Also, about the TMZ guy, I think the reason he doesn’t get any humanity or respect is confirmed in the credits. His name is rider Muybridge, the real life name of the first man to record the rider on horse in Hollywood. Irl, he gets all the notoriety and fame while the animal and rider go nameless. In this film, that is subverted and the filmmaker:paparazzi dies nameless and faceless while the handlers save the day and get the glory.

I love how much the Gordy scene amplifies the whole don't look at it in the eyes concept. The cowboy dude feels like he had a connection with Gordy, the way he thinks he has a connection with JeanJacket. In reality his eyes were covered by the tablecloth. It's soooooo aweeeessoooooommmeee

This movie had two of the most unsettling scenes I’ve ever seen, the Gordy Show killings and Jupiter’s Claim being sucked up by Jean Jacket, excellent horror but god damn I wanted to walk out with my eyes and ears closed

If you look at the film through the lens of exploitation and spectacle, it really helps to understand it more. The gordy's home set never got used to one chimp actor, just a line of them. Jupe's childhood trauma was exploited in the SNL skit. TMZ will always announce a celebrity death before the family gets to. The haywoods were part of the first ever film made yet were ignored by history. Antlers was so obsessed with getting the perfect shot that he died for it. There's a huge amount to take from this.

The siblings had such great chemistry it really felt like they were legit related

I love how the alien was animalistic and the ship itself was the alien it's something new to the concept and was fun to see

Jupe thought he had a special connection with the alien because of the monkey accident. The monkey didn’t attack him because the table cloth was covering his eyes and he wasn’t showing teeth (so no aggression). He is traumatised but he never tried to understand the whole situation and just went the easy route of thinking he was special

The twist of the UFO actually being the alien is one of the most creative concepts I’ve ever seen in an alien movie. Hearing the horses and people screaming while being digested as it flies around is absolutely chilling

Yo hearing the people scream while their basically being digested fucked me up in the theatre. Jaw was dropped. I really like what Jordan did with some of the context shots.

And I love how Angel, being sucked into Jean Jacket revealed it’s “ Angel” form

the digestion scene left me traumatised. The visual of it, the people screaming for there lives, plus the claustrophobia. I AM DEFISTATED!

During the prank scene i was literally glued to my seat and felt terrified. When i saw the kid get up and reveal himself from the shadows i absolutely lost it

The Gordy/Jupe thing to me, was to illustrate that Jupe accidentally (by focusing on the shoe and not looking at Gordy) survived the Gordy attack, and that Jupe fundimentally misunderstood what happened and thought that it made HIM special. Like he was spared because of his "connection" with Gordy. This hubris directly led to him believing that he could "control" Jean Jacket and build a spectacle around feeding it. A lot of the film is dealing with the ego and entitlement that comes from believing we're in control of things, and our belief that we're actually entitled to be in charge of the natural world.

The tension in this movie is Built so well, it's actually so crazy that Jordan Peele has made 3 such great films. He truly is an inspiration. I was satisfied with the reveal and now when I think of it. This was a monster movie. A solid 8/10

The shot of all those people slowly being digested by the creature was terrifying

The Gordy's Home Incident is one of my favorite horror scenes in recent years. No supernatural happening, no dimly lit hallways, just a wild animal behaving like a wild animal does.

The scene when the ship is above the house, the screams just suddenly stopping terrified me

"Don't look up! I bet that's what he wanted to call it." Fun fact: before "Nope", Jordan Peele considered the title "Little green man". Also, here in Brazil, the title for the movie is not a literal translation and it is pretty close to "Don't look up". The title is "Não! Não olhe!", which literally means "No! Don't look!".

I actually found the Gordy scene way more frightening than anything else (that’s not to say the other scenes weren’t tense AF). It’s shot so brutally realistic and considering what a chimp mauling can do to a person IRL, it’s even more disturbing. It really made me say “Nope”
