‘Nope’ Review: The movie has no ghosts, but it’s the best sci-fi horror movie of the year

Q: Would you be afraid of the sky? Ask another way, what about a cloud in the sky that never moves?

To put it another way, what about a cloud over your farm that never moves and stays in one form for decades watching you?

A super popular sitcom in which the animal performer chimpanzee has always been the group’s favorite, but in the episode of a birthday.

The chimpanzee suddenly had a change of temperament, killing and bloodying the actors, while the scene was bizarrely standing on a shoe.

This is the scene of this year’s best sci-fi horror film ‘Nope’, without a single ghost, but makes people feel a creepy horror.

Director Jordan Peele has filmed ‘Get Out’ and ‘Us’.

He has a record of using a small-budget black horror film to butcher the list of the 90th Academy Awards that year.

The Oscars have an invisible rule that horror films are almost irrelevant to major awards. But ‘Get Out’ was not only a big Oscar hit that year, it was also nominated for two hardcore awards, Best Director and Best Picture, and finally took home the Best Original Screenplay award.

Jordan Peele’s horror films usually have no ghosts in them, but will alienate the everyday for you to see. As a talented director, he only engages in black horror films and then shoots to the extreme in this field.

The first impression many people have of his films is that they are really dark. Black light black actors, often sometimes can not see where.

The alienation of the black body by white people is written about in ‘Get Out’ and I praise your body as a form of discrimination.

In ‘Us’ all clones are alienated, clones awaken to self-awareness, and the U.S. government spies on humanity.

White people, clones have been said, this time Jordan Peele finally put the claws to aliens.

The following content involves slight spoilers, please watch with caution.

A remote farm in the United States, the protagonist family to domesticate horses for a living. The horses that appear in the movie are trained by their family, even this shot in the history of the film is also used their family’s horses.

Originally they rode a good horse, suddenly the sky began to fall coins and keys, bam, the protagonist’s old man was hard smashed to death.

At the time of death, the protagonist’s old man rode the horse with a key poked in the butt.

The death was inexplicable, and there was not even any official word, the official word was that there just happened to be a plane passing over your house. Then it just so happened that the plane threw itself high into the air and you just so happened to be unlucky enough to hang.

But there was no plane passing by that day. After the death of my father, the family business was in decline and could not be sustained.

And to catch up with the development of Hollywood special effects, the use of real horses less and less, real horses which have special effects to listen to.

Finally the protagonist had to sell the horses and family property, but this is still very poor. One day the horses suddenly riot, the protagonist followed the direction of the horse to find, but accidentally saw the UFO.

They found out by setting up surveillance that the cloud over their house hadn’t moved at all!

No one would pay special attention to a cloud, but surveillance records show that it held a pose for several days in a row, how long has it been there? No one knows, it may have existed for decades.

A cloud floated in the sky for decades, without moving, and it seems that his old man was killed by this thing. It has killed how many people also no one knows.

The place doesn’t even show up on Google Maps, it’s just a blur. That cloud in the sky seems to be a bunker for an alien civilization, and there’s an alien creature that’s been assassinating humans.

All he has to do is open his mouthpiece and he can instantly suck up everyone and then spit out what he can’t digest, like coins and keys.

At that time, the protagonist’s father was spit out the foreign body smashed to death, so big alien creatures, spitting a bone can kill humans.

Humans are too small in front of him. Normal people see the first reaction is to run away, has died an old man, can not be a family ride in it.

But the protagonist is different, he has to find a way to shoot this thing down. Because he is too poor, there is nothing more terrible than poverty.

As long as he shot the real face of the alien can be on Oprah’s stage, from then on overnight riches to the top of life.

So he can not go, not only can not go but also to shoot down, not only to shoot down, but also to tame the alien creatures.

He was convinced that he was a horse trainer, that he could tame horses, and that he could tame UFOs. sounds pretty implausible, doesn’t it?

He quickly summarized the characteristics of UFOs through observation: First, do not look directly into each other’s eyes, once you see each other’s eyes, you will be caught. Second, the place where the UFO appears will lose power.

With these two characteristics, he opened a UFO trapping operation.

First, buy a lot of inflatable dolls, the kind that sway in the wind in front of the mall.

Inflatable dolls are laid on the planned road, and as soon as the alien passes by, the dolls in this place will fall down and very visually know where the alien is now.

Second, UFOs hate ribbons and balloons because they are indigestible and can choke on their own esophagus.

Third, they need to photograph this process of UFO feeding, to use horses as bait.

Most people have read horror stories about UFOs as children, but this is the first time I’ve seen a protagonist try to tame the hunt for an alien creature.

The main group of characters are the male tamer, the male sister, the little brother who installed the surveillance, and they even hired a professional cinematographer. The other party has a hand-cranked film camera, which can continue to shoot in the event of a power failure.

A sensational moment of taming UFOs has begun.

The story of ‘Nope’ is very simple, but the director is very good at playing with concepts. For example, the relationship between eyes and direct vision, horses will riot if they see themselves through the ball of light. If humans look directly at UFOs they will be captured.

UFOs cannot identify exactly where humans are, but they can identify exactly what humans are looking at. There is a price to pay for humans coveting alien beings they shouldn’t, but then humans use this characteristic to kill back.

Humans are obsessed with fear and hunting, which is what gives UFOs the opportunity to appear. The camera, the human eye, and the monster’s mouthparts all look like a window into a direct view.

This film is one of those films that are very polarizing, with many good reviews and many bad reviews. The haters hate it to death, the early part is very boring, and if you hold to watch a horror film will feel inexplicable.

The film is nothing directly scary footage, the prelude is too long. Those who do not go in will feel unaware of what is going on.

But the people who like it like to die, the horror of this film is the kind of run-of-the-mill horror, the more you think about the more horrible.

You may forget a lot of the plot after watching it, but you will remember the shoe that somehow stood up. Remember the sudden rain of blood from the sky that drenched the whole house.

Remember the huge camera in the well, the heroine’s sister roared while shooting down the whole process of UFO feeding.

If you like to savor there are many things that can be elaborated, and various metaphors and conformity inside have been repeatedly analyzed.

And a lot of fan film stems, such as the main character’s career design is a part of the film industry, specializing in stunt images in waiter films.

The opening tribute to ‘Luck’, the black sister on a motorcycle tribute to ‘Akira’.

Filmmakers even if they die to capture the most precious images. So fans watch the effect doubled, if the general audience may find, on this, no more?

But no matter what kind of viewer you are, I’m sure you’ll go look at that cloud outside your own window after you’ve watched it. Has it been stuck there for a long time?
