“US” (by Jordan Peele) Official Thread

[Maude]

I remember when the movie first came out everybody in this thread was trying to pretend it wasn't garbage ....trying to claim we didn't "understand" it. Nah....this shyt was weak from day 1. And it looks like everybody finally came around and realized it

Fax. nikkas was typing up thesises to explain this weak shyt

Movie was average as fukk imo.

Definitely not seeing Get Out or the og Tales from the Hood.

Can't front the hype got me for this movie when I first watched ....shyt is meh

Another thing that ultimately hurts the film to me is the fact that they showed the audience the underground facility. The tethered should have just showed up above ground. Once you show the audience that the place they came from is in the physical world it opens up so many other question. Not to mention showing them wearing similar clothes to their counterparts above ground and doing similar actions AND feeling the pain of their counterparts (c-section).

'The underground' didn't need to be a physical place. It ruins a lot of the magic.

Even having the tethered come from a literal mirror dimension would make more sense with the little girl walking through the hall of mirrors and her tethered forcing herself into our world. But it being a physical place underground and showing that makes the audience start to question the logic.

Just watched this for the first time yesterday. Lmao this shyt was garbage all that damn hype the only tin I can say was Lupita is kinda fine to me only than that everything was hot wet trash. Especially the father in this movie, what was the point of making him so bytch made? Literally looked at breh the whole time like just a trash movie filled with awkward actors.

I watched this again last night with my sister who hadn't seen it.

2nd viewing didn't make it any better or move it up any for me. Like I said after seeing it in theaters, the execution just wasn't there for this film, and it shows.

I think symbolism has ended up confusing folks as well.

I don't see the tethered as 'twins' or 'clones' even though they look like the folks above ground. The rabbits got the idea of 'cloning' in mind. Ultimately I feel the rabbits were unneeded confusion. The 'down the rabbit hole' metaphor adds nothing to the overall film. You've achieved that metaphor already with the following:

Essentially the relationship is more mother and child.

The ones underground and the ones above are tethered to each other. The above feeds the below (Instead of food it's information). The tethered use scissors as weapons because it's what you use to cut an umbilical cord after birth. An umbilical cord ties the mother to the child. An umbilical cord is essentially a tunnel from the mother to the child. The film shows the mother and child relationship throughout but this is the case with the tethered as well.

All of that gets bogged down though when you introduce a physical place for the tethered, clothes worn underground which are similar to the ones above, the rabbits, the ones below behaving like the ones above, the red jumpsuits, the one glove on each hand, etc. So ultimately this ends up confusing people further.

What messes this idea up is the rabbits and tunnels + rabbits and cloning.

I feel there's a tighter movie in here somewhere. Like GoldenGlove above me said, it's the execution. I feel like too many ideas made the whole of this project feel clunky. Either go full supernatual/alternate/mirror dimension or don't. Don't show the audience the tethered live in a physical man-made place. If it's in the real world then people start asking real world questions.
