What were the point of ape scenes though.

why is this being asked in every thread

I didn't like how racist this movie was towards white people or how the ufos was an allegory for cops

Gordy did nothing wrong

Based on the synopsis reviews, sounds like this is a bit of a social commentary on the how Black ppl & non-Black people experience police violence captured on film.
First, Gordy the chimp reacts violently in when the aliens arrive. No one knows or understands that he senses the danger. They on only see an animal behaving badly. Keith David is killed by the alien. The alien can be seen as the police being that many most of the officers involved in these killings we’ve see are not from the communities they’re patrolling . David has direct contact with the monster in the falling debris & is killed, but that doesn’t trigger questions from anyone but the his family. Keke’s comment about not remembering the Black jockey is an analogy for how Black names are lost to history and the mainstream conciseness regardless of the contributions or impact. This echos the long held tradition in be Black community of reciting names of ancestors, deceased relatives, & those killed in our communities.
Yeun, an Asian, saw Gordy get triggered but doesn’t perceive that something was wrong that actually triggered him. Yeun even able to profit from himself from the experience of having survived the experience (Asians actually received reparations from America after WWII whereas there’s never been such compensation for any Black people for slavery or the 100 years of government sanctioned violence & discrimination thereafter). Yuen even sets up shop next to the Haywoods and intends on making money off watching the horses (the Haywoods run a horse ranch) get devoured. Yuen is seemingly profiting at the Haywoods’s expense none-the-wiser that theirs a threat to himself too in feeding the monster. The Haywoods intend on capturing the monster on film. It’s Hollywood after all, people aren’t moved by and won’t pay for what they can’t see for themselves.

Already wrong

He flashback sequence after Yeun is killed shows Yeun that day at the sound stage. There’s a white girl & man that are killed that are supposed to be his sister and dad. Yeun is likely adopted. White people have a weird proclivity for adopting foreign kids… But at the same time, Asians tend to gravitate toward more ethnically white positions of participation in systematic discrimination despite being people of color themselves who are still discriminated by that same system as well. This is signaled when Gordy first bumps the young Yeun. Gordy is trying to connect. The white people don’t see why the chimp is acting this way. But maybe the Asian kid does. But as it shows, Yeun grows up and is just like the white people. There a desired kinship and understanding that Gordy wants with Yeun and tries to symbolize, but ultimately it’s just not there.
The Haywoods proceed with trying to get the spaceship on camera but capturing quality live footage is actually hard. There’re even people who are in the business of documenting tragedy. It’s a bit exploitative in an of itself, especially when they come from outside of the community. And the spaceship seems to have the ability to turn devices off. Metaphorically, there’s a parallel here in how few killings by police actually get recoded despite measures put in place to do just that. And even then, law enforcement commonly attempts to obstruct the efforts of onlookers to record their actions or confiscate recordings. The unfurling of a cowboy balloon can be seen as an American idea of who police are. The alien consumes it and monster & cowboy are now one & the same. Kill the idea of the police being cowboys taming a dangerous & uncivilized land, and change/reform can happen. The monster can be killed.
Finally, it seems like Kaluuya is killed by the monster. But not before being captured on camera in a similar position as the Black jockey, his grandfather. People will remember the moment thanks to the photo.

I never realized this movie would be such an intelligence filter, but here we are. There are legitimate large review channels complaining about not having their hands held.
>“the chimp side plot doesn’t make sense”
It quite clearly it plays a major part of Jupe’s motivation which caused the NOPE creature to inhabit the area as it’s territory in the first place
>”What does the shoe mean, it’s so random. Were the aliens controlling what was happening on set?”
It’s literally a random chance happening of something that seems perfect, paranormal, and holy during a massacre. It distracts Jupes and prevents him from absorbing the significance of the event.
>“But the ape looked in his eyes all of a sudden at the end of the massacre, shouldn’t he have killed him?! Or was the ape being controlled by the aliens?”
What fucking little green men are these clowns on about? The main reason the chimp didn’t go apeshit on Jupes is because Jupes was obeying the predators rules. He remained small, still, and quiet. Most importantly, he never really made eye contact due to the veil of the table cloth. An impenetrable veil existed between man and nature and in this case, man misunderstood the deeper context (seemingly all the “this movie sucks” audience and Jupes). He didn’t truly create eye contact with him and on the off chance that the “fist bump” did happen, the chimp would have pieced the veil out of curiosity. After that, Jupes would have died. But, that didn’t happen and Jupes took the wrong message from it all. He believed he had some natural or supernatural connection to nature and animals and thus this folly caused him to corral and feed a fucking NOPE predator until it was pissed and he violated its rules.
Extra funny points for the veil being brought back by the mauled woman’s coming off and her violating a predator’s rules again. What bum ass luck, you get eaten alive by two predators in one life time.

Why did they make apes seem dangerous in the flashbacks but then in the current timeline make them the heroes?

This is a lot for an R rated non franchise project, either Peele fails like Shymalan at the fourth one, or he's unironically the next big thing. If his success brings interest for original R rated projects in Hollywood this might outweight any embarassing shit he said about muh wypypo in the interviews and his shitty Twilight Zone reboot, Candyman sequel and Lovecraft Country he all produced.
Thomas Peterson
Why does every recording of this cut before the internal scene ends?
Nathaniel Hernandez
it's the same recording from tiktok, there's no other recording
Samuel Williams
There should have been hypnosis in the vore scenes. It would have been so much better if the monster had hypno powers don’t ya think?
Anthony Allen
>Steven Yeun
Mudpies?
Adrian Flores
Will there be a sequel? Maybe a "Nopes"?
Zachary Gutierrez
Yeah, but Peele already did hypno shit in Get Out, so he had to change it up.
Alexander Martin
No it's not. Unless there's another one floating around tiktok besides thsi one:

Jaxon Jackson
No but really, why did he spare the kid? The transition from him going ape-shit to le wholesome reddit monkey was weird. Did he realize how scared the kid was and tried to fist bump him as a "am sorry for killing ppl pls forgive me uwu"
Jordan Roberts
Can't believe Skyline got not one but two sequels
Have you seen Skyline?
Nolan Ortiz
Yep
Jeremiah Sanders
Hopefully he gets the message when his least woke film by far makes the most money and is also critically acclaimed
Ethan Bennett
Guys, I just really think the monster should’ve had really cool hypnosis powers. I’m not really into the hard vore stuff I just want to see people hypnotized and eaten. I was hoping the entire time that the ufo would start hypnotizing them before he ate them up and it never happened :(
Blake Davis
Seconded. Could bring all the meals to one spot, then vacuum the mindless food right on up.
