Really liked this when I watched it cinema
But my second viewing at him I LOVED this s***
Solidified it for me as my fav Peele film
when they showed the horse on the film studio set i thought it was going to be a adult film because the lady was in a robe. i was like “ i know films are more edgey but i don’t think he can do this. horse trainers - i don’t think would be cool with this 😳”
and also the cameraman- cinematographer sounded really like he was about that life
man I got the worst attention span ever
I lliked it but I zoned out near the end lol
ngl got no idea wtf they were doing with the inflatable things or why theres a camera inside a well pointing to the sky or what the monkey s*** had to do with anything
you need to keep your phone away from your body brother
Really liked this movie Peele is still leveling up on a technical level and I love how hard they went on such strange far out ideas. Characters/acting were really great too
watched 2/3 on my laptop then paused it and went to watch it in IMAX with the fam
would love to see how this movie evolved over time, pretty sure an early rumor was the lead being a walmart electronics employee

how did that turn out? did they like it? you get bored? are you high right now? do you ever get nervous
sounds like something i would do. didn't see it in imax tho unfortunately. still enjoyed it
I took as a way to show he never faced his trauma
The same way he let people pay 50 grand to stay in his secret room of Gordy memorabilia or wants people to pay to see him exploit the alien monster
He can’t even talk about it without filtering it through a comedy sketch for a tv show that made fun/made content out his own traumatic experience
But as he’s recounting the sketch he can’t help but remember what actually happened and how he felt
Was there any other point to the whole chimp story line or not?

I think just the connection to both
1. exploiting/using an animal for entertainment.
Which Jupe then grew up to do again.
OJ also didn’t like that and with his history with horses, knew that you have to enter an agreement to tame the animal and offer it respect. Which he did at the end as he was looking at the alien, but to tame it and enter that taming agreement instead of gawking at it
2. The fact that the tragedy of the monkey attack became a spectacle for the public to be obsessed with. SNL and Mad Magazine making sketches, people paying to stay in the prop room etc
Gordy murdered his entire family yet he has the MAD cover framed still and keeps everything behind it. He really pimped his pain and trauma.
I thought the inclusion of MAD and the SNL retelling were just homage to Peele’s sketch days but it connects to the movie’s themes

It's both
It's both
I wouldn’t call it a homage. The clip with Bobby Lee shows he’s still f***ed up about that time in his career
