Jupe made the movie for me. I kinda saw him as the main character. How he described his trauma through the sketch. Gold.

I watched it and didn't quite understand how deep his character is until watching a few deep dives after, definitely central to everything

fr, it's him and OJ for me that are easily the most complex

Right! It makes me wonder if he's going to tackle Asian stories in the modern world next. They are so tight lipped about their true anguishes and hiding deep wounds it's killing their societies.

I kind of agree. The character is complex enough to feel under explored since the film focuses mostly on OJ and Em. Bare with me a moment...the character was a child star + monkey + his own theme park. He turns his childhood trauma into a career but winds up dying and destroying some families who came to his theme park. Does that remind you of anyone in real life? I think naming one character "OJ" in a film that wants to talk about exploitation is an obvious reference to OJ Simpson. The character "OJ" has nothing in common with OJ Simpson. Jupe on the other hand has many elements of another major figure of the 1990s. One who was alleged a victim before he became a victimizer. I also think that audiences are so conscious of race that they will never see that connection. I'm not entirely sure that Peele is conscious of it. There are rules in Hollywood, one of which is you don't make movies about certain things like the specific ways animals, children and women get exploited by some people. Peele does a great job of evoking these things but like the clouds in this film, you can see it or not see it. The character of Jupe is the most curious because we get just enough of him to make us wonder about the rest. People have compared the character to the real life actor who was in the Indian Jones series, Ke Huy Quan. I think that comparison comes from focusing on the race of the actors/character. If you ignore race you get a different answer; one that seems a much closer fit.

Yep 😬

The screaming. 😐

I saw it last night and all day today I was thinking about that part :(

Absolutely hellish.

Yeah that fucked me up

Knowing get out and us they know that it’s gonna be a hit

he owns monkey paw productions

He said "show me the money"

@@unmuchoproblem0 but he has distribution deals with universal

@@Mobbdeepp and that’s str8 fax no printer

I've yet to see the film but one of the few criticisms I seem to hear / read about is that the film may have too many layers? And that, if the film focused on just a few of these layers, it would be better. As you have seen the film, is the above comment a fair one?

@@McD5791 nah, I think people were just expecting a traditional horror movie and weren’t happy with how it turned out. it has nothing to do with the amount of layers it had, people just wanted to get scared and were disappointed by the third act. but this kinda goes in line with Jordan’s initial words in this video about having an inviting space for people who don’t like to watch scary movies. I think it was overall a beautiful film.

Same I loved the movie

I'm going to have to go see it now

Seriously, this movie is a masterpiece!! I just went and saw it for the second time. Need to go see it again in IMAX!!

a lot of work goes into a play as well but i get what ur saying

@@katrinamack444 theatre is no joke but a big film like this has a lot more technical work put into it

It ain’t that serious Timmy

From someone who works in the film industry. I think about this all the time! There’s a lot of work that goes into it but the beauty when it’s done is amazing.

Even a greater effort shooting with IMAX

i want the bts on how they did that scene SO BAD

@@hexbaby exactly! And just a little detail behind Jean’s anatomy

Dinner scene?

@@HLLTAF same, I'm like which scene do they mean??

What dinner scene you mean? The fish where dudes fighting outside?

Yes it was amazing! Jordan Peele can do it all.

@@RyannSettle2 fuckin scary movie I saw saw it today 😂😂😂😂

Same. I love all his movies so much

You’re damn right! Jordan Peele brought back that childhood fear of aliens to me while I was watching, my chest got heavy, I was anxious, I was lowkey having a panic attack.. I haven’t felt that since watching Signs when I was a kid!

Hell yea I remember I first learned about aliens at an early age incredible!

yesss!!! I had my mom write an excuse for me to skip class because I didn’t want to watch Apollo 11 😂 space freaked me out from the start

I agree. I loved the movie not because I found it remotely scary but because of how good the story was. I’ve never had a fear for UFO or extraterrestrial but I was very intrigued and engaged. I want to see where the story went and the cinematography was great as expected!

Duuuuudeeee saaaaaaammmmmeeeee

Absolutely agree. Loved it. Cannot wait to see it again

Yaaaaasssss....Jordan Peele, "He Did That" !!! #GreatDirector 💥

Crying?

@@NiqqaScience yeah only bc of the horses. I have 2 horses and to see them swooped up and sucked up like that was kinda sad.

THIS! thats why modern horror fails me but Peele has really brought back the roots. This gen's Hitchcock. Not to compare and contrast but Peele is carrying that torch.

I thought it was pretty neat that most of the jumpscares weren't actually that dangerous, their threat was superficial, the really scary parts of the film, where people are actually in danger/harm's way, we were shown pretty directly, made to look very personal and discomforting.

I'm still so incredibly shooketh by that scene. I saw it last night and legit couldn't sleep

that's so cool!

I hope it's a joke. The movie goes on too long in the first half and the tension disappears. In addition, the characters border too much on the line of the stereotype.

Haha kinda same here man. Made me feel pumped for the Cloverfield sequel. Great movie!

@@kevinboyprductions there's gonna be a new Cloverfield sequel?

@@Stoic_Poet Yes, Joe Barton is already working on the script

He does great work, for sure

Likewise!

@@kedrinmyers4963 he’s better than Tarantino 🤷‍♂️

Same 🙌🏾

@@kedrinmyers4963 he said his favourite, not the best.

Us was 3 years ago…. Man I love that film, I’m about to do a Jordan Peele rewatch!!! Lol

It’s not even horror?? As soon as they realize what’s terrorizing them, their only focus is making money from it

Oh Collin…how do you e en stay alive when you are so feeble

@@huh4206 psychologically scary its just suuupppper eerie, jordan knows how to play with sounds to give a different level of horror that’s subtle

@Vanessa thanks for letting us know! I hate jump scares being a non horror fan but I really want to support Jordan -eerie I can handle !

i had one while watching film😭 great experience though

THIS! Like just give us a good story that's not entirely centered around Black people being Black. We know we're Black lol. We just want creative stories like everyone else.

What is a black movie?

@@vaw2188 Menace 2 Society is a movie I could think of, off the top of my head. That's a black movie

@@lighthawk3720 I guess the question is how do you define a Black movie? Black characters? Since technically Nope would still fall under that umbrella. It feels weird to say the fact Peele didn’t make a “Black” movie speaks to his creative talent as if Black stories are easier to make? So I’m trying to understand what’s the definition of a “Black movie”

@@vaw2188 a movie that has a lot of black culture in it

Not Of Planet Earth

@@TwistedReality13 nope, it means nope

@@bigd4wg510 yea I noticed it was just a theory surrounding the word after that post.

Have you seen Jordan's other movies? If you like NOPE you'll love Get Out and Us! It's always great to branch out when watching movies, hope you find a lot you enjoy!

It's sad that that's a reasonable fear to have. I hope you have fun, Trisha

I always feel like this now since the dark knight especially with a movie like nope u know

I can’t stop thinking of certain scenes cause they disturbed me so much 😮

I guess it would be the scene when the crowd was going through the alien digestive tract?

The scenes where you hear weird noises in the background as the "ship" flys nearby stuck with me since now we know what those noises are

same...in Japan too..it's annoying trying to avoid spoilers when u gotta wait a whole month

NOPE

Facts

W

Can confirm, it good

@@FerociousPaul I already know I’m going watch it soon

some predators snap and other’s explode at the popping of a balloon

@@hexbaby I guess I missed that, thanks for pointing out. I guess its a parallel to Gordy's freakout

🤨 Really?

@@cvcvcvcvcv yup, what i said hasn't changed.
