The chimp backstory & the whole movie really are about the dangers of trying to tame something that's incredibly dangerous & unpredictable just for entertainment.
People continually get in very dangerous situations & instead of taking it seriously, they just think about how to get money & publicity.
@@AceOfSevens exactly, filming it, packaging it before it has even stopped
Exactly, it’s about exploiting things we can’t control
Yea, the problem is that the movie isn't really a good thesis on that idea. It's pretty surface level commentary... only giving the impression of depth by abruptly cutting to the same scene over and over again.
The theme that makes more sense for this film's story was the "obsession with spectacle" angle. But even this wasn't thought out as well as it should have been. The consensus seems to be that he was dialing back the "societal commentary" in this film, however he only really dialed it back in substance. The amount of film dedicated to this commentary is about the same as his other films, it's just short and simple commentary repeated over and over to fill the space. If you're going to dial it back, spend time on the plot or character's. Jupe could have actually been developed instead of just repeating the same experience from his past over and over.
People need to lead with this because everyone is say the same thing
Saying Jupe is just a side character who needs less development is wild considering he’s partially responsible for the events of the movie. His backstory is essential to understanding his decision at the end of the second act.
Jupe is a great character.
Jupe is The Human That Started It All. In every other movie, he's the corrupt evil businessman who is manipulating events to make money. Here, his is Chris Pratt's Jurassic Park character played to it's logical conclusion: You CANNOT tame wild animals.
That's the entire point of the movie.
The issue with his character is that he is gone by the time we start to understand his motive. But I guess that also plays into how unpredictable a creature is, no matter what kind of attempt you make in trying to tame or manipulate it.
@@ALTROCKER98 You didn't understand his motive? Just to make sure I understand what you mean, which part are you referring to: why he felt he was destined to make a connection with these beings or why he was buying the Haywood's horses and wanted their ranch?
If anything I wish he was in it more! Easily the standout side plot, fascinating character and great acting
@@Cityweaver You're right about the obvious man vs nature connection and especially Jurassic Park, but Jupe is not Chris Pratt, He's John Hammond.
Spoilers…
I feel the chimp scene is pivotal to the plot.
Jupe witnessed a traumatic accident on set with Gordy feels he had control over the chimp because of their iconic “fist bump”.
So that lead him to believe he can tame another creature because he knew how to control it with feeding it horses. Causing the creature to keep returning.
Exactly what I was thinking. I agree.
Did you guys understand the lady in the audience with the jacked up face 👀
When I figured it out once I got home my head almost 🤯 LoL
ALSO SPOILERS
I saw it as the risk of trying to profit off of dangerous things for entertainment, especially animals. Chimps can be trained, yes, but if something goes wrong it could put lives in danger. And things did go wrong and people died. Now this UFO comes along. Both parties tried profiting off of it. One was doing a live show, and the other was trying to catch a video of it. But because of that attempt to profit off of it, they pissed it off and people died because of it. Hell, even the horse at the beginning that they were using for the trailer got spooked and almost kicked a few people. It was just weird the way it was done in the movie because it was all focused on a character that was killed early on and then that subplot was just done. If that's the message, I get it, but it was weird to just set it up and end it so quickly.
@@DA1ANDONLY805 please explain. And what’s up with the shoe
And like the balloons popping -> Em/OJ feeding it with a fake horse pissed it off and cause it to attack the audience just like the chimp
Did anyone notice that the character OJ in the beginning would not look people in the eye? Then finally at the end he looked the monster (alien) in the eye.
That's really good!
Wooooow , amaaazing.
Yes, very true! Also, did you notice that the reason young Jupiter was not attacked by Gordy is because his eyes were covered?
Fam did anybody pick up on the white bronco? 😂😂 I think the horse’s name was Ghost but definitely a white bronco…hilarious
Jordan Pele is an awesome director for sure, all of his movies so far have been so clever. I just personally didn’t connect with this one and I’m kinda mad at myself 😂
Steven Yuen’s character never learned his lesson… he was again trying to tame a wild creature and it went horribly wrong AGAIN
Thank you. It seems like no one gets that.
Then he should've been one the main characters
@@ninjanibba4259 Oh? Why?
I mean he did learn his lesson when he got eaten along with his wife/kids staff and audience (being trapped in an alien slowly digesting while hearing the agonizing screams and terror of your family and knowing it’s all your fault probably has to be one of the worst possible deaths)
@@canering The second time I watched it, I realized his entire speech was one giant red flag: "I swear on the life of my family... I want to thank my wife for putting up with all my crazy... Or else none of us would be here..." Oh, it's so cringey. His entire speech was " I'm about to die!"
It's already kind of disappointing that he didn't realize that it was an animal. He wasn't born and raised wrangling animals, but he still worked with them. You would think he could tell the difference between a ship and a gurgling, moaning, crunching up its food animal.
*SPOILERS*
I think one one of the themes has to do with trying to tame a beast for profit. The showrunners with the chimp tried to do that, but ultimately the beast couldnt be tamed. The only reason I think the kid survived was because the table cloth veiled his eyes and he didn't trigger the chimp. Later on, the Asian kid is all grown up and he's the one trying to tame the beast for profit, but something sets it off and he can't control it. And so the cycle continues until our protagonists figure out what sets it off.
*edit* Also, what do the main characters do for a living? They try to tame horses for movies. Did that work out on the Hollywood set? Nope! You can't completely tame a wild animal, even a horse.
*Chef’s kiss*
This analysis is the best comment I’ve seen! Spot on! I found it interesting how there was always a ray of hope in the bleakest situations. In the midst of the chimp’s episode, Ricky focused on the shoe that was in a vertical position and it brought a smile to his face in an effed up way. The chimp calming down and trying to do the fist bump explosion before being taken out. Even when his co Star managed to survive the attack and was invited to witness the spectacle. Obviously the chimp attack mentally and emotionally scarred him. He and his wife had a type of breathing ritual before the show. But he still couldn’t tame the beast. Once the beast bit the hand that feeds, the food system became unorganized and that turned the dial to 100! It didn’t even feel like beast was in survival mode. Just in predator mode hunting for sport and asserting its dominance. The Human vs UFO aspect reminded me of the Tiger vs Snake documentary footage that the director was watching. It was interesting to constantly see a human bow his head to another physical entity (non-god). When we consider ourselves the top of the hierarchy here on Earth.
Hey....good analysis
I also kinda think the creature eating people is people is a allegory for show business it’s self.
In the movie, they even said something about how you can't tame the animals...you can only make arrangements.
I think Jupe survived because the balloons finished popping and the chimp went back to normal. It’s subtle but the predator eats all those people because the last people to feed it (OJ and Emerald fed it a fake horse it couldn’t digest. It’s like if you gave a wolf a rock in the shape of rabbit and the next time you try to feed it it decides to eat you instead.
The fact the main character’s name is OJ is hilariously spot on for the overarching theme to be about spectacle.
That OJ trial was the greatest spectacle in my lifetime. I remember it well.
I really liked the chemistry between the siblings, who seem opposites at first, but actually have more in common later on in the movie.
This is the first live action movie I've seen to do the Akira bike slide shot, and for that alone it gets a 10/10.
I’m a pretty quiet movie goer but when that happened I was like, “he f!?&ing did it!”
THAT WAS CRAZY!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I wanted to clap my hands so bad
duuuuuude saaaaame
Then you easy to please
Giant YEP for me and it thematically serves itself throughout. From the nature of beasts and how spectacle and attention can be our own undoing. I say give it time, this movie has classic potential.
Whaaaaa??? Did we watch the same movie???
@@GepsenLuv We did, and as you can see, many agree lol. Give it time, give it some thought. I wouldn’t blame anyone for still holding Get Out over it - but this was much more ambitious and imaginative.
DAMN nigga just give your opinion on the movie, no need for the big speech before it lol
The way Jordan Peele tackles familiar ideas in a way that feels fully singular & new is so special. I watched this in IMAX (SEE IT IN IMAX) it’s as rich & satisfying as his previous 2. Not what you expect (in the best way possible). As great as you hope. Peele remains on that next level and Palmer & Kaluuya are right there with him.
i seen it in 4dx (kinda like imax but the seats move) Ik this movie is rated R it's so intense for me lol
I actually asked DT if they would review/see this movie and they jokingly said NOPE 🤣🤣
That wasn’t funny
@@OGMillyMillz_ for you, NOPE, for others YUP.
Lmao!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 only DT smh 🥰🥰
@@OGMillyMillz_ Nice to see you outside of Robert storm's videos
@@bsmi1361 lol
Don’t listen to critics. See the film for yourself. I loved every second. If you like sci-fi, you’ll love it.
It was mid tbh
I went in expecting horror and horror is not what I got. Kinda disappointed
@@favianmadrid6345 it was barely mid tbh, the best parts to me, were the kids dressing as aliens and the chimp, the ending was a hard fail, and didn't tie anything back to the pervious things being shown. Prior.
@@PoyTroy Em got footage of the alien using the same method that her 3x great granddad was recorded in.
The critics actually liked it more than the audience. So you’re actually saying “Do listen to the critics and go watch it”.
Great movie. Full price! It's so fascinating to see a still relatively new director establish their trademarks. Loved every bit of this.
Double Toasted are reviewing this movie the way you would review a rom-com ( What you see is what you get). This was not a rom-com. They are missing a lot of the intricacies in the movie. Concentrating on the chimp ; when it's more about the balloons than the chimp. The balloon motif comes back more than once throughout the movie. Actual balloons, balloons shaped things, inflatable figures. It also establishes the fact that dude retires from Hollywood because of an animal going nuts only to go back and still exploit animals all in the name of the spectacle which cost him and his family their life. There's even more than that. I think this movie is as tightly written as Get Out. It's just not going to spoon feed you like most American movies do. Get Out overall is still the better movie even though I still think it is foolish to compare them.
I completely agree about the balloon motif, but we can't sleep on the blatant disrespect and infantization we show large dangerous animals, and then blame them when they hurt us. I felt so angry when OJ kept telling those people to stop standing behind the horse. How stupid do you have to be to stand directly behind a horse?!
@@Cityweaver Absolutely. I even love the irony that in the beginning for that commercial, they hire an expert wrangler ( OJ) in order to safely work with a potentially dangerous animal. Someone with experience. They fire him despite the fact that no one was listening to his advice which caused the horse to freak out. So it's not just the lack of respect and self preservation towards the animal but to the expert they brought in for their own safety. I wouldn't be surprised if the chimp handler warned the set's crew about not having balloons on set and they did it anyway. The movie does not work as well without Ricky's story line. His life is marked by the trauma he experienced as a kid, only for him to perpetuate the same mistake as he dies in the name of the spectacle just like the co stars of his 90's sitcom.
Honestly I thought it was pretty obvious that the chimpanzee stuff tied in with how Stephen Yeun's character sees himself and [SPOILER]. Honestly it was more compelling than the stuff going on at the horse ranch.
I will say it was excellent directing, story a little wonky. But that part inside the UFO sold it for me as a horror classic. Not because it was thaaaat great, but it was a very unique film.
It's not horror to me. Jordan says he's inspired by horror movies so people call his work horror. He does suspense thrillers. With a message. I didn't like "US" I understood it but it just didn't work. Get our was amazing all people say that. Its because no matter what your race your human so he was telling a black story but not like slave movies. But as a human experience. This movie was fun I didn't have to think to have a good time but there was a message to it. I want to write a movie about a person that tries to get the human race together but can't because the fight over nothing. Until the planet is at risk and then show how humans really are when we get together. I don't want to get killed though, when ever you allow people to know we are a reflection of each other. Something happens to that person.... we're all mentally slaves to our government and federal reserves 🤫😶🌫️ I didn't say nothing.. I'm just a crazy guy on TH-cam comments
It wasn't a UFO, it was actually the Alien.
@@cashaetaylor7466 Technically....thats still a UFO. It was flying, never knew what it was. I know, spitting hairs.
That scene was the only memorable part for me honestly. Horrifying but not sure it redeems the entire film for me. I worry that Peele had one solid idea and the rest feel like mad libs social commentary.
I thought it was a slow burn and had some interesting ideas. I wanted to know more about the alien. How did it get here, what is it. The Chimp had more story development than the alien
This was my FAVORITE movie! I thought Jordan Peele did great and I loved how he layered his messages throughout the movie. I’m definitely going to buy it since I wasn’t able to catch everything
I loved it. Jordan is showing us how versatile he is. For me it was much better than US and can’t compare it to “ Get Out” which was a awesome film but is just a different type of horror movie.
Agree
Same I liked this movie more than US for sure
I loved it too. I plan to see it again.
@Denavio Leeks Us was great in my opinion. The only problem I heard from anyone was that the film didn't reveal who made the alternate world and clones. That wasn't told for a reason
I liked US Better. I didn't Care for Nope that Much. it Had Great Suspense for most of the Movie But a Huge let Down at the End. I was on the edge of my seat for more than half of the movie & the half I felt was Boring & actually had me falling asleep. Gordy The Chimp Storyline was more interesting than the rest of the movie. I went in expecting too much. I went in expecting a major Mind Blowing "Twilight Zone" type of plot twist.
I liked the film. Its like a cult film. I will probably pick up more and more as I see it multiple times. Dope. Scary creepy weird
Btw I love the contrast between the characters... One being more introverted and the other one clearly an extrovert.
I didn’t understand why Martin was so bothered by that! I think Peele played off Keke’s real personality, just turned it up a notch. They made it seem like she was schucking and jiving!
OJ's character writing was brilliant, and made sense for a farm worker exploited by studios. He doesn't do the performative code switching that his sister does because he knows people don't listen to him anyways.
Headed to see it tonight! Can't wait to see what Peele has in store.
Me too Bro!!!!!
You want a cookie?
@D. 😫😫
Come back and let us know your thoughts afterwards!
Amazing
We don't get Mufasa's backstory and still care about his death.
Fair enough lol
I honestly loved it. It's definitely a movie that'll take a second viewing but it's gorgeous shot, great acting, slow burn. Peele loves movies and the art of filmmaking. It's a slow burn movie but that third act left me on the edge of my seat the whole time. But keke palmer was totally Chris Tucker 🤣
It's gorgeously shot I'll agree
I thought Daniel kaluuya was great tho !
I didnt notice it was a slow burn I personally was pumped the entire time. One thing I loved was how immersive it was, I found myself leaning forward of tilting my head like the character to try to see things. It was a cool movie and I had such a good time. Cant wait to see it again!
Keke was chris tucker and kevin hart mixed into a woman
Honestly I preferred kaluuya to anybody else in the film. His eyes alone out-acted everyone in the film
A B movie? I'm in the movie biz and a B movie is a low budget with no great acting! This is a A movie! You can't go wrong when you're inspired by Steven Spielberg!
A B movie is produced quickly and cheaply and is often considered to have little artistic value.
Korey is really off the mark with this review and I hate his review because he seems to be making a false impression. I mean the way the story starts and we get all these slow landscape and atmospheric shots, just isn't B-movie quality. It's like you said, A movie. A+ if you ask me and I know movies very well.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 ditto!
I think ya'll are misunderstanding what a b movie is in the modern age. Since star wars and Jaws, b movies entered into a level of prestige with good acting, production values and scripts, within a simple genre framework. and Spielberg isn't perfect, he's made some stinkers too.
really really liked this one. the subject matter is one of the few that genuinely freak me out and i think Peele executed it wonderfully. some imagery was downright bone chilling. it’s so obvious he has a love of Spielberg, i even elbowed my buddy half way through and was like “DUDE, HE’S DOING JAWS”. so cool
i’m in the minority as having Get Out as my least favorite Peele joint, right now NOPE and US are tied for me. gotta give this another watch, big fan of this movie
If you think that get out is his worst movie then i really dont think anything you say is credible
@@bigbanktakelilbankLABIH opinions are fun aren’t they bud!
@@bigbanktakelilbankLABIH did op say 'get out is the worst' or say 'it was my least favorite' ... truth be told get out is my least favorite of jordan peele's movies too! not because it's bad -- it blew me away -- but bc i find us and nope to be more fun. i like the specific type of campiness that the latter films have. get out absolutely deserves all its accolades but some of us just don't find ourselves rewatching it that much lol
I'm genuinely curious about your Get Out criticism if you felt like sharing. Was it too on-the-nose?
@@fortunamajor7239 It definitely has less to chew on, as you described.
I'm disappointed in your appraisal. I thought, "Get Out" was "Stepford Wives" almost frame for frame. You all are making the same argument as old folks that said, "sampling" did not make for good music. Come on, classics are curated from classics. All masterpieces draw from predecessors before them. This is much more on the cusp of originality than the "Stepford Wives" black folk reboot. Just saying.
Much respect for DT sharing their honest opinions and not taking the easy route, just going with the flow.
I literally just walked out of the theater from seeing it I was so happy when I got the notification for double toasted and this goes without saying that we definitely need a spoiler review after this video please. Thanks in advance
Do you agree with Korey and Martin?(sharpening my pitchfork)
Yeah especially the part where you feel like you’re watching Jordan Peele’s notes, it’s not bad it’s just lacks a little bit of tempo & cohesiveness in my opinion. I still found parts of the film fascinating, but I can definitely understand a lot of the gripes about it as well. This one is going to have a lot of people split down the middle you’re either gonna find things you liked about it or you’re either going to be like “this was some bullshit.”
Get out is still number one, I thoroughly enjoyed US(I saw it three times in the theater) and this one(Nope) is OK I’m just ready for all the TH-cam breakdown videos and theories. That’s one of the best parts about watching Jordan Peele’s films besides getting the double toasted reviews, are all the intricate breakdowns and theories that you find in Jordan Peele‘s films that I think a lot of people overlook for me that’s a joyous Addition to his movies.
I hope if they do a spoiler review that their opinions are different. This review feels as odd as the Resurrections one with how elements went over their head.
Idk if I’m tripping but was the creature getting bigger as it ate more? Cuz in the beginning of the movie I feel like the ship looked smaller and by the end it was huge idk , ima see it again and probably be wrong lol
Well, considering the type of animal Jean Jacket is, she's able to change shape and size when she wants to. Plus, I think it is fair to say that just like a snake, she probably gets fatter to digest a BIG meal.
@@Cityweaver why are you saying she?
@@ninjanibba4259 Why you asking? 🤔
@@ninjanibba4259 I mean, if you actually care about learning about sexual dimorphism in jellyfish, I'd love to talk to you about it. But before I go off on a lengthy science dialogue... What particularly grabbed your attention about me calling her female?
give it a couple more years jordan peele will be one of the best horror directors ever
This movie isn’t really horror
This movie and US kind of make me think that Jordan Peele is a better director than he is a writer. Because he can direct his ass off but when it comes to scriptwriting I think he needs an editor. He’s a great ideas guy but he doesn’t always know how to tie all of those ideas together into a satisfying and cohesive story. GET OUT is obviously an exception
I agree 100% on this. NOPE had some great cinematography but US was missing something
He's good at coming up with ideas, but he doesn't know how to gel those ideas together in a logically consistent way. The explanation for the dopplegangers was idiotic and hurts your head the more you think about it.
Exactly!! He actually sat down and wrote the scene where a giant balloon destroys the alien. Just bad writing.
Writing is where the money is... So a lot of creatives dont want to share that money.
The movie could have benefited from cutting some scenes shorter too. They don't need to be taken completely out, just shortened in the editing room a bit.
Did Korey not realize that every chapter was named after a horse?it didn't matter how long they were in the segment.
When the last animal name came up, Jean Jacket, I felt SO much hype. Let's go. Haywoods versus Jean Jacket. Let's go. Let's go!
Wasn't it a chapter named after the monkey tho? Idk I thought I saw it. I was kinda drifting off tho 🤣
@@TM-nb9zf yeah the first one maybe or the one where they show the attack.All the chapters were all the main animals in the movie including Jean Jacket
@@TM-nb9zf All of the segments were named after *animals* and I think OP was largely responding to Korey not understanding the significance of that. Each segment was reflective of each animal's personality. Ghost is wild and temperamental and that's where we are introduced to the "UFO's" behavior and it's temperamental nature is foreshadowed... Clover was scared and timid and her segment was when the horror aspect starting picking up speed. Etc, etc...
had fun w/ it but some parts of the film I will admit I was a bit mehhh on, Certain visuals are UNNERVING AF which is great & like every other Peele film Once it gets to the Reveal its like OOH SHIT, But I thought it was Alright, Also people with a certain Fetish will be very happy with one scene
Definitely sounds like the way you watched it severely impacted the review.
Jordan Peele getting the Michael Jackson treatment. Where everything after Thriller people kept over analyzing his work.
To be fair, most directors/ musicians/ actors always get compared to their previous work. I can't say if it's happening more with peele or not, but it's not unusual.
@@bluecricket6157 yeah I'm not singling out Peele, just making comparisons. I'd say the same thing about M'Night, there's the 6th Sense, then there's everything else he's made.
@Gregory Hill that has nothing to do with what we're talking about lmaoo
Wow, I feel like I saw a different movie! I loved every minute of it. It was actually my favorite Jordan Peele movie.
Enjoyed it the first time! On second watch, everything fully clicked together! One of my favorite movies this year!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Did anyone else notice the rival basketball teams fighting at the diner? It's like every other scene is layered with either "territorial and temperamental" or "show some respect". It's just everywhere. The themes are just this constant living, breathing thing in the film.
I dug it too. I like what it had to say and was really effectively scary. The digestion scene, the house “repainting” scene, and the Gordy scene genuinely scared me.
@@Cityweaver I hadn’t thought about that! Good spot!
I’m surprised you guys didn’t get the movie, it was such an intelligent movie.
The commentary on how society and media have this cyclical way of exploiting tragedies for financial and professional success is mind blowing in itself.
Yes, exactly!!
I think it cuts too close to home. They are part of the spectacle and dumbing down.
Plus, the blatant disrespect and infantization we show large dangerous animals, and then blame them when they hurt us. I felt so angry when OJ kept telling those people to stop standing behind the horse. How stupid do you have to be to stand directly behind a horse?!
Well said👏🏽! I watched it twice and was like ohhh ok I got it! The first time I was like huh? But now I love the movie. Unfortunately, Jupe never learned from the incident with Gordy’s Home :(
EXACTLY. I’m like is anybody going to mention he completely missed the over arching theme of the movie. I walked out the movie amazed by everything from the acting to the cinematography but I was missing the connection to Gordy. I had a 40 minute drive home and thought about the movie the whole way home and I came to the conclusion…which the dad verbally said in the movie. Some beasts can’t be tamed. As well as how humans treat animals for entertainment.
I hope they do a Signs retrospective review one day because I want to know how this compares to that. Signs is one of my favorite movies but I always get pushed back for it because of the goddamn water bit. Also I didn't like the comment about reviewers who are too much of a Peele fan to honestly critique any of his movies after Get Out. I mean it's just as likely you can't fairly judge this because of how much you respect Get Out.
Water is lethal to those Aliens so of course they come to planet that's mostly water. lol You could just sweat on them and they're done.
@@mudbutt234 yeah I know, still think the film is solidly suspenseful regardless. Also how I get around the water issue is the demon theory that they weren't really aliens they were actually demons and the daughter Bo was actually holy and the water hurt them because it was blessed water.
“They seem to have trouble with pantry doors.”
😂😂😂😂
@@mudbutt234 And they were supposed to Colonize Mars or Jupiter?
I love Signs as well. I think people got tired of his gimmick of having a major twist at the end but I have my theories as to why it is hates so much. Sausage Party is allegedly a masterpiece but a minister having his faith restored, all of a sudden the conveniences and nice wrap up that all other movies contain is a serious problem.
Just saw NOPE
STRAIGHT GARBAGE!!!
I hope Jordan doesn't turn into the next M. Night Shyamalan.
At least Jordan Peele got the Title Right...
NOPE
Not seeing that again
@SuperPunch76 Smart!!!
It will be Streaming Soon Enough.
Watch the Significant $💵 Drop in its second week
Nice review! Went out and watched it for myself , and enjoyed the film very much. The sub character that the movie delves into was not a waste of movie time for me, it actually added greatly to the plot.
Yes! He's a foil to the main two characters. He bought into the same spectacle cycle that led to his childhood trauma.
😂 at how martin felt about keke”s performance. Thats always been keke…loud and animated…since the tyler perry days…peele prob told her to be herself…😅
I was going to say nope to Nope but I had second thoughts when I say a longer preview. I love how all of Jordan Peele movies have a message. I know a lot of folks did not care for Us, I thought it was brilliant.
I thought us was good. Great acting, enjoyed get out more and am looking forward to us
Nice user name btw lol
I liked the movie until the reveal, because it's so illogical that it ruins the suspense. Where are they getting their clothes? How do they survive on just rabbits? How come no one escaped before Red if it has a fucking escalator to the surface?
@@Damar158 I think was supposed to more about theme then logic. Not saying that makes it okay. Just saying that's probably the reason
@@BluEx22329 thanks lol. My teenage son be like mom please stop it 🤣🤣🤣
Really enjoyed the film! That fucking chimpanzee scene scared the living shit out of me! The rest of the film was good but that scene stayed with me afterwards
I feel the same way. I can’t get that scene out of my head and I had my eyes closed for some of it.
@@angelabowen1818 I had my mouth hanging open the entire time. There's something so terrifying about a crazed chimp with blood all over him staring straight at the camera that haunts my dreams!
Jordan is at my movie showing 🥰🥰🥰 Corey is right about the “spectacle” is exactly what he said to us while we had our phones out recording him
This movie was amazing. I got the social commentary immediately and also thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle of cinema he provided us
Not even remotely closevto Steven Yeuns best role to date.
His movies have the fun that is missing from horror.
Do you watch Blum House?
@@LumumbaKShakur this is different than Blumhouse because it's not only fun that he brings to the film, but he also brings back classic cinema and grounded performances
@@theconsciousobserver6829 Yes. I'm not trying to compare Blum House to Jordan Peele's productions. He clearly is an artist. I wss just speaking from the fun angle. Happy Death Day for example is one of my favorite recent horror movies exactly for that reason. It isnt a masterpiece by any means but it is enjoyable to watch nonetheless and surprised me.
@@LumumbaKShakur mmm Happy Death Day...yeah that's why I said we shouldn't compare to Blumhouse because then things like this are brought up and it just....lol nope.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 The original poster mentioned fun missing from horror. I explicitly said I don't consider Happy Death Day a masterpiece.
I saw this movie Tuesday evening and a sneak preview screening and absolutely loved it.... If anyone on this comment thread has AMC theaters near them you need to go see it in the Dolby theater the sound system will blow out your butt hole
I'll keep that in mind.
@@pcharl01 dude. I can't stress it enough. I've become a threate snob. It's Dolby or bust.
It definitely worth it
The people screaming as the animalien was flying thru the sky had my balls in a KNOT!!!
That’s how I saw it too and you’re right. It was an awesome experience.
Years ago when Fry's Electronics was still big, they bought out the stores of another chain called Incredible Universe in California. Those stores had lots of 50s UFO movie props (saucers, etc) on display. Fry's in California kept most of that.
Some younglings may not know that 😃
Oh man i have great memories of Incredible Universe
When they went to frys I stood up I was like OHHH SHIT, we have a fry’s in Dallas and that place is gone now so it was so funny seeing it so heavily promoted in this movie.
@@overtherenowaitthere they were fun stores.
Dude, the movie went over ur head. Many of the scenes u didn’t understand, chimp, the characters on choosing not to call the cops and they way they respond to the situation was on purpose that was the point
Right. It's second hand embarrassing to hear them discussing it.
Did double toasted get this movie, NOPE!
I think the way people’s reactions with these encounters might be a jab at how today’s society tends to attempt to capitalize on events and what not, even to the detriment of themselves and others
It’s a creature flick, a very good one in my opinion. Plus peele puts interesting UFO theories in this movie.
I'm not feeling Nope. It's okay but nothing to write home about.
The chimp part brought back memories of that guy who told Korey that Bubbles pushed Michael Jackson down the stairs and that's how he died
Korey's right, the part about Gordy the Chimp seriously could've been it's own movie.
Well, it was the backstory to explain why the Businessman character, who in any other movie would be a cliche jerk only doing it for money, believed he was a chosen one who could tame wild animals. What would you have wanted to see in an expansion of his story with Gordy?
@@Cityweaver Well I don't have the writer/ director accomplishments but you could make it a story like build it up from day one of them coming up with the idea for the show, auditions for the family, find out a bit about the chimps used for the show, where they came from, were they mistreated in their upbringing, etc. Then build up to the point when the chimp went from "trained" animal, then heard the balloon pop and went chimp. Focus on the one chimp (because they stated they used two) that ends up turning and kinda foreshadow to the audience ( but not deliberately) that this moment was to happen. Then focus on the TV family, production staff, etc trying to hide and escape this now "murderous" chimp with of course Jup surviving still ( wasn't sure if the TV daughter survived, they never said). But something along that lines maybe.
@@thnzxc Thanks for brainstorming! A lot of people don't put the effort in like you just did, so I really appreciate it!
I see that you put a lot of emphasis on the idea that the chimps were abused.
The movie really drives home that wild animals shouldn't be treated like pets at all because wild animals are wild and our humanization of them just causes us to disrespect their natures. Like, a chimpanzee is five times stronger than a human, there's no logical reason to put a sweater on them and play with them. Do you disagree with that?
Hey, speaking of which did you ever hear that story about the chimp that did the exact same thing to its owner that happened to the girl in this story? Bite off most of her face.
@@Cityweaver Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, I do some story writing on my personal time.
Oh I agree. Wild animals are definitely that...wild. We shouldn't try to domesticate them like dogs because they're still wild no matter what. We especially like to play dress up and try to humanize apes just because they resemble humans. But as you know chimps are very strong and very aggressive, they're more aggressive than gorillas, at least gorillas only eat bamboo and other plants.
Yes I did, in fact the interview she did with Oprah is trending again on TH-cam because of NOPE. Horrifying thing to happen to anyone.
Gordy scene is great, but to everyone who says it could be its own movie are missing the point and the connection to the movie in its entirety. If it was a Gordy movie that one scene would Probaly be the climax. Other than that one scene it’s no way Gordy could stand on its own as a movie
I believe that Jordan Peele’s films have to be watched multiple times before you can form an honest opinion on it . Because there’s always hidden messages and connections that brings the concept into completion. Much love ❤️
💯💯💯
True, I had to watch Get Out 5x to actually grasp most of the hidden messages after watching hidden egg video lol smh
@@greenqueen2790 Get Out was the easiest movie to Understand. Now US is a very good movie because of the hidden meaning about Immigration in America
@@sonoisrael4660 next time start your statement with "in my opinion...or I feel..." thanks 😊
@@greenqueen2790 nah, they are right. The fact that you needed to watch it 5 times to understand it, and you are seemingly old enough to vote is scary
I loved it and had a fun time watching it! It’s been on mind since I’ve left the theater.
Why the hell does everybody shit on US? Great flick, watched it again the night before I went to see NOPE and I enjoyed it more than the latter imo
I agree, Us is a really good movie.
I am here for the Us love! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
@@RyannSettle2 Thank you for being DAT GIRL 🙌
@@austinmpc1 It’s his most inconsistent film that stans overlook
You are Actually all the way WRONG. The Asian scene basically tells you more about the meaning of the movie.
Wow .... Y'all didn't get it at all. 😂
Definitely my favorite of all his movies. Need to see it again but I think what really joy the most for me was the bond between our main characters OJ and Em. They played their roles very well and this might be my favorite performance from both as well
Lol you lying
100% agree
@@Rory4Sixty 😂 this shit was not enjoyable to me
@@Rory4Sixty you mad somebody enjoyed a movie that you didnt?
Movie kinda dragged on. I kept questioning why every little thing was happening in this movie. Movie drove me nuts. Seemed disjointed and all over the place. I was like, "Why the fk is there a mirror tinted TMZ guy now?"
Ok. Y’all are in the stage of life of the two old men rocking back and forth on the porch. Looking and judging other people as the pass your porch. Gotta bring down a brotha when he has high ambitions and isn’t following the status quo. This review just cemented that. Y’all are just on the verge of becoming senile and bitter all the time. Everyday and every review smh
You see it too?!
@@avonbarksdale91 Yup! I unsubbed like a year or two ago and came back just for this review. Sadly, nothing has changed. They just take everything for face value and their smarter friends have to bail them out and tell them the message. Then they undermine their friend’s intelligence by saying they looked up the meaning of the film online. They assume there is a deeper meaning, but are too tired for critical analysis. Hence the old man on the porch metaphor.
@@avonbarksdale91 I feel like they will warm up a little to the film in a spoiler review, but they might just double down.
I'm actually shocked at Korey and Martin's take on this excellent movie experience. I mean I'm not the smartest man in the world but I know good movies when I see them, and this one knocked it out the park. And somehow all they seem to be doing is shaking their heads, almost like they have to talk bad about it because to diss the film makes no sense, might be getting paid to negatively review the film from Disney. Lol who knows

I loved the film, think some points I got from the film is everyone’s obsession with spectacle, the monkey was on the show to be looked and with peoples obsession it killed them but Jean jacket (spectacle) they survive by not looking at it but it’s on our own nature to look at spectacle even if it’s detrimental (9/11, peoples obsession with serial killers) so that’s why they filmed it. A blockbuster movie that criticizes blockbusters.
Mike Evans Hollywood Reporter who discusses Hollywood stars/movies/etc on different AM/FM radio stations, said that this movie NOPE is a top notch movie!
I enjoyed this movie thoroughly
It was fantastic and Korey and Martin are all over the place in their tastes, Martin said he liked the new Resident Evil series, Korey likes stupid movies all the time. They are totally off base.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 having opinions you find contentious ≠ their opinions being flawed or inherently disagreeable
Cant wait to see it.

I think the Gordy subplot is extremely important & nuanced. I get that it seems like a waste for a secondary character, but that in itself makes it a bit more eerie, because it's quiet...maybe like...the alien? Stick with me. The Gordy subplot, IN MY OPINION, does the somewhat obvious: 1) it highlights the continued exploitation of animals for entertainment (horses, chimps, aliens) throughout the decades, & throughout the film itself, & 2) it anchors Jupe's trauma & evolves it into a control reflex/God complex. But I think it may also 3) offer another image of the continued dehumanization of Black people within the entertainment industry: how Black people were depicted as monkeys within political cartoons, & the use of Black face (from the Vaudeville days, up until maybe a decade ago, if that...when was that 30 Rock episode?) as an acceptable means to entertain a mostly white-catered audience. I think the Gordy subplot is wildly poignant & so aligned to what Jordan Peele has said is his mission within the film industry. And that subplot being there, existing like that, in the background, is exactly how white supremacy chills in the background of the entertainment (& basically every) industry.
This movie is pure entertainment just like twilight zone,,,,when we walk out of theatre it makes us think about it and talk about it ,,,,that's exactly what movies supposed to do ,,,,, it stays with you for it's bizarre nature setup folklore kind of taste with some mystery strange ,,,,,, hatching and nope are my fav of this year,,,,,,
It is definitely a movie with an unexpected experience
Well I was disappointed with Nope & US also. Get Out is still my favorite from Jordan Peele. The Black Phone is still the best thriller to see this summer.
Black Phone alot better than Nope
So I watched the movie and the more I think about it… i think I understand the movie, it’s some layers to this, an example of my disagreement of you guys would be the, why is no one having there minds blown, in the real world the government actually said we actually have seen UFO’s and no one is actually talking about it. Everyone just wants to video record it
Since the last trailer I kinda figure The Double Toasted dudes would classify this as a high rental low Matinee..... Trailers that don't show much unfortunately do it for a reason.
I didn’t really feel this one honestly, I was excited for it and I couldn’t wait to see it but I just left kind of disappointed
I actually applied to fry’s four years ago when I lived in LA . It was the worst interview I have ever had in my entire life . I can see why they went out of business 🤷🏿♂️
This guy next to me wouldn’t shut up during the whole movie.. I get reminded every time I go the the theaters why I hate people lol
I just finished the movie and I thought it was definitely scary. The cinematography, the tension, it was great.
It really was tense. That Gordy scene especially had he me on the edge of my seat.
I know Chris Stuckman made comparisons to the movie getting inspiration from the movie Signs. You guys also mentioned that. However, the fact that you guys seem to keep comparing this movie to something that M. Night Shaymalan would direct instantly tells me this is probably a movie I'll end up loving. I am a huge M. Night fan for most of his work. This would be the first Jordan Peele movie I would be seeing and that's exciting.
You missed out on his freshman then.
I think the Signs comparison only works on subject matter alone. I think IT is a better comparison in ways.
You should watch Servant
Came here for the review time to continue Peels message verse. His movies aren't as hit or miss as M.night shamalan's. Get out is hard to top and im all for seeing where his mind can go.
I gave up on M. Night after the happening and of course the last Airbender
@@Spawnwick_Boseman82820 split was good but I understand
@@BluEx22329 yeah, it was a good one
“This song is scary on its own.”😂😂😂😂
She got on my nerves in the trailer
What a ride! I left the movie with such affection for O.J & Emerald.
I really enjoyed it and hope others do too. I LOVE Jordan's imagination and creativity
I just get out of the theater and I think the message is more about how we shouldn't fuck with nature for our amusement and let everything be natural between humans and animals like the great great great great grandfather and his horse and not like Gordy.
Didn’t like this really once again for me the ending was whatever
I definitely feel like the characters not caring for anything else than to take the perfect picture is part of the social commentary Jordan is trying to display but at the same time, it's not needed cuz it's not that kind of movie that needs a message. It's okay to be a big dumb alien movie, it works in some cases but Jordan felt it necessary to add his signature elements and it doesn't translate as well as it does in his other films.
The message is what it is. He wasn’t trying to hit it on the head. It’s simple.
I saw it more as an other big monster or treasure movies they always end up destroying the evidence of an existing “like the real treasure is was the experience and you survived” but they make sure to let us know these characters are broke and need the money So you were also rooting for the characters to get the win for themselves. “We gonna get that OPRAH”
People think if you don't like it, you don't understand it. We get it, just wasn't impressed. There were some good parts but... Ehhhhh
Wife and I just got back from the theater, really enjoyed it! Full Price
I at least enjoy the fact JP is coming out with unique ideas rather than just making remakes…
Very original and entertaining.
Non-spoiler reviews are frustrating. They keep talking and don’t say anything 😂
Thinking the same lol
Keke palmer for best actress, what drugs is Korey on man, her acting wasn't that great.
Excellent direction. Kept on edge of my seat. But, I found it was a bit too much like Jaws. Down to the Robert shaw like character. Which Im very glad to see that actor again. Always thought his voice was badass. Very creative and original but not Jordans best
It's a bad film. Silly story and terrible character motivations. It's not a smart movie at all.
A 40 minute negative review. congrats I can always count on yall to crap on a brothas film 👏🏿👏🏿 😂😂
Yeah you know lol it makes no sense because they said they like Dr Strange 2 and that was a horrible film. And I heard Martin say he liked Thor 4 and I heard that was bad. So they're tastes are strange to me. I just got back home from the movies and me and my gf absolutely loved this film. Our eyes were wide open and things were definitely horrifying at a couple of points. 10/10 film.
@@theconsciousobserver6829 It's all subjective. Doctor Strange 2 isn't a Horrible movie. Unpredictably is lost on the masses
@@Gavin48 yeah okay brother, DS2 wasn't a horrible film. You can't defend that statement in court
Unpopular opinion: I really didn’t like this movie. I’m usually into movies with symbolism and themes. But what really made me dislike this is the writing, and pacing. It def didn’t need to be two hours. Only great thing for me was the acting but besides that I was really disappointed
The pacing was atrocious in this. It killed it for me. However, I didn't hate it, the subplot with the monkey was crazy and the cast is top notch. I wanted more backstory with Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmers' characters. Their dynamic was great but I wanted to know more. We get that flashback scene with Daniel's character and their father training what she believes is her horse and that's it. Overall kind of disappointed.
Ok CinemaSins
I knew they wasnt gonna like it 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 they totally missed the social message in "US" so this dosent surprise me
Just because a movie has a message doesn't make it good. His candy man reboot sucked.
@@detroitshinobi4995 Indeed this isn't some educational video, it is movie, it should be entertaining.
I’d agree with you but the reviews on this are all over the place from folks that I KNOW went in wanting to like this. I’ll still see it although gonna lower my expectations. US was great as long as you don’t think too much about the logistics…
@@detroitshinobi4995 that wasnt even directed by jordan peele smart one
Us still wasn't that good. It coasted on the success of Get Out bigtime.
Peele is definitely on his way to becoming the next M. Night
Yeah bro this shit was a dud
Disagree .
That's why I'm concerned. I want Jordan Peele to be successful. But, we've seen how M. Night Shyamalan's career went due to his arrogance. Peele needs to be very careful from now on.
@@JamesASharp Peele seems to a very loyal base of fans and critics that may defend some of his more mediocre films. Like somehow people ignored all the inconsistencies in US and pretend that it’s a classic
@@tropojay1 yeah because I don’t give a fuck where everybody in us got red jumpsuits and scissors from. That doesn’t bother me.
Why do i feel like everytime korey says he’s not doing something he really is subconsciously🤔🤔
Because he is.
