massacre and Jupe. I can't fully understand why he had such fond memories of the show (and literally created a shrine to it) when he witnessed something so horrific.

[@nightmarilyn]

I imagine the shrine itself was an elaborate coping mechanism. And after the incident, Hollywood probably made it the only thing Jupe would ever be known for. Every interviewer just wanting to bring up the incident, to the point where Jupe's only access to it is to reflect on it as someone who viewed the incident-not EXPERIENCED it. I think that's also why when Emerald asks for details, he can only bring up the SNL skit, because confronting the experience would be terrifying and traumatic-but accessing it as something that is a spectacle was 'digestible' for him. Maybe this is also what made Jupe so desperate for claiming the limelight again-in a way that would TRULY overpower his fame for the gordy's home incident. His ownership of the park is a nod to his first claim to fame, but it wasn't enough to stop people from remembering the Gordy incident. Perhaps he sees the UAP as his chance back to fame, without having to address his traumatic experience yet again.

[@legitodin7631]

I think it's because when he looks back at it he witnessed 2 miracles. 1.Gordy deciding not to hurt him but to give him a fist bump. 2. the shoe that is sitting straight up

[@papazero]

Jup was a victim of the entertainment industry by virtue of being a child star and due to the "accident." The reality is the accident was the consequence of an industry indifferent to it's individual participants. The animal was trained but it had no ego compelling it to want fame and fortune while Jup did. Jup denies the tragedy of the event as he recounts it because he still wants to be where he was - living that dream. One of the differences between Haywood ranch and the Jupe's show was the attention and work that went into taking care of and paying attention to the needs of the animals. However, Otis Sr.'s fate remained the same despite his care and work ethic because he was just as caught up in the industry.

[@urgentlyj]

literally thank you for not explaining the plot but explaining the characters and themes u need to do black swan because after rewatching as an adult i looked up videos for deeper analysis and they were all shit acting like im dumb

[@zarkflappysheep]

Sadly, a huge part of this video is false. The alien show at the rodeo is showing for the first time ever. Throughout the film he keeps talking about their “big new show” and his wife is on the phone talking about the “big new attraction”. “Never before seen”. Of course there would be a lot of people there if people were talking about an actual alien. News casts would be there, regardless of proof. It would be a huge plot hole. But no, he’s been feeding JJ horses for quite a while before actually doing the show.

[@gabrielmatesanz3866]

The night Ghost gets out - OJ finds Jupe practicing the show in the dark, and the alien swoops down. Probably ate the horse then!

[@joeynato]

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Thank you!!!!

[@papazero]

It's not just the film industry - it's the entertainment industry a whole. Music is incorporated, papparazzi, news, tabloids, talk shows, etc... you could even make a case for Jupe's carnival ground. The point is all of these are vehicles for the ego to reach american dream of a path to fame and fortune. THIS is JEAN JACKET. This is what we cannot look away from unless we make a conscious effort to do so. Even OJ wanted it if only to continue for the legacy of his father. The ensemble that decides to get the photo makes the decision that the reason they MUST get a photo of Jean Jacket is to expose it for the problem it is rather then a spectacle (which is also why the picture is left by the protagonist at the end - it's left to expose the problem and not used as an opportunity to take part in the cycle). Of course the film makers fatal flaw is getting the impossible shot - so his ego gives way to his greed to confront Jean Jacket gets him swallowed... the other characters remain steadfast in the mission. It even eats those that are mere spectators to the cycle. Another interesting symbol throughout the movie is the cowboy hat. The cowboy hat is a symbol of America... and fairly well associated with the coming of age of american cinema in particular. One particular scene filled with frightful tension strangely plays western music rather than stereotypical horror flick music. The business owners in the move wore cowboy hats including Otis and Jupe's wife (who passed the hat on to Jupe when he mistakenly believed he could tame the nature of the beast... A scene with Emerald in a decisive moment shows a cowboy hat hanging near her... The metaphor runs so deep and rich and to my mind can almost be interpreted as the "American Dream" in general with lots of examples evident but there is no doubt that entertainment is the primary analogue.

[@noneoftheosrt]

I'd take it even a step further from the entertainment industry and say that it's the spectacle of our culture of overdocumentation; how many times have we heard stories of people sacrificing their lives for the sake of "that perfect shot"? Atop tall buildings, waterfalls, in front of dangerous animals etc. We're consumed by the need to document, because if not, did our experiences really exist? Someone else in these comments mentioned that they liked the fact that JJ felt very "local", and I think this is intentional. There is no survival instinct behind staying in town; OJ and Em could have easily Noped out and we wouldn't have a story. The entire plot hinges on their need to stay and document what they're seeing. We see this as well in the priorities of the dying TMZ man, obsessed with his canera till his dying breath, and Holst, who already had great footage of JJ, but needlessly sacrificed himself in order to climb a hill to get to the perfect vantage point. The climax/most suspenseful moment of the film all built up towards whether or not Em would be able to snap a shot of JJ using the only means of recording left. Oddly enough, this feels a lot like a harsh critique on Instagram culture/ the FOMO epidemic!

[@papazero]

@@noneoftheosrt I wouldn't discount your assertion (it's all subjective fun) but I don't think it's the "need to document" so much as the compulsion for fame or to matter/feel important. JJ fed off those that compulsively wanted more than just documenting it's existence. This is established by virtue of the fact that the three main characters realize they must let the world know JJ exists as a problem and in the process - they have no interest in personally benefitting from that exchange for their own ego's sake. I used the entertainment industry because the movie uses it as the central conduit of motivation for all the the main characters. They're all hustlers in entertainment in some form or fashion but the survivors saw past their compulsion.

[@chadrichjellming4911]

Sooo I gained a lot of insight from this review, but there is one thing that you never talked about that I have been wondering ever since seeing the movie. Why was Gordy such an important detail to the movie? Was he simply to show “animal” behavior in a sense? And I understand the balloons were setting off the monkey, but why did the ballooons keep popping all on their own when they were just floating there on set? Plus, isn’t it coincidental that balloons were setting off Gordy and a giant balloon is ultimately what “defeated” Jean Jacket? Lastly, why or how was the girl’s shoe standing perfectly upright during the monkey attack? It seemed like an obvious detail, but it was never extrapolated on further. Is it maybe just the director’s simple yet subtle way of saying the impossible is possible? Just some thoughts of mine I’d love to hear your thoughts on.

[@crystolslimbracey]

I had the same question with the shoe. I wanna hear Jordan’s explanation for this. I just left the theater and I really enjoyed how different this film was.

[@angeloarias4119]

I’m pretty sure the shoe is reminiscent of a “bad miracle”, similar to what OJ briefly talks about in the film when talking about Jean Jacket. It’s amazing that the shoe is standing upright, but horrible that it’s happening amidst a chimpanzee going on a rampage. Similarly, it’s amazing that Aliens (Jean Jacket) are proven to exist, but at the same time it’s killing a huge amount of people. I guess it essentially boils down to the message of spectacles coming with a sacrifice.

[@rosiemahoneyvideo]

Here's my reasoning for why the balloons were popping on the tv set: Stage lights get extremely hot. Balloons hung at various heights would pop when the gas inside them heats and expands or when the balloon material melts/burns. I think that's why the balloons were fine up until a point, then started to pop spontaneously around the same time.

[@Playbackrm100]

This is a very great comment!! I asked the same thing over & over!! From the beginning of the film…to the middle…what is the significance of this damn-shoe standing perfectly upright in a vertical position with a seemingly interesting ZOOM-FOCUS from the camera!? And unless I missed something, if I recall right, the blood-drop stain the shoe when the scene proffered more detail with ‘Jupe’ under the table, was NOT there in the show at the very beginning of the movie

[@jasonco2]

My personal take for why all the Gordy stuff was included was to stress that this isn’t just some one off event, this cycle of abuse is a cycle that keeps on consuming more and more. Jupe suffered because people thought they could train a wild animal to create a spectacle. He carries that trauma his whole life, thinking himself above it, but only perpetuates it. His mistakes kill other people and create new traumatized survivors: our main characters. Let’s hope OJ and Em learn their lesson and don’t think themselves better than nature later in life. After all, they got their picture, their spectacle. Just like Jupe, they’ll profit off it no doubt. The cycle continues…

I think you overlooked some things in your analysis. For one, the animal behavior. The shoe standing straight up during the chimpanzee attack to me signifies there was something supernatural going on. Then there’s the pray mantis that just so happens to cover the camera for the entire time the creature is in the sky, and only leaves after the ufo does. And then the film director who sacrificed himself - why would anyone do that? He wanted the shot, maybe, but the camera was destroyed along with him, so it was pointless. I think the creature could somehow control some animals’ behaviors. Otherwise the pray mantis scene is too coincidental. Just my take

Thing with the shoe was just dumb luck. If Jean Jacket could control animals the movie would’ve shown more of that. It was pretty obvious the balloons popping made the monkey react the way it did.

[@tjfrizzi5965]

Nice to see someone mention the correlation to Jupe with his Sitcom and his Theme Park Special Show. The few others I've seen talk about the movie didn't seem to see that connection. 🖖

[@kidreem6823]

There’s so many things in play I believe jean are jupe and everyone because jupe was abusing his so called relationship jupe was unknowingly feeding jean jacket thinking aliens were viewing us and jean jacket was because why else didn’t he eat jupe maby jupe didn’t make eye contact but I’m sure his curiosity he looked so it’s possible jean jacket was or had mutual respect But once jupe wanted to bring an audience and make a spectacle jean jacket was watching and came and ate em

[@victoriagoldsmith5039]

This was a breakdown. I understand Nope more now!

[@hectoranez2606]

Woao!! I am new to your channel and I love the way you explained this film…

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Welcome aboard, I very much appreciate that!

[@flaveiia]

Loved your review! It was heavy on symbolism not literal as some have said it being about animal abuse. It’s a movie you have to watch a few times

[@bitspersecond2006]

Just came from watching the movie and I have to say that was an excellent analysis. I think there is something to be said about the form of Jean jacket at the end, almost angelic but not sure what it was … and what about that shoe standing upright?

[@jtatsiue]

I heard another KZbinr say that it illustrates the phrase: waiting for the other shoe to drop.

[@avigindratt7608]

Jupe's jacket shows Jean Jacket in its final form

[@dynamorphic]

What's the background music at 7:00 ???

[@ThousanWhite]

I've seen the movie three times now and I'm 100% sure that OJ and Lucky died. There's a few clues that I didn't even pick up on until the third viewing that sealed it for me. With that said, I think Peele intentionally wrote and shot that ending so that it was ambiguous and it could be left up to the viewer to decide OJ's fate. Well, I've made my decision.

[@someon3_like_you]

Could you give reasons as to why you think this? Lol

[@jeremypeele8010]

Jordan has made a masterpiece, you’ll text about this for answers… genius!!!!!!!😊👍🏻

[@jarianharris8240]

Wow!! Great in depth analysis

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Thank you Jarian Harris!

[@soniabai6581]

Also Jean jacket was sold to a movie but replaced by camels later circled with the ending where Em finally took those Oprah photos but other media has arrived and started reporting on the scene.

[@tzfsr]

"welcome to my channel where i don't treat you like an idiot" not even a minute later. "you get it... jean jacket... like in the movie... jean jacket. you know. jean jacket" (very good video though, thank you, very helpful)

[@robgetsreel]

Great video analysis 👍. I like your take on the perception of the alien being a camera where you can't help but look in the final act. Definitely Subcribing. 👍

[@cocoshauntel5979]

Ok. Here’s my thoughts 1.I don’t think jube did the show weekly I think he fed the alien weekly. But when he finally put on a show the alien attacked 2. The fake horse was at jubes park and Jj didn’t eat it, but ate it when it was at house. That was confusing to me. 3. I think nope is about GREED will eff you up every time….all the selfish money shot hungry killing innocent horses people died. I believed the alien was there for years and probably ate already dead things and was content. It only came out the recent 6 months and I think it’s because jube discovered it and fed it something better the live horse. And the alien kept coming back for it. So that’s why jube thought they was friends. Then when Jj got the fake horse he probably assume there was no more real ones and he was so Entitled and greedy he threw a tantrum and chewed up the people and spit them out! At the end he died from trying to do to the same tantrum. I also think the reason oj survived is because he was on the horse and the alien no longer wanted to eat horse due to the last one he ate being fake which is why when he chewed up the people he left the horse. 4. I think the balloons scared Gordy cause it sound like gun shots maybe hunters took him from his life in the wild and it snapped him back 5. I have no idea wassup with the shoe 6 what time period was they in?? The clothes and flip phone look early 2000 but I saw people using vapes and apple products 7. Also let animals be in their natural habitat.

[@niteskies]

👏🏽

[@akaye643]

On point

[@chowrites6179]

Something I noticed after watching was that the movie begins and ends with a balloon popping

[@adrianaquin]

Just realized the main character names are OJ (orange) and Emerald (green) to build upon your color theory!

[@Christian-or6cn]

I got one you didn’t notice!! The cameras from the Gordy TV show look just like the Aliens from Jupiter’s Claim! Adding to your metaphor that Jean Jacket represents how ppl become a spectacle for the cameras

[@oa6861]

I thought the creature looked like those “biblically accurate angels”

[@brycedavis6718]

I wonder what the time stamp of Jupe saying in 1 hour you will see a spectacle lines up with in the movie???

[@lemonmania967]

It lines up with Jean Jacket’s transformation!

[@brycedavis6718]

@@lemonmania967 that's what i was thinking but wasn't sure.

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Thank you Jarian Harris!

[@CasoDinero]

Did anyone notice the ufo on Jupe jacket?

[@kietro8319]

2:30 I think Ricky-er, Jup-only did 1 show w/Jean Jacket before getting eaten

Wow, I wasn’t expecting this to be so good! No offense, this is my first time to your channel. Great job!

In short - you're absolutely right on all counts.

Great breakdown dude

[@azimby2844]

I have been WAITING for this video ever since I watched Nope on opening day 🥳 !! Im super excited

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Ayyyy thank A Zimby! Hopefully you liked it and hopefully you like Part 2!

[@azimby2844]

@@BryceEdwardBrown I loved them both! Your videos never disappoint :)

[@eternalnjem]

Anyone else think the alien looked similar to the Angels in Neon Genesis: Evangelion??

[@charlynnhanes]

the horse from the beginning didn’t get sacrificed! that horse was lucky- the horse at the end of the film

[@virginiad.1911]

wow i love the footage at 7:58!!

[@virginiad.1911]

wow i love 9:49 even more!!!!!!!!!!!

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

Same though

[@Light-xm2pi]

BROO JUST LIKE HOW OJ (orange juice) IS ORANGE AND AN EMERALD (a rock/gem) IS GREEN

[@highhowler6234]

Exactly. Gordy was showing jupe the bond they had.

[@tanphifer]

this was great thank you 😭😭

[@BryceEdwardBrown]

So happy to hear!

[@jasoncraig5958]

It’s the first show!! That’s why there isn’t a big crowd

[@gpmontano1]

Please continue. I’m still wondering if it was good or not.

[@girliboi]

i'm pretty sure we're seeing jupe's first show.. . he'd been feeding the -ufo- uap to presumably establish a routine, but sounded to me like he's inviting oj and em to a new event.

[@timdogdawg4099]

Thanks for explaining the film...you definitely know your shit and have more patience than me!

I'm so glad you liked it, I appreciate that you appreciate the effort I put into these videos!
