How do we live with some of the shit that we’ve been forced to watch on a daily basis? Why are we so eager to immortalize the worst images that our world is capable of producing, and what kind of awful power do we lend such tragedies by sanctifying them into spectacles that can play out over and over again?
While Jordan Peele has fast become one of the most relevant and profitable of modern American filmmakers, “Nope” is the first time that he’s been afforded a budget fit for a true blockbuster spectacle, and that’s exactly what he’s created with it. But if this smart, muscular, and massively entertaining flying saucer freak-out is such an old school delight that…
Nope is my love language.
A behemoth film where Peele truly flexes his muscles as an auteur. While it certainly pays tribute to early Spielberg, it has the signature biting commentary that we’ve grown to accustomed to in his work. While at times the commentary may take a backseat to the spectacle, it remains ever-present. The irony of a movie discussing our dangerous obsession with the spectacular is that Nope itself is a god damn spectacle, one that had every ounce of my attention.
Maybe the most surprising aspect, for me at least, was how genuinely terrifying it felt. It injected fear deep into my soul which was only amplified by the booming and eerie score, reminiscent of Signs, and a cast that truly never misses a beat.
What Jaws was for 1975 and the 70s, is what it feels like Nope can be for 2022 and the rest of the 2020s. A film that simultaneously defines the genre while also reinventing it.
incredible sound design on this thing. michael wincott’s voice is like the fucking brown note. he got that super bass
do people outside of LA know that the weird fry’s ufo thing is real? that there’s a fry’s in burbank with a fake ufo crashed into the store as part of its design. like, how does that very small shot play to the rest of the world. because cheyenne did not know! that’s a gag solely for the people who’ve driven 30 minutes north of town for an old radeon graphics card or a very specific replacement remote control that won’t even end up working with their tv. it’s so nice to see myself represented in stories
will rightfully add the last half star when i see the director’s cut with the cameo E-40 deserves. everybody got choices, jordan.
Um if it's so hard to get footage of this thing then how did the cameraman of the movie get footage of it so often 🤔🤔🤔
