Watching **US** is it creepy or horrifying… or both? (Us Movie Reaction)

[@playfulpanthress]

I love this movie! I can’t watch the final fight without crying though. That poor little girl that got her life stolen, whose trachea was probably broken and left surrounded by mad people who spoke a different language. Died in the place she hated. Where she was terrified and had to eat raw rabbit to live. The monster left her there in the dark. Alone.

[@fizadin1859]

Which girl are we talking about? Sorry, i'm just confused, lol.

[@fizadin1859]

DW, I think I've got the answer.

[@HuntingViolets]

They were both victims, but she could have escaped with the original girl instead of switching with her.

[@playfulpanthress]

@@HuntingViolets I'm thinking kid logic is why the monster put the girl in her place.

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

You are the tether! Why are you such a bad dancer?

[@Skinniest_Kween]

Jordan Peele said that the theme of the film is Americans and how they treat/perceive immigrants. Which actually makes a lot of sense considering the nuanced title of the movie and the bit where Red says, "We're Americans" when Adaliede asks them who they are. Also, the fact that the clones or "shadows" look and act exactly like their upper-world selves is a perfect metaphor for how immigrants are more like us than we think and that they just want better lives for themselves just like we all do. And if you really think about it, who's the villain here? The people who live above them with all the commodities and luxuries they want, or their "shadows" who are forced to live miserable lives, eating rabbits raw and bloody?

[@Sam-0827]

The five on it remix is so good and so chilling. Jordan is such a great horror director. Also the son definitely knows, he knows Adelaide is Red

[@nobodysinger3566]

I find it so funny how they all causally talk about how many people they killed almost like they’re debating about how many points they have in a game lol

[@calebclunie4001]

Listen to "Down In The Park", from Tubeway Army (the phrase "kill by number", is not veiled at all), and realize, that Gary Numan was reading stuff like "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?", by Philip K. Dick, which is what "Blade Runner" is based on. The song, "Are Friends Electric", set the tone, for decades of synth and industrial music. I would be surprised, if Jordan Peele didn't get something from those songs, or "Cars", or "We Are Glass". I'd love to ask him.

[@JluvsLucas]

The "mom" that was originally a doppelganger realized at the end she had killed herself at the end. When they drove away the "mom" looked at her son and smirked just like she had when she stole the real moms life . The boy had a mask and put it on and thats what gives them the connection and he know thats not his mom.

[@Liquidplasticable]

I don’t think the boy was switched, I think he acted oddly because he’s half tethered half human. The sister is older so she probably grew out of some of her weirder tendencies.

[@HTMN161]

No, it’s because he realised that she was a tethered all along

This movie scared me so bad the first time I watched it. Like I'm a grown person and I had nightmares for WEEKS. Great commentary by the way!!!

[@7central40]

Wait- what did her tethered self mean when she said she was cut open during the birth of her son? That her real self had a c-section during his birth?

[@LakiaJaiTV]

I just realized that she was saying when the real her had a c-section the shadow her had to cut her own stomach open and take the baby out herself.

[@CarbonAnimationProductions]

18:43 there yo fryin pan is Lakia! also, this movie is about the American dream at its base, i used to think it was about black people but it wasn't. basically the tethered wanted to know what it was like to be above ground with their copies. and yea the boy does know that's not his mom that's why he stared at her like that, then she smirked because she was the original tether to switch out her copy and now she started an uprising worldwide. I want a part 2 so BAD but you know how Mr. Peele is... anyways loved this video, definitely love this movie cuz it's just different from other movies.

When she started ‘Don’t stop me now….cuz you’re having bad time, having a bad time..’ 😂😂I lost it

[@MistySophie]

I heard a theory that the son was a tethered too and was switched when he was very young. This is why the "tethered" mother didn't really intended for the tethered son to kill the boy and just told them to go play, and why Addy tried to save the tethered son before he went into the fire

[@joydanleigh7711]

interesting

[@LaineyKismet]

All 4 kids probably have half a soul since Red has a real soul and Adelaide has none at all, just a cool thought

[@fynnthefox9078]

I remember seeing this in San Francisco. I was looking for something to do while my mom was doing Lyft so I went to see a movie, Us looked interesting, so I bought a ticket and saw it. When I left the theater I was confused by the ending.

[@calebclunie4001]

Down the coast from San Francisco, is where this was shot. Santa Cruz. That boardwalk had a taffy pull machine in a candy store, the last time I was there, several decades ago. I don't recall the hall of mirrors. Maybe?

[@StreetHierarchy]

It's about poverty and prosperity. It's about escaping the destitution and having to leave your people behind. It's about the haves and have-nots and the resentment that comes from people hoarding all the wealth from you.

Jordan makes brilliant movies. I’m excited for the next one and I love seeing black main leads. It’s refreshing.

[@nicture237]

So the mom was a doppelganger and not the other way around? And the person we thought was the doppelganger was actually the real person!?!

[@susansaphire5983]

Yup. That's why she couldn't talk as a child and she didn't have any rhythm. On the other hand, Red mom was the only one of the Tethered that could talk. It also explains the entire premise around the uprising, because why would they uprise if they didn't know what was above?

The boy couldn't be switched, cause his doppelganger was burnt so at least we know that. I think he figured out smth was wrong, but not exactly what happened.

[@rickypedia999]

What I still don't get is... why didn't Red just leave the underground? It seems like no one was keeping her there, seeing as how it was stated the project was abandoned so long ago

[@celestiacrystal9317]

I think the adults in the underground wouldn’t let her, she was a child and she would not be able to fight them off, as the adults above the ground interacted with her doppelganger the underground ones interacted with her, so she couldn’t just leave and as she grew into adulthood she realized the others were innocent and tortured and she started hatching her plan
