Nope

After watching Jordan Peele's *Nope* twice, I found myself captivated by its technical brilliance, particularly the cinematography. The night scenes are especially impressive, achieved through a unique 'day-for-night' technique developed by cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema. This method combined ARRI ALEXA 65 infrared and Panavision System 65mm film cameras to create stunning visuals that are both...

This film had the potential to be something wonderful, but unfortunately, it missed the mark on multiple levels. The execution of the storyline seemed off and failed to engage viewers in the way it should have. Keke Palmer's acting was criticized for being over the top and coming across as forced. The film's approach appeared to lack creative risks, with some scenes, like the alien reveal, bein...

A really well made flick! <em>'Nope'</em> comes across as a pretty unique film, even if the core premise isn't necessarily that. I enjoyed seeing it all come together, the conclusion is the most entertaining part - as it ought to be, I guess. The cinematography, meanwhile, is ace. I also dig the special effects, although oddly I feel like the main thing's effect slightly (!) dropped off a bi...

All you all that like movies like this are going to be really embarrassed once it's not hip to be racist anymore. You know, one this woke crap ends and we go back to judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin. But then isn't judging people by the content of their character "racist" today? You have to judge by skin color right? This is Peele, he makes a...

I do noi Ike horror movies as a rule, but I liked this one, so I suspect that “Nope” didn’t have enough gore or shocking surprises for the average fan of that genre. I thought the acting and writing were fine, and the title was a subtle selection. The odd subplot of the incident with Gordy the monkey reminded me of the movie Magnolia for some reason. I wonder if that film was any kind of an influ...

My first Jordan Peele film! Such a rich text and an incredibly well-crafted piece of filmmaking. Great ensemble, superb execution of its sci-fi concepts, and just a joy to exist in. It might be one of the best films I've had the pleasure of seeing in theaters and definitely one of my favorites.

Full review: open.spotify.com/episode/03ZQLC8VjUeeMGuAIbVyTq?si=b217083aa90c4457 Jordan Peele's 'Nope; comes in with some big expectations due to Peele's previous work. 'Get Out' shifted the paradigm for horror movies, taking a genre which has historically been associated with a temporary experience of thrill and adrenaline, to being social commentaries on society and raising some deeper questi...

They said it and you wont hear me disagreeing with it. Did I find it entertaining? "nope". Did I feel the story was cohesive and comprehensible, with a clear contextual message? "nope". Were characterisations relatable and relevant? "Sort of". Nope's characterisations are moderately relatable but somehow, also seem to appear oddly misconstrued. The mostly monosyllabic cowboy character, for ex...
