Which scene did you find the most unsettling?
The buggy camera
Seeing the alien "throw up" all over the house
When the spectators in Jupiters Claim & Jupe all gets taken by the alien. Seeing the flying bodies shadows and then the train of people going up when we get a view inside the alien is super unsettling and then the screams stopping out of nowhere.
the end
@@latrinaautry9348 Actually I think it "pooped" on the house in a kind of territorial act. As if saying, "You found me in the cloud but this is my home." OJ knew that looking any animal in the big eye, mouth, butt (whatever that hole is) might elicit a violent response. Nope.
If the praying mantis upset people then it did exactly what it was supposed to do. For a movie primarily critiquing human desire for “spectacle”, something so little getting in the way of that, and people being upset about it, just proves peeles point.
The sudden praying mantis shot was not "upsetting" as it was obvious an insect was in front of the surveillance camera, as we've seen many times on tv weather / news shows.
that’s how I feel about people wishing the film was more horrifying/thrilling or that there were more shots of the creature/ufo… the reviews on this movie are super polarizing and interesting.
Idk if I was "upset" by the mantis, so much as by the cliche of a thousand, if not million-in-one occurrence preventing a character from furthering their goal and extending the film time. Also have to agree with this video in that they moved on from that setup INSAINELY fast! Most ppl would sooner try just try again using the same setup, betting that the likelihood of a mantis resurgence would be abysmally low, rather than involve an additional person to have to potentially split $$ and fame with. Believe me I was quick to be like, oh bug blocks your shot... "bad miracle", but after characters give up on the setup they literally just built, after ONE attempt...that's "bad writting" in my dumb opinion.
The Praying mantis had me laughing!
@@sspann they actually keep using that setup but the cameras all fail still. The mantis being an animal we cant control is a chefs kiss for ne.
When the first critic says “it makes you want to look away but the feeling of needing to know what happens next is curiosity taking over” that’s literally what Jordan peele was trying to do. That is the literal definition of “spectacle” which is referenced multiple times in the movie
He is a genius
@@michaelkanobayita1075 lmao “genius”
@@TimSlowNewsDayPool ?
@@michaelkanobayita1075 naw this movie was okay with an okay idea behind it. Aliens are boring. GET OUT was genius.
@@wolfwang8464 agreed, Get out is a masterpiece
The cinematographer needed to get that impossible shot going into the creature. He calculated that Jean Jacket will spit out the camera and footage. If the footage survived, he would become a legend. If you look back, you may notice he’s constantly viewing predators devouring their prey. He also acknowledged the wheel chair on the roof, so he knows what Jean Jacket will spit out.
I was upset they didn't elaborate on that...they could have at least had a shot of the camera falling out of the sky.
@@chrisrose2767 that would have been tricky given that it took hours or days for Jean Jacket to release materials from its body. When it ate Jupe and the people at the show, it was later that evening it released belongings on OJ’s house.
@@DionnaHayden but remind you, they were still screaming inside... it wasn't until it went silent when it coughed up
@@chrisrose2767 They do, it's part of the debris that gets flung out after he gets eaten. Pretty sure it's completely demolished and ruined too, making his sacrifice pointless.
@@zacharykelly4152 yup
The digestion scene was horrifying. Seeing and hearing everyone scream their lungs out was something I've never seen in a movie before. It legit made me feel scared. And then when the screams stopped before the blood rain.. chills. Proof that you don't need cheap jump scares for horror movies. Can't wait to see what Jordan has planned next, his movies are truly reinventing horror in the best way.
Hell Fire is worse. It's forever because there is no death.
@@TedEhioghae Meh, that's pointless. If you can't die then naturally you stop being less afraid of mortal dangers.
I had the same reaction and it was right after the Gordy seen too I was so so so close to having to leave because I never expected to see that
the sound design helped so much. Also when you see them going up the tube you can actually hear someone vomiting which really got to me for some reason.
It kind of reminds me of when a bunch of people were captured by the tripods in the Tom Cruise movie War of the Worlds.
Honestly, the gordy scene and the digestion scene are so strong cuz they complement each other. They complement each other completely with their brutal horror. The double dose of horror and anxiety hit you, particularly in a way where you can't look away. Beautifully captured and imagined
Jupe really thought he could maybe take Gordy before he was shot.. then he tried to tame JJ and obviously it doesn't work.
Shit was overplayed. War of the worlds did a better job at conveying terror
Also thought that having one be very possible, and the other being pure Sci-Fi upped the dread. Makes you blur the lines between the realism and properly immerses you in the film.
From the very beginning when you hear the thumps. And you wonder for an hour what it was. Then find out it ass him beating them
And that one chick that got the full dose of both 😭
I feel like the praying mantis was an example of how capturing the perfect spectacle is nearly impossible, they bought high tech cameras just for it to get spoiled by something so little. yes it makes no sense on how the mantis got there but it also makes a lot of sense.
Someone mentioned that praying mantis’ can be symbols of angels watching over you, much like how Angel the character was literally watching them (via the cameras) that night and all the next day.
Murphy's Law never makes sense. But somehow it's always lurking nearby ready to strike.
How the mantis got there is that mantis can fly. The reason why it got up there is that mantis are little bastards that like to fly into cameras and people's eyeballs.
and also as soon as the alien was gone..the mantis flew off the camerea...
It's the law of what can go wrong will go wrong
The scenes that were the most terrifying, was the scenes where JJ sucked up the people, and you can still hear them screaming, as it is still flying around. All of a sudden, there is silence. Crazy!
I was wondering wat u were referring to when you said JJ, but it just clicked 🤣
Yes! I guess this when they finally ended up being digested into the stomach. Pretty messed up way to die.
@@coreycasciano3255 🤣🤣
@@pickettpride6980 what’s even more messed up is that one woman that survived the monkey attack aka Gordy just to be eaten by an alien…That had to suck
@@nigelolvera629 true! She’s probably like…REALLY?
The digestion scene hit different in a massive way. Up until then, I was still thinking it was a regular UFO and we were finally gonna see what's driving it. Then we see the people going up "tubes" and I was like, "OK. They're going through the tubes that'll lead to the aliens." But the tubes kept going, the camera kept panning, then we finally see the thing the people were going to and my jaw dropped. I was like, "Is...is that a stomach? Wait, isn't this a tube? IT'S A FUCKING THROAT?! This isn't a UFO! THE UFO IS THE FUCKING ALIEN AND EATING PEOPLE!" Give it up to Peele for thinking of something like that.
Chill dawg
True. Maybe no UFO (unidentified flying OBJECT) but a UAP
I didn't get it until the last minute so I sadly wasn't as disturbed by thr stomach scene. Just the screams of the people being sucked through what I still thought was a tube
it's actually a creature straight from Lovecraftian lore. incredibly smart creature idea and design still.
People who make a big thing about Aliens always want "Tiny Green Men" at the controls. Mutilation, or even forced probing comes only as an afterthought.
But that would be giving the idea of this thing a "Brain".
What really solidified the horrific nature of Jean Jacket’s method of killing for me was the scene where a fountain of blood poors onto OJ and Em’s house. My reason for this is because of the implications it brings out. It implies that those people were up there getting melted alive for hours, then suddenly they were crushed and had every drop of blood squeezed out of them like a orange in a juicer.
It is implied that the creature was actually constipated by the decoy horse, normally they would've been digested to death but to spit out the horse JJ basically had to "clear" his throat by crushing the people he had devoured previously, explaining why the blood rain when we see at the start of the movie that the only things that come out are the unorganic stuff he can't digest.
@@mxp4se True. It had a run with the horse decoy n multicolor flags Which was why OJ used colorful flags n a parachute to trigger it and scare it off while they were trying to capture it
@@mxp4se it has kind of a shitty, barely functional metabolism for an all consuming monster. Literally struggles throughout the movie because it can't differentiate between food and inanimate objects, then chokes to death on a balloon. How did its "species" get this far in life?
@@BlueZirnitraWell clearly there is some sort of internal system it had to sift through the non-organic material and expel it after digesting what it could. Chances are it just never sucked up anything as big as the horse decoy and only does so when it thinks something is looking at it.
@@BlueZirnitra might be why there are not more of them lol
Changing the alien into an organic space ship was genius!!! I really liked that concept
Looked like a giant hat! Lol! 😁
@@ronaldgreen5292 just see the nope poster with jupe and u will what they did there
same
Exactly, he basically explained the myth of the flying saucer. It was very clever.
It's actually not an alien its supposed to be a lovecraftian monster
The scariest part about Jean Jacket is that it isn’t relatively evil, its just an animal trying to survive and get its daily grub. It doesn’t have evil intentions, its only running on primal instinct.
I think that’s why the scene with the Monkey fist bump is so important. You can tell Gordy is absolutely terrifyingly wild, but not evil - he’s simply acting how a wild animal would.
The scene that made me go “oh this is why JOrdan Peele had this story locked in his mind for so long” was the reveal of the One eye one horn people eater. I’m sure that song struck some sort of chord with Peele and he made an absolutely terrifying film.
Have you somehow never heard that song?
@@eileensnow6153 In what way does their comment insinuate that?
I’ve known a few cinematographers and Holtz’s actions made perfect sense. The passion and the pressure that most of them have for getting the perfect shot is incredible. They want it no matter what it takes.
Exactly. That's something those working outside of the industry may not understand but I thought even with the screen time he did have it came through that his obsession was not only taking a toll on him mentally, keeping him in isolation, somewhat misanthropic and seemingly miserable, but could also eventually turn deadly. I get that he wanted to control his way out of this world doing what he loved most. Chasing that shot.
I can understand the passion overtaking reason aspect, and even tho I think there couldve been more character development to support this, there was enough that I think it's certainly valid.
My issue with the scene is that Angel turns to him and is like, "We got it, right?" to which Holtz just mumbles something but NEVER really confirms, and then runs away, taking the camera and footage, and gets sucked up. So I'm like, did he get ANY footage of all the ish that just happened? If no, why not, and what made him think running at it would end differently, and if he did get the shot, why risk the existing film with an extensively unknown digestive process and subsequent yeetage from hundreds of feet high?? Chances are even if the camera survives the digestion process, itll pop open after dropping from that height, and the film will be ruined from sun exposure. Hell of a risk to take with the only video evidence that they had thus far.
I think ALL Peele had to do was when Angel asked about "getting the shot", just have Holtz say "no" for some reason or another. That at least makes risking the existing footage make sense.
@@sspann I read an interesting theory from a comment somewhere that he knew that the alien vomits up inorganic materials again anyway. So he knew that he would die but the camera would be spat out again later. Though I doubt it would survive the impact from the force objects fly back out, especially being an old camera.
@@sspann That’s the thing about Holst. He got the shot, but it wasn’t enough. They were aiming for an impossible shot, but to Holst, the creature turning on its side and exposing its mouth to the camera wasn’t “impossible” enough. Holst wanted more. He wanted to capture what the inside looked like, a view no one came back from. Not alive and whole, at least.
Honestly I admire the guys risk of “getting the perfect shot” but also I would’ve said he could’ve tried to tie himself down on some rope or something strong enough and then have the possibility of surviving or having the camera in tact
That self-sacrifice (or fatal mistake) Holst made was not stupid but insane. As was his obsession with the footage of wild creatures devouring each other. _He just had to film it_ . The guy literally had a fetish for animal voracity.
Based on social media chatter, I am convinced the people who don't like this movie fall into one of two categories: those looking for scary jump scares, or those who don't like movies with metaphors and symbolism you have to dissect
I agree. Describes me and my wife's take on this movie. I enjoyed trying to make sense of the scenes and having fun with it while my wife was looking for much more visually graphic jump scares. Also, there are those that didn't even give this movie a chance from the beginning.
Yes, sadly "not-so-smart" folk just don't "get it" and miss out! LOL
@@freeedward8 lol..yes
Tremors 5?
The two categories are those who are woke/open minded vs those who are dull minded and simple
I went through all the stages of grief watching those people getting sucked up into JJ and knowing they are going to die a horrible death. So tragic.
Same here. It was a very messed up scene that genuinely scared me.
Have you never watched War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise before? Nope is nothing compared to that
Honestly, I felt Peele held back on that scene. It could have looked far much horrifying. Imagine the Nazi melting from Raiders of the Lost Ark and seeing those types of bodies inside the intestines or as they are being liquified. Still gives me the creeps thinking about it.
@@adamgenesis4084 That's the thing. Our imagination fills in the blanks for that scene. Hearing their suffering as they scream for hours while we don't see what's happening only makes it much worse.
@@Tygermite exactly, seeing what happens makes it simple. But our imaginations run wild not knowing what happened. Jordan proved just how thirsty for blood we are.
I remember the screams in the trailer were the most chilling part. I thought it was sounds of horse terror, but it's brilliant how it just sounds like disturbing wind/engine noises until you know what it is.
I liked the part where Jordan Peele made a cameo in the movie and said it’s peelin time and then he peeled the alien into pieces. Truly wonderful horror elements
lmao
Seeing Jean Jacket flying around with jean shorts was truly the most horrifying moment in the film fr.
@@ninmue4638 🤣🤣🤣
I think my favorite part was Oprah's eery knock on the door during the blood storm asking if she could borrow some bread. 😐
Can y'all let these stupid jokes die already?
The scene where the crowd was getting eaten almost made me leave the theatre, that was the only scene that made me so unsettled which I applaud. It was the mixture of screams and the unknown plus the claustrophobic space that made me feel uncomfortable
There’s always a scene from Jordon’s movies that make me uneasy and for Nope, that was it
I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE! I watched this alone and I contemplated leaving after the digestion scene.
@@tinyylasagna1569 sameeee I was literally in the movie theater all by myself 😭
Just thinking of what those people must have experienced gives me serious anxiety. They were retching inside those intestines ... must have smelled horrible.
When I saw that scene, I legit wanted to leave since that was one of the most disturbing scenes I’ve seen in a movie but I was with my friend and I didn’t want to look bad so I stayed
If that scene upset you, I’m curious as to how you’d react to Ari Aster’s Hereditary and Midsommar.
Nope is pretty damn great. That opening scene is wonderfully bizarre and creative. The sight of that blood stained shoe standing up on its own? Surreal AF.
@@blackfootedferret what point are you trying to make?
@@blackfootedferret yeah it was amazing
@@sbraypaynt that it was an amazing movie.. gory, creative, had some funny parts in it.. it wasn’t just about demons and stuff which is something you see all the time now in scary movies
@@janayawilliams2596 i don’t think you know who I’m actually replying to because the guy deleted his comment
@@janayawilliams2596 it was meh with a meh idea. Internet culture has made horror a pretty huge joke though now aday’s
The crowd screaming inside the alien was upsetting then the screams suddenly stop. 😳
Bone chilling nightmare fuel
That's what todays horror movies are lacking
@@mydude8731 Indeed.
That almost subtle thing you have to listen for that chills ya once ya realize what the sound means.
@@256NatLiz especially because they were screaming for hours 😳
Hell Fire is worse. It's forever because there is no death.
Woman got her face mangled by a chimp and devoured by a alien
Worth recalling that Peele’s production company is called Monkey Paw Productions, after the famous horror story, The Monkey’s Paw. Take a quick read and you’ll see close parallels, down to the loss of life, bad miracles, and the general theme of being careful of what you wish for !
Not to mention, Jupe reaching to fist bump Gordy (a chimp's paw, in lieu of a monkey paw)
The poor people being slowly digested was so shocking. Imagine being trapped inside the belly of a living creature being slowly eaten alive in the dark. Their continuous screams was very unsettling.
especally when the creature is above the house and you can hear the screams!!
I think this is gonna be the top pick for the most unsettling scene...but I'm gonna go with the digestion scene following Jupe's spectacle. Just watching those 40 plus people shoved into an incredibly narrow passageway that undulates in an organic fashion, pushing these people inwards towards destination unknown at the time. People shoved into one another, unable to move any which way but further inside. All the while...They...are...just...SCREAMING! My heart was pounding out of my chest with how out of the blue and how upsetting this scene was.
As JJ flies around you just heard this chorus of screams bellowing from the inside of this creature. Which does makes you wonder what exactly is going on in there to make them scream for hours and hours on end. What tortures are they enduring while inside this thing? Yeah some people say it's akin to stomach acid. But we don't know what goes on beyond the passage or anything about JJ's biology. If something else happens while whoever is in there. Whatever it is the process is very slow and very excruciating beyond anything we could comprehend!
And then the following scene...when JJ reaches the ranch, and in one simple, effortless motion, something akin to a blink of an eye...everything goes quiet. And then...down comes the blood and anything else JJ did not digested. I get chills every time i think about it.
That was definitely horrifying. Almost unthinkable.
@@running179 Really, the fate of those people is brutal. Being digested alive on camera (the change in intensity of the screams of the poor woman as she is exposed to the digestion process is shocking) and hearing their screams for hours is one of the most disturbing experiences I've ever had on film. And the film put very clear that everyone, including their relatives and children, was also swallowed and exposed to the excruciating pain of being slowly digested alive for hours... even days.
That scene was truly upsetting to watch and hear. Especially when you know one of the audience members survive Gordy’s rampage to only meet her true end to JJ. As in being partially eaten once wasn’t enough to survive.
Woman got her face mangled by a chimp and devoured by a alien
Saw the movie today and that was the most disturbing scene for me, you nailed it. The chimp scene is a close second.
Just to add: Jordan def does incredibly beautiful camera work. And he does great aerial shots. And he has an incredibly original imagination, beyond anything anyone else is doing. I just wish he had shown us more of these characters' interior lives (excepting Jupe, whose interior story we really do get to know).
Did he film it, write it, produce it, or direct it ?
@@maddiej5131 yes, Jordan Peele wrote, directed, and produced the film.
Finally saw this tonight, and the digestion scene just hit different. That and Gordy’s massacre. Absolutely brutal scenes
I think i like the idea of OJ finding a way to tame it and figuring out how to control it.....seems like a logical arc to his character development actually
That’s the thing tho too. He never really is able to tame it. That’s kinda the point. Both Jupe and The directors with the horse and the directors with Gordy tried to tame them and treated them as lesser beings just for entertainment. Oj was more successful because he respected the horses and the ufo as actual beings. He was able to understand them properly. In the end one of the points is that you can’t tame or control something like that. It’s not fully or really that possible. Sure he guided it a little and utilized it’s strengths and weaknesses to semi control it but in the end it was it’s own and it either had to die or Oj and Em would have had to die.
This movie is so effective because Jordan Peele knew exactly what we were going to expect going in and said “we’re not doing that.”
i think the saucer being alive as opposed to a vehicle still makes it an alien invasion film, but it lends more to cosmic horror in my mind because the tension and questions surrounding the alien increase 10 fold
Yeah I was so surprised when that happened, and then later I was thinking about how there could be multiple, BIGGER ones because there are loads of Abduction stories in that universe
It isn't cosmic horror. I wish people would stop trying to call everything Lovecraftian because its trendy. It's an alien. Cosmic horror doesn't mean "scary alien" it means unknowable, unfathomable, not adhering to our perception of reality, so incomprehensible foreign that it drives people to madness just trying to conceive of it, existential doom that implies the universe itself has no hope.
It's a bloody alien, with a digestive system, that gets thwarted by a choking hazard. It isn't fucking Cthulhu or anything close to it lmao. People see tentacles and immediately CoSmIC hOrRoR is invoked.
@@BlueZirnitraGod, thank you. It's so annoying to see everything called fricking "Lovecraftian" now. Just because it's creepy or a large alien doesn't make it Lovecraftian.
I wasn’t scared at any point of the movie, but I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure it out and learn what’s happening
The thing that I love was the Gordy scene and the digestion scene from the alien. Just an amazing work of horror and spectacle. Never have I had a small fear of a chimp until today
ive been mildly afraid of chimps/apes/monkeys for a while and gordys massacre just dialed that up to a 100 lmao, scariest scene in the movie for me partially because it could easily happen
I’ve never felt such a feeling of just sitting there looking at Gordy look at us. That was terrifying
I like when Keke Palmer‘s character is talking about the Oprah shot and greatness & her bro is wearing a Jordan tshirt= Black billionaire excellence
The digestion scene caused me to have a night-long anxiety attack last night complete with puking, and I'm still recovering from it lol
So basically Reddit Viewers are saying we are emotionally upset and scarred for life. Hmmm there are 100s of horror films they forgot to add to their list.
Just watch the news.. fictional movies don't have that affect on me, news do..
@@einienj3281 I concur 100%.
@@TeamWickedOpinion I watch almost exclusively horror content, but I have to limit my news intake.. how messed up is that..
@@einienj3281 same, especially the last 3 yrs
They bullshitin for veiws
Praying mantis were on the walls of Egyptian tombs as hieroglyphics because they were thought to be alien bugs and do fit because the movie is about an alien predator which is what a mantis is.
'Alien bugs'
okay.
😂😂
I don’t think us real fans were really upset about anything
I didn’t know their was polarized opinions on this film until I finished it and searched YT to reflect. It was a great movie. Big themes, little themes, great characters/dialogue/shots. What’s not to like?
I am a huge horror fan and there is rarely a horror movie I don't enjoy in some sense. This was one of those movies I was just waiting to end. It didn't really bring anything new to the table and it was just too long and boring.
The first hour is really slow. It has a little bit of blood here and there but we don't get a look at the UFO until half the movie's over .This isn't jaws, I'm here to see some aliens. It's not a total waste of time but the pacing was just too slow for me, especially with all the conversations that just go on and on and on about aliens and probes and buttholes. I really liked the other half of the movie though.
I think the end was kinda "that's it!?" For me enjoyed the setup and didn't mind the run time but the payoff just wasn't all the way there for me. Also wish that the interaction between cast was a little less "acty"
idc what people say this is Jordan's best movie
Absolutely.
He's 3 for 3 but Us to me is undefeated.
yes
It truly is.
Nope lol
I don't understand why people would be upset by a horror that has genuinely disturbing and nauseating scenes like this. Horror movies are supposed to invoke fear, disgust, and anxiety into people, just this video alone proves that this horror truly succeeded in its task.
Some people see it's just a painting and not the art of this movie. They are desensitized to movie going and want everything laid out. This is truly a masterpiece of film making.
Thats what I like about Peele's movies. On some level they're psychological
Shut up. There are a lot of masterpieces and not everyone likes all of them.
Fucking opinion police are insane. No piece of art is objectively good to everyone, it's a subjective process, both creating and watching it.
@@biancathomson5262 me too!
I wasn’t upset at anything it was a great movie. Jesus…
I think he’s using the word ‘upset’ pretty generally. Like the effect it leaves on people. I don’t think anybody was left actually upset by the movie.
6:05 I think Holst is given a bad rap here. He doesn't take the camera with the money shot on it. That was a mounted rig. Holst, when he leaves to get the "magic" shot with perfect light or whatever, takes his handheld unit (which was probably an early prototype). As you can see, after Holst leaves, Angel starts to use that same mounted unit to capture the folly.
Unfortunately, Angel leaves the protection of the little camo canopy, and the monster clearly sees him looking up at him, making him a target as well (at least until the wind blows a tarp over him, blocking his eyes). But, the damage had been done, the monster sucks up the camo tent and the other cameras THEN, not when Holst was sucked up.
As for why he did it... think Point Break. This was Holst's "perfect wave", he knew he had it, the culmination of his life's ambitions, where was there to go from here? He wasn't interested in the praise and accolades after getting the shot, only getting the shot itself. He wanted to go out in the pursuit of what he loved, and so left the protection of the tent and put himself in the crosshairs as, quite frankly, suicide, under the guise of trying to one up the clear undeniable UFO footage with the attempt to get the same shot "in better lighting", I think because he couldn't conceive of an existence where he had achieved his greatest desire. "It's going to be alright, Angel. We don't deserve the impossible."
I think his intention was only to kill himself, not the footage, but, sadly, didn't move far away enough from the tent, as Angel got spooked and subsequently miffed things up
Antler was popping prescription pain pill just before he played the Martyr so maybe he was on his way out anyways. I noticed that on the first watch.
I noticed that too.
Wonder if that was a Peele nod to the “unexplained sickness sideplot that makes a character’s death hurt less” trope…
@256NatLiz no not at all, he was quite literally obsessed with veracity. The octopus eating the crab, snake strangling the tiger. It was his passion and he wanted to be the prey. He took the pain pills because he knew what he wanted, he just didn't want to feel it. You could tell the man was off his rocker in almost every scene he was in. The actual trope would've been betrayal as him taking the footage for himself/his legacy. That is honestly what i expected and iwas so relieved that's what it wasn't. If you expect it, it's not very good. But the payoff of that scene and the buildup of his character was phenomenal, he was just crazy crazy. He had an insatiable hunger for this shit.
In my opinion, all of the “up set” scenes from the movie were the best because it gives of chills and scary vibes we don’t see in other movies.
Peele's best film yet. You need to watch it twice.
Antler sacrifices himself knowing Jean Jacket would spit the camera back out and it could possibly be retrieved, and was possibly dying with cancer or some other ailment anyways? Just my takeaway
I think the alien controlled Antler
@@figueroastudios841 I don't think that was it
I want to see peele do a serial killer movie like se7en, or a movie about biblical hell, I feel like he’d make the scenes so horrifying he’d scare people into religion 💀
throughout the film, the question that keeps popping into my head was: is a shot really worth it? and i think thats kind of the whole point
I thought the Holtz character was thinking that the sturdy field camera he was using would survive the close encounter and then be spit out and discovered as found footage like in the Cloverfield movies.
this movie is obscure, yet incredibly amazing. it fit all the right vibes. the digestive system this alien was given is so good, because they’re able to get those wide and claustrophobic shots. the continuing screaming you hear coming from victims is so scary. none of them knew their fate. the vomit scene, too.. gory yet crippling horror
I love this movie for its messages. When you witness the people getting digested and eaten you can’t help but keep watching and NOT look away. Just like the alien. It will attack if you make eye contact, which I find terrifying cause if I’d swallows you it doesn’t kill you fast , it takes it’s time
People are angry about the film not confirming if the creature is terrestrial or extra terrestrial....? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
No only a few, looper just need money for content
@@goated3285 perhaps..
What's wrong with a great film leaving some mystery, something left to the imagination? A great film, absolutely.
@@freeedward8 I kinda like films like that..
Being digested alive is one of the reasons why to this day I can't watch the 1988 version of The Blob. That also had horrifying scenes of people (including children) screaming as this big alien blob of slime slowly melts and dissolves them. Imagining that with this movie gave me chills!
Jean Jacket to me is what we Native Used to call a Thunderbird... Hope I'm right. It isn't mentioned but definitely fits a bunch.
They act a lot like Jean Jacket does (in the old stories), swooping down and catching up people and returning to its nest (usually a tall mountain or hill). And how wouldn't you see a great big bird? It isn't a bird and has natural camo. (The stories never say). Also, most speak about a great sound that comes with it.
Again, my interpretation but it's head canon to me.
Jorden Peele is a genius. He has a new and fascinating take on older ideas.I give Nope a big YEP. Go see it y'all.
It is an alien movie- Nope stands for NOT OF PLANET EARTH.
Peele is the modern Alfred Hitchcock.
Yaaaas!!!.... That's exactly what I told someone after seeing NOPE!!!
yo.. is it me or does anyone else believe that OJ died..? i feel as if the ending shot of him sitting still on the horse under the “Out Yonder” sign is symbolic for him being gone. Em’s facial expressions tell it all as well. What do you guys think?!
I was thinking that too n i need answers also lol
No he was alive. Jean Jacket needed to fold himself in to digest his food-the way he did with the balloon-and he never did that with OJ and the horse. It immediately went after Emerald.
So people are upset that a scary movie actually made them scared or uneasy that doesn’t make sense because that’s the point of the movie
His name is "Antlers." He was born to be prey. Deer have antlers.
Good point. Perhaps you could push the idea further - "deer in headlights" is an apt description of his death scene.
I saw another person comment about how, during every shot of him before meeting OJ and the rest, Antlers was watching clips of animals fighting. I especially remember the one of the tiger and snake; the traditional predator (tiger) is constricted ruthlessly (snake) as if it were prey. This echoes in both how Jean Jacket kills literally and how, metaphorically, Antlers is captured so tightly by the idea of capturing JJ's "spectacle" that he surrenders himself to it, giving in to death.
An article from Collider on him by Patrick Gunn describes him as "[named] after a part of a deer that is used for show and defense - and that people pay thousands for to either buy or hunt." It's a good read into his character; I would suggest it.
@@hawkscratch Thank you! This is excellent.
I think one of the things that makes it scarier is there is a face at the top of the tube they are being sucked through, it might not be just digesting them but absorbing and making them part of itself.
At first it can seem like Antler Holst's decision was out of left field... thinking about it, there are two major factors that I see that led him to make his decision:
1. He's sick. There's a quick shot of Angel noticing Holst take some pills. Holst gives him a strange look back after he notices him and then the scene cuts. Jordan Peele isn't one to sprinkle a moment like this for sake of randomness. So I think this implies that he is sick and/or is dying.
2. The impossible shot is just that. Impossible. Him climbing to the top of the peak at "golden hour" is a callback to his warning to Emerald about dying on the peak of that dream. That obsessive need to get that perfect shot drives him to do the insane.
It was still stupid of him.
At first I didn’t understand why the monkey went crazy but after I left the theatre it clicked wat happened
Also I loved how Peele used the eyes as a tool to have the creature kill the people, it makes sense because people have morbid curiosity, if a huge flying saucer was seen in a location everybody would look up, the twist of using that as a way to have the creature prey on people was such a smart idea 👌
what’s your opinion on why Gordy the monkey snapped if you don’t mind me asking
@@shy_waffle I assumed it was the popping balloon, maybe sounding like a rifle, that set Gordy off.
Yeah, that's the one rule of surviving an animal's rampage; don't make eye contact.
@@KevinIsrael Many animals are triggered by loud noises.
@@williamcrowe2576 reason why they say don’t take flash pictures, because the light can trigger a natural instinct… also for example the horse in the movie being triggered by its reflection is another example
At the beginning of the movie, I felt scared of the Gordy scenes, but after watching the whole movie, the slow digestion scene haunted me. They were digested for days, and still conscious? It's terrible
AND flying through the air all the while. Out and out misery.
Very clever of Peele for playing the song "Sunglasses at night" when OJ realized that you can't look it in the eye.
the really horrifying part about the digestion process is that the creature is capable of instantly killing them, when it stiffens up crushing everything inside. instead it keeps them squeezed in there screaming out in agony, which would help it to hunt because people and animals below would react to the sounds and look toward the source. it only chooses to finish them off and consume them when it has decided hunting is over and there is no more prey.
The Blood Part reminded me of War Of The Worlds with Tom Cruise when the aliens are trying to harvest humans by spreading blood
Jean Jacket wasnt bloodthursty it was an predator. It was just eating
The saucer eating them alive and the Gordy seen is the exact same shot in reality. As Gordy is the flying entity and him killing them brutality. I love how it pretty much shows that because he was looking at the shoe it's the reason he survived. Yet, he thinks he's a divine entity but it shows that because he was looking at the shoe instead of the Chimpanzee is the reason he lived. Literally showing, "don't look." Sorry for the ramble but it's my idea in a nutshell.
Also, creature 100% is a 4th dimensional creature. I had a theory that the creature usually doesnt eat humans or horses, as there wasnt any blood dropping from sky in previous encounters. Creature was pissed about being a spectacle and went full chimp attack. I think the fractal cube tunnel thing is a way into the 4th dimension rather than being eaten. This could explain how people return from alien abductions.
Dude!!!!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I agree totally!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
This is a joke right? You gotta be joking. I mean Jordan Peele based Jean Jacket's design off of marine life.
jordan hired a marine biologist to help with the jean jacket design
@@herb_rolls3929 exactly idk what this guys talking about JJ being 4th dimensional
Hmm, I’d argue that the ending makes sense from the perspective that when two equally cunning predators collide (in this case, humans vs Jean Jacket), they’re going to fight for territory and survival. Humans will destroy that which they cannot tame if it poses a threat. Jean Jacket is beautiful, but it cannot be tamed or contained. Therefore, its danger outstrips the power of its terrible beauty.
love this explanation of it, i hadnt considered it as predator v predator fighting over territory
The older I get the more sensitive I become towards violence in film. The digestion scene made me realize why I actually hate horror movies. I’m done with horror. My mind don’t need stuff like that.
This is absolutely my type of movie I love movies that you have to digest and pick apart
I have to say the Gordy scene was terrifying like seeing a live chimp killing his co-stars and disfiguring one of them really caused a trauma in Jupe.
This entire movie feels like a live action adaptation of an anime that doesn’t exist.
i think that people who enjoy and appreciate cinema would really love this; and the people who just wannna be entertained, may find the ambiguity frustrating
That's why I liked K-PAX. It was entertaining and somewhat ambiguous as well. I'm a filmmaker too, although a minor player, and I don't always want everything spoon fed to me and totally 'splained. Just entertain me.
Holst’s death was confusing! I was expecting his film/camera to fall from the sky adding yet another treasure to his legacy/discography! But nope. Seemed like a useless death with no resolve.
That’s really the only part that pissed me off.
same I thought it would fall near the fry’s guy
The camera would’ve probably been spit out later but JJ exploded & died.
Same
it tied into the theme of the film
@@nicholasbrake4189 true
I predict an Oscar for best sound editing.
I think the reason the creature unfolded itself was to intimidate its prey, as OJ threatened the creature with the flags.
One Eyed, One Horned, Flyin' Purple People Eater: The Movie
Purple?
I used too live in agua dulce right off sierra highway in between the church’s and I can honestly say the most upsetting thing about this movie is there is not a *fry’s electronics* anywhere close too there 😩
Jupe and Holtz have the same character weakness and suffer the same fate for it: Spectacle.
I'd probably just see the movie for what it is; an allegory of humanity's foolish exploitation of nature coming back to bite him in the behind. Or in this case, eating him alive like a piece of fruit and spitting out the seeds.
If it upsets people then it means it was a great horror.. Not many Directors these days can pull off a good horror. Jordan is a mastermind.
It's a movie about parachute monster from outer space that chokes to death on a balloon, you your cheering and clapping like all the rich white yuppies on the frist episode of the boondocks
I thought the scenes where you can see humans being digested was very unsettling. And another scene is when Gordy mutilated and killed his “coworkers”. It was so unsettling but you just couldn’t look away.
Holst is an artist and he's stuck doing things he doesn't care about. We meet him filming a commercial. Something far below his talent. "I do one for them, so I can do one for me." he says. Being an artist and working on something you don't care about is soul-crushing. Holst needs to feel something with his images. It's why he spends time watching animals fight. For the emotion of the images. Filming Jean Jacket meets that rush that he gets from capturing art and if he gets that perfect shot then he might be able to switch to doing only projects he cares about. He feels that rush he craves as an artist. Then, chasing that high, he puts himself and the others in a precarious position. Holst is representative of these two sides of the film industry. Innovation and artistry coupled with destructive nonchalance about the safety of others. For him in that moment, it's all about getting the perfect shot. Just like, for example, John Landis did with "Twilight Zone: The Movie" and three people died.
It reminds me of a airborne Sarlaac monster from Star Wars. Being digested over long periods of time while still being alive.
I loved it, it scares on different levels than what you expect. I was caught off guard by the digestion scene, never occurred to me it was an entity in its own right. A brilliant twist on the alien franchise & yes, we could argue wether it’s an alien, a species yet to be observed or even a biblical connection, but it’s the unknown, that lack of knowledge is unnerving. Also plays into the theme of spectacle, we can’t look away cos we must find an answer even when there isn’t one to get & it’s in our nature to observe cos our curiosity gets the better of us. As for the filmmaker, he was beaten by JJ with his digital cameras, & then to see the siblings & rookie manage to do the impossible, it hits him that it won’t be him that will be remembered or acknowledged for his work getting proof. He himself was skeptical initially & he thought they’d take the credit despite his help. So he saw a chance to make history & a permanent name for himself. He knew the camera could survive, he knew JJ would spit out metal/inorganic with most intact, so what’s better than catching video of a new creature, footage of it hunting/eating/habitat/action. Again, spectacles, something people can’t ignore & while he knew he’d die, he’d get the impossible shot, his name would go down & he’d be remembered. Of course we the audience see the folly as the camera was destroyed, the footage ruined & his death actually showing his insecurity of being vested in his element & his need to be a master of spectacle which itself is ironically a spectacle too.
The screaming of the people within Jean Jacket disturbed me so much. The Blob remake also featured a partially digested victim screaming in terror, a child, and I’ve been scarred for decades.
im still not sure if i really liked the movie, but it gave me anxiety and emotions i have never felt before... to attain this within a movie is simply amazing and is something only a genius like peele can achieve, bravo!
I thought the movie was really good, but that ending at least to me was not satisfying for the message the movie was trying to portray.
I don’t think the word “upset” was the correct choice. This is a bunch of moments fans were shocked, horrified, jumped at, etc. Upsetting would be more like the movie did something really dumb that went against expectations. This movie was supposed to be bloody and “shocking” etc. If someone is actually “upset” by that, they were in the wrong movie. That’s like watching the walking dead and being “upset” there are zombies in it instead of teddy bears. What you mean is “scared by.”
I will add... its an R rated movie, people. Plus...When I was in the theater, I saw 2 young boys with thIer parents. Probably 6 & 7 years old. They were fine. Of course, to a child, it was probably a simple ufo movie, but they didn't freak out. Why? The horror is implied for the most part & the gore is kept at a minimum. The more I read, and the more I ponder the film, the more I like it. I believe it will be a classic, & studied for decades. A contender for BEST PICTURE.
How did you not include the full gordy scene? the opening shot was suspenseful in that you had no clue how it would unravel. When you finally see how it played out, it's easily the most chilling and traumatizing scene in the movie next to the alien disgestion.
Its traumatising even just listening to it.
People are complaining that the horror movie is scary? 😂🤣
The scene where all the people get sucked up into the alien is pretty messed up. It reminded me of an over sized alien-jellyfish, since they also have a mouthpart at the center of their body.
The cameras onset of the Gordy show look exactly like the aliens they sold as props and I think it has a correlation. Kinda like there were being watched all along
Antlers was dying. pretty clear, he had the cough and was taking prescription meds
OJ: “Gotta break its spirit”
Me: *Expecting for him to start riding it like a horse*
I found it very interesting that the expendable deaths that created spectacle were all white people rather than the characters we were invested in and I wonder if that was intentional. Turning the tables on the usual use of black and Asian people as expendable characters.
