Jordan Peel has a history of creating movies that convey deep meanings. This video talks about the deeper meaning of Nope by Jordan Peel. To be more specific, it addresses the exploitation of animals. We can reference the chimpanzee in Gordies House to further elaborate. He was used in the entertainment industry day after day on set until one day a balloon popped on stage that scared him and caused him to snap. He killed many cast and crew members. This shows us what can happen to an animal when exploiting an animal for profit with no regard for their well-being and that animals cannot be tamed. Additionally, this also applies to the horses in the Haywood company in Hollywood. Despite OJ and Haywood’s words that they always treated their animals with care, OJ had to sell some horses to Jupe who used the horses to lure the creatures to his theme park Jupiter’s Claim for shows. He used them to make money off of the shows despite the fact that they were put in danger. 

More so, the balloons in this film are significant. The popping of balloons in Gordie House set the chimp off. Similarly, Emerald releases a giant character balloon. Since the balloon has eyes she uses it to lure the creature and fool it. When the creature consumes it the balloon pops and it blows up the creature. The balloon causes dramatic effects on these characters. A balloon set Gordy off and a balloon also set the creature off.
