I'm so glad you picked up on the screams sounding like people on a roller coaster. Peele actually instructed a group of people to make two different kinds of screams: the ones they'd make on a roller coaster, and ones they'd make being digested alive.
I think it's a super good detail and really adds to the terror of the creature
I'd like to comment on Jean Jacket 2 not eating OJ:
It went into a threat display after OJ hurt it. And then full threat display when OJ looked it in the eye. It wasn't looking at just prey any longer. It was looking at something dangerous and approaching carefully. It didn't want it with him anymore and he wasn't pressing the issue (he and Lucky were backing up while not breaking eye contact).
Something similar happens with Jupe's balloon. But the balloon doesn't back down.
OOOOOOOOH. I figured it was more of a posturing thing: full threat display, OJ looks like he's gonna put up a fight so JJ goes after the Em who's smaller/running. I just thought it get greedy.
The green thing that comes out at the end I think is the eye. Much like a camera eye, a camera shutter, it made the shutter motion of a camera.
The YT Channel "Enya and Ishara" pointed out something I never realized. The only reason Keith died in the beginning of the movie is because he was looking up at the spectacle. That's the only way the coin was able to go through his eye.
"You don't have to sing the whole song." "With a voice like this? I do."
Right?? I'm so shocked the man has only 6 VA credits...
Similar to Gordy, it seems in the end that Jean Jacket was just another victim of spectacle. Both animals are trapped or lost in an unfamiliar environment and are in turn exploited by people in that environment for the purpose of spectacle. These animals eventually reach their breaking point and try to violently take control of their environments, ultimately wreaking havoc and causing death and destruction. Through this act they become monster's to all around them and are ultimately killed because of it.
Jean Jacket was never the real "villain" of Nope, no, in the end it was always Spectacle.
Aw fuck getting spoiled on nope is awful, i saw it in theaters and was so damn happy to find out it was an organism and not a ship. So damn cool.
Jean Jacket's final form is very much like an old fashioned camera with the 'cloak' draped over the back and the shiny square lens at the front. I think it's to evoke a sense that it has been in the world a long time, only seen by people who are now gone (the photos of the dead people from victorian times, families only taking photos after their death just popped into my head too).
I definitely think that was a Holes reference, mentioned alongside the 'missing' black child actor, a film about children used and abused to gain a stolen fortune.
It actually made more think about something CinemaWins talked about. Like a sea creature dying on a plastic.
It's interesting that you caught Jupiter's stories as grandiose narcissism. I always thought it was a method of coping with the traumatic experience... like to just attempt at owning it till it doesn't hurt anymore.
I'll admit its prolly 'cause he rubbed me the wrong way from the get go.
I actually see it as a sort of mixture of both narcissism AND trauma: he survived a horrific animal attack, and now he believes that he has some sort of control over animals that others don't.
I ADORE this movie. Your commentary was phenomenal. One of the things (i may be over analyzing) i noticed was the specific call out to the wheelchair on the roof of that blood drenched plantation house. That belonged Jupe's costar and i could write an essay about her.
I think it may be saying something on how colonialism will "chew up and discard" anything that it doesn't deem necessary. I also think having her self veil herself against anymore eyes is loaded on multiple levels. Like it is a child actor being washed up (chewed up and spat out by the industry) and just how our society treats disabled people. And what's wild is Jupe inviting her and CLEARLY calling her out to everybody to be viewed as well.
Lord this movie
the added heartbreak of her clearly not wanting to be in the show, she was completely deflated and unhappy in the shots before they were filming.
there are so many layers to this film:
the two siblings as aspects of the director's own personality, that he has talked about in interviews
the children and audience being offered up to The Viewers by an ex child actor making his comeback, and being consumed himself
the Viewer's costume faces being the old cameras from Jupe's flashback
the cinematographer is almost exactly physically based on the movies cinematographer, the character having lung cancer and a death wish and ending up filming his own death
there is so much packed into the concept of 'being seen'
I absolutely missed the screams of the hikers from the start (who had the coins and keys)
Apparently the story after the film is OJ, Emerald and Angel team up with a biologist to make a documentary about it and get to name it's classification. They got their Oprah Shot.
I feel like every person whose thoughts on this movie I hear brings up things I didn't notice about it. I really enjoyed your insights.
love your commentary as always!
And i agree about the sound design its incredible. iirc the screams of the people inside jj were made by getting the actors to do "fun screams" aka like on a rollercoaster, then "horrified screams" and both were layered on top of each other which turns out makes for a really unsettling experience
Cleanest live action Akira slide I've ever seen!
Really interesting reaction! Seeing you react to the horror was so fun, and i highly recommend all the jordan peele movies since theyre all fantastic, both in social commentary but in horror and cinematography. I will watch every movie this man makes i swear
I do wanna share some thoughts i had while watching!
-Ive never heard the colonialism analysis before, but thats so interesting! Jordan Peele rlly is such a genius filmmaker, he knows how to craft such interest and multidimensional metaphors and the multitude of papers you could write on every one of his films is so amazing! I can fully believe jordan peele could have had meant it this way too!
That being said, on terms of theming. i dont agree with the idea that the film gave up on the idea of the spectacle, i actually think the entire movie was about and happened BECAUSE of ppls obsession with chasing the spectacle. Capturing the perfect money shot. Getting the photo. Taming the animal for the sake of a sitcom. All for the sake of getting that content (and for most, the fame and fortune that comes with it). Its also why the cinematographer was willing to let himself get eaten for the sake of getting the perfect shot. OJ wasnt concerned about that (which is why he was the perfect protagonist), but everyone else very much was and a major motivator for all their actions
-Jupiter to me has always been an incredibly tragic character who was rlly shaped by the environment he grew up on. Hes a former child actor who lived through an insanely traumatic event, and not only did Hollywood not take it seriously and made it into a, again, a spectacle (SNL skits and MAD magazine cover), since his entire development years was being part of the business, he knew no other to process that trauma than to make it a spectacle himself. He saw commercializing his own trauma as “normal”
-You looked it up already but yea, the gordy incident was based off a real thing.
Wild animals being wild animals are a big thing in this film, and rlly shows how ppl will do anything for content. So much so, theyll even disrespect NATURE, the very definition of fuck around and find out. Wild animals dont have the same concept of “morality” like ppl do, its mainly instincts. Of course the horse is going to kick if gets spooked. Of course the chimp is going to attack if it feels threatened (which is also why the gordy scene is tragic for multiple reasons). Of course the alien eats when its hungry. And yet, ppl will still try to “tame” them. Yea, dont mess with nature.
(Also i know i talked about jupiter earlier, but thats probably where he failed, he saw himself as “special”, seeing his connection to gordy as the reason he survived, but again, animals dont work like that. Thats also why OJ survived, because his whole life is working with animals so he know that. I actually watched a reaction by a person who grew up on a farm and when watching OJ, was just like “oh my god he acts just like my dad.” Wake up early, get those animals fed, etc. When you work on a farm, that farm rlly is your life)
-The TMZ guy is such a hilarious depiction of someone whos only interested In content over anything else. Again, it fits with the films themes but also you CALLED IT with the logan paul comment. Logan Paul HATED this movie. LP, aka the guy who vlogged a dead body in japan and made a clickbaity thumbnail, hated the movie criticizing guys who do this. The lack of self awareness is astounding
-One of my favorite shots is always going to be OJ riding that horse! The fact that the first piece of cinema was of a black man whose name was forgotten, and that man, in the story was their great great grandfather is a major reason for emeralds obsession with fame, understandable since they never got the legacy they should have. And OJ recreating that shot in this movie was just chefs kiss
-Jordan Peele was actually approached to make an Akira live action remake but he turned it down. That shot was 1000% him going, “you know if i did it, i would pull it off”
All in all, just some thoughts i had, im so glad you enjoyed this movie! If its not obvious by my long comment, i personally adore it so i love watching your personal in depth analysis
(I really have too much to say about this film, I'm so glad you did this one TK) the only reason Jupe survives the Geordie episode is that Geordie can't see his eyes through the tablecloth, but Jupe thinks he was 'chosen' or had a special relationship with animals. probably why he went into an animal heavy performance business as an adult. I could not believe that Geordie was acted by a human through motion capture, it looked flawless.
there is something about Peele's films that is so genuine and visually powerful that they make me SO NERVOUS.
42:20 Probably "collaborator" is a word to use, but a far more fun word would be "Quisling", a word taken from the name of the Norweigan prime Minister who collaborated with Germany during the 1940s.
I love your analysis!! Youre so right OJ is mad autistic-coded; he and Em's relationship definitely felt like autism and ADHD symbiosis
Loved your commentary and insights! I feel like everytime I read/watch more content on this movie I keep learning new things. I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched Nope, even though I already know what happens the effect never wears off.
Jean Jacket at the end reminds me a little of Walpurgisnacht from Madoka
Being unconscious that long after a concussion isn't a good idea. Wouldn't recommend doing it. 😂
this has weirdly become a comfort video for me. i love this movie and i love ur reactions! :-)
In the end Jean Jacket was put down because it was a wild animal minding its own business and people tried to turn it into a spectacle
i get where you’re going but i wouldn’t exactly say minding its own business 😅😅
All I can say is that I’m glad you watch these movies so I can be fearful with you!
I’ve never heard anyone say “ASMR” as a word lmao, “asmir videos”
I cannot believe you cut the reveal about eye contact wtf
@@mewt5358 fair use forced me to make some hard decisions.
Just found your channel and your analysis' of movies are incredibly entertaining and informative to watch. Love the videos! keep em up!
Really good reaction! Love to see ur horror stuff though I understand why you don’t do it as often. After coming from the neon genesis evalgion mock opening edit you did- this was such a treat. Awesome stuff!
Your insights are so good and spot on.
This is a cool movie, but I just can't stand how weirdly they portray horses. As if they are just fleshy machines that react based on some strict coding.
They don't freak just because you look them in the eye, for example. Hell, most horses wouldn't even react to a mirror after a short while because their language isn't as sight based as ours is. They talk a lot through smell. If the reflection don't smell like another horse, they will ignore it.
Now, of course horses CAN find you a bit scary or bossy if you look them straight in the eye, especially if they don't know you. But if you do know the horse and the horse has been raised around people, they will look you in the eye because that's a behaviour they have learned when interacting with humans.
It's just...odd...how this movie makes it so black and white. And why would JJ attack as soon as you look them in the eye? If they are a predator, shouldn't looking at them make them take a "step" back? Like with a tiger or a wolf?
Well that was a fun reaction!
Loved the reaction, by the way. And apologies for clogging up your comment section.
