The people who did the sound design on this movie should win awards. The sound offered SO MUCH to the film, and truly made the movie terrifying at times.
@@goyangi2014 lol u tryna get the FBI on my case? XD i watched it on my friends laptop coz im only free to watch it at the IMAX this weekend wen im off
I haven’t seen it talked about much, on account of all the other striking moments throughout the film, but the scene where Jean Jacket rains blood down on the house after playing the screams of the recently swallowed people was insane and felt so reminiscent of horror classics. This movie has a plethora of potentially iconic shots, only time will tell.
God, the SOUND in that scene was so horrifying, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing, like watching a nightmare play out on the big screen.
@@RickyChops Okja, Burning, Sorry to Bother. Just because you haven’t seen anything he’s in doesn’t mean you have to embarrass yourself by saying his most popular role is his best.
I found the Gordy storyline to be most fascinating. Like, the guy romanticizes his OWN trauma, which is a level of psyche movies RARELY touch on. Like you could tell that he himself is obsessed with it and probably dreams about it constantly. Probably never really got help for it, because he's good at acting like he's fine.
Something I liked about this movie was how it uses the physical space so well. The camera allows the audience to see the entire valley multiple times, and there is so much movement that spans the entire landscape that by very early on the audience knows where everything is. This plays very well in the later action sequences where movement and location matter a great deal for the building tension. I feel the commentary, while there, is lighter in Nope than in Peele's other movies. More energy was put into making a story that is a lot of fun to watch.
Yeah there’s so much that a lot of us don’t think about when it comes to making movies. I think it was also good to just show how desolate it was. In my opinion the whole thing was very dream like. Which I guess would make sense because the whole thing could be a nightmare honestly. Just to see that huge house sitting there in the middle of nowhere and it just had a surreal look to it. Even the echos from shouting. Very dreamlike
The most terrifying aspect of this film was the scene of what happens to a group of people and the detail put into it was so gutwrenching and made me feel a way i haven't felt in a horror Sci fi ever.
DUDE, I GOT HIGH before watching this movie, that scene.... i almost cried and threw up, im dead serious, i think it gave me a severe fear towards tight spaces, especially crowded ones

Feel there is a connection between the use of animals and exploitation. We saw what that exploitation caused for the members of that show with the chimp. The kid - now older tried to do exactly the same with the “alien” species and we know what happened to him in the end. When you watch the film again (you know you will) - look for when those past incident clips are introduced and what is happening in current time. This is where Peele always makes his mark.
@@jasonbowman3090 movies been out for a week. Don’t go to the comments of a review video about the movie and not expect some type of spoilers. Watch the movie
@@michaelcarrasquillo4781 I agree completely and are always annoyed with people complaining about spoilers. I can see it the weekend it is out but after that do not read comments to reviews and complain. Just go see the movie and come back.
@j - k I think they cared for their horses (at least OJ for sure). At one point a character suggests offering the horses so they can get away and OJ refuses.
Remember having a big crush on Keke Palmer when she was on Nickelodeon. Now I’m seeing her lead in big Hollywood blockbusters. I’m so happy seeing her get shine on the big screen and long may it continue.
@@mrethano09 Good lord that was a cringey response. The amount of insecurity you just showed is wild. Idk if something just happened in your life or something but you need a break dude. Or some therapy.
The night time shots were apparently filmed during the day and so I'm guessing the ability to control how the night looked was much easier, hence why they look phenomenal. Truly an amazing film!
I think this is the first alien invasion film that’s taken place in a single location and didn’t involve massive world disruption and I really loved that. Also the design of the creature was so incredibly clever and unique. 5/5
@Drink Your Whatever did you notice the dining room table scene was framed exactly like the one in signs when they are about to face their opponent, fucking awesome
So crazy that Chris actually has worked on a feature with one of the incredible cast-members of this film (Keith David). I'm so happy for him, and so inspired as well.
Gordy’s scene & the scene where Jean Jacket takes the people caused such visceral reactions in me. Gordy’s scene especially felt as though we were living it with Jupe. The dread & horror you feel left you with goosebumps
Aw stop this movie was crappy I'm a Jordan Peele fan and a fan of all of the actors involved but the storyline was confusing and all over the place how do u get goosebumps it looks like a b movie from the 60s
@@anthonytaylor7928 you rlly had to be high or have a historically low IQ to be confused by this movie. Look I don’t like to stoop down to direct insults but I went into the movie knowing ppl were confused and kept overthinking it looking for the confusing parts, at night, after a full day of adult work… If you think it was crap and confusing it just sounds like ur the kind of person who needs to be spoonfed Marvel movies 🤷♀️
"I've never in my life seen night time sequences this gorgeous" that's SO GOOD to hear, considering most movies today are unable to present you a night time scene without leaning into complete darkness
I remember reading about a new film type, technology, or technique used to be able to really get a good look for dark(er) skinned people in a movie. I wonder if this isn't either the same thing or an offshoot
@@lickenhuntsman5338 I feel like that's because it's an all black cast and people who are racist don't like that so they hide behind being "knowledgeable film heads". They aren't just gonna admit they're racist, so... And I don't even remember the CGI being that bad anyway. It isn't disillusioning at all
Daniel Kaluuya is one of the best actors around right now, and his performance in Judas and The Black Messiah was amazing, can’t wait to see him in this
The Akira reference was so well done honestly, wasn't just a throwaway scene or reference but it actually added to the to coolness and heart pounding intensity of the scene
Man was this a masterpiece visually. Had many scenes where for the first time in a while I was LEGITIMATELY creeped the fuck out. That one specific scene after the Jupiter’s Claim show… DAMN I haven’t felt that freaked out and uneasy from a scene in a while. Such an absolute thrill ride.
I hate the idea of being trapped like that. Claustrophobia is such a dreading situation to be in. And it’s so sad to think how even kids were swept into that. I couldn’t look at the distress those people were in and hearing their cries when the creature went back to the ranch.
That scene is my new scariest scene of all time. The screams and the panic...I can't even imagine being apart of that. It freaks me the fuck out so bad.
I loved how at the end after the alien "pops" you see its body float away as a sheet nearly as light as air, sort of explaining how such a large creature is able to fly. It also clearly has some form of aerokinesis ability, since it can generate clouds and tornadoes.

@@thekillercub274 and then also all actors and actresses and Jordan Peele are on a plane in real life and it crashes and then no more of them anymore lmfao🤣🤣🤣
I love how Kaluuya's character has that so-done-with-everything personality while Palmer's character is like an 11 year-old and always smiling. Perfect contrast
Peele was asked in an interview what he would take from this movie and apply to Get Out and US and his response was the camera tech. He said they way the shot the scenes at night couldn't have been done five years ago.
Paul Thomas Anderson used the exact same cinematography technique for the night scenes in "Licorice Pizza", just FYI. That's why the night sequences in that film look so gorgeous.
I have mixed feelings… I left the theatre confused with what I experienced: there were moments were I was engaged and even scared but there were also slow moments that brought me back to the room to check the time. The siblings were so different and extreme that they felt more like archetypes... My favourite characters were actually the shop technician and the film director. Unlike Peele’s previous films there wasn’t a clear theme but several ideas which I found hard to connect. (Spoilers) My favourite thing was actually that the ship was the alien and I loved how it resembled a stingray. When it unfolded it looked like a camera taking pictures so not as fun… I’m getting tired of films about the film industry but when you explained the homage to the crew I appreciated more. Thanks for such a insightful review. The best on RUclips!
The overall theme is mainly you can’t mess with wild animals and you can’t tame them at the end of the day, don’t make eye contact and you’ll be OK. That’s what happened, he made eye contact with the spaceship when he was thinking that he would survive because he was special and had a special bond. No he didn’t. He just didn’t make eye contact because he was staring at the shoe and I think the tablecloth was in the way of his eyes. Horse man already knew that because he was good working with animals and he loved them.
3 for 3 for me too. This was so much fun and you can absolutely take something out of it. What I took was different than what Chris did. (Kinda spoilerish) I saw it as not just taking tragedy and capitalizing but also…the possibility of taking a predator and trying to make money off of it and killing it when you realize it is not here for our laughs.
Yes and not respecting it and treating it like a spectacle. Just like a wild animal. You bow your head and avert your eyes away from it. It will leave you alone.
the arrogance of man is thinking he is in control of nature and not the other way around. Even if he momentarily tames it eventually the bargain will be too one sided and it will fail.
that fear you described reminded me of a sense of DREAD I'd often get as a child on the playground when I was on a swingset. If I stared up at the sky while swinging, I'd get this horrible heart-sinking fear for some reason, like I was gonna take off and somehow "fall up" into the sky. sounds like this movie does some cool stuff with that. excited to see it!
I used to get that feeling when as kids, we would lie in the grass and stare up at the sky. At some point, it was like the ground was the ceiling and the sky was the floor, and I'd get this feeling that at some point I was gonna drop from earth and fall into the clouds. When I stood up, it would take me a few moments to reorient myself to what was up and what was down.
I think it has something to do with how at the peak of a swing, there's a moment of weightlessness, and if all you see is the sky and no horizon, then our brains get a little confused for just a split second, which can be pretty panic inducing. that's just my theory tho
As a pure cinematographic experience, to be able to see a film with an unique feel, but seemingly disjointed, be assembled in front of our eyes was truly awesome. I hope we get more films and filmmakers like this.
Nope is 9/10 for me.. I would say it would be the perfect sci-fi horror if the end was trimmed a bit and added more dialogue. Full disclosure - I am slightly biased because I love anything with a 1950s style flying saucer but the subversive layers is what did it for me. Also the horror scenes, on paper they don’t sound that scary but damn the way it was filmed with insane audio was disturbing. What I haven’t seen mentioned too much is the idea that “if you look at it it will get you” - not only does this apply to animals sensing fear but also how we engage with news and social media. Another big epiphany for me in this movie and the horror genre is the Bible verse about spectacle and how we clamor to see disturbing or horrifying things for clout, yet we are paying to see a horror movie - truly meta.
Chris, although your regular reviews are sorely missed, I appreciate them immensely when we get them. I love that you have been committed to your directorial work, and I’m glad that you’ve given yourself the time to pursue your goals, always inspiring.
Rarely does my jaw hang open during a film, and yet I caught myself gobsmacked at least 3 or 4 times during Nope. No idea what parts specifically or why, and yet this movie kept pushing me all over the place. I think it is wonderful. A fantastic standalone... nonfranchise piece of work. Jordan Peele will be recognized as part of a new cinema renaissance.
@Michael Torres I didn't go into expecting to be scared. The trailers weren't scary in the least bit. This was absolutely Peele's Close Encounters with a splash of Jaws. I thought the performances were fantastic and I was happy it wasn't just the typical alien invasion flick we've seen hundreds of times before.
@@VerifiedB I feel ya there, definitely don't want to ruin it for others. I'm not saying it's a perfect movie, it just worked for me in a way a lot of other flicks this year haven't.
I knew the movie was gonna be good from the very first scene, which absolutely scared the fuck out of me. Peele is an absolute master at making things that would wake you up from a nightmare in a cold sweat appear on the screen in front of you. His use of color, sound, and visuals create the most awe inspiring and disturbing sequences I've ever seen in a theater. I was legitimately shaking for most of the 3rd act because I just had no clue what to expect and probably because it was also tapping into some childhood phobias I had forgotten about. Absolutely masterful

Kaluuya is one of the best actors of his generation and deserves to be recognized as such. Peele is also brilliant, and great at working with talented actors who deserve to be more famous than they are. Can't wait to see what they both do next.
I really enjoyed how the screams early on set-up the creature without simply being a sound-effect. Just one of the really unique ways of foreshadowing the film uses Edit: Also, loved Steven Yuen as Jude in this. He had a really interesting subplot regarding his difficult feelings about the past, which played well into the themes of animals being used in films.
The nighttime shots you showed that you like, is how my farm looks at night under a full or almost full moon. You can see so much when you are far from the city and moonlit and open spaces. That might be part of how they achieved that imagery.
You did an amazing job of breakdown without giving away any spoilers! Now that I’ve seen the movie I’d love to hear your thoughts on a full breakdown and some more Easter eggs
Saw it last night. At the start, I thought the air around the characters had a weird shimmer and distortion to it. I leaned over to point it out because I found the monster, and half my row did too! We thought we were seeing something like the predator with the invisible cloak I felt like the Sherlock of cinematography. The we realized in the middle of the movie it was the clouds that hid the monster.. it turns out the movie projector screen was just so damn dirty that it actually altered the movie experience for us.
The fear you described I’ve had my whole life. I remember looking it up when I was younger and the closest thing I could find was “batophobia”, the fear of being near tall buildings or mountains, as this is now my sense of gravity giving out was tapped for me. Also if you were to lay on the grass under a night sky and then tilt your head back, the sky would look like it’s below the ground, and that would tap that fear for me. Excited for this movie, maybe we can finally find a name for this fear!
Yes! I've had the same feeling since I was a child. I've never known how to describe it. Batophobia is also the closest phobia that fits the feeling I have. Really tall buildings, like skyscrapers, leave me locked into place if I remain looking up at it. Also large structures or vehicles like statues, hot air balloons, or trees. I'm fine when maintaining normal eye level. But the second I look up at a huge structure, I'm frozen still and my entire sense of gravity is just gone. Wild shit
Was finally just able to see the movie yesterday and I loved it. It was hilarious, unsettling, horrifying, and full of great characters. That chimp scene really disturbed me, especially because I remember when that one lady was mauled by her friend’s chimp ten or so years ago? And seeing the people get stuck up into the creatures digestive tract was also horrible. I would 100% call this a cosmic horror film, one of my favorite genres. The creature reveal at the end was both terrifying and beautiful.
I'm so hyped for this movie. I don't think Jordan Peele's films are perfect, but they are very good. What I love is that his movies are incredibly unique and creative while still being very accessible to people that watch mainstream and art house films. He takes numerous big swings in every film and sometimes only a portion connect but I'll support a filmmaker and studio that are willing to take those chances.
Absolutely, he's able to inject some fresh & inspired blood into mainstream movies for those who only pay attention to the more commercially popular films. Possibly some of them, or younger viewers, might dig deeper into Cinema after seeing a uniquely authentic vision played out successfully.
@@CRWeaventure i was curious about that as well. There didnt seem to be much of a direct connection between the "sitcom tragedy" and the "sky entity", at least textually. Possibly on a second viewing the subtext of the two events becomes more pronounced. But the shoe . . . some obvious literal meaning has to be there. I really do appreciate that JP's main focus was on delivering the effect and atmospheric sense of what that event would feel like and not as much in connecting narrative structure with definitive answers, at least leaving it ambiguous & keeping some mystique in tact. I also kind of thought that he set up enough details which were never fully addressed that a possible sequel may be in store, but I also am not sure that he's interested in creating a series. But who knows. Either way, one of the most unique and visually spectacular portrayals of this phenomenon!
Exactly! Dude, I absolutely LOVE original ideas in movies. As much as I love the superhero genre, it's incredibly unoriginal. As well as remakes or movies based on classic shows or a video game, book, etc.... I love directors who actually make movies off original ideas, good or bad, I 100% support it. We need more new idea and risks being taken. That's the magic of movies!
@@CRWeaventure it was the only thing Ricky was focus on. Usually when someone is going through trauma they would focus on the oddest thing around them. Also just a reference of what happens later in the film.
Two things: It’s got Night of the Hunter Cinematography vibes. Also if this film doesn’t win an Oscar for Best Sound Mixing & Sound Editing, it will be a damn shame, cause like wow. 😱
Honestly- I'm not the biggest fan of JP first two films....but.... he knocked it out of the park with NOPE. The photography at night scenes transformed me. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat. And beautifully shot. Although there Are many scenes at night, there is perfect clarity and your eyes are constantly searching for whatever might be hiding behind those clouds. I can't stop thinking about those scenes. Please. See this movie. It's original, Strange, wonderful & full of surprises. Support films like this.
I think this might be my favorite movie from Jordan so far. And I think the rest are great. I’ve just never found myself so immersed in a sci-fi film before, especially one that had so much originality to it. And the score was amazing.
Dumpster fire. Realistically it isn’t a bad movie. Just ok. He’s reviewed numerous movies he wasn’t fond of including Thor Love and Thunder. He’s said he won’t shit on a movie but he will at least talk about the things he enjoys/doesn’t like in them.
Really getting some “M. Night in the good ol days” vibes from Peele. Really hope he just keeps doing his thing. Love it all and can’t wait to see this one. Thanks for the hype
@@BishopWalters12 wouldn’t say that he’s less talented but he’s still working on his craft. So Night made his magnum opus with the Happening (sixth sense) and slowly lost it Peele is feeling more careful and not stressing out movies. Night is still one of my favorites tho
Give it 10 or so years, until people become tired of “oh look it’s another Jordan Peele thriller, how original.” People were in love with M. Night back in the day, now we know what he brings to the table so we’re not impressed anymore
I loved M. Night movies, but his writing just varied so wildly, and some of his directorial choices just… didn’t land, for me. I was excited to see Old this past year, but that script was terrible. 😮💨
@@tybrown7112 I feel you! Started out with a bang then just lost it. Still haven’t watched old but really want to but also really don’t … but then again, signs is one of my favorite films and I don’t know many people who like that one so I might love it 🤷🏼♂️
I was genuinely impressed with Peele's ability to break tension with a joke/bit only to immediately bring it back like a snap of the fingers. Truly masterful.
5:55 Thank you SO much for that perspective. I’ve been racking my brain since last night trying to make sense of how that tragedy on the 90s TV set fit in to the main story, and now it makes sense.
Oooh man there's a lot more references as well to that 90s scene to the rest of the film. Can't say too much without going into spoilers. But on 2nd viewing I got a lot more from it. Also side note: There's also references to the "useless things" that the 👽 throws away in reference to Otis Haywood Sr. As in how something can be taken out or discarded when thought to be no longer useful. Think about it.
YES! I have the same phobia. It also extends to kites. I've never been able to properly explain it, but seeing balloons or kites or really anything that extend far into the sky gives me extreme vertigo and anxiety.
Same kites is the only way I’ve ever been able to explain it. Whether it’s being taken by the kite or a fear the kite will land on something it’s not supposed to idk
Maybe it’s a fear of the sky? It’s so vast and open, sometimes it instills a sense of smallness and vulnerability in people that can mess with their heads. I think it’s related to prairie madness, when settlers would get anxious from the flat open spaces of the us as they moved it west.
Thank you for this loving review. I just came from seeing it. It's truly a piece of art. My son and I spent almost 2 hours in the parking lot of the theater discussing it. Beautiful.
Another winner for Peele! While Get Out remains my favorite, Nope is probably my second favorite. There is a LOT to love about this movie and it was super thrilling and horrifying. The claustrophobia scene made me have a mild panic attack.
Just saw it, 90% of the movie was a 8-9/10 type of movie but the final 30 minutes are mind-numbingly stupid IMO. Hope you enjoy it, I left very disappointed and stunned.
It's funny how this movie brings up childhood memories. When we left the theater I could stop telling my kids how dark it is in the country. No street lights, no freeway lights, no lights from cars, just the moonlight and vast space. Also rain hitting a tin roof, which there are many in the country, is scary as hell. All the messages in the movie were great, but after watching some reviews, people who complain about being spoon fed messages seem to need to be spoon fed messages because they didn't get it.🤣🤣🤣It's a must see. Great review as always, Chris.
Ufos and Aliens have been a huge fear of mine since childhood and that scene where you see the alien walking towards daniel in the trailer hit a little too close to home. I’ve had dreams of aliens being outside my house since I was around 5
Nope definitely wasn’t perfect but it was pretty great regardless. My takeaway for the chimp scene was how people often ignore the inherent danger of a situation to rather focus on the spectacle of it. The people would rather sit and watch a chimp perform, ignoring how it’s a dangerous wild animal, just like they’d look up at the UFO rather than get up and run. And then afterwards fans and paparazzi focus on the tragedy’s spectacle and ignore its devastation
5:20 it's like how even people who call themselves movie reviewers, think the Director does everything from writing the script to financing, editing cinematography. It's a bit of a shame that we presume the Director is the one who does all these jobs, rather than the people who actually did it.
Its his own crew ( team ) without the director being there, the team wont have a vision. Everyone has a role in the film industry and everytime a writer/ director creates a film, they usually use the same team.
@@ricksanchez3189 this isn't true, a director may say can I have this person, but it's the producers who organise everything, a director may request but it's the producers who give the okay. Now a director could also be a producer, just like they can be the script writer as well. In terms of is it the directors vision, well without a script then their is no vision to be had, but this is silly as it's a collaborative effort no one is the most important factor, it's a team. Without a cameraman you have no image. Without editor you have a sequential mess. Etc.
@@OrangeHand there is "we know the director had some involvement in the script in this scene for example they did this" and saying the director wrote a terrible script for the entire movie.
I feel like the main character being quiet is pretty cool! He was quiet even before the trauma that we know about in the show. Reminds me just like some customers I have had at work! In fact, I feel like those customers are usually from rural areas or farms. So maybe they really are nailing that demographic there. A real horse man. Compared to his sister who seemed like she didn’t live around there. I really thought they were going to get rid of her maybe in the second half since she was such a source of optimism and liveliness. I feel like that would’ve been a good idea to cut her off at a certain point so that we felt more desperate and we are left with the character who barely talks. But nope.
Saw this last night and I was fully engaged the whole time. I left the theater a bit sore physically, it was that suspenseful. I'm so glad i saw it on a huge screen, in XD, it was beautifully filmed.
I quit enjoy horror and sci-fi films that give you room to interprit their overall meaning and that breed discussion, whether you enjoyed the film or maybe did not like it as much. That discussion of WHAT the film might have been about, or what it was trying to say, is always enjoyable. I think any film that can generate discussion at the end is always worth a watch. I also like films that can weave humor into dark situations. In real life humor is seldom absent even in the darkest of times. Humans use humor to cope with bad stuff. When there isn't humor in horror it doesn't feel natural to me. It doesn't have to be slapstick, but it has to be there at least a little.
It's so crazy that you mention that fear of floating away, cause I've got the exact same thing. Not sure where it came from, probably the strong winds around where I grew up. But images of randomly getting sucked into the sky appear pretty often for me. So it'll be super interesting seeing how this movie gives that some catharsis
Great Summer Flick. Special effects not overdone. This was focussed on the actors. The actors were superb. The whole aspect of animal training and knowing the animal was very slowly revealed. So many movies hit you over the head with special effects and obvious plot lines. The story grew slowly in your mind and you didnt notice the pressure building in your chest until the climax. Well done.
The TV sequence has honestly crystallized since I left the theater yesterday. Now I completely see how it’s representative of a core theme in the film.
It's awesome that you caught the Akira reference at that riveting scene toward the end. That was the first thing that came to mind during that sequence as well. Chris you are a true cinephile my friend.
This movie was fantastic. It was so unique from Peeles other films. Scared the absolute shit out of me. I almost had a heart attack. Loved it. Great point about Daniel Kaluuya. He was wonderful. His silent and stoic approach was incredibly emotional.
I can’t wait to see NOPE! Jordan Peele is one of my personal favorite directors and I love that his movies are original with mind bending plot twists! I feel like this is just the beginning of what Peele can really do!
Dude made 1 mediocre invasion of the body snatchers rip off and flopped on everything else. He completely ruined the twilight zone also. Chris cukman and other coward critics aren't going to actually critique peeles movie's.
Jaws in one of my favorite movies and I think Spielberg's best. I'd show it to students if I were a film school teacher. I'm glad to hear it referenced in the movie.
Excellent review. Thank you. I’ve been really surprised at how much of this film has been missed by several prominent critics. There’s so much depth and subtext here to enjoy, his films really remind me of Kubrick in this way. Bravo Peele. More please!
While this film and Get Out are good , Us sucked. You can't pretend Us was good because it wasn't. It was terrible, rushed, the plot made no sense and the ending was laughable. Two good movies and a terrible one.
Amongst all the typical mainstream hollywood fair, an original flick like this deserves your time and money more so than the usual. Hopefully it does well.
An ex of mine took too much acid once, and after had a phobia of the open sky. He hated going out to the country or on rooftops. He said it was the idea of gravity reversing, and being aware that if that happened, you would just fall upward to your death. I never really understood it, but i could empathize with it and stopped parking on the roof of the parking garage while we were together.
@@jamessummers5936 There is a novel that highlights this fear. the protagonist has agoraphobia (cant leave the house) because she has a ptsd reaction to the open sky after she was in a horrible accident and her car went off a cliff. I think Stephanie Soo has a Baking a Mystery episode about it
Just saw this movie (with my son) last night -- and was absolutely blown away. We both were. Walking out of the theater, all I could say was "wow" and "amazing." This morning, my brain is still processing it and trying to work out the details. I did notice that "making a deal with the predator" was woven in -- first, in the story of the chimpanzee: a truly terrifying animal that we kid ourselves into thinking we've "tamed." I also noticed that at no point was a real chimp used in this film. The scenes from Gordy excluded Gordy himself, and we only saw him through the eyes of Ricky (who, not having been among the victims of the original trauma, was perhaps convinced he had come to an understanding with It by offering it horses. I don't know. Just my thoughts upon first viewing. This is what I love about Peele's films -- never just simple entertainment, always food for thought and conversation.
Just got out of a showing, I definitely think the first and second half were very strong and very intense. As much as I liked Michael Wincott's and the Brandon Parrera performance, Steven Yuen was the standout in my opinion. Dude deserves more.
Well Chris, you spoiled it at 7:33 😂 Couldn’t help myself and CAN’T wait to see. Thank you for this stellar review. The elements of this is so attractive. I absolutely admire Daniel! Him and Keke already seem like such a good duo.
Got this from imdb: "Most of the night sequences, specifically those shot out in the Haywood's field, were actually shot in the day with a complex rig built by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema. These scenes were shot with a normal 5-perf 70mm Panavision film camera and a digital ARRI Alexa 65 camera, modified with the IR filter removed from the sensor to make it sensitive to infrared light, rigged up in a 3D camera rig so they were set to take the same image at once, similar to how van Hoytema shot the lunar chase sequence in Ad Astra (2019). These two images were then composited together to give the night scenes their unique look. In fact, most of these sequences are opened up for IMAX, but were actually shot in normal 5-perf 70mm film in a 2.20:1 aspect ratio and were digitally expanded upon in post. This was done for two reasons: one, there is no digital camera as of yet whose sensor is as big as IMAX film, so the two cameras wouldn't match up perfectly; and two, the skies were already going to be completely digitally replaced for the effects sequences, so that information would've been useless to the filmmakers anyway."
Just finished this movie in theaters and Daniel Kaluuya has this pain in his eyes that you can just feel. How you described he is great with silence is so spot on. So many scenes in this movie show just Daniel’s face and you can feel exactly what he is in that moment without him saying a word. In the first horse scene where he’s being directed by the commercial staff you can feel the dread that comes from working in an environment that you hate for one reason or another. Daniel captures that perfectly and deserves his roses. -Edit great review on the movie 👏🏽👏🏽
It was real good the second act especially and parts of the first and third acts also were great. Loved the chimp scene. That was pure horror and you don't even really see much, you just hear and see blood on the chimp and connect the dots yourself. The mystery behind the thing in the sky also built a lot of suspense and was actually shocked at some of what I saw which is a good thing. I just find this type of stuff interesting anyway. Although I loved the chimp scene it didn't really add anything to the film narratively I felt like. Gives backstory to one of the more minor characters I guess and set the tone for the film
Easily my best film of the year next to the black phone. The cast was amazing and so many hidden messages throughout the film. Visual effects and just everything was near perfect.
@@InQuickWeTrust black phone disappointed too, but what I learned is to not have your expectations to high. I did expect a lil more from NOPE! But honestly it was fun as hell,,, the chimp scene disturbed tf out of me and I just wish they included more of the “monster” / kills
@@BigQ17 Currently watching everything everywhere all at once and its ok so yeah still like NOPE better so far. Everything everywhere all at once is pretty cheesy and the martial art fight scenes look fake tbh.
Your story about the blimp is relatable to me. One time at night only a couple years ago. A plane was flying but very low, I thought it was a ufo and took off 😂😂😂😂
When you said it's about the crew, and their lingo. I'm a chef and in culinary, especially back of house, we have a language that only other culinaries would know. The other day I was playing a video game and things were intense. Someone gave me an order and I responded "heard!" Once the fight was over they asked me about it and I'm like, that's what we say to our chefs when we've heard them to let them know they don't gotta know we heard them, not needing to say something another time and cut their focus. My dogs know "heard" as it's their Heel command lmao. I also have my favorite "with me!" The Jon snow classic, big and loud and the dogs run from everywhere.
Those stunning nighttime scenes are most likely using a cinematographic technique called "day for night": daytime filming through a camera with an adjusted aperture/adjusted exposure, letting in less light into the camera...so those scenes were probably shot during the day. This was the older way to do it but the same effect can probably achieved in postproduction nowadays. The opening scenes of Jaws used day for night.
I went to see Nope today in an IMAX and enjoyed it. I haven't been scared by a movie since Signs, and since I was a kid I have had a paralyzing fear of aliens, so I expected to be terrified, but unfortunately I didn't feel much. There were a few scary scenes, and one very horrifying moment which I won't spoil. Like you said, though, it tapped into that fear. Prometheus did the same, but unfortunately Alien fanboys ruined any potential for a followup.
I wasn't expecting it to be that scary actually. I didn't go in the movie for the scares but for the concept, however there's one or two scenes which the concept is absolutely horrifying.
@@Thisispow Yeah, the one scene immediately following the show at Jupe's park, involving tbe audience, was horrifying. It felt a lot like one scene from War of the Worlds, but much scarier.

I haven’t seen it talked about much, on account of all the other striking moments throughout the film, but the scene where Jean Jacket rains blood down on the house after playing the screams of the recently swallowed people was insane and felt so reminiscent of horror classics. This movie has a plethora of potentially iconic shots, only time will tell.
You can definitely hear some sort of crunch or splat before the silence and the rain. So creepy!!!
That’s was Nope was. A pretty fucking goofy movie with the occasional great shot. But a plethora? Reign it in, fanboy.

Nope had one of the scariest depictions of claustrophobia/helplessness I have ever seen in a film. If you know, you know.
I will quite literally be thinking about that scene for the rest of my life. Terrifying
This movie was bad
@@tranformersaddiction so why was it bad?
God, the SOUND in that scene was so horrifying, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and hearing, like watching a nightmare play out on the big screen.
Hmm, I just saw Nope today. What scene are you talking about?! I feel like I had to have missed something!
Steven Yuen deserves a lot more big Hollywood roles, he’s a godsend
Have you seen Burning (2018)
a "god send" geez LMAO
Why? Lol
His best role was an Old World Style Ragu sauce headless corpse on The Walking Dead.
@@Crocomum not yet I’ll have to check it out if my boy Steven’s in it
@@RickyChops Okja, Burning, Sorry to Bother. Just because you haven’t seen anything he’s in doesn’t mean you have to embarrass yourself by saying his most popular role is his best.
I found the Gordy storyline to be most fascinating. Like, the guy romanticizes his OWN trauma, which is a level of psyche movies RARELY touch on. Like you could tell that he himself is obsessed with it and probably dreams about it constantly. Probably never really got help for it, because he's good at acting like he's fine.
Good point, and it was really interesting how he described the Saturday live sketch of the incident rather than his own experience of it
Gordy is the monkey, Jupe is the guy
While it was good, it felt pointless in the film for me. All it does is show what happened to Jupe on that day and it eels out of place
Except I don’t care about any of the characters at all. 😂 It felt useless and empty for me at least.
@@taluca8474 it literally conveys the main point of the movie lmao
the chimp scene was so full of tension, I legit froze from how terrifying it was
Bruh dat scene was so intense
Seriously, I was so uneasy during that scene.
When Gordy looked at the camera, I immediately looked down lmaooo
@Michael Torres it wasn't much
I couldn't help but just find it bizarre and not really scary. A chimpanzee eating a guy's face while wearing a birthday hat just seemed goofy to me
Something I liked about this movie was how it uses the physical space so well. The camera allows the audience to see the entire valley multiple times, and there is so much movement that spans the entire landscape that by very early on the audience knows where everything is. This plays very well in the later action sequences where movement and location matter a great deal for the building tension.
I feel the commentary, while there, is lighter in Nope than in Peele's other movies. More energy was put into making a story that is a lot of fun to watch.
He uses the camera well when looking up at the clouds…… putting us into it….. By trying to spot the alien….. It was really clever
Yeah there’s so much that a lot of us don’t think about when it comes to making movies. I think it was also good to just show how desolate it was. In my opinion the whole thing was very dream like. Which I guess would make sense because the whole thing could be a nightmare honestly. Just to see that huge house sitting there in the middle of nowhere and it just had a surreal look to it. Even the echos from shouting. Very dreamlike
The most terrifying aspect of this film was the scene of what happens to a group of people and the detail put into it was so gutwrenching and made me feel a way i haven't felt in a horror Sci fi ever.
DUDE, I GOT HIGH before watching this movie, that scene.... i almost cried and threw up, im dead serious, i think it gave me a severe fear towards tight spaces, especially crowded ones
@@spudmatix8770 It would have been better if all actors and actresses in this movie didn't wear any clothes and Jordan Peele shot scenes where each character was having a bowel movement in real life showing the feces they dropped in the toilet bowl...and then at the end of the movie show Jordan Peele doing a triple back flip off a high dive and belly flopping into a pool and him throwing up his lunch from the impact of the water...that would have been a great ending...💯💯💯💯
@@ubertoyourmomshousetonitef4204 wtf
Florida that means you haven't seen much if thats the only thing made you felt that way. Explore more scary/creepy international films.
An indie horror film called Borderlands did it first. But yeah, that was a good sequence.
Feel there is a connection between the use of animals and exploitation. We saw what that exploitation caused for the members of that show with the chimp. The kid - now older tried to do exactly the same with the “alien” species and we know what happened to him in the end. When you watch the film again (you know you will) - look for when those past incident clips are introduced and what is happening in current time. This is where Peele always makes his mark.
Congratulations for spoiling this for us . . No ps5 for you lol
Okay, now the monkey scenes make more sense. I still feel odded out by their inclusion in the film, but I can see the connection.

The night time shots were apparently filmed during the day and so I'm guessing the ability to control how the night looked was much easier, hence why they look phenomenal. Truly an amazing film!
or maybe reverse film process
I think this is the first alien invasion film that’s taken place in a single location and didn’t involve massive world disruption and I really loved that. Also the design of the creature was so incredibly clever and unique. 5/5
It kinda felt like Tremors but that might just be the setting

Gordy’s scene & the scene where Jean Jacket takes the people caused such visceral reactions in me.
Gordy’s scene especially felt as though we were living it with Jupe. The dread & horror you feel left you with goosebumps
Aw stop this movie was crappy I'm a Jordan Peele fan and a fan of all of the actors involved but the storyline was confusing and all over the place how do u get goosebumps it looks like a b movie from the 60s
I felt the same I watch it in theaters and damn the similarities between the Gordy parts and the story of Travis the chimp was really eerie for me
I don’t understand you though it was complete garbage 🗑
I kept thinking about the “star lasso experience” scene all night 😭 all those poor ppl and all the children too.
@@anthonytaylor7928 you rlly had to be high or have a historically low IQ to be confused by this movie.

"I've never in my life seen night time sequences this gorgeous" that's SO GOOD to hear, considering most movies today are unable to present you a night time scene without leaning into complete darkness

@@Brendenlmack my thoughts exactly
Man was this a masterpiece visually. Had many scenes where for the first time in a while I was LEGITIMATELY creeped the fuck out. That one specific scene after the Jupiter’s Claim show… DAMN I haven’t felt that freaked out and uneasy from a scene in a while. Such an absolute thrill ride.
Don't respond to the above spam. In the immortal words of Admiral Ackbar, "It's A Traaap..."
Agreed. Saw Nope tonight and that particular scene was all levels of fucked.
I hate the idea of being trapped like that. Claustrophobia is such a dreading situation to be in. And it’s so sad to think how even kids were swept into that. I couldn’t look at the distress those people were in and hearing their cries when the creature went back to the ranch.
That scene is my new scariest scene of all time. The screams and the panic...I can't even imagine being apart of that. It freaks me the fuck out so bad.
That was the scariest scene of the freaking movie. Like that is what nightmares are truly about
I loved how at the end after the alien "pops" you see its body float away as a sheet nearly as light as air, sort of explaining how such a large creature is able to fly. It also clearly has some form of aerokinesis ability, since it can generate clouds and tornadoes.
I loved this film just because there is SO MUCH lore that we can create or discuss about

Peele was asked in an interview what he would take from this movie and apply to Get Out and US and his response was the camera tech. He said they way the shot the scenes at night couldn't have been done five years ago.
Paul Thomas Anderson used the exact same cinematography technique for the night scenes in "Licorice Pizza", just FYI. That's why the night sequences in that film look so gorgeous.
@@redadamearth 🤣🤣
I have mixed feelings… I left the theatre confused with what I experienced: there were moments were I was engaged and even scared but there were also slow moments that brought me back to the room to check the time. The siblings were so different and extreme that they felt more like archetypes... My favourite characters were actually the shop technician and the film director. Unlike Peele’s previous films there wasn’t a clear theme but several ideas which I found hard to connect. (Spoilers) My favourite thing was actually that the ship was the alien and I loved how it resembled a stingray. When it unfolded it looked like a camera taking pictures so not as fun… I’m getting tired of films about the film industry but when you explained the homage to the crew I appreciated more. Thanks for such a insightful review. The best on RUclips!
The overall theme is mainly you can’t mess with wild animals and you can’t tame them at the end of the day, don’t make eye contact and you’ll be OK. That’s what happened, he made eye contact with the spaceship when he was thinking that he would survive because he was special and had a special bond. No he didn’t. He just didn’t make eye contact because he was staring at the shoe and I think the tablecloth was in the way of his eyes. Horse man already knew that because he was good working with animals and he loved them.

@@isaiahkasekas7371 And you’re talking about a different character. You’re referring to the one I’m calling horse man.
3 for 3 for me too. This was so much fun and you can absolutely take something out of it. What I took was different than what Chris did. (Kinda spoilerish) I saw it as not just taking tragedy and capitalizing but also…the possibility of taking a predator and trying to make money off of it and killing it when you realize it is not here for our laughs.
Yes and not respecting it and treating it like a spectacle. Just like a wild animal. You bow your head and avert your eyes away from it. It will leave you alone.
Jaws was based on this as well
That’s what I told my friend. That it reminded me of Jaws in that sense. Cool to see others felt the same way.
I agree, they even mentioned Siegfried & Roy with their Tiger
the arrogance of man is thinking he is in control of nature and not the other way around. Even if he momentarily tames it eventually the bargain will be too one sided and it will fail.
that fear you described reminded me of a sense of DREAD I'd often get as a child on the playground when I was on a swingset. If I stared up at the sky while swinging, I'd get this horrible heart-sinking fear for some reason, like I was gonna take off and somehow "fall up" into the sky. sounds like this movie does some cool stuff with that. excited to see it!
I used to get that feeling when as kids, we would lie in the grass and stare up at the sky. At some point, it was like the ground was the ceiling and the sky was the floor, and I'd get this feeling that at some point I was gonna drop from earth and fall into the clouds. When I stood up, it would take me a few moments to reorient myself to what was up and what was down.
Huh, me too. Figured it was anxiety related things.
Wow you really unlocked some childhood memories.
I think it has something to do with how at the peak of a swing, there's a moment of weightlessness, and if all you see is the sky and no horizon, then our brains get a little confused for just a split second, which can be pretty panic inducing. that's just my theory tho
That's called Vertigo, you should really watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie; it's all about that
As a pure cinematographic experience, to be able to see a film with an unique feel, but seemingly disjointed, be assembled in front of our eyes was truly awesome. I hope we get more films and filmmakers like this.
Nope is 9/10 for me.. I would say it would be the perfect sci-fi horror if the end was trimmed a bit and added more dialogue. Full disclosure - I am slightly biased because I love anything with a 1950s style flying saucer but the subversive layers is what did it for me. Also the horror scenes, on paper they don’t sound that scary but damn the way it was filmed with insane audio was disturbing. What I haven’t seen mentioned too much is the idea that “if you look at it it will get you” - not only does this apply to animals sensing fear but also how we engage with news and social media. Another big epiphany for me in this movie and the horror genre is the Bible verse about spectacle and how we clamor to see disturbing or horrifying things for clout, yet we are paying to see a horror movie - truly meta.
Get out of here bot
No

I think the ending needed a bit more tbh
9/10 huh then where do the actual classics rank?? Smh some of y'all delusional
Chris, although your regular reviews are sorely missed, I appreciate them immensely when we get them. I love that you have been committed to your directorial work, and I’m glad that you’ve given yourself the time to pursue your goals, always inspiring.
Rarely does my jaw hang open during a film, and yet I caught myself gobsmacked at least 3 or 4 times during Nope. No idea what parts specifically or why, and yet this movie kept pushing me all over the place.

@Michael Torres I didn't go into expecting to be scared. The trailers weren't scary in the least bit. This was absolutely Peele's Close Encounters with a splash of Jaws.

I knew the movie was gonna be good from the very first scene, which absolutely scared the fuck out of me. Peele is an absolute master at making things that would wake you up from a nightmare in a cold sweat appear on the screen in front of you. His use of color, sound, and visuals create the most awe inspiring and disturbing sequences I've ever seen in a theater. I was legitimately shaking for most of the 3rd act because I just had no clue what to expect and probably because it was also tapping into some childhood phobias I had forgotten about. Absolutely masterful
Agreed! Everyone in the theater was frozen and dead silent. I even stopped chewing my popcorn and was locked onto the screen!

The movie was trash
Kaluuya is one of the best actors of his generation and deserves to be recognized as such. Peele is also brilliant, and great at working with talented actors who deserve to be more famous than they are. Can't wait to see what they both do next.

Great job making me even more excited about this movie without spoiling it at all.
I really enjoyed how the screams early on set-up the creature without simply being a sound-effect. Just one of the really unique ways of foreshadowing the film uses
Edit: Also, loved Steven Yuen as Jude in this. He had a really interesting subplot regarding his difficult feelings about the past, which played well into the themes of animals being used in films.
The nighttime shots you showed that you like, is how my farm looks at night under a full or almost full moon. You can see so much when you are far from the city and moonlit and open spaces. That might be part of how they achieved that imagery.
You did an amazing job of breakdown without giving away any spoilers! Now that I’ve seen the movie I’d love to hear your thoughts on a full breakdown and some more Easter eggs
Saw it last night. At the start, I thought the air around the characters had a weird shimmer and distortion to it. I leaned over to point it out because I found the monster, and half my row did too!
We thought we were seeing something like the predator with the invisible cloak I felt like the Sherlock of cinematography.
The we realized in the middle of the movie it was the clouds that hid the monster.. it turns out the movie projector screen was just so damn dirty that it actually altered the movie experience for us.
The fear you described I’ve had my whole life. I remember looking it up when I was younger and the closest thing I could find was “batophobia”, the fear of being near tall buildings or mountains, as this is now my sense of gravity giving out was tapped for me. Also if you were to lay on the grass under a night sky and then tilt your head back, the sky would look like it’s below the ground, and that would tap that fear for me. Excited for this movie, maybe we can finally find a name for this fear!
Casadastraphobia?
Yes! I've had the same feeling since I was a child. I've never known how to describe it. Batophobia is also the closest phobia that fits the feeling I have.
Really tall buildings, like skyscrapers, leave me locked into place if I remain looking up at it. Also large structures or vehicles like statues, hot air balloons, or trees.
I'm fine when maintaining normal eye level. But the second I look up at a huge structure, I'm frozen still and my entire sense of gravity is just gone.
Wild shit
For me it were tall ceilings. I've thought they would fall down
i was on a hill with a kite and i had such a bad sense that i was gunna fly

Was finally just able to see the movie yesterday and I loved it. It was hilarious, unsettling, horrifying, and full of great characters. That chimp scene really disturbed me, especially because I remember when that one lady was mauled by her friend’s chimp ten or so years ago? And seeing the people get stuck up into the creatures digestive tract was also horrible. I would 100% call this a cosmic horror film, one of my favorite genres. The creature reveal at the end was both terrifying and beautiful.
Hilarious? Not an adjective I’ve seen anyone use for this
I'm so hyped for this movie. I don't think Jordan Peele's films are perfect, but they are very good. What I love is that his movies are incredibly unique and creative while still being very accessible to people that watch mainstream and art house films. He takes numerous big swings in every film and sometimes only a portion connect but I'll support a filmmaker and studio that are willing to take those chances.
Absolutely, he's able to inject some fresh & inspired blood into mainstream movies for those who only pay attention to the more commercially popular films. Possibly some of them, or younger viewers, might dig deeper into Cinema after seeing a uniquely authentic vision played out successfully.
Does anyone understand the shoe 👞 in the monkey sitcom scenes? We’re aliens responsible for that occurrence or something?
@@CRWeaventure i was curious about that as well. There didnt seem to be much of a direct connection between the "sitcom tragedy" and the "sky entity", at least textually. Possibly on a second viewing the subtext of the two events becomes more pronounced. But the shoe . . . some obvious literal meaning has to be there. I really do appreciate that JP's main focus was on delivering the effect and atmospheric sense of what that event would feel like and not as much in connecting narrative structure with definitive answers, at least leaving it ambiguous & keeping some mystique in tact. I also kind of thought that he set up enough details which were never fully addressed that a possible sequel may be in store, but I also am not sure that he's interested in creating a series. But who knows. Either way, one of the most unique and visually spectacular portrayals of this phenomenon!
Exactly! Dude, I absolutely LOVE original ideas in movies. As much as I love the superhero genre, it's incredibly unoriginal. As well as remakes or movies based on classic shows or a video game, book, etc....
I love directors who actually make movies off original ideas, good or bad, I 100% support it. We need more new idea and risks being taken. That's the magic of movies!
@@CRWeaventure it was the only thing Ricky was focus on. Usually when someone is going through trauma they would focus on the oddest thing around them. Also just a reference of what happens later in the film.
Two things: It’s got Night of the Hunter Cinematography vibes. Also if this film doesn’t win an Oscar for Best Sound Mixing & Sound Editing, it will be a damn shame, cause like wow. 😱
We saw it in XD. It was phenomenal sound. I believe it should get a cinematography nod as well..
The sound design was amazing.
Well there’s tog gun…
lol
Honestly- I'm not the biggest fan of JP first two films....but.... he knocked it out of the park with NOPE. The photography at night scenes transformed me. I was genuinely on the edge of my seat. And beautifully shot. Although there
Are many scenes at night, there is perfect clarity and your eyes are constantly searching for whatever might be hiding behind those clouds. I can't stop thinking about those scenes. Please. See this movie. It's original, Strange, wonderful & full of surprises. Support films like this.
Was already looking forward to this one, but now the hype has truly set in. Thanks Chris!
I just love the fact this movie is called “nope“. Like, Jordan Peele could name his movie literally anything and people would go see it
I think this might be my favorite movie from Jordan so far. And I think the rest are great. I’ve just never found myself so immersed in a sci-fi film before, especially one that had so much originality to it. And the score was amazing.
See the movie "Close Encounters of the third kind"
You know the movie about to be fire when Chris uploads.
Dumpster fire.
Realistically it isn’t a bad movie. Just ok.
He’s reviewed numerous movies he wasn’t fond of including Thor Love and Thunder. He’s said he won’t shit on a movie but he will at least talk about the things he enjoys/doesn’t like in them.
He's reviewed plenty of stinkers
I don't see the point of reviews if you know they can't really be negative.
He reviewed Love and Thunder LOL
You new here huh?
Really getting some “M. Night in the good ol days” vibes from Peele. Really hope he just keeps doing his thing. Love it all and can’t wait to see this one. Thanks for the hype
Peele is less talented.
@@BishopWalters12 wouldn’t say that he’s less talented but he’s still working on his craft. So Night made his magnum opus with the Happening (sixth sense) and slowly lost it Peele is feeling more careful and not stressing out movies. Night is still one of my favorites tho
Give it 10 or so years, until people become tired of “oh look it’s another Jordan Peele thriller, how original.” People were in love with M. Night back in the day, now we know what he brings to the table so we’re not impressed anymore
I loved M. Night movies, but his writing just varied so wildly, and some of his directorial choices just… didn’t land, for me. I was excited to see Old this past year, but that script was terrible. 😮💨
@@tybrown7112 I feel you! Started out with a bang then just lost it. Still haven’t watched old but really want to but also really don’t … but then again, signs is one of my favorite films and I don’t know many people who like that one so I might love it 🤷🏼♂️
I was genuinely impressed with Peele's ability to break tension with a joke/bit only to immediately bring it back like a snap of the fingers. Truly masterful.
5:55 Thank you SO much for that perspective. I’ve been racking my brain since last night trying to make sense of how that tragedy on the 90s TV set fit in to the main story, and now it makes sense.
Oooh man there's a lot more references as well to that 90s scene to the rest of the film. Can't say too much without going into spoilers. But on 2nd viewing I got a lot more from it.
Also side note:
There's also references to the "useless things" that the 👽 throws away in reference to Otis Haywood Sr. As in how something can be taken out or discarded when thought to be no longer useful. Think about it.
YES! I have the same phobia. It also extends to kites. I've never been able to properly explain it, but seeing balloons or kites or really anything that extend far into the sky gives me extreme vertigo and anxiety.
Same kites is the only way I’ve ever been able to explain it. Whether it’s being taken by the kite or a fear the kite will land on something it’s not supposed to idk
“Gives me extreme vertigo and anxiety”
Okay, drama queen.
Maybe it’s a fear of the sky? It’s so vast and open, sometimes it instills a sense of smallness and vulnerability in people that can mess with their heads. I think it’s related to prairie madness, when settlers would get anxious from the flat open spaces of the us as they moved it west.
@@07foxmulder Gets pressed over word choice. Calls someone else a drama queen. Brilliant.
@@Hobie02425 Gets pressed over my comment while accusing others of being pressed lmao
Thank you for this loving review. I just came from seeing it. It's truly a piece of art. My son and I spent almost 2 hours in the parking lot of the theater discussing it. Beautiful.
I didn’t know Keith David was in this film until now, that’s awesome!
Keith David is in Chris's new film if IMDB is accurate
8:02 would have been even better if he said “Peele was offered the chance to make a live action Akira, but he said nope”
Another winner for Peele! While Get Out remains my favorite, Nope is probably my second favorite. There is a LOT to love about this movie and it was super thrilling and horrifying. The claustrophobia scene made me have a mild panic attack.
Chris is really the best at non spoiler reviews. Builds hype without giving it away
Happy to hear the movie is solid. Keke Palmer has that infectious positive vibe that’s hard not to love!
Just saw it, 90% of the movie was a 8-9/10 type of movie but the final 30 minutes are mind-numbingly stupid IMO. Hope you enjoy it, I left very disappointed and stunned.
@@JayNSG0 What was dumb about the ending? The whole time they were trying to film the alien.
And bang, the Akira reference just landed.
Oh that is soooo cool. Thanks for the gift Chris.
It's funny how this movie brings up childhood memories. When we left the theater I could stop telling my kids how dark it is in the country. No street lights, no freeway lights, no lights from cars, just the moonlight and vast space. Also rain hitting a tin roof, which there are many in the country, is scary as hell. All the messages in the movie were great, but after watching some reviews, people who complain about being spoon fed messages seem to need to be spoon fed messages because they didn't get it.🤣🤣🤣It's a must see. Great review as always, Chris.
Agua Dulce is on the outskirts of Los Angeles, one of the largest cities in the world. Calling it the "country" is a bit of a stretch.
Ufos and Aliens have been a huge fear of mine since childhood and that scene where you see the alien walking towards daniel in the trailer hit a little too close to home. I’ve had dreams of aliens being outside my house since I was around 5
Wait until you see multiple I used to like aliens a lot when i was a kid now look at my Chanel I’ve seen more plus the ones I caught on cam
same tho word for word
@@051youngmoney8 dull sod
@@Commander_Shepard. what’s that mean
Nope definitely wasn’t perfect but it was pretty great regardless. My takeaway for the chimp scene was how people often ignore the inherent danger of a situation to rather focus on the spectacle of it. The people would rather sit and watch a chimp perform, ignoring how it’s a dangerous wild animal, just like they’d look up at the UFO rather than get up and run. And then afterwards fans and paparazzi focus on the tragedy’s spectacle and ignore its devastation
oh snap, if Stuckmann is coming out this early then we know he loved it.
He's kissing that Hollywood a@@.
5:20 it's like how even people who call themselves movie reviewers, think the Director does everything from writing the script to financing, editing cinematography. It's a bit of a shame that we presume the Director is the one who does all these jobs, rather than the people who actually did it.
The director still has to oversee some of those aspects of the film.
Its his own crew ( team ) without the director being there, the team wont have a vision. Everyone has a role in the film industry and everytime a writer/ director creates a film, they usually use the same team.
@@ricksanchez3189 this isn't true, a director may say can I have this person, but it's the producers who organise everything, a director may request but it's the producers who give the okay. Now a director could also be a producer, just like they can be the script writer as well. In terms of is it the directors vision, well without a script then their is no vision to be had, but this is silly as it's a collaborative effort no one is the most important factor, it's a team. Without a cameraman you have no image. Without editor you have a sequential mess. Etc.
@@OrangeHand there is "we know the director had some involvement in the script in this scene for example they did this" and saying the director wrote a terrible script for the entire movie.
@@Alex-cw3rz all true and with that being said Peele is the writer, director and producer of this film.
I feel like the main character being quiet is pretty cool! He was quiet even before the trauma that we know about in the show. Reminds me just like some customers I have had at work! In fact, I feel like those customers are usually from rural areas or farms. So maybe they really are nailing that demographic there. A real horse man. Compared to his sister who seemed like she didn’t live around there. I really thought they were going to get rid of her maybe in the second half since she was such a source of optimism and liveliness. I feel like that would’ve been a good idea to cut her off at a certain point so that we felt more desperate and we are left with the character who barely talks. But nope.
Saw this last night and I was fully engaged the whole time. I left the theater a bit sore physically, it was that suspenseful. I'm so glad i saw it on a huge screen, in XD, it was beautifully filmed.
I swear this movie played with my anxiety... I agree with Chris. This makes me now terrified of clouds
Also OJ, running from an eye in the sky, on a bronco? Brilliant
I quit enjoy horror and sci-fi films that give you room to interprit their overall meaning and that breed discussion, whether you enjoyed the film or maybe did not like it as much. That discussion of WHAT the film might have been about, or what it was trying to say, is always enjoyable. I think any film that can generate discussion at the end is always worth a watch. I also like films that can weave humor into dark situations. In real life humor is seldom absent even in the darkest of times. Humans use humor to cope with bad stuff. When there isn't humor in horror it doesn't feel natural to me. It doesn't have to be slapstick, but it has to be there at least a little.
It's so crazy that you mention that fear of floating away, cause I've got the exact same thing. Not sure where it came from, probably the strong winds around where I grew up. But images of randomly getting sucked into the sky appear pretty often for me. So it'll be super interesting seeing how this movie gives that some catharsis
Do you know the name of the phobia?
Maybe casadastraphobia
Great Summer Flick. Special effects not overdone. This was focussed on the actors. The actors were superb. The whole aspect of animal training and knowing the animal was very slowly revealed. So many movies hit you over the head with special effects and obvious plot lines. The story grew slowly in your mind and you didnt notice the pressure building in your chest until the climax. Well done.
The TV sequence has honestly crystallized since I left the theater yesterday. Now I completely see how it’s representative of a core theme in the film.
It's awesome that you caught the Akira reference at that riveting scene toward the end. That was the first thing that came to mind during that sequence as well. Chris you are a true cinephile my friend.
This movie was fantastic. It was so unique from Peeles other films. Scared the absolute shit out of me. I almost had a heart attack. Loved it. Great point about Daniel Kaluuya. He was wonderful. His silent and stoic approach was incredibly emotional.
I can’t wait to see NOPE! Jordan Peele is one of my personal favorite directors and I love that his movies are original with mind bending plot twists! I feel like this is just the beginning of what Peele can really do!
Dude made 1 mediocre invasion of the body snatchers rip off and flopped on everything else. He completely ruined the twilight zone also. Chris cukman and other coward critics aren't going to actually critique peeles movie's.
The praise this hack gets is fn hilarious.

Jaws in one of my favorite movies and I think Spielberg's best. I'd show it to students if I were a film school teacher. I'm glad to hear it referenced in the movie.
Jaws is a literal mastahpiece

Excellent review. Thank you. I’ve been really surprised at how much of this film has been missed by several prominent critics. There’s so much depth and subtext here to enjoy, his films really remind me of Kubrick in this way. Bravo Peele. More please!
While this film and Get Out are good , Us sucked. You can't pretend Us was good because it wasn't. It was terrible, rushed, the plot made no sense and the ending was laughable. Two good movies and a terrible one.
I saw it last night. What an amazing film. The night scenes, as Chris says, with one shot in particular, are just movie magic.
Amongst all the typical mainstream hollywood fair, an original flick like this deserves your time and money more so than the usual. Hopefully it does well.
This is one of the better summations/reviews of Nope that I’ve seen. Automatic new subscriber here 👌
An ex of mine took too much acid once, and after had a phobia of the open sky. He hated going out to the country or on rooftops. He said it was the idea of gravity reversing, and being aware that if that happened, you would just fall upward to your death. I never really understood it, but i could empathize with it and stopped parking on the roof of the parking garage while we were together.
sounds like a real upstanding member of society
@@livebyfaith4647 he's an ex for a reason 😂
That sounds like an interesting plot for a movie tho.
@@jamessummers5936 There is a novel that highlights this fear. the protagonist has agoraphobia (cant leave the house) because she has a ptsd reaction to the open sky after she was in a horrible accident and her car went off a cliff.
I think Stephanie Soo has a Baking a Mystery episode about it
Mom has wanted to see this in a cinema and now so do I . . . it really feels like it's Peele's love-letter to every sci-fi that inspired him!
I've loved your reviews for a while now, but I love this one even more. So well put! Thank you
Was anyone else disappointed that the end wasn’t just the director’s unseen footage of him inside the UFO?
No....but I was disappointed with the rest lol
Just didn't get it 🥱
I truly liked this film for sheer ambition, it felt like Signs even at the end.
Same
they chased a sheet for an hour ina half
@@hef3281 Congratulations you missed the point. Try again.
Just saw this movie (with my son) last night -- and was absolutely blown away. We both were. Walking out of the theater, all I could say was "wow" and "amazing." This morning, my brain is still processing it and trying to work out the details. I did notice that "making a deal with the predator" was woven in -- first, in the story of the chimpanzee: a truly terrifying animal that we kid ourselves into thinking we've "tamed." I also noticed that at no point was a real chimp used in this film. The scenes from Gordy excluded Gordy himself, and we only saw him through the eyes of Ricky (who, not having been among the victims of the original trauma, was perhaps convinced he had come to an understanding with It by offering it horses. I don't know. Just my thoughts upon first viewing. This is what I love about Peele's films -- never just simple entertainment, always food for thought and conversation.
Just got out of a showing, I definitely think the first and second half were very strong and very intense. As much as I liked Michael Wincott's and the Brandon Parrera performance, Steven Yuen was the standout in my opinion. Dude deserves more.
Well Chris, you spoiled it at 7:33 😂 Couldn’t help myself and CAN’T wait to see. Thank you for this stellar review. The elements of this is so attractive. I absolutely admire Daniel! Him and Keke already seem like such a good duo.
I'm going to assume nothing I hear nothing lalalalala
Got this from imdb:
"Most of the night sequences, specifically those shot out in the Haywood's field, were actually shot in the day with a complex rig built by cinematographer Hoyte Van Hoytema. These scenes were shot with a normal 5-perf 70mm Panavision film camera and a digital ARRI Alexa 65 camera, modified with the IR filter removed from the sensor to make it sensitive to infrared light, rigged up in a 3D camera rig so they were set to take the same image at once, similar to how van Hoytema shot the lunar chase sequence in Ad Astra (2019). These two images were then composited together to give the night scenes their unique look. In fact, most of these sequences are opened up for IMAX, but were actually shot in normal 5-perf 70mm film in a 2.20:1 aspect ratio and were digitally expanded upon in post. This was done for two reasons: one, there is no digital camera as of yet whose sensor is as big as IMAX film, so the two cameras wouldn't match up perfectly; and two, the skies were already going to be completely digitally replaced for the effects sequences, so that information would've been useless to the filmmakers anyway."
I haven't been excited for a movie in a long time (4+years) and I am pumped to see this one. Amazing cast, a favorite director, and interesting genre.
Just finished this movie in theaters and Daniel Kaluuya has this pain in his eyes that you can just feel. How you described he is great with silence is so spot on. So many scenes in this movie show just Daniel’s face and you can feel exactly what he is in that moment without him saying a word. In the first horse scene where he’s being directed by the commercial staff you can feel the dread that comes from working in an environment that you hate for one reason or another. Daniel captures that perfectly and deserves his roses. -Edit great review on the movie 👏🏽👏🏽
Movie was mid …..
@@itscalebgreen damn I fr didn’t ask
It was real good the second act especially and parts of the first and third acts also were great. Loved the chimp scene. That was pure horror and you don't even really see much, you just hear and see blood on the chimp and connect the dots yourself. The mystery behind the thing in the sky also built a lot of suspense and was actually shocked at some of what I saw which is a good thing. I just find this type of stuff interesting anyway. Although I loved the chimp scene it didn't really add anything to the film narratively I felt like. Gives backstory to one of the more minor characters I guess and set the tone for the film
Easily my best film of the year next to the black phone. The cast was amazing and so many hidden messages throughout the film. Visual effects and just everything was near perfect.
Lmao this movie and the Black Phone are my most disappointing movies of the year
@@InQuickWeTrust Sorry to hear that lol.
@@InQuickWeTrust black phone disappointed too, but what I learned is to not have your expectations to high. I did expect a lil more from NOPE! But honestly it was fun as hell,,, the chimp scene disturbed tf out of me and I just wish they included more of the “monster” / kills
@@BigQ17 Currently watching everything everywhere all at once and its ok so yeah still like NOPE better so far. Everything everywhere all at once is pretty cheesy and the martial art fight scenes look fake tbh.
Black phone was terrible such a disappointment
Your story about the blimp is relatable to me. One time at night only a couple years ago. A plane was flying but very low, I thought it was a ufo and took off 😂😂😂😂
When you said it's about the crew, and their lingo. I'm a chef and in culinary, especially back of house, we have a language that only other culinaries would know.
The other day I was playing a video game and things were intense. Someone gave me an order and I responded "heard!" Once the fight was over they asked me about it and I'm like, that's what we say to our chefs when we've heard them to let them know they don't gotta know we heard them, not needing to say something another time and cut their focus.
My dogs know "heard" as it's their Heel command lmao. I also have my favorite "with me!" The Jon snow classic, big and loud and the dogs run from everywhere.
Keith David is such an under appreciated actor.
He did great in Green Leaf
Even tho the movie was close to being called “Nope Encounters of the Third Signs” it was a great movie.
Those stunning nighttime scenes are most likely using a cinematographic technique called "day for night": daytime filming through a camera with an adjusted aperture/adjusted exposure, letting in less light into the camera...so those scenes were probably shot during the day. This was the older way to do it but the same effect can probably achieved in postproduction nowadays. The opening scenes of Jaws used day for night.
I went to see Nope today in an IMAX and enjoyed it. I haven't been scared by a movie since Signs, and since I was a kid I have had a paralyzing fear of aliens, so I expected to be terrified, but unfortunately I didn't feel much. There were a few scary scenes, and one very horrifying moment which I won't spoil. Like you said, though, it tapped into that fear. Prometheus did the same, but unfortunately Alien fanboys ruined any potential for a followup.
I wasn't expecting it to be that scary actually. I didn't go in the movie for the scares but for the concept, however there's one or two scenes which the concept is absolutely horrifying.
@@Thisispow Yeah, the one scene immediately following the show at Jupe's park, involving tbe audience, was horrifying. It felt a lot like one scene from War of the Worlds, but much scarier.
