One More Nope (2022) Thought

The almost fist bump between Ricky and Gordy as subversion of ET, as inverse of an act of healing. Gordy reaches under the table, eyes obscured from Ricky, hand sticky with blood from the person he’s brutally beaten. Ricky, confused and terrified, reaches out to meet Gordy as if to perform a fist bump, an act the two had likely done many times during production of the sitcom. It’s an act of connection, Ricky desperately reaching out in hopes to calm the well-behaved chimp with whom he’d thought he’d bonded.

The scene horrifyingly echoes the iconic moment of connection in ET where ET touches Elliot and heals him. In Nope, this moment of touch is the opposite, leading to Gordy freezing long enough to be shot and killed and leading to the lifelong trauma or Ricky being witness to this violence. More than that, it shows how naive Ricky’s hope for connection is, the idea that this bloodied chimpanzee can be mollified with a gesture. How naive Ricky is for even thinking he understands Gordy at all. This is made even clearer by the fact that Gordy was not Gordy; he was a nameless chimpanzee, one of many used to play the role. Ricky is bonded with the idea of Gordy, but in reality he is just mimicking at friendship with a whole slew of chimpanzees it’s unclear if he can even tell apart.

In ET, the touch between ET and Elliot is a moment of humanity. Nope shows us how foolish that idea is in practice, and how dangerous it can be to superimpose human behaviors onto creatures we can never fully understand. Is Gordy actually connecting with Ricky? Is he reaching under to try to grab and beat him? Is there any motive to Gordy’s movement? There is no answer, and there will never be. Just like Ricky, we can’t see into the chimpanzee who played Gordy’s mind.

Relating Gordy to Jean Jacket, we are also left with a statement on the pseudo-divine. Consider the moment of Adam reaching to God in the Creation of Adam. The idea that Adam could ever connect with or understand the will of God, or the universe, in its absurdity. Ricky reaches for JJ, thinks perhaps that this was fate, that he is special for having trained JJ. Perhaps he even believes this is what his life has been building towards. But like Gordy, a creature almost human, Jean Jacket, a creature almost a God, is beyond comprehension. Ricky has misinterpreted every single moment of interaction between him and JJ, seen humanity and reason where there is none. Divinity where there is chaos and comprehension where there is instinct. He does not even know the other forms JJ can take, he has not seen him fully. It is no coincidence he doesn’t even know JJ is not a ship but a creature, that he believes JJ contains humanoid aliens in the form of a camera-shaped head and chimpanzee body. He is reaching for an illusion as false as his former. And once again the outstretched hand will lead to ruin.
