IM TELLING YOU ITS HIS PREDICTIONS!!!!!!

[@kinggiroud8233]

the monkey thing isn't unanswered....it's a wild animal that Jupe thought he had a connection with. Jupe thought he tamed the money, but he didn't. The monkey avoided beating him to death because it couldn't see his eyes (obscured by the yellow tablecloth). Also, Jupe thinks that the standing shoe signified a miracle, even though it was just a random event. As a result of all of this, Jupe never truly learned the monkey's rules. It's a wild animal that attacked when it was scared, and it spared Jupe because he didn't look it directly in its eyes (it didn't see him as a threat at that moment). This is why the alien killed him....Jupe did not learn the alien's rules like Oj and his team did. He believed he could tame the alien and he died because of it. Basically, Oj's dad said that some beasts can't be tamed. People thought they tamed the monkey, but it brutally mauled humans....same with the alien.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

Also the shoe grabbed Jupe's attention so he wasn't staring at the ape allowing to the ape to calm down.

[@Jasper_Nickels]

[@ghostlyexe]

@@JeshuaSquirrel yes! Thank you for adding that, it’s one of my favorite details of the movie

[@RabidDogma]

For anyone actually wondering - the government changed the term from UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) to UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) because literally anything in the air that you don't know what it is is technically a "UFO" - a frisbee is a UFO if you don't realize that it's a UFO. UAP specifically refers to the phenomenon of an aerial craft/animal/object that cannot be identified by official means. UFO just means "something in the air that I don't recognize right now," and UAP means "we tried to figure out what this shit is and we can't."

[@RabidDogma]

And as for whatever the creature is - it could be extraterrestrial, OR it could be a "cryptid," an unidentified species of creature from here. (UAPs can also be, and usually ARE, earth-based. They're usually things that just weren't identified at first, and are later on.) I think that's why there was so much focus on animals in this movie. You can't always explain why/how an animal behaves, like with Gordy. That's the same situation with whatever this creature is. A big thing with a lot of animals is DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. They see it as a challenge/threat. Once OJ (Kaluuya) realized that it was an animal and that it was behaving similarly to some animals, he changed his behaviors. You have to learn as you go.

[@themaynetitan]

Also to sort between older and newer information regarding unidentified aircrafts

[@KenSahaja]

You almost got there. But why they changed it is to make it a broader term. Cause whatever unidentified thing in the air could not always be an object. It's more accurate that way. Could be a swarm of birds or just some weather phenomena or even something from the actual camera that's capturing it, UAP can fit both meanwhile UFO cannot.

[@RabidDogma]

@@KenSahaja "You almost got there." Fuck off with the weird arrogance. And FYI, they changed it because it was TOO broad, you dipshit. I said that in my previous post.

[@Nocturnewashere]

The reason Jean Jacket puffed up into its “jellyfish” state is because it was displaying its dominance. Similar to how a cat will hiss and puff up its fur, or how a bear will stand on its hind legs to appear bigger. The wire Angel wrapped himself in hurt it, so it grew frustrated and began seeing the humans as a threat- so it attempted to intimidate them. Jean Jacket's behavior is a lot like real animals, which is the point. Many animals see eye contact as a sign of aggression and will quickly become hostile. Many animals also attempt to intimidate whatever they feel threatened by. The reason it didn't kill OJ I assume is because while he stared it down, he backed up slowly- showing Jean Jacket that he wasn't afraid of it but wasn't a threat to it either.

[@zangetsu1597]

It's easy to criticize, but much harder to try to come up with a creative design. I think people believe aliens should look fathomable to the human mind. I feel people typically expect a humanoid and/or clear animal-like design, but something that is truly "alien" could very-well be unfathomable to our minds. (Kinda like cosmic horror, I guess.) Not saying Peele achieved this, but he definitely did a good job in my opinion. I don't think it's possible for us to create something visually unlike anything that we haven't already seen. That would be the God-level creativity.

​@@joshuanaylor3416 Well, to me, it wouldn't just be the squeezing/crushing claustrophobia and agonizingly slow digestion... but the darkness. Literal darkness, particularly when it became nighttime hours later when JJ was roaming through that rainstorm. When Jube and his audience were first abducted, it was around morning/during the day. When JJ sucked them all up into it's gaping maw and set everyone inside it's "stomach", you could see (what I believe to be) natural light shining through it's body's soft tissue & membrane. Eventually, it got dark, and those poor souls were still trapped inside that massive beast. Trapped inside that it's tight, claustrophobia-inducing digestive tract, with 0 light coming through, is a nightmare. Those people were certainly experiencing Hell as they were being abducted, but to suffer several hours in a compact space, tightly cramped together like sardines, while being slowly digested, IN THE DARK??? I'd regret being born if that was me in there, over and over and over again.

The creepiest thing to think about with this movie is that everyone just assumes that it’s an alien. And not that this is it’s home planet.

That's the thing I've always thought of. What if it's not an alien? What if it's just a creature from a rare species that naturally is from Earth? How scary is the thought of that?

The monkey scene was tied directly to the themes of the movie as it was all about "the obsession with spectacle" and the idea of a "bad miracle". The shoe was the bad miracle as it was tied directly to a tragedy but it's presence ended up saving Jupes life. As for spectacles and the obsession with them its how that obsession can turn tragic when it is craved too much (which also ties right back to Jupe and his thinking he was chosen by the beast and it in turn killed him and everyone around him".

[@a_2502]

there are two main themes that i noticed on this movie and they both get connected by the monkey story. The themes are animal mistreatment/disrespect and also the media's obsession with spectacle. Jupe processed the whole gordy thing as a spectacle and he did the same with jean jacket, which is why he died the way he did, he didn't learn his lesson. As for the shoe, it's kind of like a "bad miracle" that OJ references, which is a miracle because it saved Jupe's life, but it happened under horrible circumstances. Another banger vid from you guys

Wait so explain what you mean by the shoe, because I’ve always wondered why it was like that?

[@LSPTaris]

@@decirto6454 To be fair, the perspective of the shoe is from a traumatized kids point of view. So it honestly might've not been like that, but that's how he remembers it. Similar to how he internalized the monkey going for the fist bump as a way to believe he can be someone to calm/tame a wild animal even though in reality, the monkey had no idea what was going on and if it's eyes weren't covered, it most likely would've killed him too.

[@sapphic.flower]

@@decirto6454the shoe is generally up for interpretation, I get what OP was saying that Jupe calming down and even finding amusement at the standing shoe could’ve possibly saved his life. But I saw a different explanation that I agree with more which is that shoe standing is itself a spectacle. Even with all the horror and danger around Jupe, he was still enamoured by the fact the shoe was able to stand upright amidst the chaos. It’s just another symbol to the greater theme of the movie how we can’t help but make a spectacle out of bad things.

I love the bookends of this film. It begins and ends with a balloon popping. It begins and ends with a series of still photographs. I also have a fondness for movies that spoil themselves. It tells you exactly what's going to happen by showing you Gordy upfront, it shows you the thing's mouth, and even that quote. Other things I dig: The inflatable waving arm men look like they're people being pulled up when they're working. The alien/megafauna/Jean Jacket looks like a giant eye when it's sideways. In the trailer, Emerald does a spin right before she says the "skin in the game" line. In the movie she does the spin (again) after defeating Jean Jacket. (I wish they'd left the first one in the movie.) I like how the Jean Jacket story explains her relationship to the family and the business. That was probably not the only promise that got broken so it makes sense that she doesn't prioritize helping out. OJ *never* gets loud and does a lot of non-verbal communication because he's around the horses all the time. (Even when he yells for Emerald to leave and it echos he doesn't sound as loud as when Emerald tells him to run earlier in the movie.)

Jupe thought he had a special way with animals because of what happened with Gordy. Gordy killed or maimed everyone else, but just gave Jupe a fist bump, and the shoe standing up just added to the surrealness of the situation and made Jupe believe there was some spiritual connection there when there wasn't. The movie has a theme of control and respect. You can get horses to more or less do what you want so long as you respect their boundaries and keep them calm. The film crew at the beginning didn't respect the horse enough and ended up freaking it out. Jupe fed some horses to the monster in isolation but had absolutely no idea how it would react to a crowd of people all staring at it. He just assumed it would do what he wanted it to do because he was special, because Gordy didn't hurt him. Also, Gordy just snapped because the balloons popping on the studio lights startled it.

[@masteroctagon6888]

To help out with how the monkey scenes connects, it does relate to quote about the spectacle. the primary theme of the movie is how human society make spectacles out of everything for example the tragic accident with Gordy becoming immortalized in a SNL skit. later, we see how Jupe internalizes the incident and thus tries to do the same thing to the alien that was done to Gordy. Its why i love the only way to defeat the alien is to not look at it in the eye, thus to not partake in the spectacle itself. Also theres a lesson about animal nature. Jupe adds another great layer as being apart of the spectacle himself as a marginalized child star, SO MANY LAYERS with this one!!! Was 10/10 theater experience for me!

The fake alien prank from the kids had Lupa sweating 😂😂😂

[@GojiFan1985yt]

The message of this movie is that everybody loves a spectacle, which is why Gordy snapped and all everybody wants to do is exploit the alien, Keke’s character wanted to get a picture in the end so she could become famous

[@bryancarson5908]

I JUST watched you guys’ Bullet Train movie reaction two days ago and started to wonder if you did NOPE. Kinda crazy how you all uploaded now this is perfect 😂

[@castlebyerslives7021]

the tablecloth covered jupe’s eyes and that’s part of the reason it didn’t attack him, but he likely assumed he had some sort of special ability to connect with and tame animals only to realize he was wrong in the end

[@Lydario]

so i’ve watched this a number of times, and there’s a LOT to notice! one of my fav details is the relationship between the siblings. one is reactive and charismatic, the other subdued but disciplined. OJ was perfectly suited to train horses, but emeralds energy made the dad decide not to train her. since then she’s been fighting to prove herself and be successful in her terms, but the two are only successful with each other! she has dads charisma, and oj has dads discipline. i also think, as a pet theory, that OJ and emerald both display a lot of traits of autism and ADHD respectively. i know i’m painting in broad strokes and it’s not universally true, but kids with autism tend toward logic and rules, and adhd is connection and expression. the two represent extremes and balance each other out. i worked at a camp for kids with learning disabilities, and one of the things i loved watching is seeing the kids with autism and adhd learning to work with each other, because if you can handle an extreme, you can handle anything in between. i really love this movie and the story it tells. both of their flaws alienate them, but together they’re strengths. emerald is the only one that can bring OJ out of his shell, and OJ is the only one that makes emerald feel seen. their trust in each other was so well built! it’s a fairly straight forward movie but there are SOOO many details to notice!

[@mainstreetmafia6605]

OJ's aversion to eye contact too, if he was written as autistic it might be the best depiction of it I've ever seen

[@Lydario]

@@mainstreetmafia6605 honestly! these characters were crafted with such care, and after all my years working with neurodivergent kids i couldn't not see it!

[@Keladinus]

As far as I understand it, the cool thing about using the well camera to capture the 'Oprah shot' is that that type of old-school analog camera is near impossible to spoof

[@RaptorNX01]

yep, and the fact the jupe balloon can be seen in it also means they have a reference for scale.

[@silentassason]

30:22 I'm dying. I've replayed this like 5 times. Here's a timestamp for those who also wanna keep seeing that 😂 great reaction y'all. I wish i saw this in theaters but sadly i had to miss it but it was still a wild ride

[@alexinator-hh5fe]

I'm sorry but the duality of everybody getting demolished by Gordy and Roshi just focusing on the lady's shoes ended me. And all of them. And Gordy.

[@RaptorNX01]

considering that jupe staring at the shoe instead of gordy was part of what helped save him it actually works really well. lol

[@dazzygamer8555]

When asked about the animal touches in his film, Peele describes the use as "a reminder of how we treat anything that doesn't qualify as human” in an interview with Fox Washington DC.

[@angiecarpenter9807]

The subtle little Easter eggs in the movie is so good! Like the UFO on the back of the jacket

[@JahiemPlays100]

You know it's gonna be a fire reaction when Lupa is already sweating in the first minute.

[@lsvgaming20]

I like how in 17:00 we see Lupasan face is completely dry, but after that whole scare he was sweating bullets

[@angeljin5770]

It's so funny that when they get scared in jumpscare/horror playthroughs on stream, they respond with "yeahhhhh????" instead of nope XD love the channel and the work you put into your content!!

[@obeylashaune123]

I was waiting on y’all’s reactions. This movie was insane

[@tunynuna3542]

There are a lot of symbolic meanings from just the standing shoe itself, there are many theories for it but my favorite one is that the shoe was quite literally the embodiment of the saying "waiting for the other shoe to drop" which means to wait for an expected and inevitable event to occur. Gordy went riot by his animal instinct because of the popping balloons, reminding us that no matter how cute looking or gentle a wild animal appears to be, it's still a wild animal. If you remember in the flashback scene another balloon (the last balloon in the room) popped when he start killing that other dude. And the moment Gordy starts sitting looking confused about what happened or what he just did, there was no other balloon that could trigger Gordy again and there was only one person left at the scene who still lives. We subconsciously expected what was gonna happen next, Jupe's going to die, but the thing is he didn't, or at least not yet so at that moment we were eager to find out what was gonna happen next, we were waiting for the other shoe to drop in the entire film just like Jupe did at that moment, to reveal us of what's gonna happen. And the shoe drops when Jean Jacket happened. We've always known that Jupe's gonna be the next victim, it was inevitable, it just didn't tell us by who or what. It's so simple and yet deep at the same time I love this film so much.

[@lilpiece2k5]

This movie hit real for me as someone who grew up in the general area of this shit. Seeing them driving on the freeway, Agua Dulce, and shopping at Fry's Electronics, that shit drew me in for real. They really used the area in a way that's believable and I loved it

[@uri25kmister36]

A thing that no one really realizes is the non ufo form of Jean is inspired by biblically accurate angels , they are very similar to Jean in appearance and pele said that in this universe people mistaked these creatures for ufo’s and angels

[@SunGawdRa]

Casual Geographic did a video on the real life inspiration of the monkey attack and how it relates to Nope. I'd highly recommend it. This movie was amazing to me.

[@angelramos8764]

I have seen this movie 7 times, and loved it each and every time. But watching it with you guys took it to a whole new level. I am so glad I found this channel !!!

[@GCT1990]

Two things about the monkey scene 1) It's suppose to represent how our own desire to consume spectacles or what we perceive as spectacles of the out of norm often leads to our undoing 2) The show stand up drew Yeun's younger characters attention away from the ape, the Ape like the Jean jacket space ship sheet thing saw these characters as a none threat once their attention was off both spectacles (Ape or Gordy and space ship)... Gordie and the space ship for humans are seen as spectacles in this movie, if you look away from them you're out of harms way because you're no longer seeing these threats as larger forms specificals

[@bashirijones7008]

I think one of the main reason they wanted footage goes back to their ancestor who was filmed and forgotten yet the footage of him was more than famous and made many rich. He didn't get paid so the fam is trying to make sure this time they are on the other side of camera where the fame, wealth, and opportunities live!

[@Saphthings]

The "Akira slide" was totally on purpose. Jean Jacket is actually based on an angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion (and how it's described). Jordan Peele is a big anime fan and makes lots of nods to them : )

[@losflolos]

lovely review! I love how you all discuss collectively and use ONLY context in the movie to make your own interpretation. I've seen lots of reviews on this movie because it's one of my favorite and various people forget to value the exposition and understand the incentives of characters. If you're curious, there's a guy on youtube that broke down the biology of Jean Jacket and how he is similar to some animals particularly some in the sea. Especially Jellyfish considering they engulf their meal. That would be a cool reaction. Glad you liked it!

[@redandpurple317]

This movie is amazing and I love hearing the different ways people interpret some of it's imagery, like the shoe standing up, the correlation between Jean jacket and Gordy the chimp, it's just so interesting to have a movie that makes people truly think about it for days afterwards, I think even the people who hated it can take something away from it. Definitely my fave Peele project so far.

[@HiddenDarkHM]

Just walking in going through different reactions and just holy hell, blown AWAY by the intro for this channel. Wildly the BEST I've seen for any reaction channel. Also you guys's analysis of the movie's themes and connecting Jupe's history and everything was spot on!

[@liquidpza]

Jordan Peele was in talks to direct a live action Akira, but he decided that he wanted to focus on original content and passed on the project. The slide is a nod to that.

[@Anton-qc1fk]

Holy shit im so glad y’all watched this. I swear I have tough skin when it comes to stuff in movies but fuck the screaming in the sky marking where it’s at and the scene where everyone got ate still have stuck with me after watching the movie several times 💀💀💀

[@x0gucx]

Even for the reaction my heart was pounding. How do people have that s*it as a kink.

[@Anton-qc1fk]

@@x0gucx bro I have no idea 💀💀💀 mfs who see shit like that and say “wish that was me” need the electric chair

[@mentlinc]

Yeah the screams from the sky realizing these people been trapped flying around in that thing and don't even know where they are is disturbing af

[@TheNocturnalOracle]

17:13 it's the synchronized screaming for me. 😂

Sheera can break down and understand movies, animes, shows so well 👏 lol she’s definitely the back bone of y’all team 😂 I had to yt the movie after watching it to understand what happened and they said the exact same thing sheera did lol love y’all ❤ my fav reaction yters 🙌 been a fan for a cool min 😂

[@mdrw13]

I find it surprising everytime I look at it, that this channel is not over 1M subscribers yet. It is easily one of the best reaction channels.

[@rayvaughn4855]

That random Akira reference in this movie reminds just how influential that anime was and still is.

[@JusloveKAY]

See Sheera's take on the whole monkey thing makes a lot more sense because I was genuinely upset that they never explained it and it left me confused.

[@billthehill]

Nice. This was definitely my favourite movie of 2022. Awesome to see you guys react to it.

[@MrDoot-hj2ir]

Most accurate portrait of black people in horror situations: "oh hell nah"

[@DennisSchmitz]

My second favourite Jordan Peele movie right after Get Out. Nope is a fun ride with a deep message hidden in-between the lines.

[@Jayy122]

[@VeTrey01]

Lupa sweating bullets when y'all got to the first scene with the "aliens" had me dyin. That scene always gets everyone on the first watch 🤣

[@tallmanthesecond]

This was my movie of the year 2022, though I haven't seen everything everywhere all at once yet. But man the cosmic horror stuff in this one feels like it was made for me and me alone, I loved this one

[@Sam-vk8xd]

The alien Is designed in such a way that you can’t fully tell what it is because that way you can’t give it human qualities, or a face. We, psychologically, are always trying to find the “face” of everything so we can humanize it and understand it. Things we can’t find a face to make us uneasy, confused and uncomfortable. The design of the alien is pretty smart actually.

[@tolerdanu]

Lupa Sweating starting at 17:02 had me dying lol it just got worse when he was spooked too

[@BronyGaming-or8kv]

So in regards to the monkey thing, I believe it was meant to show that when the animals are around it, they freak out and don’t know how to react to it because they can’t see it similar to fight or flight, Jupe trying to fist bump him was him trying to calm down and relax the monkey with something that it is familiar with like a dog being hugged when it’s afraid of lightning so that he wasn’t freaking out like that anymore.

[@Nini-kc5ss]

I think i saw somewhere that it has to do with the fact the jupe romanticizes his trauma and because gordy didn’t kill him he thinks the alien won’t either. He thinks he is some chosen one type shit, which is just tragic. He’s definitely the best character imo.

[@rightguy200000]

Nah Gordy went berserk because of the balloons not JJ. What they share in common is that they were both dangerous animals treated as props and not seen or respeced for the threats that they were.

[@BronyGaming-or8kv]

@@Nini-kc5ss That actually makes a lot of sense for why he was so interested in the props from the show and why he had them on literal pedestals.

[@Nini-kc5ss]

@@BronyGaming-or8kv yea, i think that shows how he idolizes the event, which is just such a unique way of showing his style of coping.

[@theoriginalspur]

Bruh @30:24 Lupa scream killing me, but I understand. 😂😂😂

[@kgotlakgomokhumo1800]

The monkey scene actually shows a perspective of the Glenn character because he didnt look the monkey in the eyes, the reason he survived the attack is because he was staring at the weird shoe like the Alien you dont look it in the eyes. Thats the whole point of the monkey part

[@MatthewGhirardi]

The digestion scene is the most terrifying scene I’ve ever watched in the movie

[@EchanteDante]

This movie is one of my favorites!! The acting is next level…it truly felt like real people instead of a bunch of actors. The humor was so good and actually funny. Especially Keekee she was so so good in this movie. Also as someone who is interested in UFO’s or rather UAP’s this movie was soooo on point. I love how the movie transformed into different SCI fi genres as the movie went on in the same way the creature transformed as the movie went on. Also I understand the whole monkey bit now that someone explained it to me…with it having to do with humans obsession with spectacle especially violent ones and ones including wild animals under the belief that we have control but really they are wild animals/predators. All of that stuff was fine but I could have done without it or at least less of that and had more attempts at trying to catch the UFO/being on camera. Starting off as a mystery, then horror, then creature feature like jaws, then action adventure. Also they had the the footage from the camera as well as the old fashion photo in the well.

[@EggBoi_8]

Finally. I knew we would see a reaction of this movie from you and just waited for the day. Glad to catch another amazing reaction.

[@marywinchester1322]

42:37 "Disgusting!" It's just a towel with PC chip, lol. 😂

[@RetroLiminal99444]

One of the reasons why Jupe survived that massacre was because he wasn’t looking it in the eye and instead was focusing on the shoe and the yellow curtain was preventing the eye contact. That parallels to Jean Jacket the Alien.

[@onii-chan3041]

The connection between the monkey and Jupe is the fact that Jupe used to be a child actor and the kid that fist bumped the monkey was Jupe as a child. That's also why Jupe had a ton of collectable items from the set including the shoe that eerily stood up by itself. That's also the reason Jupe tried to befriend the "alien" thing.
