Nope Has Close Encounters with Symbolism and Something Else?

Multiple Blue Rings

Nope? More like eh… Make way everyone, because Jordan Peele has returned, and there’s no way you can predict what he’s bringing to the table.

After the chilling restraint of Get Out, he went all in on batshit symbolism for Us, and with Nope he’s…well, kudos to him for keeping the plot under wraps, but even if you know the bare bones, with Peele, you just have to be there. On the biggest screen possible.

Nope may revolve around some close encounters, but it has far more in common with the lean mean westerns of the 70s than with the big budget spectacles we’ve come to expect when aliens get involved.

The main question is, what happens when a conquering nation has conquered everything? According to Nope, you switch it up and capture everything.

Nope refuses to sentimentalize too much about just why the siblings, and eventually, a tech guy named Angel (Brandon Perea, hopefully kicking off a long big screen career), risk their lives to get photo or video evidence of what’s happening.

Nope Has Close Encounters with Symbolism and Something Else?

Blue Rings

OJ and Keke are fighting for their land, but they’re also up against a greater force, and triumphing will allow them to leave their footprint behind, thus granting them money and fame – everything left to desire in a world that offers fewer and fewer options to survive, let alone a chance to be immortalized.

The journey is somewhat incoherent and not exactly scary.
