I enjoy that Peele went for "unidentified atmospheric organism" rather than just regular ol' aliens for this one. And that when Jacket opens up, it resembles a biblical angel.
and really stick to it "unidentified" part, No character in this movie shows up say they studied this creature and it nature. Nope it a "unidentified flying spaghetti" we thought was a UFO
This is why Jordan Peele horror films are so good. He doesn’t rely on cheap jump scares, but rather Jordan focusses more on tension and atmosphere. Combining that with creepy audio, and having characters that you actually care about and don’t want to see get killed.
Peele is extremely talented. Not only in comedy, but also his writing/directing skills. We're lucky to have him making movies for us. He's truly one of a kind.
There are a lot of amazing scenes and parallels in this movie. My favorite is how it ended and began with a balloon popping. The carnage and trauma for June only happened because an animal forced to perform was set off by a balloon popping thanks to studio lighting. One could say none of this could have happened because of it. And then the ending, the end of the horrors, the end of Jean Jacket, came from a balloon popping inside of it.
Loved the implications of what Jean Jacket was. Not only is it not a spaceship, but it's probably not alien at all. It's clearly perfectly designed to hunt and move in our atmosphere. Somehow, if it is a terrestrial animal rather than alien, that is, something that evolved here, makes it even weirder, more unknowable. Because it’s so utterly unlike any lifeform we are familiar with. Personal Head-canon - this is a creature left over from the Deep Past. The Pre-Cambrian era. Before the colonisation of the land, before oxygenated air. I like to imagine that perhaps, billions of years ago, there was a whole ecosystem of aerial life forms, possibly before the land became colonised by life. Maybe Jean Jackets distant ancestors drifted above Earths primordial oceans, sucking up the great microbial mats. That’s why it’s so bizarre, we share virtually no common ancestors. Yet it’s still an Earthly being. It’s clearly been here for all of Man’s history. It kickstarted the UFO/flying saucer phenomenon, particularly as those legends only began (specifically with the use of the term 'flying saucer') when Mankind began to fly and intrude into Jean Jackets biome. It influenced deep-rooted legends of angels and gods in the sky. What’s truly unique about Jean Jacket isn’t so much it’s appearance, as it’s nature. By that I mean, it’s an aerial being. As far as we know, there have never been any truly aerial life forms. Of course there are birds, insects and bats that can fly and use the atmosphere for hunting/mating etc. But they don’t live in the air. Birds/insects are to a truly aerial animal, as penguins or otters are to truly aquatic creatures like sharks or jellyfish. Jean Jacket seems to be a type of life that exists solely in the atmosphere. Is Jean Jacket the last of it's species? Or are there others, have they retreated to remote regions? Or are they just very, very good at hiding?
@@creature-studios5314 I seem to vaguely recall the idea of flying saucers actually being living creatures was a pre-existing concept. Something the Fortean Times would have suggested? Can’t find anything about it though.
@@creature-studios5314 It does seem strange that the atmosphere itself is nearly devoid of life. Given how huge it is. But the comparatively tiny biome of the surface teems with life, as does the three-dimensional habitat of the oceans.
the thing i like about this film is that it took the "alien invasion" concept and slipped it on its head instead of the ufo being a giant machine that aliens use to get around and abduct, its a living creatures it isn't a "unidentified flying object" its a unidentified flying ORGANISM
You know every time I see this movie why does jean jacket does that popping noise and then I go outside I look at the clouds then I look right back down again
3:25 also i don’t think jj is supposed to touch the ground if u look closely after it touches the ground he makes that loud roar almost like it hurt then transforms also at the end when he dies he is still floating
During OJs run you see it literally fly out out of the ground and into the sky at the beginning of the run not only can it touch the ground but it looks like it can use the sand and dirt to hide itself like it does in the cloud
@@Wonzling0815yeah which is really fking terrifying Especially if let’s say your on a hiking trail and for whatever reason you know and understand this thing and how it hunts and sounds and you hear a bunch of screams above you, potentially victims that were only moments ago camping but were unfortunate enough to be swallowed and digested Your only defense being to look down as you know jj is right above you, the screams get louder as it gets closer to the ground inspecting you as if it was the hand of god judging your existence determining if you were good enough as to not be engulfed in the saucers unending maw, with the ultimate final test being to not look, to not gaze at your judge …wow I have no idea where dafuq whatever just came out of my mouth came from
Jean jacket is amazing the amout of horror and quality is just awsome, like i dont mean of looking tru a big ship abducting people scary but jean jacket just an animal trying to survive it eats it does anything it has emotions at the fact when we see it trying to eat somthing that isnt made outta meat and bones it doesnt like it, who knows jean jacket might be a unknown species trying to survive and eat, probably the last of its kind
His design is definitely inspired by one, but it changes his shape to gather more attention Think of it like a peacock or an angler fish Especially cause of his animal like behavior
Dawg, this isn’t down bad, this isn’t rock bottom either, blud there IS no bottom for you, you have ascended beyond 3 dimensional space you have inverted on yourself your mass is in the negatives you have created a black hole as to compensate for the lack of a bottom
The fact that you can hear the TMZ Reporter get absolutely crushed by JJ’s muscle’s in its digestive system is horrifying.
I always envisioned it as him quickly disintegrating from a sudden increase of digestive fluids, but yeah, being crushed is more horrifying, lol
timestamp?
@epikreaper19
Probably 3:19.
A person gets eaten in the beginning but the timestamp is the only time I heard anything resembling bones cracking.
@@kingayy9267 no, thats probably the fenceposts getting ripped from the ground and the barbwire. i really dont know where that is supposed to be.
@@epikreaper19 1:00-1:15

Jordan Peele is a genius.
it does not resemble a biblical angel at all.

What’s dope about that scene is when it gets super quiet and then the clicking and screaming starts. love the scenery in this scene.

Jean jacket it's absolutely beautiful and horrifying at the same time 🛸
Ngl what makes JJ scary to me is just the speed it can go. Like that man can easily go like 300 MPH if it wanted to I bet
You can hear a faint "Pop" when it accelerates sometimes. It can break the sound barrier at top speed.
Jesus
@@The_Mandog100 its honestly the coolest cryptic creature in sci fi
I was thinking rationally but holy fucking shit that thing can reach early Cold war Jet Fighter speeds
I bet he/she (?) only moves a little slower when chasing the motorcycle is because of her blanket-flap things that slow her down due to drag.
My roommate thinks smaller versions of these things exsist and that that is why hunters and hikers disappear...
Maybe it's babies?
How to not get eaten: don’t look at JJ
Funny enough.This is actually due to the fact that some predators recognize the whites of the eyes as a prey animal looking at them
I haven't looked at a single cloud the same way since I saw this movie.
i have to be honest, this movie kinda terrified me and it still does when i only hear the music.
Exuma, The Obeah Man still a banger though
yep the chimp scene too...
@@oldmonkey7720 terrifies me to this day tbh!
4:05 & 5:05 *_This sound is too much Celestial_* 🛸
Also, it's the same sound you hear when someone finds themself looking up at Savage Dad 🤣.
I was DYING at 6:52 when i first saw it in theaters😂😂😂
Same. It was the POP that got me lmfao.
Bro's fart was so deadly it killed himself
Masterpiece
4:54
5:28
6:52
i friggin love this movie
An amazing movie.
3:27 the way he he gets torn about the sound effects are terrifying
The cloud to the left at 5:37 slightly resembles a happy crocodile mouth.
I like how it doesn't have eyes so it uses echo location (and yes I know about the eye contact thing)
it has eyes (its the green thing) theres also eye holes if you look closely
also i dont really think you can echolocate in an open area
@@naiknaik8812personally i think the green square you see is supposed to mesmerize prey so it freezes in place
That’s bizarre.
The sound effects reminded me of Arrival movie.
Maybe this film is a metaphor (being consumed by what you create)?
It’s actually surprisingly a metaphor for animal abuse/exploitation
great movie.
You know every time I see this movie why does jean jacket does that popping noise and then I go outside I look at the clouds then I look right back down again
You can't tame the untamable!
I can't figure out why the Alien is called Jean Jacket? Thanks. 😊
They named it after a horse their dad was going to let Em train when they were kids, but she never got to.
@@pLanetstarBerry Great. 👍 Thank you very much.
3:25 also i don’t think jj is supposed to touch the ground if u look closely after it touches the ground he makes that loud roar almost like it hurt then transforms also at the end when he dies he is still floating
It was hurt from the barbed wire
@@IZA_Greyyea. The barb wire was the problem. Like eating a spiky stuff
During OJs run you see it literally fly out out of the ground and into the sky at the beginning of the run not only can it touch the ground but it looks like it can use the sand and dirt to hide itself like it does in the cloud
Jean Jacket:He Will Be Like Oh A Person And A Horse You Both Are The Next Ones COME HERE YOU CAN ESCAPE hahahahah NHACKK
1:08 is that people screaming?
Yep. Every time JJ (in saucer form) moves, it makes a ‘people screaming’ sound.
@@thatisonesussyboi2300 Not always - in these scenes the screaming is coming from the people stuck inside it recently swallowed
@@Wonzling0815yeah which is really fking terrifying
Especially if let’s say your on a hiking trail and for whatever reason you know and understand this thing and how it hunts and sounds and you hear a bunch of screams above you, potentially victims that were only moments ago camping but were unfortunate enough to be swallowed and digested
Your only defense being to look down as you know jj is right above you, the screams get louder as it gets closer to the ground inspecting you as if it was the hand of god judging your existence determining if you were good enough as to not be engulfed in the saucers unending maw, with the ultimate final test being to not look, to not gaze at your judge

3:12 When I first watched this, I thought that he was gonna be torn up by the barbed wire he was tangled up in
If this took place in New Mexico, it would've got high on meth
Huh why is it called jean jacket
Watch the movie and you'll know why
Named after a horse em was supposed to train but didnt
@@Reeeeeeeeeeeeeper oh okay
WOW? 5:00
I want to remind you all that this was a saucer a few minutes ago 4:03
Сначала я подумал, что это новый робот-пылесос от Илона Маска...😁
So is it meant to be a biblical angel?
His design is definitely inspired by one, but it changes his shape to gather more attention

It’s design is but it’s an animal
No not an alien just an undiscovered animal
Nature is such a beautiful thing
