Us - How Inconsistency Ruins Fear | Anatomy Of A Failure

Get Out writer-director Jordan Peele's Us became one of the most stand-out and talked-about movies of the year. Unfortunately, as strictly a horror film, it suffers from one core problem that reduces its ability to evoke true fear and dread -- inconsistency. In today's family friendly pg episode of KZbin's favorite award winning show, Anatomy of a Failure, let's try to understand why.

Personally, I feel as if the twists (the ones that they actually tried to keep hidden until the end, because frankly, I saw it coming with the opening scene alone.) Actually takes away from the story as a whole. That is to say, when you start asking questions about the movie, the holes start to destroy whatever message that it tries to tell. Questions like "who made the doubles?" "Why is the double for the mother in this random city that she doesn't even live in?" "Wouldn't 'severing', as Red puts it, be punishing innocent people for the troubles that the doubles went through?" "If she really switched from that long ago, how does Red know all this information? Who told her?" "Why are the Controler and the Controled so inconsistant?" "If the point of the movie was to empulate that Hand Across America thing, then who exactly are they trying to 'protest' to? They've killed anyone who would have tried to help them in the first place." I could litterally go on for days, because these are all questions that I thought up as time goes by and the only conclusion that I can come up with is that Jordan Peele made a great psychological horror film, that failed at whatever message it would have tried to send to begin with.

[@lumpenprolemat]

A Tethered explanation is unimportant. Any plot holes are based on believing the character that explains the Tethered. Any character we see in the film being able to definitively know how and why there are doubles would not make sense and itself become the biggest plot hole. This ends up being neat with your comment being a subversion of expectations. Pointing out seeming paradoxes which themselves are much bigger paradoxes. And being upset with superfluous, inconsequential issues untethered to the crux of the film and the real world status quo.

[@mattmedrala1947]

My problem is with how the twist is handled. It sort of undermines all the sympathetic qualities of the tethered by making it seem like they're inherently sadistic monsters even as kids, and I find it rather silly to have the film retroactively rationalize Adelaide showing joy in violence with this reveal that "she was subhuman all along". Instead of really getting us to see the Tethered as people who were in worse conditions, this 'twist' just comfortably reinforces the idea that they're inherently worse than normal people. The questions the movie raises about class struggle can now be dismissed with the reveal that the underclass really are monsters, and anyone trying to change their position must necessarily be a monster. Plus that goofy cliche shot of kid Adelaide grinning in a comically evil way feels like a lazy attempt to 'shock' viewers, rather than something in line with Adelaide's 'ordinary' personality.

[@InternetPolice007]

@@mattmedrala1947 yeah it was meh at the end because the tethered stuff was pure nonsense. There's no way you can explain all that stuff. (Atleast in a movie) I get its an allegory but it's not good for a movie set in the real world.

[@tim72]

@@mattmedrala1947 I disagree that the tethered seem like morally evil people. The whole point of the invasion was to reveal themselves and live better lives. It all stems from the jealousy of the tethered having to live awful lives while the people above live in ignorant bliss. The tethered wanted the same freedoms and lives of the people above because they felt that they didn't deserve to live underground. The tethered were also not raised in an environment of "moral good". They had to kill and eat rabbits for their entire lives and were forced to do exactly what the people above did, so they did the only thing they knew to do. Their invasion is more of a class revolt against the people above than a protest (imo). They were desperate people who thought that murder was the only correct solution to get better lives, not people that just wanted murder for murder.

[@rat9199]

I liked Get Out because even tho it was heavy in it's subtext and meaning the story hold up relatively good. In Us I think Peele went too hard on his metaphore and as a result the story suffers. If your plot can't survive a simple scrutiny because you NEEDED to say something deeper, then you did something wrong. The actual story and It's meaning should be a somewhat even equation. Also and not really related. The humour on Get Out was far superior and tasteful. In this it's just feels weird and out of place

[@krystalshelby]

*metaphor but yeah I agree with you

[@williamtimonen6814]

Yeah, if you dont care about making a good story you might aswell just go and make a documentary or write an essay or something.

[@GREATGAIWAIN]

I disagree if only because that limits the potential of the types of movies that can be made. Some movies are made with no consideration to the story and just exist to be visual treats, the musical genre and movies like Moulin Rouge specifically come to mind. I personally don't like those movies but I appreciate that they need to exist as part of the tapestry of film potential. I am technically on your side, ironically enough. I prefer a coherent narrative but I cannot say that a movie MUST do or be anything other than what it intends to be. In movies that run on dream-like or ethereal logic, story usually takes a backseat because you kind of need to twist reality a bit to engage in the movie you're seeing. Disney's Alice in Wonderland is the classic example. The story they tell there is more secondary and incredibly basic in order to make room for the visual and psychological themes. In fact, the stories that do stand the test of time best are the simpler ones. Fairy Tales have always been little more than morality plays for children but their simplistic nature and lack of adherence to conventional logic helps them last because they become untethered from their time period and are free to be updated and adapted as need be.

[@tonyofplymouth7303]

Great video! Additionally, I think the real "twist" concerning red and Adelaide was more that when watching the opening, a regular movie fan immediately starts suspecting a switch of the two girls, but then the story goes in a direction where Jordan Peele leads the viewer to believe that they were wrong, which in itself is an expectation subversion, to only then play the "Adelaide is the real Red" twist as powerful as possible in the end, subverting expectation a second time. The man is nothing short of a genius

[@rozz7531]

[@youtubevoice1050]

"Subverting expectations" can be a powerful tool, if used sparingly. It's a little bit like with jump-scares. They can be very effective, too, but when used too often, the audience will get used to it and the jump-scares quickly lose their effect. Similarly, if every expectation is being subverted, the audience will turn their brains off, because thinking and theorizing will no longer be rewarding and fun. It can feel as if the writers were cheating by not giving you any chance to figure it out. The setup needs to be careful and subtle, as to not give away too much, but at the same time deliver enough clues to give the audience a fair chance.

[@MarcAlcatraz]

[@flatebo1]

The failure is in the brain-breakingly idiotic setup of the movie. We're supposed to believe that the government has used literally every available underground space in the nation to construct labs and dormitories for clones of every single inhabitant of the nation? And that no one ever noticed this enormous construction project or the vast resources it would take to keep this "experiment" supplied and operational? This is such a stupefyingly moronic premise that the entire film is nothing but a farce. "Your clone is just like you and does everything exactly like you do because you're psychically linked - except for when they don't do exactly what you do because reasons." If you want an evil clone horror flick, find a setup that isn't imbecilic. And that's not even considering the feeble SJW/woman power bullshit Peele is peddling. Dad takes a glancing blow to the shin at the outset and spends the rest of the movie with a slight limp while being completely ineffectual. All so Mom can be the badass. Nope, not buying it.

One thing about the movie that bothered me was when you saw people riding a ride together, and then underground those same people were "riding a ride" together as well. Hear me out, I understand that the people underground mirror what we do above ground, but eventually there has to be some inconsistencies, like if I get in a car and drive across the country, my doppleganger doesn't have a car underground, so he wouldnt go anywhere, he'd just sit there.

If I walk 10 feet forward, my doppelgänger would walk into the wall and keep walking into the wall until I stop. Then I turn around and walk 10 feet back to my original starting position, but doppelgänger does the same but now he’s 6 feet AWAY from his starting position in the other direction.

I would argue that the ending was so heavily set up and foreshadowed that it was very obvious from the beginning of the film. Once you figured out the ending (many figured it out by the beginning of the film) the movie doesn't really offer anything else, you learn everything the story has to offer after the first home invasion. And because you already know the main actresses character is the shadow, the movie get kind of boring. There is also next to no tension after that first invasion because it feels as though every main character had plot armor. The movie started great , but overall it's just ok.

As world building problem; Who the fuck is funding that underground operation? Maintaining it, feeding bunnies, supplying bunnies, keeping the electricity going etc..

I'll give credit where credit is due, the film IS much better than I first thought, and it's much more cleverly written than the impression I had at first glance, but that's the one aspect I disliked about it. I've seen a lot of people online say that interplay of horror and comedy can help them pace out each other, as in, the spooks are scarier if there is levity between them, and the jokey moments are funnier if they happen after a moment of catharsis (the horror), but I feel that this particular movie suffers because it goes with comedy FAR more than horror, and it's REALLY jarring to see the family have silly and funny moments right after fighting for their lives and seeing their dead friends bloody and cut on the floor. It's almost like the clone attacks don't matter to them, and the deaths of those around them aren't important. I dunno. I feel *some* of the jokey moments could have been replaced with drama.

How did they get all their clothes as they aged? Where did they get the orange jump suits and scissors? And was it just that one town or the whole nation that this event happened in? Because if it was the whole nation, how the hell did they organize that without phones or any communication? Was there literally 300 million people living underground, that no one knew about? If this was some sort of government experiment, why did they just abandon it, and leave 300 million test subjects alive underground? They had to know that was going to go bad? How did the Teatherd manage to take over the whole country, without a single gunshot? What were those helicopters doing at the end? Ok so thats a lot of questions.

For those who say they expected the mother being the double twist from the very beginning, the bigger point of the twist is not that we didn't expect it, but the fact that even if we did, we couldn't be sure that it actually happened because her double ended up living a normal life despite her background. It's not an "aha, gotcha" moment but more of a terrifying confirmation that the doubles could easily pass of as their original.

[@felipeporto5835]

Whats horrifing about it if she lived a normal life, created normal children and had a normal ass family? The clone didnt create any implications in the real world besides nor dancing anymore.

Actually for me, inconsistency did ruin the fear. The shadows of the Wilson family made themselves known and actively toyed with them and allowed the characters to show their strengths and intelligence to survive. However the Tyler family shadows just show up and instantly butcher them. Why didn't the other shadows do that to the Wilson family as well? Because they wanted to give a little exposition? So it sort of downplays and weakens the effectiveness of the survival of the Wilson family. This showed they didn't survive because they were strong and ingenious, but just because they were the main characters. Instead they should have set up a similar premise with the Tyler family and have them die from their flaws or what they lack compared to the Wilson family. The inconsistency didn't ruin the film overall, but it did weaken the fear when you show blatant plot amor.

This isnt really related to anything but the actress that played the mom in this movie has a GREAT face for horror, she looks like she came strait out of a Junji Ito story in some scenes (and I mean that in the best way possible)

[@huntery3568]

...so you decided to say "I'll explain why Us isn't scary!" as your setup, and then subverted expectations by never addressing it?

Damn, you put Scarlet Witch in the thumbnail.

Arnold K. Oh shit I didn’t even realize that was her 😂😂

[@arnold3768]

@@zboy1152 it's probably not, but she looks quite a lot like her...

[@zboy1152]

Arnold K. It’s kinda looks like Elizabeth Olsen in the thumbnail

He scared he going to hurt black people's feelings lol

[@TNT011gaming]

I’m glad you made this because for a while I thought I was the only one who didn’t like this movie for these reasons

[@jmbrignon2712]

So, uh...… Are you ever going to go back to the original topic? Because it seemed interesting. Or is this an example of the Snoke way of subverting expectations?

[@lucofparis4819]

Are you kidding or genuinely lost? Just wondering.

[@jmbrignon2712]

Both I guess? I'm genuinely curious about the first part, while the second part is just a joke.

He died dude

This video subverted my expectations more than any movie i've ever watched

[@diegomouriz3687]

The movie was incredibly interesting but I couldn't help but get pulled out of the story as soon as Red spoke.

[@hteekay]

One main thing I like about this movie and Get Out, it's written with no sequel in mind. That's why it always bring a satisfying end to a story.
