NOPE is one hell of a film that is captiating to say the least. Beyond the fact that there are plenty of original concepts and unique perspectives, it is KeKe Palmer's sizzling performance that gives the story a connection to audiences. This episode of #hollywood Spotlight explores these elements as partners Tony and Woodie Lesesne take an intelligent approach to examining the merits of this latest hit from Jordan Peele. There is so much to take in with the spectacle called "Nope" but we're going to get into the nuts and bolts that make it shine. Two siblings who run a California horse ranch discover something wonderful and sinister in the skies above, while the owner of an adjacent theme park tries to profit from the mysterious, otherworldly phenomenon. There’s also a focus on animals, with horses playing a major role here. Unlike the deer in “Get Out” and the rabbits in “Us,” symbols of creatures being preyed upon, Peele reverses the power dynamic by turning into prey the most dangerous predator of all. There’s also the unusual use of an inanimate object; in “Us” it was scissors, in “Nope” it’s a fake horse and those weird, swaying air-filled things every used car dealer seems to have. #hollywood #nope #jordanpeele www.infocustv.online
