I’ve never felt so disturbed in a movie theatre my whole life

Snowflake

You two must be in early teens?

@@alexanderv.8961 mid thirties actually. It was just a fucked up scene.

I felt the same. What didn’t help is I watched it in IMAX. Just the idea of being eaten alive was always a disturbing thing to me. Seeing all those bodies fly into its mouth and then seeing internal shots of the people screaming in agony really shook me, especially considering how loud IMAX is.

It's one of those things where it's like really? The film should have ended with the brother's sacrifice and she leaves and has the creature on film. The ending was really bad imo.

@@MetroidPurples but how would she catch it on film without going to the well tho no electronics work around it remember and it died the same way monkey died in the flashback that’s how he tied the UFO and Gordy together, that ending would make the movie worse

@@Smoothjayjay The well is pure coincidence and Gordy never died to a balloon pop, they shot him in the head.

@@Smoothjayjay no lol the Monkey scene could have been taken out completely and the movie would have been the same

@@MuchCow9000 eh, "lol", no it wouldn't have. The Gordy story is meaningful to Jupe's character arc and one of the film's messages.

The noise was the worst part

@@nicobenji0248 best*

F ifipg

Me too hearing people scream knowing they’re getting digested was horrifying

@@gavinbeard4026 yeah when we saw that girl being eaten that was terrifying

True cuz the green square thing is like it’s mouth and it was basically baring it’s teeth at him

Wow! Very nice catch!

That is a great explanation of what its doing. Peele Does his research.

Also it was going apeshit at the moment like gordy did that's why it was ignoring the flags. You can just before that that it attacks their house sucking up inorganic material, at the moment it's out to get them it's not a monkey that'll dance for them for a shot.

The alien doesn’t attack OJ for the same reason the ape doesn’t attack Steven Yeun’s character, they both avoided eye contact. Everyone else that does make eye contact was attacked which is why Keke’s character uses the giant balloon with the huge eyes. OJ also uses he pulls his hoody up to lure the alien since it had 2 reflectors on the back of the hood that looked like eyes.

Ngl, that would've been a great ending.

Man you gotta go see it for yourself

Nah that would make it a 10

That's would be hilarious. Camera just pans away from the two characters, slowly

Would be even better if they said Nope, and then the credits rolled. Cinemasins would love that.

Nah she meant to kill it.She knew that it hated plastic because of the rubber flap string things it refused to eat.

@@lochofmceo The strings were most likely just symbolism for the audience. I doubt she thought just because it had 4 strings, that the big inflatable balloon was gonna kill it. Plus, it doesn't really match the theme. One theme the movie touches on is how animals and nature are made a spectacle, even if it hurts them. For example, the chimp died, horses get stressed (hundreds of horses died on set of ben hur for example). But they don't necessarily kill these animals on purpose, they just don't care about their well being, they just care about the money. They leave precaution to the wind. Emerald was the same way, she wanted a picture, not even thinking about the risk that she could hurt the alien.

@@lochofmceo no the strings would have made it not eat it. The giant balloon was a person shape with an eye. So it looked like the balloon was looking at the monster. The pressure from that size balloon killed it.. whether by accident or purpose

@@PMTCards I agree with that

@@johnsonjunior547 *Nope!* She absolutely meant to kill it.

That's what OJ says, the flags got trapped on its windpipe. the big one blocked it to the point it blew up.

That true

@@TravelsTTG a deleted scene shows that the creature actually survived. Because Jordan Peele convinced Universal to make a sequel reportedly saying "This is the start of something new."

@@TravelsTTG Peele wants to explore Jean Jackets origins in a sequel. "There might be other members of Its species." He said.

@@JohnJohn-pe5kr that would be cool. Yeah to me it didn't look completely dead, so it leaves the ending opened to it escaping injured.

Good explanation. Didn’t look at it that way.

To the point where the chance of going viral is more important than all of humanity. Referring to the part before they enact the plan and the Fry guy is asking, "This is gonna help ppl right? This is why we're doing this?" And they basically respond, yeeeah suuure.

@@ChitoBandito6 I think the Fry guy represents most of us, he wants to get in just enough to see the truth for himself, until he realizes what he got himself into after digging deeper, then finally begins to question if what he is doing is for a good cause. Good interpretation

Very interesting reading. I saw it more like the whole point behind cinema is to capture or immortalize the beauty of our reality and maybe it came about from the irresistible urge someone had to show the world something they saw with their own eyes

except that makes no sense. because why would people believe this over any other supposed ufo video.

I agree, balloons like that being popped would generate a lot of force. It's effectively a bomb at that point.

Horses go down with bloat, if left untreated. I feel like Jeanjacket is also some type of more than one stomach creature. So imagine jellfish-like plus helium gas, makes some sense, the "poof" ending.

The filmmaker part was dumb. But I agree with the balloon

Rapidly expanding gas in closed space killed the monster.

well it torr its ass throat thats for aure

We see the film canister drop out though I think the footage survived.

@@josuepena269 when?I doubt it wasn't broken.The whole point of that section was that they lost all the footage.That's why Em used to the camera in that well to get the shot.

@@lochofmceo I read it more as she thought Angel and the camera man were dead and they needed another shot of the monster.

@@lochofmceo drops when angel rolls down the hill after he wraps himself in barbwire and manages to not get eaten.

@@josuepena269 I figured that camera was broken from the fall.Cameras not that tough .And they said something about that being their last camera and he looked at it disappointed,

I think the cinematographer was sick because he was taking those meds. Maybe he was going to die soon and wanted this to be his legacy?

ya that was exactly my understanding. wonderful metaphor how everyone is chasing the next viral clip and no longer care about the people being harmed in front of the camera to the point he only wanted to record himself then be saved

In order to convey that message, you need realistic subtilty. By making him an over the top fake version (let's be real, these cowardly Hollywood directors would risk their lives for nothing), it failed in that regard. That being said, I thought the movie overall was a solid 8 but that was the biggest disappointment of the movie for me, with the TMZ reporter's over the top attitude a close second.

Bunch of people falling over backwards to get chewed up by ever hungry industry for that one cool moment of fame... That's Hollywood, baby.

@@greasyguido I was disappointed about the use of the TMZ guy as well, until I realized that maybe that character is a blanket representation of TMZ as a whole organization, not just the individual itself, hence the over the top arrogance and stupidity. That to me makes it all make more sense.

You're reaching. The message would have still came across without the monkey scene

@@andrewprosser9995 the message of why this actor was willing to put everyone’s life in danger and provide horses to the UFO for 6 months? Doubtful. We also got different comparisons. Jupiter’s take away from an animal outburst on a film set, and OJ’s take away from an animal outburst on a film set. It worked.

@@andrewprosser9995 the monkey scene shows the audience what triggered his idea that he’s special and can understand animals/nature. Gordy wasn’t immediately murking him like everyone else so this feeling transferred with this giant alien where he felt he was the chosen one

@@andrewprosser9995 if he's reaching, and he's not, then I would say you have your arms tied behind your back. Not reaching but also bound to misunderstanding.

@@theconsciousobserver6829 nah he's definitely reaching which he is. and if you don't think so then I'd say you must be missing your arms.

Spot on analysis! I would even tie it in with the first motion-picture the Haywoods great-great grandfather was apart of, as Emerald mentions only the director of that was remembered and placed into the legacy of motion pictures, not the unnamed horse-jockey. I think thats what the cinematographer wanted to do, capture the impossible shot regardless if he dies, his legacy will remain for capturing that final shot of getting beamed up. He probably even knew the alien would spit out the food it didnt want (aka the camera equipment)

I took his “dream you don’t wake up from” speech to mean she’d always be chasing that dream, not as a warning of danger. Remember, at that point he didn’t know about the alien

Sometimes you just want a movie to be a movie

@@randomanton For fucking real

@@randomanton What do you mean? I guess I don’t understand what you’re saying.

Yeah ngl they were kind of overreacting about it, seems like he just wanted an average action movie ending

And because of its winking facial expression, I think it would have been perceived by the alien to be looking at it.

@@calebfoster1832 yep

@@juna8572 exactly lol

Well, not just the flags. She used to balloon to traumatize the alien to not eat humans like how the metal horse traumatized it from not eating horses anymore. Though, yes, the flags would help it associate the trauma of the two instances. It's not so much about the flags, but the things attached to it, the flags are just an indicator.

I think he was trying to get footage from inside? Felt kinda stupid of him, but who knows at that point

The “Impossible shot”. He was the prey and he tried was recording it from his perspective. He was always watching films of predictors killing their prey but never never the other way around, ultimately it ended up getting him killed in the end.

@@prodtgnd he did get the perfect shot though, and im positive the movie told us dude was already out the door, at least that was my impression before that scene happened.

The balloon at the end also had huge eyes so i think thats what compelled jean jacket to eat it, saw it as a threat especially a big one imposing on its territory

The point of the shoe ties into the idea of a bad miracle which was brought up earlier in the film. A strange miraculous happening among a terrible situation. That’s not necessarily what distracted Jupe. If you want to go with the eye contact idea, the sheer table cloth was in between Gordy and him. That could have been what kept the eye contact from becoming a problem. The main point of the monkey scene and what makes it so tragic, aside from the idea of the nature of a beast, is that this moment made Jupe develop a god complex. He felt an almighty sense from being “spared” by Gordy that it would develop in to the same almighty sense that would make him think the alien wouldn’t eat him. He thought he could tame it just as he thought Gordy was tame to him. That hubris guided his life and got him killed.

So, I would say the entire purpose of the back story with Gordy is to establish the tragedy of Jupe, and why he is doing what he is doing. The way it ties into the rest of the film is the idea that Gordy is a beast. Jean Jacket is a beast. A threatened and cornered animal will fight. Just as Gordy felt threatened causing him to go berserk, Jean Jacket feels threatened. Our greed caused us to try to tame Gordy to become a spectacle, animal actor that eventually caused deaths. Jupe’s greed causes him to try and monetize the experience of seeing the alien. Many died. Oj and Em’s greed was them staying around trying to get footage to become rich. But ultimately, this is just an animal and our greed doesn’t allow us to tame nature.

I’m confused I thought you’re supposed to NOT look away from an animal that is hunting you. They not to show your back to lions, wolfs, tigers, etc..

@@mitchellbrinkerdp but why did Jean jacket decide to eat him now? When he’s been feeding it for 6 months? That part I didn’t get. To me I seemed like this was first time he was seeing it.

Yes!! That’s good!

Good take! It Does act like it’s taking the “perfect shot” or “kill shot”. Much like the humans were trying to do as well.

Jupe even calls it "the viewers" during his show I think.

This is good stuff here

Jordan will read these comments and be thinking I've got them all messed up! Ha ha!!!

You know this is an interesting take and I’d say I agree!

Dude 100%

Maybe. Its really one of two things that are hinted within the movie. Its symbolism for a bad miracle (they mention a bad miracle in the movie). The shoe standing miracle was caused by the bad event of the chimp killing everyone. Then he turns that bad miracle into a way to make money (that couple who stayed in the room for 60k). And he gets carried away in his hubris after the chimp incident, and wants to make money from the Alien by making it a spectacle (which is most likely Peele's antonym for miracle). It can also symbolize how Jupes focuses on the wrong things. He wasn't watching the chimp murder, he was looking at the shoe, even in his PTSD memories, he remembers the shoe a lot more than other things. The same way that he focuses on the that miracle (which will give him money/fame), instead of the alien itself, which further would lend himself to create a spectacle of the alien. He was focused more on the money than the fact that there was an alien right in front of him. Me, personally, I lend myself to the first one more.

The shoe in that position is showcasing that the character is an unreliable narrator. He remembers that flash back, specifically the shoe in the same position as it is in his mini museum. He has a warped memory of the event that plays into his delusion. But I like that people can see the same thing in this movie and have different takes from it.

@@superfinevids I would agree with you except at the beginning of the film they show the same scene and the shoes is also standing up. For him to be an unreliable narrative the film would’ve shown his perspective and what really happened. The scene with the aftermath of Gordy is shown at the beginning and during the flashback, in both scenes the shoe was standing up.

I thought the pacing was great

I thought the pacing was great

I have never seen night-shots done like this in any other movie, just amazing. One of my favourite movies I have seen in a cinema.

@@atmbcito the sound design is top of the line and is what realllly sold me on this more then anything aside from being a good movie. i have 7.1 and so much of the movie was focused on the surround track. i have my satellites ceiling mounted like a movie theater and it was so fucking nuts hearing all the noises it made in the distance alongside the screams. like right off the bat moments before it started raining a woman's purse you hear her scream from left to right overhead it freaked me out at first. i thought it came from upstairs. you can hear all the little crunches, squishes, screams etc right above your head it makes the tension nearly palpable at times. another was when it sat right above the van and everything was really quite making you think its gone but you can hear it breathing. super subtle but menacing, probably wouldn't have even heard it if i wasn't watching it loud with surround. if nothing else this movie is a must own for dolby atmos enthusiasts

@@zeroa69 yuhhhhhhh that sounds fire

Yeah the tech guy wrapped himself in barbed wire specifically to protect himself against being eaten, right?

@@calebfoster1832 That's what I thought and thought that's how they were going to kill it. But, it turns out it ended up being used to tie him down to the ground to get from being eaten in the first place.

@@jase276 That makes sense.

That's interesting I thought he ate some of the wire and got hurt and that's how it turned into full attack mode. Because why did it change after that scene

@@DetroitsReaper That's what I was thinking while I was watching the movie. I thought he got tangled in barbed wire when he rolled down the hill, was shown trying to untangle himself, then the monster tried to eat him but got hurt, triggering the transformation. But I came across someone pointing out he was actually wrapping himself in barbed wire, and that made more sense. Tethering himself to the ground and covering himself in sharp wire to prevent being eaten makes the most sense. Either way, I think the monster was angry afterwards and that's what made it transform.

I kind of thought it was an angry angry parachute

I dunno, in my experience the sound in a Dolby Theater is much superior to IMAX(more channels and use of directional audio).

@@theoneders2056 Yeah it very well might be I'm not sure. IMAX is the best I got near me but I definitely want to visit a Dolby theater one day.

@@bigblackbear4234 yeah that makes sense, I was on the same boat. Only had IMAX near me so it's all I knew. Once I went to Dolby theater at AMC, IMAX just felt so inferior in terms of immersion. Sure the screen is larger but Dolby theater has dual 4k projectors, rumbling chairs, Atmos surround and the picture quality is so good.

I wanted to acknowledge this as well, I was in a cheap theater however I can still give praise to the use of sound to really add to the horror and suspense. The foot steps of Gordy in the background and the pounding, and tearing of flesh made it disturbing. Sometimes not showing the acts and leaving it up to the imagination to run wild just made it more chilling. So even though you knew the child would survive you still felt worried. I’d probably be traumatized if I saw that scene in IMAX or Dolby

Amc Dolby cinema has the best sound and picture quality

great description!

Damn didn't even realize that. Wow wee. I got a another one for you about the shoe, but I'm waiting to upload to my channel 😘

@@theconsciousobserver6829 The standing shoe one might have several connotations. One of which being tied into the “bad miracle” (which OJ talks about) that with the Gordy situation, its such a horrifying tragedy but the shoe manages to stand upright. The other being, it was the one thing young Jupe ended up focusing on, basically removing any eye-contact with Gordy during his rampage on the set.

She literally says that it will fuck it through creature under her breath. Did you even watch the movie?

@@theconsciousobserver6829 I'm also gonna do a whole ass video on just the shoe lmao it'll be interesting to see the similarities

I didn't think of the man v nature aspect when watching, though I can see where you're coming from. I thought of it as more about how quick we are to turn things into spectacle and how this can come with bad outcomes. These characters learn that aliens exist. We don't see them act surprised, and it's not because of poor direction I don't think, but because of the message behind the film. What do they do when faced with this horrifying discovery of a literal cosmic horror? They try to capture the spectacle. When Jupe's show is upended by a chimp mauling everyone, what happens? It's turned into spectacle. When he discovers the alien, what happens? He turns it into a spectacle. When they do finally capture it on film, the cinematographer wants even better shots for a better spectacle. And the pursuit of that spectacle results in a lot of death. I think that's the message/commentary/metaphor behind it, an exploration of the horror associated with that trend of turning tragedy into spectacle. Idk.

I think the balloon killed it because it was a very large helium balloon that exploded inside the creature. As far as the flags, I think the characters more or less noted in the movie that things like the long stream of flags probably get caught up in its digestive tract.

The fact you need to write a small story to make it make a little sense just proves its wrong

@@JP_LDN582 Lol except thats the real story (in reference to his comment to himself). A huge theme of the movie is making a spectacle. You can take top tier movies and books, and write even more words than the book has. Many authors or directors put their all into adding symbolism/imagery/subtext/themes so the audience can work through it and think of what it all means. The fact that you're only response is "the fact you need to write a small story so it makes a little sense..." means you don't have much experience with film or books. You most likely view everything at a surface level.

Well it should have done what most animals would do and regurgitate it and throw up the balloon.

I wanted it to be actually aliens, I lost interest after finding that out...

Lame

Lol that’s a cool perspective. It was sort of like jaws in a way.

@@mroctober3583 great conversation, glad you really proved your point.

I also think he wanted a shot of it from the inside, he knew that it couldn't digest the camera and would eventually throw it back up. Plus you don't die right away when it eats you, he kept rolling the camera while he was being swept up and probably while he was in there too. The "shot of a life time" wouldn't have just been to see it from the outside, but the inside too. Now they have footage of what it did to its victims. It's hard to fake an unbroken shot like that, near impossible even. It couldn't be done unless it's completely in CGI with a multi million dollar budget. That strip of film is now irrefutable proof/evidence of the alien

He was already dying from some unnamed disease, this was him deciding to go out in a blaze of glory for the art he devoted his life towards. Mad respect.

I really liked the Northman aswell. Maybe Amsterdam will be great and Avatar 2 ofc. Overall not the worst year in cinematography xD I'm not even counting all that Marvel bullshit I've watched this year, while these movies are fun to watch, they are as replaceable as the next one.

@@TimmySquibs She knew the balloon would hurt it, true. But I don't think she realized it would ultimately kill Jean. I interpreted it as more of an insane, but helpful, accident lmao

The attack made total sense. I don’t understand how looking at the creature made it attack? If it’s attacking because it’s hungry why does it care? And given how big it is, how does it see human eyes looking at it? Lots of problems with the creature. But the balloon ending made more sense then a lot of the other things going on.

@@Hesadryt Because in order for the humans to look at it, they would literally have to face it, and facing it is seen by the creature as a confrontation. It eats when it's hungry, it also attacks when it's being confronted.

@@Kellicros but it’s a giant thing. How does it see when a human is specifically facing it? Can we tell when an ant is looking at us?

@@Hesadryt Because it has eyes? It's a fictional creature, I find it strange you would rather question how it sees than how it flies. However, it makes more sense to compare how eagle sees its preys than how human sees the ants, human eyes are very limited compared to many other animals.

@@Kellicros The eagle sees the whole pray surely, it doesn't "know" the creature is looking at it from 100 meters off. Again size comparison, sure an eagle could probably tell if a similar size creature/or bigger were looking at it... but a shrew? No way haha. It's just a silly thing to have put in the movie. And they were luring it out because it was hungry, but then it decides not to eat him because he doesn't look at it? The inflatable at the end was the only thing I believed it could've seen as actually looking at it.

What sucks more than being eaten alive? Being swallowed whole and slowly digested

I agree..? I took it as him trying to dig out possible details he didn't include in his perspective that was building up his score. You have bit childish perspective on how people are usually. Being an asshole is more serious if you do it to someone... As an adult you can't do much at all, but if you have wings of made out of money then you might be able to keep your childish take on how to be with people, but to have your life transition with so much care that you don't think there is any other perspective going with other people would probably require private schooling and such. Basic income levels or climbing up from there to any better level still hardens, inures, or just toughens you up so that you are going to act up with people you are around with. That comes with when you realize that school provides nothing, and that you have taken a step on a line where your parents stand also. Maybe you don't have that realization come up in words, but it slows you down as you can see people waiting for manners at least with possible payments for them helping you. I guess people who fly up in the sky may fall down,if they rise up like Icarus, but that is just a story, which is just a fantasy. I became to look at these things when I got out from primary school, and got to join board game group by accidentally finding it. It was borrowing space from some public youth facility most of the people there were older than me, with few younger kids. I guess this experience etched it into my mind that people stop being overly confident and flying around with wings when they realize that their parents didn't really provide them that much, and now they have to come with something that could provide to more than one person. Still people are more into following orders, as society and civilization is quite impressive mark born out of human resources and their work. Which also seems to provide cover for others? You either just drop into that simple line, or start digging into finding out cheeky places where you can fish out bigger payouts, or be like me who is almost like the first one, but had poor mother and drunk dad, so only reliable advice came from my mind... My fantasies..? When I was 10 to 12 years old I played Roblox, and was inspired by someone making videos there, and ICTON who had bunch of funny videos made on Gmod, also not forgetting about DasBoSchitt. So I thought I could continue to studying for becoming media-assistant, which didn't let me in, because I think I wrote something about a bird that wasn't right, even if I didn't mean to say anything special with it. I mean I was flabbergasted that they didn't let me in. So I came to see that there is not a single pointer pointing out to anywhere, and school really didn't help me out at all. Fairness became more foreign idea for me. So I began to wonder what is this system coming out of people, and is it living on its own? You can see that it isn't living on its own when you look anywhere in media. Reflections of expectations, or images trying to lead us. If you take a step to any other direction you can see contrasts popping up, but like they said that you can't even take it as real when NASA published UFO sightings, so how you can take it as real to see these or those opinions? Head of that spear is politics and great estrade proving us that something is going on? As these questions are answered, at least in some way, some in appalling way, it keeps people in place when they think they have spent their years for this study or gained experience for this position, and then they take so much more for it and almost turning themselves into stone in the process. So everything sets in place as people are being lead there, and not really being taught anything. And anyone else who seemingly has more space to work only follow their parents at best, and then leave for either to something they pointed out, or something else they think has value. What is freedom? Big brother is always looking and has done it as long as there has been any kind of civilization. If you don't have manners you are going to be shunned, and some religions stone you for things not fit, and that just spices up the fact how serious it is for one to be shunned even in the first place.

@@JNelsonArt no. They show him turning his head. He doesn't look at him again until the monkey goes for the first bump

That's a good interpretation. I just assumed the final popping of the balloons snapped the monkey out of his rage. Because the monkey was trying to nudge the dead people it was familiar with and was looking distraught that they were dead until it notices the kid.

It’s a bad miracle

The show was a bad miracle. It was an odd occurrence that took jups eyes off the money thus saving his life when the monkey came face to face with him under the table ( going back to not looking predatory animals in the eye )

Personally, I think it might have been the sudden change in pressure when the balloon popped that killed it.

"We don't deserve the impossible" is what he said. He realized the impossible shot is the one you literally could not get unless you died for it. Which he did thus earning and deserving the impossible. He knew the footage would survive and it did. He kept filming until it was literally impossible for him to do so. I wish at the end credits there was a compilation of all the footage they got of jean jacket culminating in those last frames the girl got at the well, kind of like her greatX4 grandpa whose footage was also just a couple of pictures stitched together.

Word. The line about the light was pretty cool to me. It was a reference to golden hour when the sun is going down. During this time, lighting changes so drastically every minute on camera, so many directors kind of get into this “we have to shoot this now ASAP” mentality. It was like everything in his life lead to this moment and the sun itself was telling him to get the mf shot.

“They don’t deserve the impossible.” Is what he said because he wanted to claim the shot for himself.

Love that nobody can come to an agreement about that character's ridiculous actions. By this point, I'm inclined to think that Peel himself didn't bother to put much thought into that scene when he wrote it.

@@windowsVD "I'm inclined to think that Peel himself didn't bother to put much thought into that scene when he wrote it." Wut? Dude realized the impossible shot was from the perspective of the prey being killed by the predator. If you're not willing to die for it, you don't deserve it. How are you gonna say Peel devoted screen time to something he didn't put much thought into?!

Alex is your classic white man who is a pessimist. Double Toasted has their white pessimist in Chris, it just comes with the body. Disagree with everyone and everything as much as possible. White mans real burden is the lack of human consciousness.

He was either having ptsd from the chimp incident, or he was thinking that he alien would try to treat him with kindness the way the chimp had. I don’t think he’d ever actually been that close to it until that point, but figured it knew he was the one leaving the horses for it since it just hovered and observed all day. Also, in a way he did have a major role since him feeding it was the reason the alien stuck around in the area

It seemed like Steven wanted to die to me. Maybe he had survivor's guilt or maybe something else awoke in him, unfinished business since the monkey got shot before he could fist bump it, who really knows but Peele, right? That being said, Steven didn't put two and two together because he doesn't train animals. He's a city boy playing cowboy. But the brother and sister actually grew up on a ranch and have trained/broken in animals since childhood so they know how to treat a wild animal. Well, at least the brother did as shown by the flashbacks of his father's wise words.

Fr I wish he had another pivotal scene or something

@@jase276 yeah i can also see it being something like him having ptsd from the whole monkey thing so he just froze and watched, just like he did when the monkey was killing everyone so its understandable, just thought an actor like that would play more of a role

ya the trailers made it feel he was major he's in it less than 5 minutes lol.

so many theories no actual proof to know what’s true about the film or not 🤷🏽‍♂️. Is it just me or do directors take that “let the audience decide thing” as a lazy crutch?

I know people that don't like pulp fiction, it what it is amigo, don't worry about it

Oh I understand what it's trying to say, I just thought it was an incredibly shot, beautifully edited, interminably dull movie. What did you like about it?? It wasn't suspenseful, there was like one tense scene in the barn and that was it. Really no plot to the movie, and the characters make ridiculous decisions throughout. I constantly found myself checking the time, because it just dragged on and on.

Why did people like "me" rip this movie apart you ask? Because 1: there is no story in this movie, all the shit peele shows you leads to nothing, no reason for it, just to make you say wtf was that about. 2: where did this creature come from? Are there more like it? Why is it on earth eating shit? 3: how did it shut things down just from being around them when it itself is an organic creature that eats and shits? 4: why did it attack the balloon after realizing it hated the flags? 5: why did the movie give up this twist like half way through and make you hate the premise? So many unanswered questions to this massive hunk of shit movie... I left the theater wanting my money back homie. This movie was a disaster, even if people like you and most of the people in these comments think that it was brilliant with its messaging, I thought that was trash too bruh...

@@calebbonebrake6486 I agree with you 💯

@@calebbonebrake6486 This is for Todd as well. I think you are both wrong. That's fine. Just because you did not understand the story does not mean it doesn't have one. This film has a very clear structured plot and story that deals with a lot of themes. Just because you didn't understand the relevancy of Gordy or Steven Yeun's character doesn't mean that they are pointless or stupid. This movie is very clear on what it has to say about how our obsession with spectacle can hurt us, or how hubris can be our downfall. These are things that the entire Gordy and Yeun plotlines dealt with that tie into the wider story of the film. Jordan Peele stated in an interview that one of the inspirations for this film is the idea that, when there is an accident, traffic starts to slow down and build up because everyone gets pre-occupied with trying to look at the accident. That is idea of us being so invested in seeing a spectacle that it holds us back, or in the case of this film... gets people killed. Literally the entire plot is about trying to film the alien to get "the Oprah shot" and look at what happens to everyone trying to chase that. If you can't make these connections, then I don't know what to tell you. Also, to criticize this movie for not being scary or suspenseful is silly because it is not a horror movie. It is a blockbuster and a thriller in the same vein as Jaws. This is something the director has stated MANY times, so you are literally criticizing the film for being something it is not. It is fine if the movie wasn't for you, but it is so annoying when you don't like a movie and decide to keep saying that its objectively garbage. Just say it wasn't for you and sit down. Hating things isn't counterculture. It is boring. Very, very boring.

Would’ve been a better & more powerful callback to the footage of the first black man filmed on a horse. They remembered the person who filmed it but not the rider.

Nah too many movies end with a sibling or parent dying. Need something different. His death wouldn’t add any depth …

@@Hinokami777 naw u wrong. It would of added a lot of depth 🤷🏽‍♂️

They didnt want photos… they wanted footage.

@@stunnah26 The pic in the well?

@@youonlyliveonce12ish It wasn't ideal but she took a series of photos. What's footage? A series of photos, someone noted it's a callback to their great great whatever greats grandfather's first film.

But didn’t he say we don’t deserve this shot

Its okay we can admit it bro. Just badly written

Plus the balloon is huge and popping it inside an enclosed space like that would cause damage

The metal horse stopped it from eating horses so it moved onto humans. The siblings were trying to "break it in" i.e. stop it from attacking/eating humans. So she used the human shaped balloon to traumatize it from not eating humans like the metal horse did. So, whether it's alive or dead, it won't be eating anymore humans because it's a dumb af animal. I'm sure there's a tie in to the monkey going crazy from the balloons popping.

@@jase276 it was eating humans before that. We know this because how the dad died. I believe the monkey scene was just showing how anything can set an animal off also to tie in Jupiter’s whole reasoning behind trying to train it. It’s definitely dead tho and I don’t believe the metal horse traumatized it because it’s explained that the flags are what freaked it out.

Thank you someone finally said it.

No she meant to kill it

Jude (the child actor who survived the monkey attack) was continuously feeding Jean Jacket with the horses he purchased from OJ. The creature settled into the area and considered it its territory since it could always get a free meal. It's a predator, and this is its TERRITORY. Of course, it will get territorial eventually as predators in our world constantly do. Also, the movie implies Jean was killing many people during this "6-month break" and is merely being covered up by the authorities. We see this in one of the first scenes of the film where a news report shows a group of hikers went missing, AKA got eaten. They even stated that the entire area the OJ's ranch resides in doesn't appear properly on google maps, further indicating certain people know of Jean's existence and are only hiding the truth from the rest of the public. All of it made sense to me based on the information we were given. The only thing we don't know is where Jean came from, but the movie can function well regardless of that fact.

@@tarantinoburrows1406 if the authorities are covering it up, we really should’ve seen them operating in the area. I’m sure they didn’t include them because the authorities would’ve had guns and tried shooting the alien at some point during the climax, which would’ve worked really well, rendering the whole ending pointless. The more people try to convince me the movie works without hanging on the subtext, the more I find things that definitely wouldn’t have happened in real life. People don’t just shrug off plane crashes, talking about the first scene. Many people would’ve looked into flight plan records and seen there was no plane, and the story would have happened totally differently. The movie is only fine if you’re thinking about the subtext and turn your brain off to how the government and military actually operate

@@christiankettlewell Nothing I mentioned was related to subtext though. No, I don't think if a plane crashed/disappeared, everyone's first response would be that it was because of an alien. The skeptics might look into it but I doubt that's the conclusion they'd come to. And most of them would probably come up dry anyway considering the lengths officials are going through to keep the incidents under wraps. Plus, what would be the purpose of including that in the movie to begin with? The story is taken from OJ and his sister's perspective. And even if the government really did send an armed battalion to subdue the creature or people to monitor the area then everyone would know something strange is going on, which is the last thing they'd want. Also, as I already stated, they blurred the entire region on google maps which indicates they are aware of the phenomenon (Jean Jacket) and just aren't explicitly certain of what it is or how to locate/kill it. It's fine to not like the movie, but don't act like it's crap because you didn't understand it...

@@tarantinoburrows1406 what would be the purpose of including it? Because that’s how reality would happen. If you want me to suspend my disbelief and accept an alien is stalking a mountainside, you need to have a good explanation why authorities are covering up all the blood and debris that would be *everywhere*, for *miles* if it was eating people for months. There would be hundred, if not thousands, of missing person reports/cases being filed with last known locations alllll around that area. The United States Military would be all over that place immediately and would’ve kicked all civilians out to figure out what was happening, to say the least. The fact Peele ignored that for his “spectacle story” is ultimately fine, but I can’t turn my brain off to that degree. But whatever, enjoy the movie. It’s fine you like something I think is bad.
