[@maddiegreenwood6928]

“Us” gave me serious Stanley Kubrick vibes. I genuinely feel like Peele is a new age Kubrick, revitalizing the genre in a way that it was desperate for. From the soundtrack, to the subliminal messages, to the visuals- all of it. Genius.

[@diegor7000]

alright lets fucking relax with the comparisons

[@Neego283]

The meaning of the movie was in line with the Shining. American settlers murdering the Natives Americans and building a hotel over their graves, only to have the Natives come back in the afterlife and haunt the hotel. The "Establishment" in America tricking and harming certain groups (the Tethered) and treating them like test subjects (the rabbits), all while they live the good life, only to have the Tethered take vengeance against the Establishment (led by one of their own).

[@Nautilus1972]

Oh Jesus please stop. Kubrick is the greatest director of all time, or right up there. Peele has made two shitty movies.

[@WebbErica]

Omg! I was thinking it but you said it. Hope they don’t try to kill him off

Isn’t it weird that Jordan was a comedic actor with shows like key and peele and movies like Keanu to this dark serious brilliant horror movie director

[@cloud9847]

to be a high level comedic actor, especially at key and peele level...you have to have a high intelligence and ability to see the world around you. Every good comic is also generally very intelligent. So Im not overly surprised he is as good at horror as he is at comedy.

Jordan Peele is a top shelf director. I think his films are great. I remember when he was a cast member on MadTV now he’s one of the best. I’m happy he’s found success ✌️❤️

[@levimelton4492]

I couldn’t sleep I was like what happens now are they gonna be okay what about the mom where are they gonna go? SO MANY DAMN QUESTIONS

[@Cinemabuff97]

I know man! I know so many questions and theories to dabble with! Jordan Peele really wants America to start a conversation. And btw we have gotten too caught up in everything in the movie, that not a lot of people have wanted to discuss. Where are they going? What will happen with them? It is probably left to the audiences interpretation along with many other scenes in the movie. Man, I love this movie, but it does seem like Jordan may have outdone himself a bit. As much as I love literary devices, and ambiguous scenes, I love that Jordan used them greatly, but at the same time I also feel like he may have put too many things in this movie. There seems to be too many connections, symbolism, questions. If I were him I would have cut out just a bit, because it is all so much to take in!!

[@emilyprice8353]

Jordan is amazingly twisted and I want more!!!!!

[@mandragora420ify]

Jordans imagination is why he can write his own script and all though i didn't care for "US" it was original and beautifully shot. "Get Out" is one of my favorite thrillers I've seen in the last 20 years. I think he should stick to psychological Sci-Fi tense thrillers instead of strait horror just because he gets to be more thoughtfully involved with the story. And because he understands comedy and that it's all about the timing is why thriller/horror comes so easy because it too is all about timing the shots perfectly. I could go on but this comment is a novel already.

[@mariavlogsreaction]

Juss saw it but mad confused about it juss need to see it again

[@aronchai]

It's a movie about class division in the US. Jordan is coy about the theme of the movie in these interviews, but I feel like that's what he intended.

[@Bigdaddy099]

Great movie so excited for the next

[@aronchai]

I think I get why the general audience reaction to this movie has been so much cooler than the critics'. Get Out wasn't that scary either, but it spoke to deep anxieties about white people in its target audience of black people. With Us, we have a film about class written and directed by an upper-class man with an upper-class perspective, in which the metaphorical representatives of the lower class (the doppelgangers) are horrible monsters. This speaks to the deep-seated fear that rich people have of poor people, which critics generally share, being college-educated members of the upper class themselves. The general public on the other hand is made up of regular Joes by definition, so they don't feel the anxieties that the movie is speaking to on a visceral level, and might actually be insulted by their metaphorical representation in the movie (especially since the audience for the movie is predominantly black, and blacks are predominantly working-class). If you want to see a movie that's basically the mirror image of Us, watch Sorry To Bother You.

[@mmdmmj1]

[@mmdmmj1]

@@chrisbrowngone well Enlighten me ...

[@compulsiverambler1352]

And most casual horror movie goers aren't looking to think too hard, certainly not to re-watch it several times and research things weeks afterwards. Critics are huge film nerds so they're among the viewers who love analysing every frame and every word for hidden meanings, and Us is far richer than Get Out for that type of audience.

[@nuke97]

The movie is a thinker and a bit of a thriller. It was not terrifying. I don't think he drove the point home enough about the tether people being a true reflection of our inner dark selves. I'm still rooting for Peele either way. Keep it up!

[@ummwhatever1913]

nuke97 a thriller can be horrific depending on how You analyze it. I believe he explained well how the doppelgänger was indeed their inner being. Or even how the “US” see “Us” on the inside no matter how ordinary we” are our class or gender. Because Gabe was big black and masculine, one would ignore how he’s also a present dad, educated loving caring and have a sense of humor. Even tho Adelaide swapped reds life, she saw a opportunity and better way to change her way of living, where as one would continue in their misery. She ran from her past where Red was her inner self that she needed to address but choose to kill, Adelaide was not good or bad to Me. The son was perceived as odd distant selective and quiet where as he was the only one who was inquisitive enough to get inside his own head to defeat his vice of wanting to successfully flick the lighter. Burning Pluto in the fire to me was an indication of killing a failed idea and replacing it with something else(hence* the rabbit doll). The daughter didn’t enjoy running track but her mom pushed it on her and her dad tried to give her ideas to enjoy it and get better. In the end it was the one thing she hated doing is what she had to use to defeat her doppelgänger. I took it as an example of our parents trying to show us another way and to be better than they were and to grab opportunities by the hand while you can....just my opinions!

[@compulsiverambler1352]

You've never been to South Africa if you think that. Biracial people exist everywhere, and some of them move to the USA and get criticised for not identifying themselves according to racist Jim Crow "one drop" definitions and for pointing out that their experience is very different to biracial North Americans, all because Americans more than most nationalities are raised to assume that all they know is all there is.

why is the interviewer laughing the whole time? it's like he's trying to embody the manic, bubbly, annoying interviewer trope. "haha you can finally make it so the black people don't die in the first five minutes!!! haha!" it's like he doesn't realize he's describing something harmful.

Such a convoluted plot with so many holes. Not nearly as coherent as Get Out.

[@Kidastro123]

What holes did you see? Genuinely asking

[@thescapegoatmechanism8704]

Kidastro123 Well, for instance, how come the tethered only copy some actions of the real people but not all? If both the kids and fake kids are half human (as suggested by the twist at the end), how come they can’t control each other if both families have one real parent and thus an authentic soul? And why can’t Adelaide be controlled by Red if Red is the real person? Those are just a few off the top of my head.

[@maleik144]

I wouldn’t say many plot holes. But my questions were how did Red get up to the fun house? If the tethers felt the same pain how did they not get hurt when they killed their counterparts? How did Jason control his tether?

[@lorenalareyna5819]

The Scapegoat Mechanism I guess you’re right on the actions. I personally think it’s bc they’re not perfectly aligned and thus there’s points of variation. The second one tho I attribute to it being commentary on how you adapt to your surroundings bc the real Adeline was surrounded by the tethered after the switch she began to behave as they did and be controlled while the real red did the inverse. +i think whoever’s above the other is in control. Just speculation obviously tho

[@thescapegoatmechanism8704]

Lorena La Reyna I’ve heard people make the suggestion that there’s room for variation but that just makes me wonder why the tethered didn’t just escape whenever they had a chance. If a little girl like Adelaide could escape like she does in the beginning, how hard could it have been for others? Plus, I don’t see how the government saw them as a failed experiment because they technically succeed in the end by overthrowing the real people and forming that line like they were originally intended to do.
