![]() The well spits out what look like large polaroid pictures.Įventually, the beast emerges and consumes the massive floating cowboy. In the flick's final minutes, she grabs coins scattered on the ground, loads up the machine and snaps multiple pictures of the sky. She brilliantly comes up with the idea to injure the beast by releasing a giant inflatable cowboy into the sky.Įarlier in the film, Emerald and OJ visited Jupiter's Claim and Emerald photo-bombed some strangers by sticking her head into a well that contains a camera. In an emotional scene, we realize that OJ is going to help her by fixing his eyes on the beast, luring it toward himself.Įmerald's bike powers up and she drives to the theme park, Jupiter's Claim. How does Emerald defeat the creature?Įmerald gets to the TMZ guy's bike, but the creature (which has assumed its new form) is too close to her for it to work. To me, it almost looks like a flower - well, if that flower had a terrifying, pulsing green mouth. In the final scenes of the film, the creature transforms into something more immense and billowy. We get to know the creature in the sky as a white, disc-shaped animal that could reasonably be mistaken for an alien spacecraft from a distance. (Another possible reason he survived: The creature probably didn't like the taste of wire.) What is the thing in the sky? The beast tries to suck him up, but the fencing on the ground stays put, and Angel comes barreling back down to the ground. Once Holst and his camera become alien food, Angel wraps himself in barbed wire fencing to avoid a similar fate. ![]() His role during the final showdown involves helping Holst. Yes, Angel survives the wrath of the beast. Does Angel (from Fry's Electronics) live? Holst points his camera at the creature, and then it swallows him. However, it appears the self-absorbed artist can't resist getting one more shot. He mutters something cryptic about them not deserving the impossible and takes off with his camera. Holst finally snags the money shot that OJ and Emerald have been after. What does the cinematographer Antlers Holst say to Angel? That's when OJ unleashes the flag-parachute invention, which gets the beast to back off a little and buys him time to take shelter. The creature vacuums up the TMZ rep and starts to pursue OJ. However, the guy's helmet is reflective - just like the mirror that spooks OJ's horse at the start of the film - and OJ realizes he has no choice but to get out of there. He's alive but in bad shape, and OJ approaches him to help. The beast lurking above powers down his bike and sends him flying. The TMZ guy proceeds to drive off in what proves to be an unfortunate direction. News has already started to get out about the incident at Jupiter's Claim, and he's poking around for answers. Emerald speaks to the man - whose identity is masked by a helmet - and realizes he's from TMZ. When the gang's plan is underway, a stranger pulls up to the ranch on a bike. He's carrying a string of triangular flags attached to a parachute, and that comes in handy later when a stranger shows up. Once they're ready to invite the beast back, OJ starts roaming around on a horse. They also know that they need to avoid looking at the beast and that it doesn't like to consume inanimate objects. When those fall down, it's a sign that the creature is close by. They also deck out the area with tons of inflatable tube men. They team up with cinematographer Antlers Holst, who has a non-electrical film camera (the beast produces an "anti-electric field" that renders things like digital cameras useless). (I don't know about them, but the sight of blood rain would have signaled the end of the road for me). OJ and Emerald are set on getting proof (the "Oprah shot") of the extraterrestrial creature in the sky, even after it snacks on Ricky "Jupe" Park and others at the nearby Jupiter's Claim theme park. What plan do OJ, Emerald and the others devise? ![]() Park your horse here if you still haven't seen Nope. Nope runs more than two hours and follows horse trainers (and siblings) OJ and Emerald Hayworth, who discover something large and mysterious is lurking in the sky near their ranch. Peele has touched on what the film is about in interviews, but first let's break down that ending. When I walked out of a screening a few months ago, a sense that I wasn't getting the big message weighed on me like an ominous cloud over the Southern California desert. ![]() Maybe you have questions about what went down in that thrilling finale, or you're stuck wondering what the flick must actually be about. So you just took in Jordan Peele's sci-fi horror blockbuster Nope, which started streaming Friday on Peacock. ![]()
