If you don’t look, you can’t feed the beast. discovers that if he looks down, instead of directly at it, the creature moves right along. In “Nope,” it’s key that the way to not be eaten by the monster is to not look at it. 6 playing over and over and over again, complete with their own chyron and special segment on cable news. We’re inundated with bad news day in and day out, in the social media age, we can’t look away.

In reality, the whole movie is about spectacle, and our monetization of spectacle. Like with Peele’s other films, “Nope” has a larger thematic undercurrent throughout - it’s not just about a UFO encounter. It had been hiding in the cloud and now it looks like a cloud as it disintegrates and falls towards earth.Īnd what’s more – Emerald got her photographic evidence and, even better, OJ survived (and so did his horse, Lucky). Finally, the saucer monster absorbs the balloon and the balloon pops, destroying the monster.
And all the while Emerald is still trying to get her Oprah shot, this time using the hand-cranked photo op at the Jupiter’s Claim well. Recalling the balloon that popped and set off Gordy on the set of the sitcom, the saucer monster ingests the giant balloon. She goes to Jupiter’s Claim and unties the massive balloon version of Kid Sheriff that sits, hovering over the park. (While some have complained about the creature design, it’s some of the most creative, outside-the-box design work in recent memory.) Fearing that the saucer creature has killed her brother, Emerald makes a desperate escape. The monster, now fully enraged, goes after OJ, unfurling itself like some giant, beautiful undersea creature. But on its inaugural performance, the saucer shows up early and instead of taking the horse, the saucer hoovers up Jupe, his family and everybody in the hastily built arena, including one of Jupe’s old costars, her face now mangled from the chimpanzee attack. It’s become so regular that he’s decided to build an entire show out of it. And that Jupe has sent horses out (the horses he bought from OJ), as a sacrifice to the saucer. It turns out that Jupe has had his own experience with the sinister force in their valley. But it doesn’t matter, because Jupe has his next big thing – the Star Lasso Experience. In a secret room in his office, Jupe has a treasure trove of “Gordy’s Home” memorabilia, including the bloody shoe of one of his cast members’, which during the attack sat perfectly upright.Īll of this led Jupe to a life of seeking fame and attention based on the tragedy he witnessed, which includes him presiding over Jupiter’s Claim, which seems to be connected to his breakout role, in a movie called “Kid Sheriff.” (In the park there’s a well that takes a photograph that emulates the poster for “Kid Sheriff.”) There’s a poster on the wall of his office advertising a reality show filmed at Jupiter’s Claim about Jupe and his family. And it scars Jupe for life, even though, when asked about it, he refers Emerald to the “Saturday Night Live” sketch that was made about the incident (“Chris goddamn Kattan” played Gordy). He beats some of the cast members to death and chews off another cast member’s face. One day on set they were filming a scene involving Gordy’s birthday party a balloon pops and sends Gordy into a frenzy. Let us briefly take a moment to go back, to the 1990s, when Jupe was still a kid and starring in a sitcom called “Gordy’s Home.” It was a high concept, brightly lit primetime trifle, about a family and their pet chimpanzee named Gordy. ‘Nope’ Writer/Director Jordan Peele on the Personal Nature of Steven Yeun’s Character: ‘They’re All Very Much Me’ Jupiter’s Claim, Claimed (Little by little OJ has been selling off horses to Jupiter’s Claim, the theme park next door run by former child actor Ricky “Jupe” Park.”) Of course, getting footage of their visitor proves to be increasingly difficult and, given the saucer’s propensity for grabbing the ranch’s horses in a dusty whirlwind, very dangerous. They could turn their fortunes around and save the ranch. When he tells Emerald about it, she is both terrified and sees an opportunity they could capture it on camera unequivocally (they want “the Oprah shot”), they could make a lot of money. And could Emerald and OJ’s father’s death be somehow linked to the saucer? (The authorities claimed that it was debris from a prop plane that killed him a quarter was lodged in his skull. He spots a large, disc-shaped object hiding in a cloud. OJ starts to notice things happening at the ranch.
