#YaBoyRoshi #nope - ZĂĄbava
Awesome movie!!
W Reaction as always you guys keep up the good work and grind â€ïž
I love you guys so much since the Avatar the last air bender reactions
Really glad you guys enjoyed this. One thing I worry about is how it was marketed.
Like how you guys thought "Us" was marketed, they also tried marketing this as a horror movie when REALLY it's a sci-fi movie with a few horror/thriller elements. That actually threw a few people I know off when they watched it.
Jean Jacket was inspired by the angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion. The fact that Jordan Peele is a horror and anime fan makes me happy! đ
Matrix Fan : is that the first time done in live action?
Trinity : Hold My Beer
The fact that Lupa was wearing a Kirby shirt in a movie of a monster that literally eats people like a vacuum is hilarious to me lmao
it's literally the same creature... đ
Lol I was thinking the same.
He was sweating so much too lmao.
Reminds me of the demon slayer reaction, my man was drenched lmao
IM TELLING YOU ITS HIS PREDICTIONS!!!!!!
the monkey thing isn't unanswered....it's a wild animal that Jupe thought he had a connection with. Jupe thought he tamed the money, but he didn't. The monkey avoided beating him to death because it couldn't see his eyes (obscured by the yellow tablecloth). Also, Jupe thinks that the standing shoe signified a miracle, even though it was just a random event. As a result of all of this, Jupe never truly learned the monkey's rules. It's a wild animal that attacked when it was scared, and it spared Jupe because he didn't look it directly in its eyes (it didn't see him as a threat at that moment). This is why the alien killed him....Jupe did not learn the alien's rules like Oj and his team did. He believed he could tame the alien and he died because of it. Basically, Oj's dad said that some beasts can't be tamed. People thought they tamed the monkey, but it brutally mauled humans....same with the alien.
Also the shoe grabbed Jupe's attention so he wasn't staring at the ape allowing to the ape to calm down.
@@JeshuaSquirrel brooooooooo I didnât think about that.đ€Ż
I knew everything else about him not learning his lesson and him considering that the standing shoe was a sign of a miracle.
But, never did I once consider that he was staring at the shoe and not Gordy
Ape *
Insightful observation
@@JeshuaSquirrel yes! Thank you for adding that, itâs one of my favorite details of the movie
For anyone actually wondering - the government changed the term from UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) to UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) because literally anything in the air that you don't know what it is is technically a "UFO" - a frisbee is a UFO if you don't realize that it's a UFO. UAP specifically refers to the phenomenon of an aerial craft/animal/object that cannot be identified by official means.
UFO just means "something in the air that I don't recognize right now," and UAP means "we tried to figure out what this shit is and we can't."
And as for whatever the creature is - it could be extraterrestrial, OR it could be a "cryptid," an unidentified species of creature from here. (UAPs can also be, and usually ARE, earth-based. They're usually things that just weren't identified at first, and are later on.) I think that's why there was so much focus on animals in this movie. You can't always explain why/how an animal behaves, like with Gordy. That's the same situation with whatever this creature is. A big thing with a lot of animals is DO NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT. They see it as a challenge/threat. Once OJ (Kaluuya) realized that it was an animal and that it was behaving similarly to some animals, he changed his behaviors. You have to learn as you go.
Also to sort between older and newer information regarding unidentified aircrafts
You almost got there. But why they changed it is to make it a broader term. Cause whatever unidentified thing in the air could not always be an object. It's more accurate that way. Could be a swarm of birds or just some weather phenomena or even something from the actual camera that's capturing it, UAP can fit both meanwhile UFO cannot.
@@langitkensahaja125 "You almost got there." Fuck off with the weird arrogance. And FYI, they changed it because it was TOO broad, you dipshit. I said that in my previous post.
I still believe the WAP "Whatchamacallit Aerial Phenomena" would have been much better
The reason Jean Jacket puffed up into its âjellyfishâ state is because it was displaying its dominance. Similar to how a cat will hiss and puff up its fur, or how a bear will stand on its hind legs to appear bigger. The wire Angel wrapped himself in hurt it, so it grew frustrated and began seeing the humans as a threat- so it attempted to intimidate them.
Jean Jacket's behavior is a lot like real animals, which is the point. Many animals see eye contact as a sign of aggression and will quickly become hostile. Many animals also attempt to intimidate whatever they feel threatened by. The reason it didn't kill OJ I assume is because while he stared it down, he backed up slowly- showing Jean Jacket that he wasn't afraid of it but wasn't a threat to it either.
I like that idea
It got cut up by the barb wire... Why does no one realize this?
@@HeWhoLoMeins138 Ya that was my first reaction too, its big fast and deadly but also clearly made of thin billowy material. Like a jellyfish tear a hole in it and youve seriously injured it.
Actually at that moment, OJ tried to make an agreement with Jean Jacket like he said earlier during discussion and succeeded in doing that.
I don't think animals are "showing their dominance", more like they're scared and tryna look tough
The cinematographer who sacrificed himself was earlier shown taking some medicine. Earlier in the movie he responds to "the deal of a lifetime" with "hopefully not my lifetime." The dude had a terminal illness. This was his last hurrah.
Damn, didn't even think about that
The way Peele just flexed on us with the aliens being kids scene. Bro just said âI could definitely do a typical alien horror movie if I want, but nah. Catch this flying Umbrellaâ
So true
I'd forgotten how good this scene was and how much of a flex it is
The Gordy scene scared the shit out of me because of how realistic it is, because if you know anything about chimps, you know that they will either kill you or make you wish they did
Men get it the worst, they go for the face and the nuts. Chimps and orcas are just pure b*stards yet everyone needs them for shows.
That was actually something that happened irl u can find the call online where the womanâs friend called the police while the chimp was ripping her face apart
@@ssplif5415 yeah what Sheera was talking about and it went crazy. The audio hurts my soul.
Yeah, it happened to a lady who had a chimpanze, she changed her haircut, and the monkey got scared or something and attacked her.
@@victor1189Fr, it made me tear up. Especially hearing the chimp screaming in the background while attackinf the lady
Jupe's obsession with Gordy shows how traumatized he is. Sensationalizing it was his way to cope. He really never moved on.
Right! He grew up being exploited as a child actor Hollywood, so exploiting first his trauma (charging people to visit the Gordy shrine) and then Jean Jacket is the only way he knows how to cope.
@@breezus3928 And now Jupe and the rest of his audience can cope over it in Hel- Heaven. I was going... to say Heaven.
It also feels like sensationalizing was how he was FORCED to cope. As the only uninjured survivor, he mustâve been interviewed dozens of time by so many news companies. Then with social media, tragedies spread like wildfire. And then you got people that make fun of tragedy, like SNL. Looking at his tragedy through a lens was all he knew given the environment he was stuck in
Sheera guessed one of the themes of the movie within the first 12 minutes with what she said about animal stress. People attempting to gain money or fame off of animals and 9 times outta 10 it never ends well. Jupe was the one who survived the attack by Gordy and thought because of that he could tame the alien when in all reality Gordy couldnât make eye contact with him because of the sheet. Great damn movie
Edit: Fun fact, Jordan Peele loves Akira and the slide was absolutely intentional
She nailed so many parts of this movie as it was happening. She even understood the significance of the chimp and Jupes reasoning for thinking he could tame Jean Jacket.
@@Russelshackleford Sheeragan is real
The fact that she clocked Mary Jo literally in the first scene is wild
I've seen an interview of him discussing that scene... the man was ecstatic that he got to do it.
@@theperson8539 I know exactly what youâre talking about! With how ecstatic he was Iâm surprised he didnât do it sooner
The creepiest thing to think about with this movie is that everyone just assumes that itâs an alien.
And not that this is itâs home planet.
That's the thing I've always thought of.
What if it's not an alien?
What if it's just a creature from a rare species that naturally is from Earth? How scary is the thought of that? That it LIVES here, that there are possibly others like it across the world that have never been seen. These things are the reason for so many unexplainable missing persons.
It's my theory that the creature is very old and inspire the design of Angels
@@danielruiz8259 Speaking on that, I thought of âpennies from Heavenâ with the coins falling down/one nickel impaling the fatherâs eye.
I also love that implies every "flying saucer" sighting was actually this creature
I heard several theories. Itâs either a evolved mutated species of jellyfish, an escaped government experiment (despite that the government wasnât around to get it back), and some say that Jean Jacket is in fact an angel
To explain Angel suddenly becoming part of the main cast. The actor was originally supposed to be there for a bit part, but Peele loved the actor's performance so much that he expanded his role to a secondary character. XD
Honestly based and I adore that Peele was like 'Okay, this character is fun, you get more screentime' lmao.
When this first came out people were really making fun of the way jorden peele made the alien look but personally if I saw that thing flying at me Iâd sh*t myself đ
Even the store clerk named angel was foreshadowing for the design because the crew interview said the ufo was designed like some drawings of the perception of an angel, a bunch of wings spreading from I giant white light in the middle.
It's easy to criticize, but much harder to try to come up with a creative design. I think people believe aliens should look fathomable to the human mind. I feel people typically expect a humanoid and/or clear animal-like design, but something that is truly "alien" could very-well be unfathomable to our minds. (Kinda like cosmic horror, I guess.) Not saying Peele achieved this, but he definitely did a good job in my opinion. I don't think it's possible for us to create something visually unlike anything that we haven't already seen. That would be the God-level creativity.
@@zangetsu1597 Exactly. Reading your comment, I immediately thought of the alien designs from Arrival. Another example of non-traditional alien design that worked phenomenally.
@@zangetsu1597 thatâs what I like about Jordanâs mind he designed an alien in a way no one els has and it really makes you think about how if aliens showed up they could literally look like ANYTHING thereâs a good chance that how we see them in movies wonât be how they actually look (if you believe in that)
He said its based on jellyfish biology. Ppl that know this understand its design and transformation.
What I love about the alien (who, BTW, was actually named Jean Jacket in reference to the untamable horse) is that it ended up being none of the things Angel first suggested it was. It wasn't aliens looking for peace, nor a world destroyer, it was just a hungry animal acting like an animal would. A really big animal with super weird biology, but an animal nonetheless.
what I loved about that line angel said is that it directly correlated to the expectations for the people who cam to the theaters! Jordan peele literally knew it too! every trailer breakdown of this movie referenced one of those things or both. Theories were going crazy lol.
Humans are also animals.
i love the alien design, very cosmic horror-ish
there's a guy that made a video breakdown of Jean Jacket's biology. It's super insightful. I recommend it
â@@c6rlos143 Ragnock Gaming?
one of my favorite scenes will always be when they realize the cloud wasnât moving
such a good ominous scene. Even the audience comes to realize that it practically has been sitting in plain view watching the whole time
Yes you see it in the sky the whole 1st act and don't notice it
The digestion scene was so unnerving, it stayed on my my mind for daysâŠ. I couldnât stop imagining how horrifying and disorienting it was for those people.
Flying around at zero G's inside JJ for hours is a nightmare
Yeah that scene really got to me too. Just the need to breath fresh air and only taking in gastric juices... uggggghghg
@@TkOHarley14 Along with body waste. Imagine if someone had to pee orâŠ.
Not to mention you can hear a lady throwing up
and then they died the end
â@@joshuanaylor3416 Well, to me, it wouldn't just be the squeezing/crushing claustrophobia and agonizingly slow digestion... but the darkness. Literal darkness, particularly when it became nighttime hours later when JJ was roaming through that rainstorm.
When Jube and his audience were first abducted, it was around morning/during the day. When JJ sucked them all up into it's gaping maw and set everyone inside it's "stomach", you could see (what I believe to be) natural light shining through it's body's soft tissue & membrane. Eventually, it got dark, and those poor souls were still trapped inside that massive beast. Trapped inside that it's tight, claustrophobia-inducing digestive tract, with 0 light coming through, is a nightmare. Those people were certainly experiencing Hell as they were being abducted, but to suffer several hours in a compact space, tightly cramped together like sardines, while being slowly digested, IN THE DARK???
I'd regret being born if that was me in there, over and over and over again.
The Lupa Sweat was strong in this reaction đ. I donât blame him especially at 17:00 đ
The video just came out how are you already 17 minutes in
Lol
Lmfao how is my my 17min in????
Bro used Zawarudo for 17 minutes straight đ
@@YaBoyRoshi I saw it on Patreon earlier and fast forwarded to that part again đ¶
Knowing what was coming at 16:50 , and seeing Lupa's forehead going from matte to glossy made my night xD
đđ
Matte to glossy đ
Dawg, it really did. In the span of like, 45 seconds. đđ
Ts is funny ah đđđ
Even the "nope" was an integral part. Everybody hears something in the sky or a disturbance and they look at it and watch it while the protagonists went "nope" and just got tf out of there, ignored it, and survived.
17:55 when Sheera looks over and realizes Lupa is sweating cracked me tf up lmao
fam i was looking for this comment lmao. love these mfs
I was wondering why she was laughing, i thought it was just at his reaction
Lmaaao i had to rewind to see if Lupa was always sweating. Lmao nah he started swearing for that scene! đđđđđ
I think she was laughing because of the face he made when he looked at her
The monkey scene was tied directly to the themes of the movie as it was all about "the obsession with spectacle" and the idea of a "bad miracle". The shoe was the bad miracle as it was tied directly to a tragedy but it's presence ended up saving Jupes life. As for spectacles and the obsession with them its how that obsession can turn tragic when it is craved too much (which also ties right back to Jupe and his thinking he was chosen by the beast and it in turn killed him and everyone around him".
this
What's a bad miracle? A spectacle.
Jupe said to the audience, "I bore witness to..." but instead of the expected "a miracle" he said, "...a spectacle." It ties into the opening bible quote.
That prank those kids played was legit scary. I was 100% anxiety the whole time. The way they moved, the noise.
All that anxiety switched to anger when they were found to just be kids lol.
They lucky he didn't own a gun đ mf thought it was a whole alien invasion.
Someone did that prank to me it would end the same way a punch to the face I involuntarily punch things that jump out at me it's how I react when I get scared it's why people who know me try not to do that.
I figured OJ would be the kind to carry and pop them lmao
â@@Bronze--Soulso what?
The monkey was symbolic in showing how you canât make things a spectacle because you canât control it. This can been seen with the horse being spooked as well
i meannnn it's kind of a paradox becauseeee technically it's still a spectacle in the sense that it happened (monkeys killing humans in captivity is rare , especially high quality footage of it).
A lotta people complain about non-anime reactions but I'm here for y'all. The chemistry and humor from YOU, THE REACTORS. Also shout-out to the editor for the hilarious edits here and there. Makes everything you react to, all these reactions very enjoyable to watch. This is a dope channel and I hope you grow bigger and succeed in every way.
I know, it's corny to say all this lol but I had to say it.
It's because they love anime that they recognized the Akira Easter egg, and I loved that!! I haven't seen a reaction that recognizes it.
Nah you right the edits be funny ah đđđ
there are two main themes that i noticed on this movie and they both get connected by the monkey story. The themes are animal mistreatment/disrespect and also the media's obsession with spectacle. Jupe processed the whole gordy thing as a spectacle and he did the same with jean jacket, which is why he died the way he did, he didn't learn his lesson. As for the shoe, it's kind of like a "bad miracle" that OJ references, which is a miracle because it saved Jupe's life, but it happened under horrible circumstances.
Another banger vid from you guys
Wait so explain what you mean by the shoe, because Iâve always wondered why it was like that?
@@decirto6454 To be fair, the perspective of the shoe is from a traumatized kids point of view. So it honestly might've not been like that, but that's how he remembers it. Similar to how he internalized the monkey going for the fist bump as a way to believe he can be someone to calm/tame a wild animal even though in reality, the monkey had no idea what was going on and if it's eyes weren't covered, it most likely would've killed him too.
@@decirto6454the shoe is generally up for interpretation, I get what OP was saying that Jupe calming down and even finding amusement at the standing shoe couldâve possibly saved his life. But I saw a different explanation that I agree with more which is that shoe standing is itself a spectacle. Even with all the horror and danger around Jupe, he was still enamoured by the fact the shoe was able to stand upright amidst the chaos. Itâs just another symbol to the greater theme of the movie how we canât help but make a spectacle out of bad things.
Just found out that Logan Paul, someone who was very vocal about his opinions that nope sucked and had no meaning, apparently bought a miniature pig named pearl and later after she inevitably grew, neglected it and abandoned it and barn owners found her near death beside another dead pig.
Couldn't understand, for the life of him, a movie about people attempting to use animals for clout without actually caring or trying to understand them.
Or people trying to make a spectacle out of something that should be taken seriously (Japan trip 2017)
The whole movie is Jordan Peeleâs criticizing and calling out on the film industryâs obsession of the spectacle to attract audiences, they do what it takes to get it even if it means to exploit animals
Gordy was a violent backstory but it was still just backstory. It was to explain why Jupe felt "chosen" to tame this giant wild animal: he's been traumatized by a similar situation, where he survived and thought it was because he had a special bond with Gordy. -- OH, Sheeragan came through. đ€Łđ
i like how sheera casually correlates the gordy situation to jupe's mindset towards JJ
17:11 the Synchronized Screaming is one of the moments that absolutely killed me lmao, love all three of yâall â€
Lupa already sweating before the movie starts is just him being ready for the bewilderment.
Jupe believed he can tame the UFO, because he thought he tamed Gordy, but the monkey was tamed because he wasn't looking at his eyes thanks to that tablecloth
The Ape is basically a realistic parallel to what's happening in the main story and an origin to Jup explaining why he is the way he is
I believe part of the reason Jean Jacket looks so strange when it's "spread out" is because the design is somewhat based off of an Angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
I absolutely loved Nope. The scene where they're inside Jean Jacket and where Jean Jacket rained blood on their house will always stay with me just pure Lovecraftian horror. Exploring the horrors of spectacle and the inability of humans to truly train predators.
I'm glad y'all enjoyed this movie, for whatever reason, a lot of my friends didn't really enjoy it. Maybe because the themes aren't presented in a conventional way. But I absolutely loved everything about this movie.
Edit:(Also love how y'all were really invested in this movie. Like at 9:24 Lupa already notices the groundwork for what the movie is about. )
I understand no movie is for everyone but it pissed me off that a lot of the criticisms from people who didn't like the movie was blatantly wrong bs like "the monkey scene served no purpose". Makes me feel like alotta people just weren't paying attention.
ngl i didnt enjoy it first time watching and i think its because i expected a faster pace. so the surprise slow pace and the fact that i didnt get the themes kinda ticked me off. after resolving the two issues tho, i have come to like it :)
@@rightguy200000 yeh a lot of peoples critics kinda made them look like they were just being unintelligent or inattentive. They treated Jordan like he was trying hard to be cryptic and out of the box but the hate just seemed so forced
@@rightguy200000 it happens a lot these days. Like, pay attention to the dialogue, facial expressions, etc. But unfortunately, people these days have short attentions spans.
The Paul brother was the perfect example of a critic that just couldn't understand the movie and s*it out of pure ignorance and everyone clapped him for doing the same thing years ago in Japan.
Listen!! Sheraâs theories come true every single time!!! đđđ
Sheeragan, baby!
Except for the "egg theory" on Train to Busan
The fake alien prank from the kids had Lupa sweating đđđ
Jupe thought he had a special way with animals because of what happened with Gordy. Gordy killed or maimed everyone else, but just gave Jupe a fist bump, and the shoe standing up just added to the surrealness of the situation and made Jupe believe there was some spiritual connection there when there wasn't.
The movie has a theme of control and respect. You can get horses to more or less do what you want so long as you respect their boundaries and keep them calm. The film crew at the beginning didn't respect the horse enough and ended up freaking it out. Jupe fed some horses to the monster in isolation but had absolutely no idea how it would react to a crowd of people all staring at it. He just assumed it would do what he wanted it to do because he was special, because Gordy didn't hurt him.
Also, Gordy just snapped because the balloons popping on the studio lights startled it.
6:50 lupaâs laugh extends my lifespan
How are you 6 minutes in rn
How tf the comment 9 hours ago but the reply 10 hours ago
I love the bookends of this film. It begins and ends with a balloon popping. It begins and ends with a series of still photographs. I also have a fondness for movies that spoil themselves. It tells you exactly what's going to happen by showing you Gordy upfront, it shows you the thing's mouth, and even that quote.
Other things I dig: The inflatable waving arm men look like they're people being pulled up when they're working.
The alien/megafauna/Jean Jacket looks like a giant eye when it's sideways.
In the trailer, Emerald does a spin right before she says the "skin in the game" line. In the movie she does the spin (again) after defeating Jean Jacket. (I wish they'd left the first one in the movie.)
I like how the Jean Jacket story explains her relationship to the family and the business. That was probably not the only promise that got broken so it makes sense that she doesn't prioritize helping out.
OJ *never* gets loud and does a lot of non-verbal communication because he's around the horses all the time. (Even when he yells for Emerald to leave and it echos he doesn't sound as loud as when Emerald tells him to run earlier in the movie.)
it also starts and ends with a shot of a frame around an image of a black man on a horse.
The message of this movie is that everybody loves a spectacle, which is why Gordy snapped and all everybody wants to do is exploit the alien, Kekeâs character wanted to get a picture in the end so she could become famous
The live-action Akira slide is easily one of the best cinematic moments of 2022 for me. This movie is so good and has so many layers that you learn something new every time you come back to it.
17:53 sheera trying not to laugh at lupas sweat đ€Ł
I'm sorry but the duality of everybody getting demolished by Gordy and Roshi just focusing on the lady's shoes ended me. And all of them. And Gordy.
considering that jupe staring at the shoe instead of gordy was part of what helped save him it actually works really well. lol
A thing that no one really realizes is the non ufo form of Jean is inspired by biblically accurate angels , they are very similar to Jean in appearance and pele said that in this universe people mistaked these creatures for ufoâs and angels
To help out with how the monkey scenes connects, it does relate to quote about the spectacle. the primary theme of the movie is how human society make spectacles out of everything for example the tragic accident with Gordy becoming immortalized in a SNL skit.
later, we see how Jupe internalizes the incident and thus tries to do the same thing to the alien that was done to Gordy. Its why i love the only way to defeat the alien is to not look at it in the eye, thus to not partake in the spectacle itself. Also theres a lesson about animal nature.
Jupe adds another great layer as being apart of the spectacle himself as a marginalized child star, SO MANY LAYERS with this one!!!
Was 10/10 theater experience for me!
The monkey scene actually shows a perspective of the Glenn character because he didnt look the monkey in the eyes, the reason he survived the attack is because he was staring at the weird shoe like the Alien you dont look it in the eyes. Thats the whole point of the monkey part
was not expecting this reaction but Iâm very grateful for it
roshi going âwhy you sweatin??â will make me laugh EVERY time
When asked about the animal touches in his film, Peele describes the use as "a reminder of how we treat anything that doesn't qualify as humanâ in an interview with Fox Washington DC.
the tablecloth covered jupeâs eyes and thatâs part of the reason it didnât attack him, but he likely assumed he had some sort of special ability to connect with and tame animals only to realize he was wrong in the end
so iâve watched this a number of times, and thereâs a LOT to notice! one of my fav details is the relationship between the siblings. one is reactive and charismatic, the other subdued but disciplined. OJ was perfectly suited to train horses, but emeralds energy made the dad decide not to train her. since then sheâs been fighting to prove herself and be successful in her terms, but the two are only successful with each other! she has dads charisma, and oj has dads discipline.
i also think, as a pet theory, that OJ and emerald both display a lot of traits of autism and ADHD respectively. i know iâm painting in broad strokes and itâs not universally true, but kids with autism tend toward logic and rules, and adhd is connection and expression. the two represent extremes and balance each other out.
i worked at a camp for kids with learning disabilities, and one of the things i loved watching is seeing the kids with autism and adhd learning to work with each other, because if you can handle an extreme, you can handle anything in between.
i really love this movie and the story it tells. both of their flaws alienate them, but together theyâre strengths. emerald is the only one that can bring OJ out of his shell, and OJ is the only one that makes emerald feel seen. their trust in each other was so well built!
itâs a fairly straight forward movie but there are SOOO many details to notice!
OJ's aversion to eye contact too, if he was written as autistic it might be the best depiction of it I've ever seen
@@mainstreetmafia6605 honestly! these characters were crafted with such care, and after all my years working with neurodivergent kids i couldn't not see it!
I JUST watched you guysâ Bullet Train movie reaction two days ago and started to wonder if you did NOPE. Kinda crazy how you all uploaded now this is perfect đ
I think one of the main reason they wanted footage goes back to their ancestor who was filmed and forgotten yet the footage of him was more than famous and made many rich. He didn't get paid so the fam is trying to make sure this time they are on the other side of camera where the fame, wealth, and opportunities live!
As far as I understand it, the cool thing about using the well camera to capture the 'Oprah shot' is that that type of old-school analog camera is near impossible to spoof
yep, and the fact the jupe balloon can be seen in it also means they have a reference for scale.
41:39 âWhat am I looking at?â - literally all of us at that exact moment đ
You know it's gonna be a fire reaction when Lupa is already sweating in the first minute.
There are a lot of symbolic meanings from just the standing shoe itself, there are many theories for it but my favorite one is that the shoe was quite literally the embodiment of the saying "waiting for the other shoe to drop" which means to wait for an expected and inevitable event to occur. Gordy went riot by his animal instinct because of the popping balloons, reminding us that no matter how cute looking or gentle a wild animal appears to be, it's still a wild animal. If you remember in the flashback scene another balloon (the last balloon in the room) popped when he start killing that other dude. And the moment Gordy starts sitting looking confused about what happened or what he just did, there was no other balloon that could trigger Gordy again and there was only one person left at the scene who still lives. We subconsciously expected what was gonna happen next, Jupe's going to die, but the thing is he didn't, or at least not yet so at that moment we were eager to find out what was gonna happen next, we were waiting for the other shoe to drop in the entire film just like Jupe did at that moment, to reveal us of what's gonna happen. And the shoe drops when Jean Jacket happened. We've always known that Jupe's gonna be the next victim, it was inevitable, it just didn't tell us by who or what. It's so simple and yet deep at the same time I love this film so much.
Jordan Peele was in talks to direct a live action Akira, but he decided that he wanted to focus on original content and passed on the project. The slide is a nod to that.
I like how in 17:00 we see Lupasan face is completely dry, but after that whole scare he was sweating bullets
26:17 one of the most disturbing scenes ever
That random Akira reference in this movie reminds just how influential that anime was and still is.
See Sheera's take on the whole monkey thing makes a lot more sense because I was genuinely upset that they never explained it and it left me confused.
13:24 Fry's Electronics; this specific one is located in Burbank, California. Just a hop, skip, and a jump away from all the major studios. The franchise closed permanently nationwide sometime during the middle of the pandemic lockdown, and was notable for the sci-fi dioramas of famous classic movie aliens, robots, and giant mutants that lined the aisles.
The "Akira slide" was totally on purpose. Jean Jacket is actually based on an angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion (and how it's described). Jordan Peele is a big anime fan and makes lots of nods to them : )
Casual Geographic did a video on the real life inspiration of the monkey attack and how it relates to Nope. I'd highly recommend it.
This movie was amazing to me.
Holy shit im so glad yâall watched this. I swear I have tough skin when it comes to stuff in movies but fuck the screaming in the sky marking where itâs at and the scene where everyone got ate still have stuck with me after watching the movie several times đđđ
Even for the reaction my heart was pounding. How do people have that s*it as a kink.
@@x0gucx bro I have no idea đđđ mfs who see shit like that and say âwish that was meâ need the electric chair
Yeah the screams from the sky realizing these people been trapped flying around in that thing and don't even know where they are is disturbing af
30:22 I'm dying. I've replayed this like 5 times. Here's a timestamp for those who also wanna keep seeing that đ great reaction y'all. I wish i saw this in theaters but sadly i had to miss it but it was still a wild ride
Two things about the monkey scene
1) It's suppose to represent how our own desire to consume spectacles or what we perceive as spectacles of the out of norm often leads to our undoing
2) The show stand up drew Yeun's younger characters attention away from the ape, the Ape like the Jean jacket space ship sheet thing saw these characters as a none threat once their attention was off both spectacles (Ape or Gordy and space ship)... Gordie and the space ship for humans are seen as spectacles in this movie, if you look away from them you're out of harms way because you're no longer seeing these threats as larger forms specificals
The subtle little Easter eggs in the movie is so good! Like the UFO on the back of the jacket
The alien Is designed in such a way that you canât fully tell what it is because that way you canât give it human qualities, or a face. We, psychologically, are always trying to find the âfaceâ of everything so we can humanize it and understand it. Things we canât find a face to make us uneasy, confused and uncomfortable. The design of the alien is pretty smart actually.
This movie hit real for me as someone who grew up in the general area of this shit. Seeing them driving on the freeway, Agua Dulce, and shopping at Fry's Electronics, that shit drew me in for real. They really used the area in a way that's believable and I loved it
It's so funny that when they get scared in jumpscare/horror playthroughs on stream, they respond with "yeahhhhh????" instead of nope XD
love the channel and the work you put into your content!!
I feel like KiKi Palmer is the main character of the Film.
She goes through a huge character development through the movie, from wanting to live out her dreams of being a Hollywood Star, to ending up fighting for her family's legacy. She ends up not only losing her own brother (her last family memeber, her own flesh and blood) to wanting the Oprah Shot, but she ends up "taming" (killing) Jean Jacket.
You can imagine your own interpretation for what the ending showed, but I personally think OJ dies, which plays off on Emerald having to do the problem on her own, which she finally did with a huge life changing event.
It's very symbolic of how she wanted to tame her horse, and she does so in the form of a giant animal in the sky.
Also, if you look closely at the Jupe Balloon in JJ's mouth, you can see that the part thst popped was Jupe's finger, symbolic to how Gordy died from a gun shot to the head.
God, I just love this movie so much. Definitely my favorite movie of 2022.
36:29 THAT SCREAM SOUNDED HEAVENLY????
Most accurate portrait of black people in horror situations: "oh hell nah"
So in regards to the monkey thing, I believe it was meant to show that when the animals are around it, they freak out and donât know how to react to it because they canât see it similar to fight or flight, Jupe trying to fist bump him was him trying to calm down and relax the monkey with something that it is familiar with like a dog being hugged when itâs afraid of lightning so that he wasnât freaking out like that anymore.
I think i saw somewhere that it has to do with the fact the jupe romanticizes his trauma and because gordy didnât kill him he thinks the alien wonât either. He thinks he is some chosen one type shit, which is just tragic. Heâs definitely the best character imo.
Nah Gordy went berserk because of the balloons not JJ. What they share in common is that they were both dangerous animals treated as props and not seen or respeced for the threats that they were.
@@Nini-kc5ss That actually makes a lot of sense for why he was so interested in the props from the show and why he had them on literal pedestals.
@@BronyGaming-or8kv yea, i think that shows how he idolizes the event, which is just such a unique way of showing his style of coping.
I find it surprising everytime I look at it, that this channel is not over 1M subscribers yet. It is easily one of the best reaction channels.
Speaking of Steven Yeun. I think, according to an Instagram and twitter post, an Invincible season 2 trailer should come this month or next month
People can say what they want about this movie, but what happened to that crowd (and how it was portrayed) is probably one of the single most disturbing things I have ever seen.
17:00 - 18:00 why is Lupa went from dry to wet so quick? He done it in just one minute
Did what in one minute? Pause
@@ayeitzdj u donât see all that sweat on his face? đ
The funny thing is no one will believe that the photo is real even after what they went through.
They have the film too JJ spit it out with Angel
It's just for exposure, really. "Getting on Oprah". Doesn't matter if people believe it or not. They got their money shots.
I was waiting on yâallâs reactions. This movie was insane
Lupa here lookin like a glazed donut this whole movie..đ
You guys are awesome.
My second favourite Jordan Peele movie right after Get Out.
Nope is a fun ride with a deep message hidden in-between the lines.
Based on the poster - which looks like a halo over his head, and the fact that the entity is rather terrifying to look upon... I can't help but think maybe it's a Biblical angel. Not the kind we're presented in most art, or modern media.
I remember when Logan Paul was complaining he didnât get the movie, and not realizing he is the âTMZâ guy, for what he did in 2018 in Japan
Lupasan drenched in Sweat like yâall just finished Water boarding him at the beginning of the reaction before actually reacting đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Gordy is plenty answered. Trying to train wild animals for our own human spectacle. Which Jupe continues to do. The balloons were popping from the heat of the lights on set.
This movie is amazing and I love hearing the different ways people interpret some of it's imagery, like the shoe standing up, the correlation between Jean jacket and Gordy the chimp, it's just so interesting to have a movie that makes people truly think about it for days afterwards, I think even the people who hated it can take something away from it. Definitely my fave Peele project so far.
The connection to the sitcom-monkey, as with the horses in the commercial shoot and then ultimately the ship-creature, is to parallel the dangers of trying to tame dangerous animals while not respecting their natural instincts and tendencies just for our entertainment.
Sheera got like, 90% of what what happening I'm legit impressed, this movie takes most people two viewings
Sheera can break down and understand movies, animes, shows so well đ lol sheâs definitely the back bone of yâall team đ I had to yt the movie after watching it to understand what happened and they said the exact same thing sheera did lol love yâall †my fav reaction yters đ been a fan for a cool min đ
okay so the creature is based off of a real life ocean creature found in the deep sea and jordan peele used the navy clip of a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) flying over the ocean. Peele also said he wants to make another movie/series to further explain on this universe. and from my nerdy ass: it was hiding in the clouds because clouds are full of water, and was really active when it was raining, which would make sense for the UAP to live.
also this movie was crazy asf i definantly wouldve accidently peeped at the creature at least 10 timesđđđ
fun fact that I personally don't know is true but could be is that Gordy actually used sign language to ask Lupe "what happened to family. " cause he had blacked out when triggered by the popping of balloons
Nope...Signs but darker and funnier at the same time...Jordan Peele really surprise us in the right way with his projects !! It's refreshing for the horror genre !
29:05 THIS SCENE BRO OMGGGG
Did you hear Sheera's girly scream? Oh wait...that was Lupa.
the chimpanze thing is about how you can never really tame a wild animal, its a parralel to the horses and i think the alien aswell
That digestion scene on IMAX still haunts me
This is why you all are the best you all understood this movie so well.
