When young Jupe is hiding under the table during the Gordy scene, Gordy comes to the table and sees Jupe, but the camera from Jupe’s point of view shows that the edge of the table cover is obscuring Jupes ability to look directly into Gordy’s eyes
He was also focused on the shoe landing upright, so he kept looking away from Gordy. Also when Gordy calmed down and went for the fist bump, it made Jupe feel as though he could tame a predator, hence why he tried to take Jean Jacket
Something I noticed my first time around was that the balloon popped killing the alien, but for gordys world the balloon popping is what set off Gordy…
Which ultimately let to Gordy's death as well. Two human inventions, inflated with helium, causing the deaths of two animals that were extorted for profit and fame.
I know the overall movie talks about human temptations on spectacles but I really like the idea that aliens visiting earth should not be assume to be advance but could just be like any animal on earth
That's what always annoyed/confused me about "The Thing"- an absolutely BRILLIANT film no doubt, but it's like a bacteria/disease but it also needs a spaceship?? What the what??! Yeah, loved this concept MUCH better
Ok cool!! Cuz I was trying to figure out what that nickel might have been a reference to! The camera lingered a little too long for it just to be a thing that killed the dad. Thank you!
One of the scenes that really stuck with me was the key in the white horse’s back (ghost). Horses getting locked in trailers, in stalls, the in the glass box. Perhaps it’s looking at the idea that humans think we can lock up the natural world and only let it free when it suits us. That key image was big. There is a lot to explore there.
@@Jeremyymarquez I had chills during that part, personally. It wasn’t “dancing”, it was making itself bigger to appear more menacing since it felt threatened, just like an animal would do (which it was). Hands down the best part of the movie for me.
I see a lot of questions about the shoe during the Gordy scene. The reason why it’s important (and why Jupe kept it for his display) is because it saved his life. Jupe was fixated on the shoe, thus avoiding eye contact with Gordy. And avoiding eye contact with Jean Jacket was discovered as a life saving tactic by OJ. A huge theme of this movie: you can’t tame a predator. It’s a miracle my two 70-pound dogs never tried to eat me. 😂
I've also read some theories about the shoe referencing the idiom "waiting for the other shoe to drop" like the traumatic event at the Gordy's Home set was the set up and the Jean Jacket blood bath was the punchline. I also read about how the shoe sitting up was an example of a bad miracle. OJ mentions something about bad miracles at some point in the movie. Anyway, interesting stuff.
The creature's true form at the end of the movie made it look exactly like the Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion. Even the center that was like a cube looks exactly like the inner core of the Angels.The way it was pulsating was also very reminiscent of Neon Genesis Tenshi. Peele was absolutely inspired by not just the bible, but Neon Genesis in specific.
you can also see the similarities of the animal to the extinct RADIODONTA. Check out the mouth openings of the Anomalocaris, the Peytoia, and the Hurdia!
Peele confirmed in an interview that Nope had a double meaning. It’s both a reference to the reaction to something scary, like OJ’s several reactions of “nope” throughout, and an anagram: not of planet earth.
@@davefickess7973 Peele said that the name Nope was actually what he thought the audience would say in reaction to seeing the scary parts of the movie. That's why he named it Nope.
Honestly, I loved this movie so much. It’s one of my favorite movies of the year, I was just so blown away. I personally view it as Peele’s love letter to the filmmaking process and I love how there’s so many ways to interpret it.
I agree... so many different interpretations. Peele is definitely digging deeper into his horror filmmaking bag. I feel like he makes it easy to follow his direction in all of his films.
The star lasso experience scene, from the beginning of the speech to the shot of the person in the esophagus was pretty close to being 6 minutes and 13 seconds long.
He says to the audience at that lasso experience that in an hour you will leave changed and then an hour later the movie ends so it was Jordan implying that when this movie ends you will be changed which for many people it did.
No one is talking about being gathered around a table singing Purple People Eater as a direct reference to Jaws, when they prepare for the hunt on their boat?
Signs is one of my favorite movies of all time , and Nope gave me so much of the same vibes !! Absolutely loved this movie. My whole theater was screaming during that little kid alien costume scene
I yelled out Whst the F$#& during that alien scene, and there were only three people in my screening. LOL. All three of us verbally responded to that one, so creepy. And does anyone notice the Aliens that Jupe designed for his theme park kind of look like the cameras from the 90s sitcom? There's even three in a row, like the three aliens in the barn.
As always with his movies he gave us a lot to break down. OJ the white bronco, “run oj run” spectacle. How OJ didn’t look it in its eye until the end in fact OJ was really detached from everyone but when he does look it in the eyes it changes? I definitely seen a monster similar to Jean Jacket before but I can’t remember where? Angels are alien to earth so both can be true. Good flick
Towards the end, when we see it’s “True Form.” It looks like a jellyfish, but also acted like a snake, by the way it sounded like a hiss- to let you know it’s a predator and you are the prey.
We definitely need a part 2 review to break down all the other wierd stuff happenin in the movie... the shoe, the true form of jean jacket, the reason jupe was spaired by gordy
I think Jupe was not mauled by Gordy because they didn’t make eye contact. Jupe’s face is covered by the table cloth. When watching from Jupe’s perspective right before Gordy is shot you are looking at him through the cloth.
I think the shoe standing up is playing on the whole "bad miracle" thing. The shoe miraculously standing up like the gave something for June to focus on, which meant that he never made eye contact with Gordy and that's part of the reason he survived
I love that the ufo was so unique but so cliche at the same time, I love that Peele made the creature seem like a classic saucer shaped ufo that abducts cows it was really awesome
I didn’t really notice that the alien at its full form actually does resemble accurate depictions of aliens in the Bible, further pushing the idea that the alien was always there.
@@Supanikaa89 I just think it’s a interpretation on what it should look like, if it really looked like one- it might’ve been like too on the nose for us as a audience? But there’s some resemblance to it.
Ooh. I like the biblically accurate angel angle! Speaking of Akira during the scene when you see a person inside the creature it reminded me of when people were engulfed by the giant Tetsuo baby.
The reason the song "Sunglasses at night," plays when OJ gets back with Lucky is because the group now could have worn sunglasses to block their eyes from Jean Jacket, even at night :0
Yep it was Center framed too. They wanted us to notice it. But I do know that people take note of weird anomalous stuff after witnessing major tragedies. Like Jupe has to focus on it because or the massacre around him.
The shoe represented the idea of "waiting for the shoe to drop" in a literal sense, it was what they referred to in the movie as a bad miracle. Jupe was fixated on the shoe while Gordy was attacking the family, it caused him not to make eye contact with him thus keeping him safe, hiding under the table through the veil.
It's been a week or so since I've seen "Nope", twice in the theater. And damn. It's just a fantastic movie. It just stays with you, and leaves me wanting so much more. Jordan Peele is such a fantastic director, and will gladly give him all my money when another one of his projects drop.
Am I the only one who was more intrigued by the story of Gordy than the actual movie itself? Also, I thought the Gordy plotline was gonna connect to the alien plotline somehow.
I feel like the alien being named "Jean Jacket" could be a reference to "JJ" or "JJ Abrams" who produced 10 Cloverfield Lane which had an alien spacecraft that actually was the alien itself just like this one.
I love how the alien is like a balloon and even gets taken out by a balloon. The alien's exploded remains and undigested non-organic material that it expelled would be similar to weather balloon wreckage (Roswell coverup).
Guys a Praying Mantis is symbolic of many things but one on a house is symbolizes Angels watching over that house. And during the time Angel was literally watching over their house
@@nva_the_loonarmy green represents transformation,positive change but it’s also means greed and nature. The minute Jupe tried to profit off Jean Jacket it was straight up chaos
okay gonna seem random but while watching the movie I counted how many times they said the word "nope" and they said 6 times. kinda loose but could be related
me and my friends were talking about how similiar JJ looked to a serephim with are the highest ranking angels, they also are covered in wings with eyes all over (but in this case JJ only has one eye but its almost all seeing like when it knows youre looking at it almost as if it has more than one)
As much as I don't want to see the scene of the Jupiter's Claim crowd being "abducted" again, I really do think I need to see this movie a second time.
I feel the same way. That scene was hellish. Of course, the Gordy's Home scene was horrific in its own right. The veiled lady's disfigured face sent chills down my spine
I'm wondering if the UAP is an just an Animal Alien. That's why it is beautiful and Animalistic. It's just lost and has found a place with food available and is hiding and coming out to eat.
Best part is with this movie coming out, the whole tom delonge government information, and multiverse movies Its for sure being told to us all that this is a lot closer to the truth than we think. Makes sense why many cultures had sacrifices to the “gods” same way the horses were used in the movie.
I was honestly waiting for an explanation about the shoe. Was it really just a bad miracle? Did it land like that, like a ballerina? I have been obsessing over it so confused like it has some deeper meaning because I thought it was floating but no one has explained other than it was just a distraction for Jupe not to look into Gordy’s eyes.
the way i interpreted it is it was something for him to look at to try and dissociate from the situation. kind of like, "look at all this blood and carnage around me, but why tf is the shoe upright? shoes don't do that".
It was a bad miracle, but Jupe takes it as him being lucky and special for surviving an animal encounter that later causes the death of him his family and many others
This is the second Easter egg video I’ve seen that failed to mention that Jupe had a UFO and beam design on the back of his outfit in the scene where he tried to feed the horse to the alien.
Anyone notice the oprah shot kind of looks like a butterfly, a reference to the Nimbal uap vids and the reaction that it was a fly on the screen? Or that the director was taking a bunch of meds leading to his death, maybe implying cancer and that could be why he went for the perfect shot? Or that the tmz riders helmet looked exactly like the orb that freaks the horse out?
Every time I look up at the clouds I think about this movie. ☁️🛸 Loved this flick! The angel thing is very interesting... And the guys name was Angel. Cool interp!
@@RickMedina04 that does make some sense. Splitting it into chapters was my thought. I also noticed that the horse named lucky was the only one to survive the alien attacks, just another cool detail.
One other little California reference I caught was that when Em and OJ were out on the porch talking over some sodas, the sodas they had were Cactus Cooler. Cactus Cooler is a blessing upon this planet and can pretty much only be found in SoCal.
The Star Trek rock is also where Bill & Ted were thrown off by their android counterparts in Bogus Journey, which was also referenced in the movie moments before as they were watching that episode on TV in their apartment
Otis Sr. recites composers with O.J. in order to remain conscious and lucid on the way to emergency room. The "parachute mode" of the carnivore flying saucer was based on cosmologists' theories about gaseous jellyfish inhabiting planets like Jupiter (Jupe 🤠). Angel Torres the Fry's Electronics employee volunteers to keep surveillance. 😇 Angels in the Old Testament were also known to be watchers. And otherworldly.
When Angel is at his place of work and his manager walks across the screen it’s very reminiscent of when the alien first walks across the screen in Signs
The soccer jersey that Keke Palmer is wearing throughout the movie belongs to a local Santa Clarita High School located in canyon country called canyon High School with the cowboys being their mascot. Canyon country the city is right down the road from Agua dulce
I'm very much of the opinion that Jean Jacket is a terrestrial creature. It behaves too much like an Earth predator, and the fact that it can even recognize what eye contact is is curious on it own. Even its anatomy isn't that far off from some deep sea marine animals. I also don't see it surviving long in space, it seems oddly delicate, which makes sense as it has to be light as it doesn't seem like it can land, and its hunting style doesn't give it prey an opportunity to fight back. The electrical field they generate is extreme but also not something without precedence in Earth animals. Humans don't encounter them often because, ever since the invention of the spear, humans are pretty much the only thing that could threaten them and they are very good at remaining undetected. If I were to flesh out the world a bit I would suggest that the events in the film indicate a turn in the species behavior toward humans caused by the fact that their electrical field, which I assume is used to aid in flight and maybe prey detection, has a knock on effect of disabling the modern technology we now rely on turning what once was not worth the effort into easy picking. In general, if these things had been discovered to exist in reality I would have no reason to assume that they originate from anywhere but Earth. The characters in the film just jump to the conclusion that they are extra terrestrial in the same way people in the past could have jumped to the conclusion that they were divine messengers.
If it is a earth creature that would explain why earth's "natural" weather patterns. The creature affected the weather and the people in the town had no idea, they just thought it was raining
One thing I noticed that no one seems to have mentioned is that Steven yeun (jupe) does a Bo burnham reference when he’s talking about the other actors when they’re in his office. The way he moves his hands and the way he drags the words is almost exactly like the bo burnham skit where he’s making fun of podcasters
A horse whinny is evoked immediately in Michael Abel’s orchestral score, in its very first two melodic notes. This motif is a descending 6th, B-flat to D-flat; then repeats one step down, A-flat to B-natural. The whinny motif repeats often in several movements in the score.
Fun Fact: Fry’s is actually a Kroger grocery chain. In California it was only an electronic store, but here in Arizona it’s a grocery store and pharmacy in competition with Walmart
Anybody else notice Jupe's cowboy uniform shows the creature in its flower/jellyfish form? Which means he must have seen its full glory before OJ and Emrald.
i saw one in your clip that you did not mention. If you look at Jordan Peele's pink blazer in the opening, he has the same wavy flags embroidered on it. The flags play a big part in the movie. you can't tell me that was on accident.
I loved it looks like a camera chasing OJ like the Jockey of his ancestor also OJ is on a Bronco when he's being chased and JJ looks like a camera before becoming its angelic form
This movie was so entertaining from beginning to end it built and transformed into something different much like the uap itself. I also really love how much they get us to love these characters and root for them.
This movie gave me SIGNS all over the place! Alien anticipation, human observation of alien "rules" that all turned out to be spot on, the siblings, taking out the one alien that could be the beginning of the invasion. I was warned that the movie wasn't great, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just as much as SIGNS! I really wish there was an epilogue, though. We usually get that when the world gets saved from aliens.
The pig on the roof survived at Jupe's Amusement park because it's physically impossible for pigs to look directly up.
Ayeee me and my boyfriend were wondering if the little piggy survived. Thanks for the confirmation. Couldn’t sleep lol
Thats so detailed 😭 wow
Whaaat, lol I thought it was just an animatronic for the park
That'll do..... That'll do
Wow what an awesome addition to detail thank you! I was wondering why the pig was alive.
I love the concept that the UAP wasn’t a ship but the actual alien itself.
Yeah I liked that part too but that's about all I liked about this movie
At first I didn’t like it but thinking about it, that idea is growing on me
@@teqkilla I think it's always gonna be one of those movies that I enjoy thinking about more than actually watching.

Exactly it’s not about taming it it’s about letting it be you know keep the monkey in the jungle and keep the humans where the buildings are
Never thought of the idea that the UFO is the ALIEN
aliens do exist. they are called deep sea creatures
@@enjaeantonio7731 They straight up say it in the movie tho
@@skepticalmucssel ohhhhh okay that makes sense. I couldn’t understand the purpose of the monkey.

I seen that
Or treating horses as purely modes of transport - like putting a key in car ignition
Another reference is that the alien in its true form looked almost like an Angel from Neon Genesis. Especially with the way its "eye" would move.
I'd really like to know how they decided on the track that plays during Act 3 during the climax. It's so meditative and haunting.
This is dead ass exactly what I thought.
THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING
I thought it looked like a squid or a jelly fish
That thing was the eye!?? I thought it was the mouth!
I think the “Ship” being the alien and not a ship was the best way to do that, if they had “Aliens” it would of came off as goofy almost
So you think the ship or alien whatever doing dance moves in the sky wasn’t goofy?

I feel the same way. That scene was hellish. Of course, the Gordy's Home scene was horrific in its own right. The veiled lady's disfigured face sent chills down my spine
Just fast forward that part if you're not viewing it in cinemas
Watched a second time on my TV and it definitely hits different not being in a movie theatre. Bu that I mean its much more tolerable.
For your last point, the UAP was very similar to the Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion, especially when it transforms at the end
The use of uap lately is funny
Seraphim
Yes… I thought I was the only one who thought it was an angel. Especially with all of the biblical quotes
And Emeralds Akira Bike slide
Spooky shit
I also noticed that the kid sheriff poster looked a lot like the poster and font for the disney movie holes!
I'm wondering if the UAP is an just an Animal Alien. That's why it is beautiful and Animalistic. It's just lost and has found a place with food available and is hiding and coming out to eat.
Best part is with this movie coming out, the whole tom delonge government information, and multiverse movies
Its for sure being told to us all that this is a lot closer to the truth than we think.
Makes sense why many cultures had sacrifices to the “gods” same way the horses were used in the movie.
That last part u said is trippy af . We’ll never know the truth unless we can go back in time and witness these things ourselves
Damn, talk about food for thought! That is an amazing perspective....
I was honestly waiting for an explanation about the shoe. Was it really just a bad miracle? Did it land like that, like a ballerina? I have been obsessing over it so confused like it has some deeper meaning because I thought it was floating but no one has explained other than it was just a distraction for Jupe not to look into Gordy’s eyes.
Think the whole brooms standing up during the pandemic.... connection to magnetic field...it was drawing it up...
the way i interpreted it is it was something for him to look at to try and dissociate from the situation. kind of like, "look at all this blood and carnage around me, but why tf is the shoe upright? shoes don't do that".
It was a bad miracle, but Jupe takes it as him being lucky and special for surviving an animal encounter that later causes the death of him his family and many others
It was a bad miracle, he was literally waiting for the shoe to drop
I sorta saw it as just another spectacle to look at since Gordy was out of view when Ricky was focused on it
This is the second Easter egg video I’ve seen that failed to mention that Jupe had a UFO and beam design on the back of his outfit in the scene where he tried to feed the horse to the alien.
I noticed that too and I thought that it was such a good detail
Even the flowers kinda looked like it’s true form
Anyone notice the oprah shot kind of looks like a butterfly, a reference to the Nimbal uap vids and the reaction that it was a fly on the screen? Or that the director was taking a bunch of meds leading to his death, maybe implying cancer and that could be why he went for the perfect shot? Or that the tmz riders helmet looked exactly like the orb that freaks the horse out?
Which UAP video?
"Watch it twice with a notebook..."
My mind: "Watch it twice with a NOPEbook..."
Jordan Peele is a National Treasure, a genius and poet.
When Gordy is about to give Jupe a fist bump, my skin was crawling.
Especially with the blood dripping off Gordy’s paw.
Theres so much details and layers and interpretations of NOPE you can make.
Every time I look up at the clouds I think about this movie. ☁️🛸 Loved this flick! The angel thing is very interesting... And the guys name was Angel. Cool interp!
Watch out for the cloud that never moves!
There is definitely more to unpack in this movie, something I didn’t get was the names of the horses that would pop up
It was a big clue to what the "UFO" actually was.
The title cards are kind of like a respectful tie to the movie being about animals.
If my memory serves me, it was Ghost, Clover, Gordie, Lucky, Jean Jacket
I think it had something to do with the character development we were going to see in that chapter. According to each horses temperament
@@RickMedina04 that does make some sense. Splitting it into chapters was my thought. I also noticed that the horse named lucky was the only one to survive the alien attacks, just another cool detail.
I just thought thats the time when that certain horse would come face to face with Jean Jacket
I don’t know how it relates but having a character named OJ and a white bronco can’t be a coincidence
One other little California reference I caught was that when Em and OJ were out on the porch talking over some sodas, the sodas they had were Cactus Cooler. Cactus Cooler is a blessing upon this planet and can pretty much only be found in SoCal.
Honestly loved it so much. Hey Jess!
You are onto something!!!! I love your recap and the last nugget about 6!!!!
Love you! Thanks for the vid!
I appreciate that you mentioned that Nope feels like an homage to Jurassic Park and King Kong. It really does.
The Star Trek rock is also where Bill & Ted were thrown off by their android counterparts in Bogus Journey, which was also referenced in the movie moments before as they were watching that episode on TV in their apartment
Otis Sr. recites composers with O.J. in order to remain conscious and lucid on the way to emergency room.
The "parachute mode" of the carnivore flying saucer was based on cosmologists' theories about gaseous jellyfish inhabiting planets like Jupiter (Jupe 🤠).
Angel Torres the Fry's Electronics employee
volunteers to keep surveillance. 😇 Angels in the Old Testament were also known to be watchers. And otherworldly.
I wish they would have given me a movie guide when I bought my ticket to see NOPE so I could understand the movie.
When Angel is at his place of work and his manager walks across the screen it’s very reminiscent of when the alien first walks across the screen in Signs
I used to go to that Fry’s all the time. It was quite the attraction…along side my electronics lol
This movie was amazing to me. Solid 9.5/10
Agreed!!
How could it have gotten any more perfect though?!
@Willham that would literally ruin the movie
The soccer jersey that Keke Palmer is wearing throughout the movie belongs to a local Santa Clarita High School located in canyon country called canyon High School with the cowboys being their mascot. Canyon country the city is right down the road from Agua dulce
_First movie I went alone to in a long time & it was so good I wasn’t even mad about it lol_
Why would you be mad?
@@LeftHandedRightHanded _because none of my friends could go that night & I had to just go alone cuz I didnt want to wait lol_ 🛸
Same
SAME lol
@@sadboygreggy me too!
I'm very much of the opinion that Jean Jacket is a terrestrial creature. It behaves too much like an Earth predator, and the fact that it can even recognize what eye contact is is curious on it own. Even its anatomy isn't that far off from some deep sea marine animals. I also don't see it surviving long in space, it seems oddly delicate, which makes sense as it has to be light as it doesn't seem like it can land, and its hunting style doesn't give it prey an opportunity to fight back. The electrical field they generate is extreme but also not something without precedence in Earth animals. Humans don't encounter them often because, ever since the invention of the spear, humans are pretty much the only thing that could threaten them and they are very good at remaining undetected. If I were to flesh out the world a bit I would suggest that the events in the film indicate a turn in the species behavior toward humans caused by the fact that their electrical field, which I assume is used to aid in flight and maybe prey detection, has a knock on effect of disabling the modern technology we now rely on turning what once was not worth the effort into easy picking.
In general, if these things had been discovered to exist in reality I would have no reason to assume that they originate from anywhere but Earth. The characters in the film just jump to the conclusion that they are extra terrestrial in the same way people in the past could have jumped to the conclusion that they were divine messengers.
If it is a earth creature that would explain why earth's "natural" weather patterns. The creature affected the weather and the people in the town had no idea, they just thought it was raining
It being territorial could also explain area 51 in real life too
Very well put.
Well said. You gave me a lot to think about lol.
It was swimming through the air like sea creatures swim in water. The body mass was so light it floated.
The movie was a tribute to filmmakers long gone. Great all around! Very creative!
Great video I love Jessica’s Videos so far
Yes, I need more information about this film 🎥 🎞. U did a great job 👏🏾 👍🏾
Jordan Peele is Brilliant!!!! He entertains us by feeding all of our senses... especially, our 6th sense!
One thing I noticed that no one seems to have mentioned is that Steven yeun (jupe) does a Bo burnham reference when he’s talking about the other actors when they’re in his office. The way he moves his hands and the way he drags the words is almost exactly like the bo burnham skit where he’s making fun of podcasters
so glad you're doing these!!!
we had a Fry's Electronics near us in Arlington, TX. i loved it. i miss it.
That genesis idea though with the 6s may also loop back to “bad miracles” and angels too…
The Jesus Lizard have an album called “Down” where the cover has a floating horse. Very similar visually to some Nope posters
This is such a well thought out video! glad I found this.
Well done ms JC! always a pleasure ! xx
A horse whinny is evoked immediately in Michael Abel’s orchestral score, in its very first two melodic notes. This motif is a descending 6th, B-flat to D-flat; then repeats one step down, A-flat to B-natural.
The whinny motif repeats often in several movements in the score.
Fun Fact: Fry’s is actually a Kroger grocery chain. In California it was only an electronic store, but here in Arizona it’s a grocery store and pharmacy in competition with Walmart
Love you Jess thank you for breaking down this incredible movie!
I love the idea of a "Bad Miracle"
In the California things part where you mention Fry's being in the movie, I would've also included OJ and Emerald drinking Cactus Cooler too.
Anybody else notice Jupe's cowboy uniform shows the creature in its flower/jellyfish form? Which means he must have seen its full glory before OJ and Emrald.
I actually just remember it looking like it’s “saucer” form between 2 clouds with its beam/whirlwind pointing to the ground. Lol
@@st33lt03215 I think the flowers embroidered onto the suit look a lot like Jean Jacket. They are sort of framing the traditional ufo pic.
Awesome! Congrats, Jessica!
Had so much fun explaining the Akira reference to my family, I was really surprised to see it
Omg I love your energy, you love the details about scary movies like myself, I appreciate you!!!
i saw one in your clip that you did not mention. If you look at Jordan Peele's pink blazer in the opening, he has the same wavy flags embroidered on it. The flags play a big part in the movie. you can't tell me that was on accident.
I loved it looks like a camera chasing OJ like the Jockey of his ancestor also OJ is on a Bronco when he's being chased and JJ looks like a camera before becoming its angelic form
Loved the Signs shoutout at the end!
Legit thought of "biblically accurate angels" when we got the reveal of the ufo at the end.
Jessica has to do more of these
that was a delicious analysis thank you!!
I love the “signs” comment at the end cause I did the same thing after I got home 🤣
It’s very cool to see Jessica trapped in the blue dungeon
It’s a tiny detail, but the three cameras on the TV set have the same appearance as the alien masks worn by Jupe’s kids.
I saw that too
So glad y’all doing this
This movie was so entertaining from beginning to end it built and transformed into something different much like the uap itself. I also really love how much they get us to love these characters and root for them.
The part from the trailer that looks the least real is the thing he's drawing a connection to in real life, this is why Jordan kicks all the butt.
This movie gave me SIGNS all over the place! Alien anticipation, human observation of alien "rules" that all turned out to be spot on, the siblings, taking out the one alien that could be the beginning of the invasion. I was warned that the movie wasn't great, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just as much as SIGNS! I really wish there was an epilogue, though. We usually get that when the world gets saved from aliens.
"I'll try anything once!! NOM NOM NOM"
*Throws up*
Wow good job Jess!
