Official NOPE Thread

The biggest issue with the movie IMO, was just the sheer stupidity of the bunch.

Spoiler

Like doing all that for a picture or footage of an alien in 2022?? That, by their assertion, at best would net 100K? With all the damage to their property, they wont even breakeven with their highest monetary estimate. It reminds me of the end of Glass where they have video evidence of people with powers. With deep fakes, cgi, photoshop etc etc, NO ONE is moved by that type of evidence.

And for a movie called Nope, none of the characters acted like I thought they would. They kept acting like the white boys in scary movies. When I thought the point of the 'nope' was black folk will see some wild shyt and be like "nope. Not my problem". These dudes really tried to tease and tame an alien to get a picture/ video to sell for some money

Real talk, they should've fukked around and found out like

Jupe

Clout chasing at it's finest. The only shooting they did in the movie was with cameras

just finished watching this and I loved it...much like Arrival, I like this different take on "aliens"

the way this switches from a horror film to a western is amazing too without losing a beat either

Saw this on another forum.

I found it to be a story about artists of color fighting desperately not to be erased from history. In addition the movie is about the fact that artists of color have to turn their trauma into entertainment to survive.

And if yout notice the Peele tweet/Gordy's Home intro the theme chorus kicks in when it shows a young Jupe "You're a strange animal"

People of color chewed up and spit out in the industry searching for that added fame. Jupe thought he was special cause the monkey didnt kill him. When really its just cause the monkey didnt see him eye to eye. Table cloth saved him.

It could be that....or it could be what it really is.....this dude is an overrated movie maker and not as groundbreaking and deep as film geeks want him to be.....next Hitchcock?
Nah....more like the new M. Night Shamalama whatever

...... nikka if the movie is soooooo straight forward people wouldn't still be "missing shyt" now would they?

Because it ain't straightforward at all......and the creator knew that, which is why all the trailers had folks guessing what this was.....once people get to talking about this trash( and I mean real people, not prepaid film nerd ass cac reviewers) then the real gonna come out.....

Hahahaha like I said, he the New M.Night Shamalamadingdong.....

Tried to tell y'all film room nerds that once the people saw this movie the real was gonna come out.

All them white movie reviewers y'all follow?

Stop

This might turn into some Cloverfield type shyt. Where he produces a bunch of half azzed movies that somehow "Connect" to one another.

 

[Jasonmask]

Tried to watch it the other day and fell asleep 30 mins in. Seemed interesting though

This is the sentiment that I have. Instead of watching it again, I'll just read the breakdowns online
