its that, its also just a direct allegory to the creature and the father saying "Some animals just won't be tamed", and then, from that, Jupe thinking that monster had a connection with him, just like the chimp did, when in reality, neither really did, they are wild creatures who wanna eat.

Saw this yesterday.
Best movie I’ve seen in a theatre since No Way Home and best movie I’ve seen in a long time not based on an existing IP.
Great acting all around, cinematography and camera work was excellent and a story that held my attention the whole way through.
I admit I was apprehensive that there would be some woke message, but I didn’t notice it if there was. There’s a minor point about how the main characters are the premier “black owned” horse ranch in the entertainment industry, but no one really carries a chip on their shoulder about it beyond it being a sales pitch.
Excellent film. Easy 8/10 for me, possibly a 9

The reveal of the UFO being the alien itself and not a vehicle was great.
In regards to the chimp subplot: yeah that’s basically an allegory for how you can’t hope to control a wild animal/predator. Steven Yeuns character learns this the hard way.
the scene that shows what happens to the people who are abducted was intense

Ahh yes, the black Jew~
I love all the Black Hebrew Israelites who think they are the actual Jews from the Bible... that Jesus was black, and that the white man (literally all of us) are created by the Devil to oppress them.
Regarding Peele though... I don't follow his personal life. He and Key had some really good/funny skits, I -somewhat- enjoyed his Twilight Zone episodes (hate their woke dialed to 11 status though), and thought Get Out was fucking crazy... only a true psycho with massive race issues could create that story in their creative head. So I have 0 clue if he was "Jewish" or anything else about him, really. I just know he's tormented about his skin, agreed.
Lastly, I am STILL lost on the high seas regarding this film. Sextant plz. I want to check it out but it's not really worth $14 to me... maybe 14¢.

question about what you thought about the ending. i haven't seen the movie, not a big horror fan but my brother is and he told me the story and it does sound sorta interesting. I'll probably watch at home when its out, should be on VOD first week of Sept. Ironically I had free tix to the IMAX screening on sunday but completely forgot.
He said they killed the alien by blowing up with a balloon that looked like a person with eyes or something, I guess the alien only attacks if you look at it? weird lol
anyways wouldn't the movie have been a LOT better if the alien gets away, and then a few days later people start reporting weird unmoving clouds all around the world? Like it completes the message, "Man is not always in control, sometimes we come across things that fuck us up". A bit of a Quiet Place, Outer Limits, Twilight Zone sorta vibe.
Having the good guys kill the single predator alien and win just seems weird, is it basically a homage to Alien, Predator, Terminator, etc?

Movie was fantastic. The ending was really well done. Without spoiling anything, towards the end, the alien is marvelous looking on screen.
..
God damn, that scene when its ... raining on the house.

Honestly, if anything, I’d say the movie is most similar to

Jaws, if the main protagonists wanted to take a picture of it to get an award from National Geographic....
The fact it's impossible to empathize with the main characters really hurt the movie for me. It's also a bit slow and repetitive, which does not help. There are a lot of original visual and plot ideas that lead to great sequences though and as a whole it is solidly executed (I have not seen his previous movies).
