BTW did anyone elses theater show a trailer for Ma with Octavia Spencer?

I don't keep up on movies like that so I don't know if it's well known but Jesus Christ BlumHouse stays coming through with some out of the box type shyt. I never thought I'd see a Black Woman as the villain of a horror movie and she looks CREEPY AS fukk in it.

Thank you Jordan Peele for showing these CACs a new way.

MA shot some of its scenes at Alcorn State, my Alma Mater

Gotta give it up to a few on thecoli... they called it when the first trailer dropped. When Adelaide was snapping her fingers she was off beat, very subtle yet substantial clue.

Pretty much. It was speculated since the trailer release.

Does anyone think this could be an allegory about organized movements and government control vs. anarchy? or the divide between the wealthy and the have-nots? I can see it being either one.

I think opposite for the same reason.

This is exactly why I quoted @NobodyReally 's Chris Stuckman review with the Screen Junkies review.

Because they made the case its very similar to Unbreakable being the follow up to Sixth Sense. Its just different. Needs time to unpack, accept, etc. (Remember Unbreakable was VERY mixed when it first dropped. A lot of people saying "its no Sixth Sense"

It's one of the struggles when you produce something popular. People expect your next product to be the exact same thing but somehow also original and different. You can't pull off both.

I see it as several interpretations and I think that's mainly the point. This isn't supposed to be a clear cut singular interpretations. You can even suggest this is an allegory about how revolutions begin by the oppress toppling over their oppressors. Or a metaphor of how society want to perceive themselves as one way, but they truly reflect something ugly and more or less social zombies. There's so much to chew on about this.

I don’t get why people do not think the kids are at least half tethered? If Adeliene is full tethered... the only person isn’t would be the father...

 

[No Sleep]

I think opposite for the same reason.

What made you think that? There are a lot of signs pointing to what you're saying though.
