Nope

Nope is about a genuinely scary encounter with something that should be too big, too frightening, too strange to really exist, says Tom Einarsson.

After all, the most impressive thing about Nope is that it is a genuinely good horror movie about an Unidentified Flying Object. Nothing in the film is done for cheap sentimentality or shock factor, but rather serves to pepper the plot with added uncanniness so that its world becomes increasingly unnerving and often downright grotesque. In an effort to identify the Unidentified Flying Object, Em and OJ hatch a plan to film the unfilmable by setting up cameras and elaborate traps. Firstly (and here I have to spoil at least a little), the UFO disables all electronics when it approaches. But the struggling Hollywood horse ranch is beset by strange occurrences: power outages, strange noises and sightings of what OJ comes to believe is a UFO. Seldom do horror films manage to both be loaded with coherent symbolism and frightening sequences so hair-raising that you will be afraid to look up at the sky for the foreseeable future.

Today we take a look at Jordan Peele's NOPE (2022 15 2h10m) Starring Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yuen, Michael Wincott, Brandon Perea, Wrenn Schmidt, ...

NOPE is one of those movies, it tries for modern arthouse, it tries to improve on its predecessors, it tries for shock value disguised as horror but It fails on all three counts. Hoyte Van Hoytema handled the cinematography and I’ll be honest, he did a great job, having filmed the likes of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008), DUNKIRK (2017) and one of my personal favourite movies of all time, INTERSTELLAR (2014), you can see his quality work through the sweeping shots of the Agua Dulce desert in northern Los Angeles County using 65mm film in IMAX, making it the first horror (if you can call this that) of its kind to be shot this way. There were also sections of this movie that made no sense, such as a whole flashback of backstory featuring a TV chimp that loses his shit and (if you’ll excuse the pun) goes ape on his handlers during the taping of a TV show that he is part of. Realising that his business is dying he decides inexplicably to capture the UFO on film and be the first to have genuine proof of extraterrestrial life. It harkens back to the kind of sci-fi that made SIGNS (2002) or WAR OF THE WORLDS (1953) great films and tries for the sort of awesome tension that these films expertly created. Given the hype and secrecy of its release and the limited trailers and media, I expected to sit down to a bloody great sci-fi horror.

In what can be easily brushed off as a straightforward alien film where the humans finally come on top, it's the 'whys' and 'hows' that define Nope and ...

On the whole, Nope is definitely not on par with the filmmaker's first two films when it comes to its well-roundedness, the finesse with its storytelling abilities and the big twists that completely change the way the film has been viewed. As a classic example of history forgetting what shouldn't be forgotten - and in this case, the erasure of the contributions of people of colour to the evolution of filmmaking - there's no record of the black jockey who rode the horse and Nope gives it a sense of identification. Peele also cited the pandemic and the lockdown as the inspiration for how his protagonists get stuck in an inescapable grim situation and it shows. In what can be easily brushed off as a straightforward alien film where the humans finally come on top, it's the 'whys' and 'hows' that define Nope and makes it an intriguing watch. While it might not match with his previous hits when it comes to narratory choices or storytelling excellence, it still packs a punch thanks to the underlying themes and interpretations that have become a much-welcomed trope in this filmmaker's films. When they finally get to know that there is more to it than meets the eye, they devise a method to track the creature and put an end to its rampage.

HOLLYWOOD—Jordan Peele, he has been coined the new face of horror, but I beg to differ. His “Get Out” was something never seen before, but I'll be honest ...

This is there movie and they are the heart and soul of it. For starters, I think Daniel Kaluuya is a phenomenal in this flick he really carries the bulk of the drama and intensity that slowly, but surely starts to build as the narrative pushes. No, but Peele toys with that notion of what people will do to earn their big break, which includes trying to capture this alien that has been hiding in plain sight for a period of time that strikes when you least know it, particularly looking directly at it.

We review the latest 'horror' film by Jordan Peele, Nope, in 10 words. Spoiler alert: This is his best production yet.

As I left the theatre, I felt a darkly blossoming mix of disappointment and dread that washed over me. Peele is more than obliging to this section of the audience. (Keith David) from a coin that mysteriously falls from the sky that rips his face almost in half, a UFO enters the narrative and menaces the area. The trial of images and experience was happening. Nope is the starkest and sharpest realisation of it yet. Across from them – in the vast, barren expanse of Agua Dulce, California – is Jupiter’s Claim, a Western-styled theme park, run by Jupe (Steven Yuen) who, as a child, starred in the fictitious sitcom Gordy’s Home. Every aspect of the film is charged with a multivalent power. Even before the film started, even as the trailers played, I sat in the theatre expecting to be ‘scared’ by the ‘horror’ film that was to come. The legacy of the ranch is storied and foundational: It’s alleged that the first ‘film’ or series of moving images was of a Black jockey riding a horse. The Haywoods claim that they are descendants of said jockey. Not the audience and most definitely not the cultural matrix within which it exists and perpetuates the prejudices of the status quo. His use of the medium is interrogatory – it spares no one and nothing.

Peele's new sci-fi spectacle is a fittingly fresh self-referential take on the classic UFO summer event film, ambitiously crammed with surprises.

The broader appeal of Nope is the way it morphs as a film — the suspense and obfuscation builds and peaks in the middle, at the point where the bloodcurdling significance of the spooky soundtrack suddenly becomes clear. Nope is a comparatively abstract name referring to OJ Haywood’s amusing reaction to the freaky phenomenon. With its strange name, cryptic title cards and constant back and forth between the main and subplots, Nope is pretty all over the place. The intentional irony to Peele’s exploration of morbid spectacle in society is that his films are horrifically transfixing and grand spectacles themselves. Though Nope is set up as a quintessential American UFO flick, it also develops the genre by poking fun at classic tropes. It’s the chimpanzee’s wildness that fascinated fans of Gordy’s Home, and a morbid curiosity that makes it impossible to look away from the gruesome carnage Gordy eventually unleashed. The film was nearly called Little Green Men, a title sending up the dated conception of aliens in cinema. Jupe has minimal involvement in the main plot; his purpose is to contextualise it and show how a story about a UFO relates to the real world. “I had this idea of making the Great American UFO movie, and not only a flying saucer horror film, but really, the quintessential one. The film begins by introducing us to Jupe, a child star in a comically cheesy 90s sitcom called Gordy’s Home about a family who live with a pet chimp (Gordy). Whatever you expect from Peele’s films, you will always be surprised, in part because he keeps the nature of his movies close to the chest during their marketing. What begins as an opportunistic attempt to cash in on the demand for conspiracy footage escalates into a terrifying unpredictable life or death survival thriller.

How are we, the audience, as we gape and thrill to see it, any different from Jupe’s visitors, with their perverse interest in the horror he experienced as a child? Not too generous, though: Much of Nope’s terror and brutality comes in the reminder that we are deluding ourselves by imagining that all things can be made subject to our will. The risks that those who make art, even low art, take in pursuit of it, is a running motif: Michael Wincott ( [Get Out](https://www.flickfilosopher.com/2017/03/get-movie-review-yes-white-people.html). Their mere presence as protagonists here is an unspoken rebuke to the erasure of Black horsemen and women in movies about the American West, and of Black artists in the history of film itself. The Haywoods and Jupe separately hatch the notion to taunt whatever it is, to draw it to them and harness the spectacle of it. He left TV work as a kid after a bizarre, violent incident on the set of the sitcom he starred in that left him traumatized; the notoriety of it draws visitors to his little theme park even decades later.

So, get to the cinema, if you can, to see Nope before it flies off to smaller screens. When the image jumps to fill that huge screen, form floor to ceiling, it’s something truly special, and truly draws you into the story. If you’re lucky enough to be able to see it in a dual laser IMAX location, you’ll be able to enjoy the 12-channel sound with height speakers, which takes full advantage of the mix. It’s a great way to transition from one aspect ratio to another and helps sell the emotion of that moment.” I felt compelled to do so as while the former has a 1.90:1 aspect ratio screen, the latter is the only screen in the county that can display the movie in what IMAX’s head of post-production, Bruce Markoe, refers to as the “hero” format – as in the ultimate version of the movie that the director would want you to see it in – namely the full frame 1.43:1 aspect ratio. As Markoe explained to me in an interview, IMAX was the perfect format for a movie such as Nope.

Nope visual effects supervisor Guillaume Rocheron breaks down the Jordan Peele movie's visual effects, from the obvious to the invisible.

“There’s something in the eyes and in the way the head turns and it’s very subtle acting,” Rocheron said. “We kind of really push the immersion as much as we can,” Rocheron said. “Any time you see the sky in the movie and it’s a lot of time in the movie, it’s never real,” he said. “If someone turns up the lights, it’s going to take you a few seconds to see something at night for your eyes to adjust,” Rocheron said. And we all went to the location when we were prepping the film and we get there, turn off all the lights, all the cars, everything off and you’re in complete darkness in the middle of that valley. “What we wanted to do to get our audience to really be immersed in it was that we wanted to showcase the nights the way the human eyes see at night, not the way film cameras see at night. And we shot the movie in California in the summer, when you don’t get a lot of clouds.” “We have this great idea of this creature and this flying saucer, but really what is exciting is how you reveal it, how you stage what you see and how you see it,” Rocheron said. And then obviously we simulated the clouds then you simulate all this so you get something realistic, and then we rendered them, because they needed to fit perfectly into the photography every time,” Rocheron said. “It’s in its most territorial behavior looks at all the characters and it spits out the dust from the hole and we call that the ‘King Kong’ moment,” Rocheron said. “Very quickly we landed on this idea of kind of like minimalism in the design.” Rocheron said that this meant being “very spare with details, that everything has a function,” and also creating an alien design language – that Jean Jacket was a “creature of the winds.” While Rocheron referred to the creature as an alien during our interview, he reached back out via email to say that he thought it was maybe a terrestrial creature that had been around, maybe forever. “It’s one thing to come up with a design, but the form serves the function,” Rocheron explained.

In a lot of ways, the movie became a response to that first film.” Even the confrontation with the alien force in the film serves as a reflection of mankind’s fixation with spectacles. Another driving force in the Nope concept is the marginalisation of black talent in film history. They would be the first to capture undeniable proof of alien existence on film. After starring in Get Out, the actor returns to work with Peele, sustaining a pairing that may become as dependable as Martin Scorsese’s with Leonardo DiCaprio, or Tim Burton’s with Johnny Depp. In it, he again subverts classic horror tropes to deliver scathing social commentary, but it does break new ground for Peele, who has taken a stride into science fiction to make an atypical alien film that provides plenty of chills and food for thought — even if it is somewhat slack in its writing.

The crash-landing of "Nope" on Peacock is essentially not a question of if, but a question of when, and we can't wait to find out when it happens. "Nope" tells the story of sibling horse trainer duo OJ (Daniel Kaluuya) and Emerald (Keke Palmer) as they try to do something nobody has ever done before: capture proof that aliens are real.

While renting movies digitally is a fun experience, especially for a movie as unique and thrilling as "Nope," you are going to wait a little while longer to actually own a copy of the movie. However, it probably won't be long before that answer turns into a "yep," as many signs point to the fact that it will arrive on one specific streaming service.

Jupe thought he could tame the predator to do his bidding to put on a show, and he paid the price. The chimp is another metaphor for humankind’s attempt to tame a wild animal for the sake of a Hollywood product. Perhaps—and this is just a theory—he believed since the chimp didn’t kill him, he was special. The monster attacks again, and Em and OJ run for their lives. Of course, both Antlers and his camera get eaten, and the footage is lost. OJ lures the monster right into the line of Antlers’ camera, and successfully does a “run” on camera, just like his ancestor once did on Animal Locomotion. The reporter crashes when the power dies, and OJ goes to check on him, putting himself in danger. Despite their reluctance, OJ convinces Angel and Em to try one more time to catch the monster on screen. With convincing from his sister Em, the siblings decide to capture footage of the UFO and sell it to make money to save the ranch. Brother and sister attempt to catch evidence on film of UFOs in the area, and in the process get mixed up in some pretty messed up situations. (OJ is told the coin came from an airplane.) OJ inherits the ranch, and takes over the family business of raising, training, and supervising horses for Hollywood film and TV productions. The movie opens in 1998, on the set of a fictional sitcom called Gordy’s Home, which centered on a family and their adopted pet chimp.
