Why the person who got chimped in Nope had to be that person
SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE NOPE BELOW
Hello hello so I just watched it this evening and for me, one of the best parts of the film was the reveal of who got chimped by Gordy, and why it had to be that person.
From what I remembered, there are 3 flashbacks to the chimp incident (chimpcident?)- 1) the opening scene, 2) the flashback when Ricky is warming up for his show, 3) the flashback at reveals exactly what happened on set, with footage from behind the sitcom cameras too.
The film opens with us seeing those legs in jeans and one slip on shoe sticking out from behind the sofa. We don't know who has been attacked and whether they're alive or dead; two points that add tension to the final flashback reveal. When that sitcom footage shows, I found myself scanning the actors legs looking for those jeans and slip on shoes. The mom sits down on the sofa in a skirt, and that's when I realised it was the daughter; but the truth is it always had to be the daughter.
Nope has many different interpretations, but one that comes up throughout the film is the moral that fame/showbiz can be dangerous.
Mary Jo, the daughter who gets mauled by the chimp but survives is a metaphor for all those young female stars who get chewed up and mauled by fame. Women like Lindsay Lohan, or Amanda Bynes, or going further back, Drew Barrymore.

Best of 2022 Movies #3: NOPE
It seems that Jordan Peele has been rightfully linked in with the modern directors who keep managing to innovate without Realizing it.
And in his third outing with Nope Peele actually does something even he didn’t think he could do.
Cross genre spectacle viewing.
In the northern California mountains, OJ and Emerald Haywood own and operate a ranch specifically for loaning out horses for use in the entertainment industry.
But after the unexpected death of their dad Otis Sr. To make ends meet, OJ begin selling the majority of the horses to tourist trap owner, and former sitcom star Ricky Jupe Park.
Tumblr media
Jupe who was famously part of a TV show with a chimp as a child that went rogue and murdered nearly everybody on the show sees expansion on his horizon with the Haywood Ranch, all the stands in the way.
Until a mysterious entity begins to appear at night over the valley, attracting the attention of the siblings, Jupe, an electronics store employee, and a film director all seeking the Oprah shot.
The nature of spectacle runs deep within the entertainment industry, and what Jordan Peele manages to do here is not only take plate of it, but shows how much inadvertently can be done with it.
Tumblr media
And with command performances by Keke Palmer and Daniel Kaluuya, Jordan Peele, actually manages to do the unthinkable once more.
Now we wonder what he’ll do next because boy are there questions that should be answered with the one thing he has not done yet in any of his movies.
Tumblr media
Sequel City.
Tumblr media
SUM 22: Jordan Peele with only his third film brings us more questions about the industry than answers. And we couldn’t be gladder for it.

Nope was so good that it made me mildly antsy in the theater. once it gives you a good look at what the antagonistic force actually is and what it actually does you become absolutely terrified for the rest of the movie any time there’s a threat of it coming back onscreen because you’re just thinking “oh god, please don’t show me That again”

As someone who knows apparently a lot about the media spectacle around Charla Nash's attack. One of the things that happened was that her pre surgery face was shown on the Oprah Winfrey show. Oprah's interview is largely commended, but the fact is her face became a shock image, people would clip that part so you could skip the humanity element and just see her "weird gross face". In Nope Mary Jo's face is kept behind a veil. We only get a "good look" at her face when JJ starts rolling in. The main "face" we see is of herself pre attack displayed prominently on her sweatshirt. A reminder that she not only didn't always look like she does now, but was previously considered Beautiful by Hollywood standards. She was obviously not just a child actress but also probably among the first generation of "tween stars". Which meant that there was A LOT of focus on her looks at an age where kids are generally very vulnerable about their appearance. To go from being one of The Pretty People in the country if not the world to "hideously disfigured" was probably just as psychologically damaging as the attack itself.
Nope did a great job of NOT using Mary Jo's face for shock value, you saw little glimpses of the reality behind the veil, then the feeding started and the veil lifted and suddenly the truth was undeniable.
There's also a meta element of how we as the audience are likely to spend every shot on her ignoring the sweatshirt and desperately trying to peak at her face Now. We know it's wrong, but we still want to know. Her entire appearance is a metaphor for how the public treats retired child stars. We see her and are mainly shown her child self, but there are glimpses that remind you she's no longer that child.
