So, what was the deal with that Gordy's Home! scene in Nope? There's probably enough embedded in the first two acts that viewers wouldn't even think to notice the first time around that returning customers can find something new and different every single time.īut for now, this is what the centerpiece of Nope is-and how the seemingly-tangential storyline of Ricky "Jupe" Park (played wonderfully as an adult by Steven Yeun) is the key to unlocking the whole film.
#KILLER MOKEY MOVIE#
Peele's films being foreshadowing treasure troves upon rewatch is almost his trademark, and I plan on seeing this movie several more times in the near future. I'd like to say up front that at this time I've only seen Nope once. Any warning signs along the way can be either misinterpreted or dismissed-because the warm glow of the dollar can be too enticing.
We see something spectacular, and we want to exploit it. And it's ultimately a reflection on our greed. Those are also movies with fascinating spectacles at their core, visual feasts that, you guessed it, end poorly. "I was inspired by films like King Kong and Jurassic Park that really deal with the human addiction to spectacle and the presentation and monetization of that," he told the Associated Press. The very key to understanding Nope comes from something that Peele himself has made abundantly clear during the press tour in the lead-up to his movie's release we're addicted to spectacle, to the point where many of us are willing to overlook warning signs that may come as part of the package. And that spectacle is what unlocks the film's mysteries. But this is a Jordan Peele movie, and while you're getting something new from him just on the surface level-blockbuster-level horror and spectacle-there's far more happening just a bit beneath the surface. If you just want to watch Nope for the Spielberg-ian spectacle of it all (and be my guest if that's your jam), you'll still come away quite pleased. We even get an outsider who joins the party (Michael Wincott's deep-voiced cinematographer Antlers Holst is a clear nod to the cryptic sea legs of Jaws' Quint) just to make it clear that our heroes aren't crazy-this is a big deal. It's clear as day Peele, after crafting a couple stories that reveled in smaller-scale, interpersonal tension, wanted to make something that went bigger think of Nope as his version of Jaws in the sky, complete with a duo of high and low energy that balances each other out leading the way (Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer are our new version of Roy Scheider and Richard Dreyfuss). If you want it to be, it can just be that simple.
