The party line about NopeMovie, Jordan Peele’s latest cipher-laden horror story, is that it’s a story about spectacles.
) run the family business, training horses for film and TV productions. The company is middling, in spite of its legendary roots: Emerald and OJ descend from the man featured in the first moving image, a jockey riding a horse, which is based on the real life moving image. To make ends meet, OJ sells horses to Ricky “Jupe” Park , a former child star who now runs a Western-themed amusement park called Jupiter’s Claim nearby.
Upon initial viewing, the ending feels somewhat muted. Humanity triumphs over the spectacle, yes, but this catastrophic event is contained to this little part of the world. Emerald kills the monster on her own, then reunites with OJ. It feels abrupt, almost. By the time it’s all over, the spectacle feels empty.
OJ learns early on that the monster won’t kill you if you don’t look at it. For the rest of the film, he’s able to not look away, which is how he survives where others don’t. There’s an idea that looking too much at a spectacle destroys you. On that symbolic note, that’s also perhaps why the alien transforms into such a beautiful creature by the end. It wants to be seen and looked at. Only then can it survive and grow into a more beautiful and deadly version of itself.
