What was this ??
Well, errrr. I have no idea what the director was trying to achieve with this film .
What did the monkey going berserk have to do with anything??. The first 5 minutes looked promising but it was a slow burn after that. Why didn't the whole area get flooded with army personal and security services. Why would the flying saucer be so interested in horses ?? What was the show about with the horse in the glass box, where was it supposed to be going. The storyline seemed all over the place. Also why would you have a well that took photos.....bizarre. The ending could have been in Fallout 4 . A different film, but one that was lost on me unfortunately 😔 - nyan-13427 - 3 June 2024
A new tyoe of horror movie
"Nope," directed by Jordan Peele, follows OJ, the brother of the Haywood family, who struggles to come to terms with his father's death while managing their ranch on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Starting with the death of his father, he is engulfed in the horror of a mysterious flying object.
Personally, I find "Nope" to be a refreshing take on the horror genre, offering a unique experience unlike any other. Rather than relying on gratuitous gore and violence, the film creates a chilling atmosphere that we can't take our eyes off for a moment. Jordan Peele is famous as one of the pioneering directors, and I am also impressed by his camera work. It fosters fear of the UFO and has the effect of keeping the storyline in the future.
One aspect I appreciate is the film's exploration of the relationship between what is seen and what is believed. OJ and his sister's reckless pursuit of capturing footage of the UFO reflects a modern obsession with documenting every moment, regardless of the risks involved.
Furthermore, "Nope" delves into the historical and societal burdens faced by black communities in the United States, shedding light on the injustices they endure. However, it also transcends race to explore broader themes of human ego and folly.
In conclusion, "Nope" offers a fresh and thought-provoking take on the horror genre, making it a must-watch for anyone seeking a new type of horror experience.
