I assumed OJ wanted to get it on film and use it for financial gain was so he could save his father’s farm. Although I could see how him saving the farm would connect with the idea of honoring his father. Hopefully I’m not misremembering things.

[@BillGriff1]

Both could come into play, but I think his father’s tragic death is what drives him more than money. Plus he’s the guy that says “nope” when creepy shit happens😂 making OJ the smartest character in the film.

[@haydenlee2696]

I think that the shoe was a reference to "the perfect shot" that they were talking about. I think a lot of the movie is also a comment on the Hollywood, or the entertainment industry as well. This movie was such a lovely onion of meanings with so many different layers and subtleties.

[@BillGriff1]

Sooo many layers. I’ve heard people go as far as saying Gordy is an Alien. The best thing about this movie is that you could make a valid argument about anything.

This has nothing to do with the video essay but the first picture of Peele eating the pineapple is a hilarious skit. I just watched the continental Breakfast skit today.

[@banditq8991]

a pineapple?!

[@stepherpeppers]

Just for clarity, Jupe had been "training" the alien this whole time by feeding it the horses. The first public show was what we saw fail spectacularly.
I think it's clear that OJ's motivation was to save his father's farm and confront the thing that killed him.
Fuck TMZ guy xD.
All the characters were well-written.
Fantastic film and your review helps do it justice.

[@BillGriff1]

Thank you very much for watching :)

[@thenormalpigeon1153]

Watched this today in a cold empty cinema, defo made it more creepy🤣great video as always man!!

[@rockettheracoon85]

Though the themes between the chimp and the alien are very creative and similar I still wish they could have at least substantially try to connect the two story lines

[@BillGriff1]

I can understand that, they almost feel like two separate films.

[@rockettheracoon85]

@@BillGriff1 yea the story of the chimp as a horror film alone would be cool

[@Hexsmasher2099]

I’m glad Lucky survived, he is indeed in a literal and metaphorical sense, lucky as fuck

[@maggiesaunders9713]

i watched this film twice in theaters and I know I didn’t get everything that Peele packed into this movie. So glad yt recommended your video to me!

[@BillGriff1]

Thanks for watching Maggie! glad I was able to help :)

[@brigit.the.seagoat]

I think the chip was an added example of the film’s commentary on animal rights but that’s just my opinion

[@BillGriff1]

Animal rights definitely play a part in human greed. I completely agree with your opinion

[@misterdonlon]

Excellent analysis my guy! Interesting stuff!

[@BillGriff1]

Thank you for watching :)

The phrase "money don't fall from the sky" is used tobdescribe the lazy and greedy. How did the dad die?

[@haydenlee2696]

I've never heard this phrase before but it makes complete sense. 👌

[@Hexsmasher2099]

A coin fell from the sky to his left eye

[@WaffleNova]

I hope you make a video on next months Long Legs

[@variousspaghetti]

Great constructive and critical review. This film opens a lot of doors for in depth conversation. Also, it made me look up a bunch of old chimpanzee television shows....so there's that.

[@BillGriff1]

Thank you for watching Spaghet! were there any references to real tv chimp attacks in history?

[@ElleLeNue]

I'm gonna watch this movie until I'm aware of the significance of 6:13. Or someone can just tell me, but it's driving me crazy

[@BillGriff1]

In my opinion, I think she memorized the speech to express how much she idolized her father, and most importantly longed for the relationship her brother had with him. That’s my guess.
