The fact that you believe this shyt is deep enough not to get, is the problem with film/TV discourse nowadays. These delusions of grandeur where folks build their expertise around watching some mainstream films and think it's the apex of cinematic storytelling, and anybody that dare voice anything not in tune with the groupthink doesn't understand some ABC-123 shyt is hilarious.

Beyond its spectacle, there is nothing there.

It's a fun film, and anyone trying to force some deep, meaningful subtext (that it horribly stumbles over) is on some smart dumb shyt.

Ah, so it seems you’re also out of your depth in the movie theater as well as the basketball court

 

[RickyDiBiase]

Unadulterated trash.

Peele had a spark when he started, now he's seemingly throwing out material to fuel the existence of a echo chamber that consists of a collective IQ that is only matched by the lowbrow state of his films' subtext. It's even more painful that there are actual Black auteurs out there (past and present) who've managed to dismantle this subject matter in more thought-provoking fashion, but nxggas wanna stay hyping up Kanye West with a camcorder.

i really don't care about that goofy shyt you speaking of. Film nikkas think everything needs to be cryptic then be wondering why they shyt is considerd obscure

If you really don’t care then why the fukk did you quote me saying a bunch of nothing? Keep your corny ass self away from my alerts box.

This was fire. Cinematography was amazing.. i was trying to piece together the Gordy thing early on but once i got it

People who are only gonna be viewing from a real surface level are gonna miss sh-t and say well that's dumb but people should understand by now that Peele is gonna have layers

 

[NormanConnors]

Loved It. Jordan is 3 for 3. And again these are Original Concepts. Not Comics, Not based on previous Books or other source Material. Sci Fi at it's finest. Loved all the themes symbolism about Black people being erased from cinema as well. He did a fantastic job with the suspense. I left the movie wanting more knowledge about the Alien so there is prequel/sequel potential. Keke and Daniel did well in the leads. The only thing I'll say is once they knew what it was. There a$$e$ should have been out of there, lol. Lowkey this reminded me a little of "Tremors" as far as the style of them being out in open land/desert. It also brought back memories of the film "Fire in the Sky" as far as UFO's.

Facts, Peele hasnt missed yet

 

[NormanConnors]

Lemme get this straight:

You a Lakers fan
You a Cowboys fan
And you stan Peele.

You're a living, breathing bandwagon.

at this hypocrisy master trying to label somebody.

I really don't think Peele's movies are that deep at all, but that's why I been able to enjoy them compared to a lot of movies these days. Us was ehhh, but Nope was a breath of fresh air.

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

I didn't mean the film was "deep" but it does make you think a little bit and a lot of movie goers don't wanna think at all

 

[wire28]

still blows my mind that peele is really 3/3

bravo

 

[FeverPitch2]

Nope is the cinematic equivalent of Mr. Morale and The Big Steppers.
One of the key elements in Peele's other movies is the pacing. Those movies engage you almost immediately and takes you through the story efficiently.
This one just meanders and takes forever to get to the damn point.
Nope also falls victim to the Achilles' Heel of suspenseful or mysterious movies.
It expends so much energy trying to conceal that it forgets to actually reveal anything.
So unless you're the types that whose brain is working overtime to figure out wtf is going on, you'll be lost.
Kaluuya's character and his acting choices didn't make much sense. He and Peele were probably going for world weary and understated, but instead the character came off as numb and barely alive.
The cameraman was right out of a comic book. The all black clothes and the overdone gravelly voice came off as unrealistic.
The script was not strong. Peele overdid it on the cursing where actual meaningful dialogue should have been.
Keke tried her best, but it just came off as "sassy Black girl" stereotype.

Let's see if Peele does better next time. Would hate to see him go out like M. Night.
