It can't go unnoticed that the HQ for the organization was under the church; knowing how important a respite it is within the black community.

[@7hundred7eventy7]

Maybe back when kids listened to their grandma. The church is not a respite for the black community.

[@francisko338]

@7hundred7eventy7 The black church has always been a revered place in our community; both historically & currently--which made it the perfect base of operations for the agency. There are layers of context to that; dressing up misinformation & the guise of "religion" to maintain the status quo is probably one of the deepest nuggets in the film

[@7hundred7eventy7]

@@francisko338 yeah like I said- maybe back in the day when we listened to our elders. The church is no longer a pillar of the black community, as much as I want that back.

[@7hundred7eventy7]

@@francisko338 if anything the base of operations being the church could be commentary on how empty black churches are now.

[@francisko338]

@7hundred7eventy7 Yes, there is a generational shift in attitudes; more people are opting for spirituality versus organized religion, but depending on your location (I'm from the south), the black church--for better or worse--still has a cultural vice grip on our communities. Many people are practically reared in the church, with some of our earliest memories being tied to it. Example, I could probably sing a few words of "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" or any number of devotional songs & typically, any black person within a few feet can finish the lyrics. Some may even say the church is an early form of brainwashing. Essentially, from birth, you're not really given a choice--you're subjected to an idea & are told what to believe without really asking any questions. It shapes a lot of our opinions, decision-making, & how we navigate through life. I think the movie touches on that aspect & while yes, attitudes are changing about the church, it's still largely a hub for projecting a belief system. Just like with the perm kits, the chicken, & club music, it's another "soft target" hidden in plain sight, but specifically because the church is so socially/culturally intertwined, I think it makes it more dangerous than all the others. Easier access to spread disinformation; control cloaked in morality. Hence the agency's need to headquarter there.

[@BigGlockGucci]

That person in the bloody clothes walking down the street was the first fontaine. You can tell by the way the second fontaine was looking like he kinda of recognize that person but couldn't tell because they was down the street.

​@124dkg9 ding ding ding. 100%, opps would have been killed and no one would really know except another clone which doesnt matter to the organization anyway

[@RacCkhn]

The movie's entire premise counted on people being stupid. The evil secret science people literally facilitated their own failure, the Nixon guy gave away his trigger word which opened the door for anyone to take the suited clone and have the suited clone kill Nixon. Somehow they didn't see that Yoyo hair was a wig despite testing black hair for years through the white dj and hair salon chick. And they had the whole hood monitored but never caught on to two of their clones plotting with a prostitute to overthrow their control. The evil people were stupid and sloppy and the town of the Glenn got very very lucky. That's the movie. The crazy part,....this movie could be viewed as a practice for the real secret science people controlling everything. The movie said and showed there are other areas like the Glenn around America, maybe the downfall of the scientists and clone lab in the Glenn was just a trial run for if other cities try and make that happen elsewhere. So that then next time the evil scientists won't be as stupid as they were in the Glenn. I only bring up this theory because of that homeless guy. The homeless guy was basically giving the trio clues throughout the movie like he was a robot or a genie or witch. He basically led them to where they needed to be for the plot to happen, as if he was part of everything and had a purpose beyond just saying some random mutterings to the trio. What if, the scientists were using the trio as a test for how to spot future disruptive personalities and mentalities (Malcom X type people) and then deal with them? The movie ended in a typical fiction fashion, the day is saved (only in that one city tho) and all the clones of the Glenn are freed. But as I watched and meditated on the ending, it felt more like a dishonest conclusion rather than the feel good ending they were shooting for. They won that day but what about tomorrow, what if the Government in that world turns on Black people because of the clones being exposed and they retaliate in all the other clone cities. The movie left me wondering how does a situation like this realistically end, because I know for sure that ending wasn't it. It was too positive, despite the darker implications of the premise of the movie and Tyrone disrupting the old ass clone's story about him and Fontaine being the only ones.

[@hamishfox]

I think a lot of the so called plot holes in this movie can be explained by the organization's hubris. They're so overconfident they don't give a shit. You can see it in the scene where the nightclub chases down the Scooby gang and they just let them go. They don't give a hoot.

I was writing a book with the same twist ending of turning black people white but not with clones😢 watching this made me feel like the Tyrone watching the news at the end

[@earlpipe9713]

I hope you're not discouraged from finishing. There's a reason why multiple people will have the same or similar thematic or plot points around the same point in time, as it'll usually reflect something that's very relevant in the current times, and is a thought bubbling in the general sub conscious. And that particular one is definitely of current relevance, just considering the current post Cold War dominance of capitalism, and the way it likes to kinda wipe out organic, and genuine longstanding cultures and communities, in favor of trying to form everyone everywhere into an alienated, homogenized sameness in order to make them better consumers, out of a need to fill the emptiness in their lives

[@earlpipe9713]

That's just on a general level too. There's more specific ways that theme is extremely relevant now, with unchecked gentrification of too many city neighborhoods/communities, and also the way the internet and social media makes too many people all have to follow the same things

Thank you for your analysis, a banger as always. That Squidward theory is solid, and I'll rewatch it through that lense. A few points, though. 1. YoYo is meant to be an outlier. She's represents the people in the hood that have the drive and intelligence to recognize the indoctrination but give in "hood circumstances." 2. Sheep were the first cloned mammals, so all you need are key members in a controlled environment, the hood, to clone to shepherd the flock. (Dboy, Pimp, and TD Jakes..er..I mean.. Religious figure). 3. The hair, in several African diaspora beliefs, is where we keep our soul, our power. Its telling that that is the hardest to genetically manipulate.

So... people will think I'm crazy, but the government started cloning trials with rats in the early 80's and progressed to larger mammals. By the time they started talking about "dolly" the sheep, they were already testing how they could "modify" or "enhance" the subjects with gene alterations. Not to mention their cross-breeding attempts like the goat-sheep hybrid "geap"... really weird that they stopped talking about it, especially since you can literally clone you pet for $50,000 in China.

​@NineNerdYards I believe that parts have to be real... like the music blaring over those two dudes fighting. They know more than the public about the music "they" release. That, the food, and the action of putting stuff in it to control the people. Also the "control group" idea of a town or a certain part of the country get "special things" in order to watch and see what happens. During covid, certain vaccines were sent to certain parts of the country. And then there were different reactions based on what company made the vaccines.

Just one of the best films ive seen in the past 5 yrs tbh. It was funny as well as introspective but the elements of horror were what really stood out to me. To have psychological horror mixed with scientific atrocities based in real life made the tone that much more sinister.

In Yoyo's room, they pick up a book called "The Hidden Staircase" and I immediately thought of the movie The People Under The Stairs. Let's just say they share somewhat of a similar outcome. (Trying not to spoil)

I think it should be pointed out that the car that Yo-Yo saw was not the car that Issac and his goon was in. She saw the "company" car that picked up Fontaine's dead body. That was how the conspiracy really unravelled. Another reaction channel compared the "Sponge Bob" life lesson to the "Thomas the Tank Engine" life lessons in Bullet Train. Also, black hair being "stubborn" is kind of a thing. The organisation has been working for a very long time. They've become complacent due to the power they have over people. Notice the surveillance equipment was from the 60's. One guy was taking notes on paper and pad. No need to spend money on certain things when clones are so expensive! Also Frog knew a lot but who would believe him. I'm sure many others found out the secret and were "removed" by company men like Nixon. Afterall it was his job to "clean up."

I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it but then i did. It surprised me tbh.

[@Dr.Strange_-_Grave_-_]

I hope they make a sequel it would be cool, but idk what it would be about

[@NewYoutuber1111]

They cloned Keke 🤔💭💭

[@CGISpiderLegs]

The first two acts of this movie were amazing. The third act wasn’t as good. I don’t think the takeover of the the lab worked because the action was shot and choreographed poorly. However, I really liked this movie even with its flaws. Looking g forward to Juel Taylor’s next film.

That final Fontaine in the underground base reminds me a little bit of Clarence Williams' character in Tales From The Hood

[@LxrdBreezy00]

Accidentally clicked a trailer i couldnt wait and wasnt let down. I watched that shit twice. Made me have hope for new cinema. Hopefully the director will be pushed

[@ricardobaeta3184]

I started watching this movie without really looking at the title, so i was not really aware of the cloning. Making this movie one of the greatest watches cause it was super trippy

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

I think they figured it out in that city because that’s where the original is. If he wasn’t there he would’ve have been there to do the big bad guy speech. All of the clones would just have been killed and replaced. You could also be a bit less cynical and say it’s because of the woman

[@AxeMan808]

Props on knowing Undercover Brother. There's a lot of Black Dynamite in here too.

[@LizzyMcD]

@NineNerdYards the Thomas reference was water spit out funny 😂😂😂

[@iSee109]

Thank you for this analysis and explanation of this movie. I didn't fully understand it after watching it a couple of times. Also, I fell asleep on it both times so there's that. But, now I have greater understanding. I think I'll give it another go. I hope I don't fall asleep on it again.

[@Flamsterette]

[@imfiveone7158]

holy shit that's john boyega!!!!?!!? i was like, i've seen this guy somewhere but i couldn't remember wtf. I thought it was Trevante Rhodes 😵‍💫

[@sensufr219]

I watched this while I was high the hood I’m from is called Glen Park in Gary Indiana and man life was not easy growing up there I cried when he found out about his mom and I loved this movie thru and thru

[@MRCHAOSKIDD]

I believe it’s based in Atlanta! The Glen is Glenwood Rd!

[@chefhosanna]

It’s a newer genre specifically called ‘Black Surrealism’. ATL, Jordan Peele’s movies, I am a Virgo, The Other Black Girl, etc.

[@PIMPSTREZZ-DNA-FAM]
