I think what really sold me on this film was how the creature never was depicted as evil or purposely strategic. It really was an otherworldly monster just instinctually hunting. Even the music makes you feel almost majestically epic watching this legendary creature react to the balloon.
But at the same time, it killed with malice. For example, after swallowing the 40 guests from the show, it kept them alive for hours before squishing them to death. But when it swallowed the biker, it killed him in a couple minutes (using his screams inside as a way to get O.J to look up at it and then crushing him when it realized O.J wasn't taking the bait). It can kill quickly if it wants, or it can drag out your demise for hours or possibly days. Therefore, I think it shows a hint of malevolence
@@InfamousWolf89 I believe those people were alive because it swallowed the horse statue, thus making it difficult to fully digest them. While the biker was eaten quickly as there was nothing blocking the way.

Not quite, it uses ionic propulsion, this is why the electronics shut down, the balloon popped because Jean jacket tried to squeeze it into his small digestive flaps
My favorite part about this scene is that the alien is hesitant to eat the balloon at first. After eating the plastic horse statue, it starts treating anything marked with the kite pennants as inedible, as seen when it stops trying to eat OJ while they tried getting evidence of it existing. This balloon is human shaped, meaning it’s shaped like food, but it’s also covered in those kite pennants, which are a warning sign of inedibility to the alien. It hesitates at first… but then decides to eat it anyways, because something that big is too tempting. It didn’t know to just go “nope.”
@@Liamzilla4777 the balloon was human in appearance and it was ‘looking’ right at the alien, not to mention it floated into the sky, the aliens ‘habitat’ so it probably not only saw it as a big ol snack, but was probably also hella pissed it was up in its yard 🤣

Really liked how the alien wasn't some suepr intelligent species but actually a wild animal from another world doing what animals do. Edit: thanks for all the likes
At the very least it shows comparable intelligence to something like a wolf or a wildcat, it remembers faces, it harbors grudges, and if it understands this, than it also understands the pain it enacts on its victims, and revels in it. A cruel beast doing horrible things entirely on purpose.
@@jadivods Animals don't have the same kind of compassion as humans, as most animals do not have as complex a brain as we do nor would it serve them any purpose. In the wild world it is survival of the fittest, many animals will even kill and eat their own species.
@Jadimatic I agree with the first half, but the second half of your comment undermines the first. The only animals capable of acting purely on malicious intent and “reveling” in it would be human beings. While some animals are definitely more complex than others, they all operate purely on instinct/emotion. There’s no moral code they abide by and to project such things onto animals is an unhealthy mindset to have.
@@jadivods Identifying threats and showing dominance are absolutely not limited to sapient creatures like humans. It doesn't "revel" in pain at any point in the movie. It quickly devours most of its prey, except for the audience, which it was swallowing slowly because it literally had plastic jammed up its throat.
A thing I find interesting. The ending of an alien horror movie set in a “western town” ends with what feels like a classic cowboy duel, the cowboy ballon even seems to shoot down the monster in their “duel” they both pause to look at each other in an initial stare down as well. Just a thing I notes. Honestly the good the bad and the ugly theme was playing in my head during this scene.
It’s also poetic that the first time it’s mouth is shown (apart from credits) it is eating Ricky, and the last time it’s eating a cartoon depiction of Ricky
Plus a balloon caused Gordy to snap then he was put down and shot if you look closely right before the balloon pops the finger gun the Ballon is making points directly at the eye 👉 👁
Such unique and impressive creature design. So many monsters and aliens are so derivative. It’s hard to even describe this thing to someone who hasn’t seen this.
You can hear it scream in terror as it choked on the Ballon like all those people did too its quite fitting once you think about it it ate and tortured its prey needlessly and in its final moments it was confused in pain and scared for its life from something it doesn't understand
@@noahs9220 it didn’t do anything bad though. It’s a wild creature. It was just doing what it was supposed to do. Jupe was the one that got all those people eaten
@@familyphotoshoot2413 that's a good catch. When you zoom in on the shot where she's collecting the tokens, they clearly have a horseshoe on one side. But still I doubt those tokens would cost more than a dollar.
I just got around to watching this film last night. Some of the best cinematography in this genre of movie. What a twist that the ship itself was just the alien in disguise. Also, it felt otherworldly rather than generic alien/monster. Oh and im glad Jordan Peele finally got to do his Akira slide! I definitely geeked out during the moment.
When I first saw this movie I thought that JJ changed it form because it was breaking apart after eating an entire house, but now I realize that it was actually incredible pissed off and was trying to look more menacing
Same here. I thought Jean Jacket was falling apart because of the barb wire and the siren-like roar it made had me thinking it was dying since most dying monsters kinda make that sound before death.
It's actually because it's flaring, it didn't start doing that only until it consumed the barbed wire and it ripped its insides that it perceived the humans as a threat That created an instinctual response to begin flaring, that's what it's doing with the green thing. + Flaring at the balloon as it's a similar size to it so it saw it as an unknown threat
It was pretty cathartic! It was a moment of victory, but the way she said it also carried pain and loss, so I think it was a great line t wrap that scary story up with.
Same here, it was a relief, you were at the edge of your seat not sure what's really going to happen. Seeing it be destroyed and he cheer that was so raw and real. Not like the movie type "hurayyy". Hers was real, out of desperation, fear, rejoice and disbelief
How wrong her father was to always leave her out. She's smart and resourceful and also open where OJ was closed off. Together her and her brother would have been - and ended up being - invincible.
That ripple effect it does with the green square is mesmerizing. If the "camera shutter" is the mouth, then are the green folds its lips? The alien design in this movie fascinates me. Amazing acting from Keke at the end there.
The 'camera' is its eye - we only see its eye when it's putting on a threat display, which is why it reads eye contact as a challenge. The 'camera shutter' is the eyelid, and the 'parachute' section at the top is what opens up to form the saucer's outer shell. The great big 'sheets' down below are probably its digestive system, which fold over and over again to perform the function of both stomach and intestines. It's probably descended from cnidarians, or something closely related to them, given that it's essentially a big, weird jellyfish.
another thing i loved about this film was its music score. especially this one in the finale, in the theater my grandmother and i were glued to the screen determined if em would actually kill the alien Jordan peele did excellent here!
It being an angel or some beast from the Bible was actually what I thought it was. We don’t know how long that thing’s been around, so I figured it must’ve been around since then. Plus the line at the beginning of the movie made me figure that too.
2:56 Anyone else saw that the Jupe Balloon's finger was the one bit that popped? It was like a gunshot to Gordy, but this time it happened to Jean Jacket.
If we're to assume it's unfolded form is like an intimidation display, then can y'all imagine two JJs flying around each other doing that flashy thing.
@@KARTOONOG yes alot of people either were mislead or didn't have the white star power. It's a love letter from Oscar winner Director Jordan Peele to Hollywood
I watched this last night. The hype was justified. Very clever film. The alien animal is the most unique creature I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. I would like to know what JP is working on next.
I have seen it on an airplane as I have traveled overseas. The movie is superb. Best Jordan Peele movie I've seen. Planning to rewatch it again on Prime Video.
It actually ironic how JJ takes getting looked as a threat/intimidation and when it ate the balloon, Jupe is lookin right in its “Eye” before it explodes. Like yea gotcha “😜” (2:50)
I like how the alien not only kills anyone that sees it up close and disables electronic cameras, but it has features reminiscent of a weather balloon.
I really like how when she's celebrating it's not shown as triumphant, there's no uplifting music playing and there's no happiness or relief in Emeralds acting. She's more like a sad, shellshocked survivor.
Aliens are demons in disguise. Demons are fallen angels. Angels are supreme beings out of this world beings. Supernatural. Highly intelligent. The fallen ones are dark and sinnister. They can make themselves appear as many things. Mostly spirits of dead love ones.
I've seen some people say OJ didn't actually survive and that it was his ghost that Em sees at the end, but I don't think that's true. I think he did survive because in order to consume prey, JJ has to return to the saucer form (as shown when it tries to eat the kid sheriff balloon). OJ was still alive when Em started driving away on the motorcycle, luring JJ behind her. JJ stayed in its defensive form until trying to eat the balloon. OJ should still be alive and well.
I think Jean Jacket's "stomach" is the two big, winglike sheets at the bottom of its unfolded form. This would mean that in its unfolded form, it literally can't eat. And since its only form of attack seems to be swallowing things whole or vomiting them back up, yeah, it probably just couldn't do anything to OJ. This was its attempt at scaring everyone out of its territory, and when it failed to work on OJ, it pursued Emerald instead. Also, OJ being dead would mean Lucky is also dead. And I just don't buy that.
I've always loved how the design of the alien folded-up in it's UFO form has the eye *inside* its own body, watching itself eat its meal. Just like how the victims couldn't look away, resulting in them being eaten, JJ doesn't even try to unfold to spit out its meal bc its too busy watching.
I had thought this: why didn't JJ think to unravel itself to spit out the decoy horse it had stuck up it's esophagul passage from earlier? It had been lodged there for roughly 24 hrs, but then i just figured that JJ only knows to unfold to look bigger & meaner when it feels threatened. I doubt that thing's clever enough to have considered it an option and performed it fast before it... oh, why am I even bothering? We both saw what happened to it.
I _love_ the detail at 1:43 Extremely believable predator behavior (at least in my opinion) - posturing in an attempt to assert dominance. Jean jacket puts itself right in Balloon-Jupe's face and tries to psych it out with it's seaweed/eyelash/skinflap display. One of my favorite movies of all time, and I have unreal respect for one of it's messages: animals are *_WILD_* Don't just assume that you've "tamed" an animal. No matter how comfortable you are with a non-domesticated creature, you can NEVER be 100% certain that it won't harm you. (Also, the scene of OJ _staring down_ that thing in order to assert his OWN dominance over the animal was stone cold badass)
The shots are so underrated. Like when Jean Jacket emerges from the clouds and begins to flare its lashes as the score builds up, it is so mesmerizing. Love your work Jordan.
Yup she was incredible. Highlight for me was when Steven Yeun opens the secret room and she immediately reacts with "oh damn". It's such a genuine reaction.
Predator: High tech humanoid warrior with dreadlocks and a crab face. Alien: black skeleton-body with a spiked tail, a cylindrical head and a second retractable mouth. Nope: Silent flying Roomba that unfolds into an angry parachute with party popper tassels for a face. Movies are cool.
I think the more interesting and kind of terrifying part about Jean Jacket is not the creature itself but what is it out there that HUNTS a creature like that. Something bigger like an orca does to sharks or maybe a bigger version of jean jacket itself. Opens up alot of new questions that you may not wanna know the answers to
@@smo4hthats what aliens would realistically be tho, just like us humans. Evolved to the same heat and probably gravity as any other human in our Galaxy
@@noyesnohaha No, probably not, the earth isn't comprised of just humans, theres millions of other creatures on this planet adapted to the same weather and gravity as us, so it's a longshot to assume they'd be exactly like us.

Probably would have been there if Jupe and the Haywoods weren't so focused on capitalizing JJ that they didn't tell anyone else in an attempt to monopolize the opportunity.
Even if the army got involved, they're gonna have a difficult time taking down JJ considering that most of their weapons are high-tech and JJ is know for it's EMP radius turning off any devices near it.
@@drunklord9471 bruh, 100 dudes with M4s, SAWs and a couple heavy MGs would turn that thing to Swiss cheese, throw a grenade up with whatever else it sucks up.
I have just noticed something. The alien never ate anything while in “Jellyfish” form. it reverted back to saucer form when it ate the balloon. So maybe OJ did survive and it’s not an illusion. (Btw what’s the green thing on the alien?)
Probably referring to when Jupe was saved by a gun after indirectly staring at the monkeys eyes. Meaning that man had their fun and shot with the alien, now to bring it down
I loved this movie. But every time I see it, like five times now, it bothers me that the whole time the alien is afraid of the flags. And in the end it just devours a thing dripping in flags. I loved it eating the balloon, I just can't get over the flag part.
You could look at it as a question of competing responses at play. The alien has learned that the flags normally indicate something inedible, but it is also instinctively drawn to engulf anything that "looks" at it, and when it has time to weigh its responses (rather than being caught by surprise, the way OJ surprised it with the flag trailer during the chase with Lucky), the instinct ultimately overwhelms the learned response, the same way Gordy the chimp's aggressive instincts overwhelmed what he'd been trained to do by humans.
I was guessing the size of the balloon. It felt it had to eat or be eaten. Also if flags were hanging off the balloon the alien may hve though the balloon can eat what it cant eat? Kindof a stretch.
I think its more about a competition of territory rather than food. This topic was brought up in the movie by OJ’s father. The balloon resembles the characteristics of JJ - flying, large, and lightweight - but resembles a human. The fact that its covered in flags (the thing Jean Jacket is afraid of) and continuously making eye contact with it. I’d assume Jean Jacket took it as a threat and a competition to his territory
Remember the decoy? It had flags dangling from it and JJ thought it was food but come to find out it was a fake horse it couldn't digest. Which is why it attacks Jupe and his crows, it had been conditioned to eat horses and got fed a decoy, breaking the "trust" jupe had established. OJ releasing a small chute with flags on it, I feel, was a signal to JJ that this horse could be fake too and rather than trying to eat it again, it bolted. But seeing a "creature" the same size as it taking to the skies, or it's home, instigated a fight for dominance over the territory.
One of the most interesting monster designs in decades: almost fabric in nature, but with these immense symmetrical forms capable of seeming unnatural movements. It almost reminds me of an Eldrazi from Magic: the Gathering.
The interesting thing about this whole movie. Is that the goal was to get the creature caught on camera and sell it for a lot of money. Killing the creature was a spontaneous decision that didn't come until towards the end of the film.
It's like "Tiny pests were troublesome, but catching bigger prey makes up for it, I guess..." "... I can't swallow this thing and it feels like it's tearing me a-"
To me the most terrifying thing about this movie is the unknown. Where did the creature come from? What if there is an entire planet filled with these things? What if they all came to Earth?
@@KobaLenk He was only there for six months, but judging by the fact that a balloon can kill him, it looks like he could die from a conventional weapon.
Truly intuitive. Gave me similar vibes to ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ with how the mysterious the alien was until the final confrontation: physical form revealed and contact after we fully understand it’s intention.
The alien in this film is one of the most beautiful and most alien (I mean the concept) of the entire cinema history. It's stunning. It's lovecraftian, it's angelic, it's a lot of things.
Yeah definitely. Jordan Peele is a fan of anime. Wouldn't surprise me if it was inspired by Eva. Especially after he included the Akira slide with Keke on the bike.
I wouldn't be to worry about the photos, they even have organic matter as proof of the creature. Biologist would have a field day researching the carcass.
Yeah I was thinking that too, like you can take as many photos as you want but if you have the literal rotting corpse it would be undeniable proof of an alien life form.
they hired a dude to film the creature on his old vintage cameras because they thought no one would believe them that guy died because of the creature and this scene is an important moment because she got the photo and it was taken in one of those fair attractions so it can't be photo shopped it was a snapshot of the moment
Anyone else think the shot at 2:15 from behind the green stuff resembles the scene earlier where Jupe is looking out at Gordy through a green plastic sheet?
I recently watched it and it’s one of my personal favourites. I was surprised when there is an inside look of the alien. I feel the alien is what stands out to me. Particularly the ending, it ended in a satisfying way =)
What I liked about the monster is we never know much about it. OJ, on the other hand, quickly deduced that it behaves like a wild animal and that's enough for the gang to quickly try and stop it
Its crazy that so many people instantly thought this thing would be alien in nature, when every sign points towards it being from earth. No way in hell could that thing fly through space, unless that one was literally a baby.
@@oddloop9860 Doesn't matter. Maury's cameraman even recorded inside the beast and got out just in time before digestion to record the rest of the movie.
I mean in her defense when you're being chased or eaten by an extremely powerful alien / animal you don't tend to be thinking very clearly in the moment when you're trying to accomplish a goal, so maybe she thought because all of the equipment got damaged this could be my only chance to have some sort of proof of is its existence before we never get to see it again if it possibly leaves..... So we can still get paid..... "The Oprah Shot"...... right?....lol
I enjoyed that Jordan Peele went with the "unidentified atmospheric organism" angle instead of regular ol' aliens. And that Jean Jacket's appearance coincidences with many different Biblical depictions of angels.
It's not like the alien did it out of malice. The movie does a good job of showing that it's an instinctual reaction that a lot of animals have to hate making eye contact. The alien only responds to it specifically

Calvin couldn’t fly, and it had an actual face with a mouth, as well as flesh instead of a plastic like body. It also had no color, where this things “mouth” is green. They’re also 2 different movie studios so that wouldn’t make sense, and Calvin never took breaks from hunting. It was always moving, eating, and growing. It never stopped like Jean Jacket did in the cloud, and it never took it’s time eating people like Jean Jacket did. Also, Calvin came down to earth as part of a Global Space Station Discovery. There’s no way it would make it’s way from the middle of the ocean to a town in the middle of nowhere without some sort of media covering it. And Calvin never tried to hide for extended periods of time like Jean Jacket did in the cloud. As mentioned before, Calvin was always on the move, and had to physically grab it’s prey, not just suck it up. All in All there’s too much evidence against what you just said
If I remember the ending to life correctly, Calvin was going to spread himself out in the ocean which would’ve covered the whole earth. So this can’t be the same universe.
but it also might have been an invasive (alien) species that could have had an effect on the ecosystem around it if it chose to leave it's territory to find another.
I love how well the actor mixes different emotions in this scene. She's excited and happy that thing is dead, but u can also tell she is still terrified of it, the adrenaline hasn't quite left yet. And obviously she is still heartbroken about her brother.
I love this movie! My favourite detail about it is that it started with the ancestor of the protagonist being the first man recorded in a sequence of moving pictures. And in the climax of the movie, the protagonist also becomes famous using a sequence of moving pictures. It's details like this that make this movie awesome in my opinion.
It was such a weird yet oddly satisfying movie. Me my mom and my brother watched it and my mom was really weirded out by it but my brother and I agreed that we weirdly liked it.
Some may say JJ wasn't an intelligent being but it had some damn good instincts. It was hesitant on eating OJ and the balloon from one bad experience with the pennants yet sadly, that same instinct got it killed, its drive to eat anything that observes it or is seen as food drives its instinct to eat, which led to the demise of JJ
@@megha6865 I think it's been here all along. Fifty years ago somebody saw a flying saucer and the military came and shot it down and said it was a weather balloon and the CIA said "when somebody invents Google Earth we are totally blocking out this whole valley".

Two thousand years ago somebody saw a holy man in the desert drawn into the sky by a winged figure in billowing robes.
Seems just as likely to me as things resembling stuff we are familiar with. I've never understood why media depicts aliens as humanoid, the evolutionary path that lead to where we are was all coincidence.... it's just as likely for a planet to end up with some sort of sludge colony as the dominant life form. Or things like this. Or whatever you can come up with lol. Seems very unlikely they'd look anything resembling a bipedal humanoid.

It's normal form is actually quite derivative. It's just a unique twist on it because it's a creature and not a space ship.
@@sonoftheway3528 in the trailers I thought the normal form looked like a sombrero haha. It was the final form that I really liked.

The theme park selling 8x10 polaroids for 25¢ is easily the most ridiculous part of this movie. That film is like $15 a shot.
Those didn't look like quarters to me, they looked like tokens you probably had to purchase at the park
@@familyphotoshoot2413 that's a good catch. When you zoom in on the shot where she's collecting the tokens, they clearly have a horseshoe on one side.
But still I doubt those tokens would cost more than a dollar.
It's probably how it's advertised since it is supposed to replicate an old western town.
Got to stick with the theme. Probably cost more to get the tokens/packages to access the park amenities
Tokens bought with other concessions.
"No refunds on Tokens" I'll bet.
I just got around to watching this film last night. Some of the best cinematography in this genre of movie. What a twist that the ship itself was just the alien in disguise. Also, it felt otherworldly rather than generic alien/monster. Oh and im glad Jordan Peele finally got to do his Akira slide! I definitely geeked out during the moment.
Took inspiration from biblically accurate angel's. Made for a cool take on UFO's, not a ship. But a biological being on the prowl.

When I first saw this movie I thought that JJ changed it form because it was breaking apart after eating an entire house, but now I realize that it was actually incredible pissed off and was trying to look more menacing
Same here. I thought Jean Jacket was falling apart because of the barb wire and the siren-like roar it made had me thinking it was dying since most dying monsters kinda make that sound before death.
It's actually because it's flaring, it didn't start doing that only until it consumed the barbed wire and it ripped its insides that it perceived the humans as a threat
That created an instinctual response to begin flaring, that's what it's doing with the green thing. + Flaring at the balloon as it's a similar size to it so it saw it as an unknown threat
The hype I felt when she started cheering was unreal
same the serotonin from that is gonna last me a full week
It was pretty cathartic! It was a moment of victory, but the way she said it also carried pain and loss, so I think it was a great line t wrap that scary story up with.
She was on the Disney Channel 😄
@@dianachin4849 Nickelodeon
Same here, it was a relief, you were at the edge of your seat not sure what's really going to happen. Seeing it be destroyed and he cheer that was so raw and real. Not like the movie type "hurayyy". Hers was real, out of desperation, fear, rejoice and disbelief
This scene 0:46 sums up that this alien feels like an otherworldly creature that is beyond comprehension.

That ripple effect it does with the green square is mesmerizing. If the "camera shutter" is the mouth, then are the green folds its lips? The alien design in this movie fascinates me.
Amazing acting from Keke at the end there.
i think the folds are more like eyelashes, used to lure prey to look at it
@@jasonbelcho8609 that sounds about right. I was wondering which part is which once it opens up
Isn’t that the eye as well? Or somewhere close to it?
The 'camera' is its eye - we only see its eye when it's putting on a threat display, which is why it reads eye contact as a challenge. The 'camera shutter' is the eyelid, and the 'parachute' section at the top is what opens up to form the saucer's outer shell.
The great big 'sheets' down below are probably its digestive system, which fold over and over again to perform the function of both stomach and intestines. It's probably descended from cnidarians, or something closely related to them, given that it's essentially a big, weird jellyfish.
utter garbage a sheet with a green square
I appreciate that this is a horror movie that doesn't shy away from fully showing their monster. In broad daylight at that.
a sheet lol
another thing i loved about this film was its music score. especially this one in the finale, in the theater my grandmother and i were glued to the screen determined if em would actually kill the alien Jordan peele did excellent here!
And the run, I think that's was the scene was called, with oj on the horse running from JJ

@@redder3076 I just finished that series before I watched this thats cool af
Also that slide that Emerald does on the bike just before this scene is straight out of Akira.
Sahaquiel?
It being an angel or some beast from the Bible was actually what I thought it was. We don’t know how long that thing’s been around, so I figured it must’ve been around since then. Plus the line at the beginning of the movie made me figure that too.
2:56 Anyone else saw that the Jupe Balloon's finger was the one bit that popped?
It was like a gunshot to Gordy, but this time it happened to Jean Jacket.
Peaches did it so brave.
Great observation!
Bang!!!
And also the balloon is what set Gordy off
And also the gunshot that finishes the "Western standoff" between JJ and the balloon.
Fitting, given it's in a cowboy-themed town.
If we're to assume it's unfolded form is like an intimidation display, then can y'all imagine two JJs flying around each other doing that flashy thing.
Or even worse (better) an even bigger animal than JJ, because animals that can increase their size like this tend to be trying to scare off predators.

Eat that you son of a 2:59
Moral of the story much like The Thing from Another World:
"Watch the skies everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies..."
I like how the alien not only kills anyone that sees it up close and disables electronic cameras, but it has features reminiscent of a weather balloon.
Also I love the symbolism of sending a Jupe Balloon at it.
*he was so full of hot air not even JJ could stomach him.*
I really like how when she's celebrating it's not shown as triumphant, there's no uplifting music playing and there's no happiness or relief in Emeralds acting. She's more like a sad, shellshocked survivor.
I just like how it dies it just a pop, no other sounds, just a pop
I love how the alien looks like a God-like creature with a robe or, like some depiction of a biblically accurate angel.
That's because it was inspired by sahaquiel's rebuild design from evangelion
Aliens are demons in disguise. Demons are fallen angels. Angels are supreme beings out of this world beings. Supernatural. Highly intelligent. The fallen ones are dark and sinnister. They can make themselves appear as many things. Mostly spirits of dead love ones.
Don’t worry guys, in the end. The camera man caught it all.
Fr whatever camera he was using they should've hopped on that got the whole thing in 4k lmao
Fun Fact about this movie: They used IMAX cameras! So they could have technically could have caught it all on film, because they weren't electric.
I've seen some people say OJ didn't actually survive and that it was his ghost that Em sees at the end, but I don't think that's true. I think he did survive because in order to consume prey, JJ has to return to the saucer form (as shown when it tries to eat the kid sheriff balloon). OJ was still alive when Em started driving away on the motorcycle, luring JJ behind her. JJ stayed in its defensive form until trying to eat the balloon. OJ should still be alive and well.
Great insight, and I absolutely agree
Yeah if he was actually dead we would have heard him scream also
I think Jean Jacket's "stomach" is the two big, winglike sheets at the bottom of its unfolded form. This would mean that in its unfolded form, it literally can't eat. And since its only form of attack seems to be swallowing things whole or vomiting them back up, yeah, it probably just couldn't do anything to OJ. This was its attempt at scaring everyone out of its territory, and when it failed to work on OJ, it pursued Emerald instead.
Also, OJ being dead would mean Lucky is also dead. And I just don't buy that.
@Biochemitra 💯
I've always loved how the design of the alien folded-up in it's UFO form has the eye *inside* its own body, watching itself eat its meal. Just like how the victims couldn't look away, resulting in them being eaten, JJ doesn't even try to unfold to spit out its meal bc its too busy watching.
I had thought this: why didn't JJ think to unravel itself to spit out the decoy horse it had stuck up it's esophagul passage from earlier? It had been lodged there for roughly 24 hrs, but then i just figured that JJ only knows to unfold to look bigger & meaner when it feels threatened. I doubt that thing's clever enough to have considered it an option and performed it fast before it... oh, why am I even bothering? We both saw what happened to it.
I _love_ the detail at 1:43
Extremely believable predator behavior (at least in my opinion) - posturing in an attempt to assert dominance. Jean jacket puts itself right in Balloon-Jupe's face and tries to psych it out with it's seaweed/eyelash/skinflap display.
One of my favorite movies of all time, and I have unreal respect for one of it's messages: animals are *_WILD_*
Don't just assume that you've "tamed" an animal. No matter how comfortable you are with a non-domesticated creature, you can NEVER be 100% certain that it won't harm you.
(Also, the scene of OJ _staring down_ that thing in order to assert his OWN dominance over the animal was stone cold badass)
Gotta love how “Jupe” fist bumping the “animal” is what destroyed it
Actually, the tip of his finger pops - the one the balloon has shaped like a gun. A gunshot to the head, like Gordy. 😊
The shots are so underrated. Like when Jean Jacket emerges from the clouds and begins to flare its lashes as the score builds up, it is so mesmerizing. Love your work Jordan.
A lot of incomprehensible alien stuff going on here. I liked it
keke as emerald is perfect casting idc
Yup she was incredible. Highlight for me was when Steven Yeun opens the secret room and she immediately reacts with "oh damn". It's such a genuine reaction.
Predator: High tech humanoid warrior with dreadlocks and a crab face.

Nope: Silent flying Roomba that unfolds into an angry parachute with party popper tassels for a face.

Something bigger like an orca does to sharks or maybe a bigger version of jean jacket itself. Opens up alot of new questions that you may not wanna know the answers to

It may not have any predators. Its species may well be apex predators whose only natural enemies are one another.
What I love about the alien is that it doesn't look humanoid. It actually shows that there is something different from us out there.

I’m glad Orgalorg from Adventure Time got its big movie debut
I loved this movie. But every time I see it, like five times now, it bothers me that the whole time the alien is afraid of the flags. And in the end it just devours a thing dripping in flags. I loved it eating the balloon, I just can't get over the flag part.
You could look at it as a question of competing responses at play. The alien has learned that the flags normally indicate something inedible, but it is also instinctively drawn to engulf anything that "looks" at it, and when it has time to weigh its responses (rather than being caught by surprise, the way OJ surprised it with the flag trailer during the chase with Lucky), the instinct ultimately overwhelms the learned response, the same way Gordy the chimp's aggressive instincts overwhelmed what he'd been trained to do by humans.
I was guessing the size of the balloon. It felt it had to eat or be eaten.
Also if flags were hanging off the balloon the alien may hve though the balloon can eat what it cant eat? Kindof a stretch.
I think its more about a competition of territory rather than food. This topic was brought up in the movie by OJ’s father. The balloon resembles the characteristics of JJ - flying, large, and lightweight - but resembles a human. The fact that its covered in flags (the thing Jean Jacket is afraid of) and continuously making eye contact with it. I’d assume Jean Jacket took it as a threat and a competition to his territory
Remember the decoy? It had flags dangling from it and JJ thought it was food but come to find out it was a fake horse it couldn't digest. Which is why it attacks Jupe and his crows, it had been conditioned to eat horses and got fed a decoy, breaking the "trust" jupe had established. OJ releasing a small chute with flags on it, I feel, was a signal to JJ that this horse could be fake too and rather than trying to eat it again, it bolted. But seeing a "creature" the same size as it taking to the skies, or it's home, instigated a fight for dominance over the territory.
loving reading the replies. You all make good points and are making me rethink the scene. Good on ya! I think ill give it another watch!
One of the most interesting monster designs in decades: almost fabric in nature, but with these immense symmetrical forms capable of seeming unnatural movements. It almost reminds me of an Eldrazi from Magic: the Gathering.
The interesting thing about this whole movie. Is that the goal was to get the creature caught on camera and sell it for a lot of money.
Killing the creature was a spontaneous decision that didn't come until towards the end of the film.
Just watched last night. After seeing Get Out and Us, I can confidently say Jordan is three for three on amazing films
Nah Us wasn't great
@@joshuawickens8218 Jean jacket was made by people in a laboratory
Honestly didn't like Us as much as the other two films.
3:09 my favorite part from keke 😂
I love watching it fold back up into the saucer shape. I have no idea why. It’s just very interesting to watch I guess.
It's like "Tiny pests were troublesome, but catching bigger prey makes up for it, I guess..."
"... I can't swallow this thing and it feels like it's tearing me a-"
To me the most terrifying thing about this movie is the unknown. Where did the creature come from? What if there is an entire planet filled with these things? What if they all came to Earth?
Indeed, it made you all more curious about its origins. For how long was it on Earth?
Was it even fullgrown?
Could there be more like JJ out there?
@@KobaLenk He was only there for six months, but judging by the fact that a balloon can kill him, it looks like he could die from a conventional weapon.
Well, according to the designer, its home planet *is* Earth. This thing evolved alongside us, from aquatic invertebrates.
Truly intuitive. Gave me similar vibes to ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ with how the mysterious the alien was until the final confrontation: physical form revealed and contact after we fully understand it’s intention.
The alien in this film is one of the most beautiful and most alien (I mean the concept) of the entire cinema history. It's stunning. It's lovecraftian, it's angelic, it's a lot of things.
Her “YES!” Was 😮! I love KeKe Palmer!!!❤
I swear, Jean Jacket looks like it came straight outta Evangelion.
Yeah definitely. Jordan Peele is a fan of anime. Wouldn't surprise me if it was inspired by Eva. Especially after he included the Akira slide with Keke on the bike.
I love how the alien's true form is beautiful, but still terrifying.
I wouldn't be to worry about the photos, they even have organic matter as proof of the creature. Biologist would have a field day researching the carcass.
Yeah I was thinking that too, like you can take as many photos as you want but if you have the literal rotting corpse it would be undeniable proof of an alien life form.

The way Jean Jacket went back in its shell(?) at 2:42 is so creative
It's *hood, haha.
Anyone else think the shot at 2:15 from behind the green stuff resembles the scene earlier where Jupe is looking out at Gordy through a green plastic sheet?
I'm glad Angel was still alive, best character imo
Kinda creepy but pretty that when JJ dies its body unfurls like a fine blanket in the air.
I recently watched it and it’s one of my personal favourites. I was surprised when there is an inside look of the alien. I feel the alien is what stands out to me. Particularly the ending, it ended in a satisfying way =)
What I liked about the monster is we never know much about it. OJ, on the other hand, quickly deduced that it behaves like a wild animal and that's enough for the gang to quickly try and stop it
Its crazy that so many people instantly thought this thing would be alien in nature, when every sign points towards it being from earth.
No way in hell could that thing fly through space, unless that one was literally a baby.
2:59 Jean Jacket : "I didn't open this door..."

@@oddloop9860 Doesn't matter. Maury's cameraman even recorded inside the beast and got out just in time before digestion to record the rest of the movie.
I mean in her defense when you're being chased or eaten by an extremely powerful alien / animal you don't tend to be thinking very clearly in the moment when you're trying to accomplish a goal, so maybe she thought because all of the equipment got damaged this could be my only chance to have some sort of proof of is its existence before we never get to see it again if it possibly leaves.....

Makes you hope that alien felt all the pain abd suffering it delt combined all at once in the end.
It's not like the alien did it out of malice. The movie does a good job of showing that it's an instinctual reaction that a lot of animals have to hate making eye contact. The alien only responds to it specifically
The sounds you hear in JJ's stomach after it swallows the balloon could be its screams.
the damn music, the truly alien creature design, the cinematography… such a stunning moment

Studio exec: so, Mr Peele, what would you like this alien to look like?
Jordan Peele: a popped balloon.
Jean Jacket is just Calvin from Life after it finally lands on Earth. How has no one noticed this? Its literally the same friggin alien.
Calvin couldn’t fly, and it had an actual face with a mouth, as well as flesh instead of a plastic like body. It also had no color, where this things “mouth” is green. They’re also 2 different movie studios so that wouldn’t make sense, and Calvin never took breaks from hunting. It was always moving, eating, and growing. It never stopped like Jean Jacket did in the cloud, and it never took it’s time eating people like Jean Jacket did. Also, Calvin came down to earth as part of a Global Space Station Discovery. There’s no way it would make it’s way from the middle of the ocean to a town in the middle of nowhere without some sort of media covering it. And Calvin never tried to hide for extended periods of time like Jean Jacket did in the cloud. As mentioned before, Calvin was always on the move, and had to physically grab it’s prey, not just suck it up. All in All there’s too much evidence against what you just said
If I remember the ending to life correctly, Calvin was going to spread himself out in the ocean which would’ve covered the whole earth. So this can’t be the same universe.
I love the Jaws parallels with this movie
if I was Jean Jacket, I would have seen all those red flags on the balloon cowboy and just said “Nope.”

Despite the obvious triumph, this scene made me a little sad. JJ was just an animal, and in this scene he is just slaughtered
but it also might have been an invasive (alien) species that could have had an effect on the ecosystem around it if it chose to leave it's territory to find another.
Bro it ate 40 people in one gulp.. nope. JJ had to gooooo
Better it than us.
If Jean Jacket got to any nearby city it would’ve been a slaughter.

One scary thing in this movie that I thought about is that there is probably an entire species of these thing
I love how well the actor mixes different emotions in this scene. She's excited and happy that thing is dead, but u can also tell she is still terrified of it, the adrenaline hasn't quite left yet. And obviously she is still heartbroken about her brother.
At least the alien looks way better than the true form of Pennywise
I love this movie! My favourite detail about it is that it started with the ancestor of the protagonist being the first man recorded in a sequence of moving pictures. And in the climax of the movie, the protagonist also becomes famous using a sequence of moving pictures. It's details like this that make this movie awesome in my opinion.
To everyone that’s saying the movie sucked, it clearly went over your heads
I keep seeing praises though
Who would hate this???
It was such a weird yet oddly satisfying movie. Me my mom and my brother watched it and my mom was really weirded out by it but my brother and I agreed that we weirdly liked it.
Thought it was cool. But my nephews didn’t really go for it.
Went over their heads like Jean jacket does.
they're probably hating on it to act cool or completely missed the point or it did not go to their exceptions
Some may say JJ wasn't an intelligent being but it had some damn good instincts. It was hesitant on eating OJ and the balloon from one bad experience with the pennants yet sadly, that same instinct got it killed, its drive to eat anything that observes it or is seen as food drives its instinct to eat, which led to the demise of JJ
If life actually exists beyond our planet, I've always imagined it would be something like this... Weird beyond comprehension

@@megha6865 It's implied that it might be a native species to Earth that was simply undocumented for millennia, much like bigfoot is implied to be.
@@megha6865 I think it's been here all along. Fifty years ago somebody saw a flying saucer and the military came and shot it down and said it was a weather balloon and the CIA said "when somebody invents Google Earth we are totally blocking out this whole valley". A thousand years ago one of these ate half a village and the King told the survivors he'd send his knights out to slay the dragon. Two thousand years ago somebody saw a holy man in the desert drawn into the sky by a winged figure in billowing robes.
Seems just as likely to me as things resembling stuff we are familiar with. I've never understood why media depicts aliens as humanoid, the evolutionary path that lead to where we are was all coincidence.... it's just as likely for a planet to end up with some sort of sludge colony as the dominant life form. Or things like this. Or whatever you can come up with lol. Seems very unlikely they'd look anything resembling a bipedal humanoid.
