Part of my new series where i go through every movie on my Letterboxd and do a drawing of it! The first being nope (speed paint already posted as a short hehe)

a source of inspiration 

So yeah we went to see Jordan Peele's new horror masterpiece NOPE which apparently has a interesting meaning it is suppose to be the audiences reaction.

Now before reading any further this may contain spoilers I'm going to try to not spoil anything but you have been warned.

Now I have been enjoying Jordan Peele's horror movies for the most part. The only one I didn't really like was Us all that much it was ok but wasn't as good as Get Out. I also thought his take on Candyman was good to so I was interesting in seeing this one with its hinting at aliens type of thing.

Now I'll have to say this is a great movie. Its a lil different then what I though it was going to be but it was still great. I would have to say it was creepy AF and absolutely terrifying at certain points like the scene where OJ Haywood (Daniel Kaluuya) is in the barn and he sees the "aliens" that was a very scary moment I thought I was like "OMG! there is more then one!!" I would say this movie does have you wrapped up in its terror and mystery about what is going on for the majority of its run time. The problem I kinda had though is you loose that horror momentum near the end of the movie when the 4 characters head out capture "Jean Jacket" (that's what they call it) on film and have this kinda kinda show down with the creature that kinda turns into this I don't know some type of butterfly/kite type of thing?

I mean its a pretty good ending and everything I just feel that the movie completely switches gears when it gets up to that point like you were ratcheting up the horror for the majority of the movie and then it just feels like the tone changes.

Also another thing I didn't understand fully was the whole backstory for Steven Yeun's character of Ricky 'Jupe' Park in relationship to the stuff with the ape when he was a kid. I mean that whole thing was absolutely terrifying all on its own but I'm not sure what it has to do with the over all story? I was thinking it had something to do with the dangers of working with animals and how unpredictable they can be? but I don't know?

I know people will probably say this movie is about the Hollywood system and the act of chasing fame and all that but I do feel it is alot about family and this family's legacy in the the movie industry almost to me it seemed that the brother and sister were kind of estranged they did work together somewhat but weren't close and I feel that this event brought them back together.

The acting for this was excellent especially from the movies stars Keke Palmer (Emerald Haywood) and Daniel Kaluuya (OJ Haywood) as well as the tech guy they befriend Brandon Perea (Angel Torres) and everyone else in the cast
