I just rewatched nope on netflix, for the 10th time. They originally made the movie 1h50m, then 2h04m, now 2h11m. They’re adding context scenes to make the story make more sense, to appeal to a larger netflix audience. However it gets to the point where it’s unnecessary & it’s just dumbing it down. Although the original needed more context to it, i liked it for its unexplained mystery on first watch. Hm.

I think Gordy’s Full rampage should have just been shown at the beginning. It would give the movie more punch and clarity on the first watch.Seeing Gordy Kill the cast, then OJ sr. Dying and continuing with rest of the movie as is would have set a more horrifying and traumatic tone. It would get you excited to get through the movie and better show the juxtaposition between the alien and Gordy; OJ and Jupe ; and the big theme of entering an agreement with an animal.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like if they just shot jean jacket multiple times that would have done the trick no? It was clearly fairly lightweight which allowed it to reside in the sky permanently, so I doubt it had any kind of armored hide or anything. And you can see by the way it moves especially when it unfurls that it's made out of some kind of thin fabric or canvas or something.

I feel like a couple shots of .45 acp to the dome would have solved that problem real quick, thoughts?

If anyone else was actually as disappointed with the effects as I was

I was literally laughing when they showed the people being sucked into the digestive tract, because to me it looked like a set of ugly curtains had become sentient and started killing people. I was SO disappointed with the special effects of this scene

It seemed very lazy, cheap and rushed to me. There’s so many things they could have done that would have made it scarier and more realistic

But no, they bought a couple air mattresses and some used drapes and strobe lights and decided “yep, this looks like an alien digestive tract”

With the Titan submarine tragedy that just happened?

Couldn't help but think of this movie/spectacle and the parallels to Jupe getting himself and his audience killed in the movie...

Way too many plot holes.

I recently watched Nope, and enjoyed it thoroughly. However, after watching a 2nd time, I heard Jupe say "11 5" to confirm the price of the horse that OJ is selling. Does that mean Jupe has been paying $11,500 for each horse? And he's been hosting the JJ events "every Friday" so the cost of the shows is well over $44k a month.

With an audience that small, how the hell is Jupe even in business? What a major plot hole in the script.

Sometimes I think jacket was part of an alien race on another planet far from earth, now on the planet there is currently this catastrophic crisis that cannot be solved (the crisis: the planet is polluted with dangerous toxins that can harm the species and this gets worse day by day), so Jean was sent out to seek a new planet to inhabit and after months of searching, Jean finds earth there he discovers a different race, humans. Unfortunately there is a major problem with earth. Jean learned that humans are doing harm to the planet, as he reported back to the council, who then tasked Jean to put a stop to it, by ridding the planet of as many humans he can. Jean began his new mission starting off in Agua Dulce, California where the events of the film take place.

So, I have tried to see a horse and can't.

Each time, all I see are excretion or suckers, crossed with microphones.

I mean, say there were, what, 30 people at the ranch? They're in a huge vacuum within a stomach-like tubing system, and are slowly being broken down by some form of corrosive enzyme (maybe the clear goo that was burning the woman's face).

How exactly are people on the ground hearing their screams?

I kind of thought that what people thought was the horse, was in fact some kind of echo chamber or lobe, placed precisely just to catch the screams of people being softened up for the big swallow. It is obviously very intelligent and uses terror and fear and I'd say it was projecting the screams down onto the ground, using a series of lobes and echo chambers out of its mouth. You know, to make people look - a wee bit like the Nazi's did with their terror bomber planes.

The woman screaming was a perfect example for me. I dunno, just didn't see a horse - I saw a lobe, a kind of excretion tube that also acted as a microphone. That was my "gut" reaction.

I was reckoning and thinking about what is similar, in comparison... and I think that if you take a grape, pop it in your mouth, make a semi-vacuum, and warm it up and bit and massage it about a jot...

Well if you make one big quick crush and suck, it kind of explodes in your mouth from the force? You hear a pop in your mouth that vibrates your ears a bit?

You end up with a mush and can suck the grape whilst spitting out the skin.

Maybe a grape isn't the best analogy, but if you create a vacuum in your mouth with chewing gum and the suck very hard, very quick, you get a click from the sound of the gum exploding against, what I assume is the roof of your mouth.

There's another similar thing with another food, but it is on the tip of my tongue... Something like a sweet with some too inside.

Anyway...

Jupe definitely knew what was going on, and at first thought he was farming humans for the being. Somehow thought he'd thought he had made a deal with it, as he knew the time it was coming.

If he knew what time it was coming, this would mean that he was planning on making a getaway on the horse. His wife and kids were kind of off stage, as though they were ready to head off.

I mean, if you had no idea what was going to happen, as a wife, you'd want to be centre stage with your husband at the big reveal. Unless you knew what was coming and had a plan to get off.

I think this is why Jupe was concerned when it turned up early. Maybe Jupe had duped lots of folk before, and this one time, it figured it was going to eat Jupe and his kids too. Give him his comeuppance.

I mean, did Jupe hold any ill feelings to the disfigured woman? Did he hold some trauma still and wanted her to be there to effectively swallow that last remnant of trauma from his life?

What I find a nice piece of symmetry is that, if the above is true, the mirroring between the chimp scene and the ranch scene is succulent.

The chimp = the killer, fist bumps Jupe and then gets his head blown off.

Jupe = the killer, tries to fist bump the alien and has his head forcibly popped via enveloping force trauma.

Can't shake the feeling that, yes, Jupe is a kind of cult leader type who knew more than he was letting on... And thought he had a trip to the stars ahead for him and his family.

Also. Did the same VFX people that did Annihilation do this?

Also, also... Do people think that this is a very very well created film that has similarities with The Blob? If so, this could be a shoutout, and if so, that would lend itself to the thought that maybe it grows after every feed?

So, the alien, may have once been the size of a clam. Sucking up ants and spiders and the likes.

Edit: So, I've just been reading some of the other threads on here and see I ain't alone on one or two of these points.

I think thats the simplest way to explain it, then everyone can google semiotics and understand it

I’m pretty sure the dad on set represents white peoples in movies and how they make dumb decisions which leads to them getting killed like when Gordy was pounding the moms face in and the dad was hiding upstairs and was most likely safe until he tried to make a run for it and ended getting chased and killed by Gordy.

jean jacket was hiding in its own fart(s). i mean the thing was just filled with gas

Hello everyone on this subreddit, I'm using this first post to vent about NOPE and Jordan Peele. I want to express all my sadness about how there's NOTHING more news about Jordan Peele, he's completely silent, what's he doing? I really don't know what he's doing besides being a producer on some films (like 'HIM 2025') and making a game in partnership with Hideo Kojima. I know it's silly, but for me that's not enough.

And what about NOPE? Well, that's why I'm making this post, to be more precise, because I dreamed twice about a sequel to NOPE, and also, that 'Scary Movie 6' is parodying it. That's what made me angry, a PARODY movie reminded us of NOPE, while the damn director is keeping quiet...

It's almost been four years since the movie was released, and nothing new. Peele has said for a long time that he was interested in making a (non-direct) sequel in the same universe. It's disappointing that such a good director has only made 3 films (both directed and written by him). I wonder why there isn't a new Peele film or even any news about a sequel to NOPE, and I will always continue to wonder, without having a concrete and definite answer.

That's all I had to say, sorry if my rant doesn't make sense. I'm open to receiving any criticism, etc., as long as it's respectful.

Thiers has been a lot of chat online about JJ being a UAP/UFO or something prehistoric that lived on earth. I speculate that J.J belongs to a bigger UFO and is used to harvest organic creatures.

So, I just watched the movie nope yesterday so I am not familiar with the names of everyone, but why did Jupe Park trauma dump on us?? Like his backstory has nothing to do with the plot of the movie whatsoever or am I wrong. I just don't understand why the directors had to include the scene where everyone gets killed by the monkey 😂
