is this a good crowd movie
feel like peele knows how to work a big audience and make showings really fun
Easily. Seeing it in a big theater with a packed crowd is best
i feel like yall are reading too much into this movie
There’s no such thing tho. Movies/art is subjective.
could the blue shoe pointing upwards like that during the Gordy Massacre mean something more? I really dont think the shoe means anything,its more about how Ricky was probably thinking about preserving the shoe more then he was thinking about the lives of his co-stars. We think these people are a big happy family,when in reality,he doesn't even know these people,Ricky just knew the show and he knew Gordy more then anyone of his cast members
Exactly,animals are suppose to be able to be tamed,but what happens when everything goes off the rails? Its like the movie was asking "when everything goes wrong,do you keep filming/watching?
yup and even the thought of “let’s provoke this UFO to chase us so we can film it” is a crazy idea within itself, like I personally would be on the first thing smoking up outta there. OJ was too cool about it like “nah we got s\*\*\* to do, horses to feed” lmao
Wait am I the only person that picked up on the Kill Bill vibes? I haven’t seen anyone tweet that either
i definitely felt quentin influence, but any time i hear western music in a non-western movie i’m gonna think of quentin lol

he was worried about making ends meat wasn't really about the Alien it was about what the Alien could provide. Oj was looking at that s\*\*\* like a job,but a risky job. Everyone else besides Emerald and OJ were actually obsessed with Aliens,they just wanted to make their money

the music definitely played a role but just the whole traumatizing gory backstory of Ricky resembled Lucy Lu character’s backstory and then showing them as an adult right after with the western music playing.
Easily
Great, couldn’t take Peele going out with another miss like that. Nothing but W’s from now on
drive in or imax
both
but for real imax is probably worth it. Drive in would be cool though, I love seeing horror/sci fi in drive ins.
But yeah they definitely all connect because Jordan Peele main message is showing the real monster is humans. I mean we kept watching all these humans keep provoking the UFO as if it’s a toy that you can make do tricks. Same thing with Gordy the monkey. Same thing with owning the horses. When you think about it the idea of owning horses to use for races and to do tricks is actually a really f\*\*\*ed up concept that lowkey connects to slavery in its own way. We own these animals to make em do what we want and make money off them rather than just letting em run free in the wilderness
All true I just wish it would have hit harder because I got this message but feel like he didn’t make it slap hard enough

Yeah was thinking drive in just bc it would be cool to say I saw it first time in that setting if it ends up being a classic
Second watch might be imax though

Wait is there a movie where the story of slavery is depicted through animals and humans?
watched it at some indie theatre s*** audio could barley hear anything plus I was buzzed lol s*** was hard to follow gotta re watch it
still probably 3/3 for peele tho
So this is more of a crowd-pleaser than people initially thought?
Mainstream audiences might be more mixed as typical with horror movies. The casual crowd expects jumpscares every 5 seconds if it’s a horror and this is more of a thinker and requires patience. But I see it ending on the higher side because it has a satisfying ending and blockbuster feeling.
