Which Jordan Peele film do you prefer... Get Out or Us?

[@JamJim]

G.O.

[@reelyintofilm5189]

I prefer get out just for how unique the film is, but I love both of them so much

[@joshuawilliams49]

That's a tough one but if I had to choose I would say US because I loved Lupita Nyong'o performance and the story

[@melmel6521]

I like get out

[@najhoant]

I really loved both, but I’m kind of torn over which I like best; I feel like I remember more of Get Out and it’s become more directly relevant with time (especially given the current situation), but Us has a message that’s more universally applicable

[@vincentvalentin5412]

its a literal crime that Lupita didn't get an oscar nom for this movie.

[@athenajaxon2397]

It really is also the score not getting a nomination it gave me the creeps

@Osman Yousif 👁👄👁👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@averyy6681]

@Osman Yousif the reason for "plot holes" is because it's not technically a logical film , it's a film that symbolizes something , that's why the tether have sisscors , and not guns. Also the tunnels can fit a lot of humans you'd be suprised lol

[@Burto11]

I heard that the scissors were a metaphor for two equal halves united for one purpose, to divide. Also, I heard the idea for get out was 2 souls for 1 body but for Us, it is 2 bodies for 1 soul.

[@janewilson4569]

Josiah Lee okay chills...😮

[@introgeek5278]

They also used the scissors because “Red” still thinks like a child and they would be the most known dangerous weapon to an 8 year old

[@moot5141]

And on top of that the scissors are also so they can cut the 'tethers' between their other side

[@freegadflyathome]

All this and they are literally used to make their red uniforms

[@allier1867]

wooaahhh

[@Zeddyboi86]

When driving and listening to music, Addi wasn’t snapping to the beat properly because she was actually a Tethered. If you notice, when the real kid Addi is in the funhouse and whistling, the whistling we hear back doesn’t go with the original tune.

[@kennedyskyler1409]

WAIT WHAT 😭 but the “real addy” is freaky. the “thethered addy” seems completely normal in the film.

[@dicedbyher]

@@kennedyskyler1409 the real Addy has grown up underground by the rest of the tethered, so of course she wouldn't grow up to be normal, and the tethered one spent her childhood above with counselors and a loving home, so she learned to adapt and assimilate

[@phousefilms]

@@kennedyskyler1409 Tethered Addy was thought to have gone mute because she went through trauma....being separated from her family(and, since we know, seeing her "doppelganger")and was taught to speak again in therapy, as we see in the flashbacks. Really, she was given the life the real Addy had had and taught to speak for the first time(and also why she was so reluctant to return, given she replaced "Red"Addy here.) I also have a theory that real Addy's voice sounds raspy because her voice was unused(none of the other Tethered can speak),or possibly her vocal chords were damaged when she was choked out by the Tethered Addy.

[@BallerMixes]

4:22 "She is not on the beat." -Yeah about that....

[@thedepressedavacado8267]

Was she switched from the beginning or?? I have many many questions 😂

[@emmajohnson7105]

The Depressed Avacado yes, she was switched from the beginning. the real addi was dragged down to the tunnels by her tethered. she was choked and chained to a bed, that’s why the real addi has a raspy voice and can also speak, unlike the other tethered.

[@thedepressedavacado8267]

[@Feelix420]

yeah, they're programming their audiences

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

Every decision is intentional because every decision we make in any context is intentional, but that's not the same thing as everything having some additional deeper meaning, some sort of subtextual clue. You'll see videos trying to say things like "so-and-so is wearing this color because it reminds you of this other thing in the film that's the same color," when it's entirely possible that the director just thought it looked good. People often make the mistake of assuming that the director thinks like they do. Just because you can draw connections or meanings doesn't mean that THOSE meanings were what the director intended to be perceived. And if you are actually capable of being programmed by a movie, Mr. Erectile Dysfunction, that speaks pretty poorly of you.

[@rafaelnavarro6072]

When the family first gets to the cabin and they are sitting at the table eating lunch, the kids and the dad are eating chicken and Adelaide is eating strawberries. At first, it just looks like she is being healthy until you find out that the shadow people underground were forced to eat rabbits raw and bloody making her hate meat thus why she eats the fruit instead of the chicken. Adelaide only wears white clothing but slowly over the course of the film, her clothes get more and more bloody and red revealing her true identity as "Red" the shadow version. In the beginning with the TV showing commercial for Hands Across america, there are VHS tapes and two of them are "C.H.U.D" (80's movie about underground mutants that attack from the sewers" and "The Man With Two Brains" In the beach scene, in the beginning, Jason is wearing a "Jaws" shirt which is a monster that lurks beneath the humans waiting to attack.

[@robynmcswain3796]

Rafael Navarro wow I never caught her eating strawberries. I’m going to watch this movie again to see what I catch the next time. I also love your analysis.

[@jasondaniels640]

Yeah, nice one

[@Jordan-bk3vd]

I love how you noticed her and her son not being on beat with the snapping to the song like the whistling at the beginning. All these small details make it such a great movie. And the theory about her son also being tethered from the year before

[@yeeyeebubba1885]

Right it’s crazy how much of the film community and quite a bit of people are underestimating how good this is, seems like that’s been the case for many horror movies over years, definitely an amazing film and deserved a Oscar nom for female lead and score

[@stuckwbtob]

i dont get this theory about the son being tethered too :/

[@Allonsy305]

"Us" has SO many Easter Eggs: • The noise that Abraham (tethered Gabe) was yelling at on the boat was the tethered white dad. (When he gets on his boat when fighting Gabe he then makes that same noise) • When Red was explaining the story, she says when Ombre (tethered Zora) and Pluto (tethered Jason) ombre was born laughing (she died laughing) and Pluto was born in fire (he died in fire), it also explains why Adelaide had been upset when the tethered kids died. • Looking back at the movie, knowing that the tethered Adelaide was the one we were following, it explains why she was willing to handcuff herself, why she looked more freaked out than her family, why she was so paranoid bc she knew the real Adelaide was always coming for her. Also. The Thriller t-shirt is not only a reference to how the music video ended, but how the film itself will end. • The government wanted the tethered to control the above ground ppl, yet the opposite happened, except for Red & Adelaide. •there are countless Horror movie references like for example the son, Jason. He wears a mask a lot & his mother was a killer

[@GiffTunes]

Teon Quant There’s another one in the beginning of the movie. They’re talking about a carnival in Santa Carla, the fictional town from the Lost Boys.

[@Micheal93k]

Also when she is trying to get Jason on beat to the song in the car. She is off beat herself. Because she's a tethered. When Red walks up to the door of the house to pick up the hide a key. She is whistling itsy bitsy spider the correct way like she did at the beginning of the movie.

[@rafaelnavarro6072]

@@GiffTunes The first scene takes place at the same beach and same amusement park as "The Lost Boys" and when Adelaide and her parents are walking down the boardwalk, the mom says "You know they’re shooting a movie over there by the carousel.” which is a nod to "The Lost Boys"

[@jeianagtas3699]

The amazing thing I learned from this movie is that voice lupita does on her evil version. It is a real thing when a person experiences a really traumatic thing, it messes their voice to the extend that they completely lose it. She studied about it and applied it to her character like a fucking queen that she is.

[@Sam-0827]

Lupita is the definition of talent. She's inspirational

[@lectornox]

She's so beautiful too

[@JerASMR]

OR the reason why the real Adelaide has difficulty in speaking, was because the evil version of her destroyed (by strangling) her voice box when they switched.

[@jeianagtas3699]

@@JerASMR That's a good theory. But the trauma arc is actually explained in an interview and for me, it is a better portrayal of the character as it changes your perspective of who the real character is.

[@Miki_vaniki]

Now that I think about it, her being the actual tether would explain how she knew exactly how where to go in the tunnels. She basically went right to the underground place with no instruction.

[@samkelly4132]

Yeah, when she did that I got so confused Like “you’re looking for your son! Check those rooms!” “Wait why turn that way?” “how did you know she would be there?” And by the end I was like OH CAUSE SHES BEEN THERE BEFORE!

[@DariusFrench6273]

Jordan Peele further escalates horror on a psychological level, elevating “Us” to a funny, thought-provoking and mentally terrifying exhibit of a well-crafted, dread-inducing, slow burning Tethered nightmare. There are so many ways that one person can interpret the events that transpired in this movie and it proves how so much can be accomplished with the right amount of leverage and creativity. Peele manages to find the right amount of horror and comedy and blend them in seamlessly to where no aspect really outshines the other. The crazy level of suspense has an infinite buildup literally up to the last stretch of the movie with a story that keeps subverting expectations and antagonists that are bound to give me nightmares every time I have to look at myself in the mirror. The cast was really good but it was Lupita Nyong’o who delivered an Oscar worthy performance here. I was so ashamed that she didn’t, at least, get nominated for an Oscar after what she did here. My only gripe about this film is that M.Night Shymalan ending twist. With this massive success, Jordan Peele proves that Get Out was no fluke. He could very well be the new face of modern-day horror cinema if he keeps this up. And this is the same guy who’s hosting the new Twilight Zone and considering a live-action Gargoyles movie. Sign me up right now, please.

[@meridzs]

us was released in 2019 so it would've been in the 2020 oscars. lupita wasn't nominated for best actress

[@voodoochile333]

Have you heard of the word "brevity"?

[@charlesbukowski3460]

When Lupita kills one of the twins, that for me was when it was confirmed that she was one of them. When she first tells the story of the mirror room, that's the first hint that she was one of them. (Her story didn't add up. If she didn't know where the exits were... how was she suddenly able to escape her "shadow" in the mirror room once they saw each other. Surely if you were trapped/lost in that house of mirrors there's no way you could've suddenly found an exit once you conveniently needed it)

[@casualpotato44]

If i'm not mistaken the "We are Americans" is (if not, one of) the thesis statement of the movie. The entire film is an allegory for American social class disparity. The title of the movie is "Us" but it could also be interpreted as "U.S." as in United States. Of America, ofc. The entire movie, the Wilsons are envious of the possessions of the more well to do Tyler family. And their surnames are apparently a reference to a classical literary novel. Just like in Bong Joon Ho's Parasite, the middle class family covets what the upper class family haves and that makes them blind that there are more sinister elements at play right under them. That's just one interpretation and there are lots of deep dive analyses of this movie that are super worth the watch and they can explain it futher and clearer than me. Ps. Also, the Tethered's weapons of choice are scissors, because scissors are pairs of blades that are tethered in the middle. Just like their relationship of sharing one soul with their doubles in the above.

[@troymeetsboy]

Hahahahaha m

[@FunnyChrisSZN]

True

[@malifex9922]

Incidentally, when you realize that Red and Adelaide are in opposite roles, it's actually the real Adelaide that's saying "We're Americans," which is true. She grew up as an American until she was captured. It's actually one of the movie's first hints that she's the "real" Adelaide.

[@dejavoodu521]

It was based off of an episode of The Twilight Zone. Something that should be noted.

[@miekaeh7789]

the first time i watched this movie when Adelaide was killing one of the doppelgangers i literally called that she was the tethered and it is to this day my proudest achievement

[@Sam-0827]

😂😂😂

[@kennedyskyler1409]

she doesnt act like tethered 😭 each family has their own characteristics so its kind of shocking that the real addy isnt a tethered

[@Des_Zee]

I liked Us much more than get out because I felt Jordan Peele bought back the classic horror film with the phycological twist. Plus it had some funny moments too.

[@CorrectFossa]

So for reference to non-Americans: Hands across America was a performative charity event in the 80s where a continuous group of people held hands from the Pacific to Atlantic oceans to raise awareness of homelessness and poverty in America. Actually did very little to fight poverty and was widely forgotten about afterwards. It’s a really important reference for the themes of this movie.

I worked in the "Us" house at Halloween Horror Nights this past year, and you'd think that'd ruin the movie for me, but it actually made me love it even more. Now when I'm watching it, it feels like I'm very intimately familiar with all of the sets and costumes to the point where it almost feels like I lived in these sets.

[@RationallySassy]

Now that I've watched your reaction it was great to see all of the metaphors and hints (which you don't realize are hints until after watching the film) you caught! Like the snapping off beat, the rabbits out of their cages, hands across america, etc. As I said earlier I prefer Get Out but only because it felt more grounded in a way. There were moments in US where the characters reactions seemed very random and not normal (maybe there is a reason for that - people online/real life not taking serious matter seriously maybe). Plus we don't have a lot of answers in comparison to G.O, and it had a more formal ending. This movie didn't. So it's hard to feel satisfied and that we know what might happen - which is okay. US had a lot of potential and I think it slightly missed the mark but was still a really brilliant and entertaining film.

[@bigmikem1578]

“She is the monster”......

[@pinkredsun0707]

My favorite symbol is Hands Across America and the fact that the Tethered do it themselves. I saw a youtuber analyze this and they said that Hands Across America was a prime example of how the upper classes make events and fundraisers to seem like they're helping the impoverished but don't actually do anything at all. Also, she says "We're Americans" because they are saying that they are American- they were made by the US government, abandoned like the poor: forced to live in terrible circumstances because of the governments negligence. Us is amazing because the only difference between the normal family and the tethered is their circumstances. No one could tell Red was impersonating Addie because they were actually the same on the inside, but somehow different because of where they came from.

19:54 probably already a comment about this but I think after watching the movie (it was awhile ago) it was alluded to that the son was kidnapped the same way the mom was? Think he was maybe taken during his closet incident and he knows that his mom is the doppelgänger? Can’t be say with 100% certainty cuz I’ve only watched it once, but I think essentially from the start of the movie the mom and son are both “underworlders”. Think it was part of the keeping beat part in the intro car ride as well.

[@JJ-ik1sf]

When the dad is trying to convince the mam to let the family go to the beach he says that the son hasn't been the same since last year when his grandmother died OR maybe its because he got switched. also he can't remember the magic trick because it was the doppelgänger who knew the trick and it led to him burning his face

[@TJUC123]

Red was always on beat with music and everything. Addie was never on beat because she was tethered. Since Red (the real Addie) wasn’t tethered, she could whistle “The Itsy Bitsy Spider” and snap to the beat of music. But Addie (the original Red) was the complete opposite. It’s a lot to take in. 😂😂😂

i commented this on another us review and this isn’t my thought but i thought it was cool (thanks to stefan_marin09 on twitter) i also saw something about how the 4 family members represent the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) : -adelaide (earth) bc she is the only one who was born on earth and knows the way down to the underground land -gabe (water) he is obsessed with his boat aka a form of water transportation, and his tether abraham dies in the water -zora (air) she is in track and a popular saying for runners is “run like the wind” (yes i know it’s a reach but it kinda fits) -jason (fire) kinda obvious, he’s obsessed with the match magic trick, pluto’s face is burned from his “trick actually working, when the tethered family first enters the house pluto is the one to light the fireplace, and he later dies by jason walking him backwards into a fire just a thought i kinda enjoyed

Love your videos!

[@KingOrest]

Haven't seen the actual movie... read the script. Loved it. Love your commentary

[@zoe-bi9up]

HAHAHA the owl got me twice too! literally out of the entire movie, i think i jumped the most when the owl popped out lol

[@addisonstudios5536]

Nics and Nacs: Is this animal testing on bunnies? Me: I wish...

[@chrislawson1988]

Loved us so cool and funny cool concept this got me interested in doppelgangers again I seen so many videos on this talking about the meanings and the concept

[@christinalittleton3771]

When I saw the movie (recently on TV), I can't help but wonder about the Tethered. What happens to them now? Jason looks like he knows about his mom, but does he accept "her"? Would "her" husband accept "her"? Would "her" family accept her? I'm not really sure how Jordan Peele feels about sequels, but if he did make one, would Jason and his "mother" keep their secret or would the secret be left out in "breadcrumb form" for "her" family?

[@richardbuckendorf1390]

Loved your reaction.... if I could gage a suggestion: bunnies usually live underground. The "tethered" do the same. Think about if you had to live in the air. You're primary source of food would be whatever was sky bound. Birds, and wayward balloons would likely be your nutrition

[@CalebWatchesMovies]

I don't scare easily, but I woke up the night after watching this movie with an anxiety attack because I thought my doppelgänger was there going to kill me.

[@anirenart8422]

Caleb Watches Movies literally me lmao. After watching this morning I had a nightmare about this movie, though I’m a person who rarely has dreams about whatever I just saw

[@abik1776]

I have an identical twin, so I avoided her at night lol

[@CountryLuver001]

My thoughts on why the tethered suddenly aren't forced to mirror their upper-world counterparts, is because of the fact Adelaide is a huge shake up in the structure of the tethered. She was not bound by the restrictions since she isn't one and thus broke the cycle. It's an interesting commentary that all it takes is one person to change everything.

[@RationallySassy]

I personally liked Get Out more than this film, however after watching this one a few times I understood and appreciated it a bit more (since I was kind of disappointed after the first time due to the out of place humor and such imo).Now onto watch your reaction!

[@aussiescumbag964]

Get out was def better your right

[@voodoochile333]

Get out was just a.copy of society and Stepford wives. But I guess if you don't know anything about film.....

[@alexkaen1701]

The movie was interesting, but shouldn't have gone the Sci-Fi route. It doesn't work when you think things through, such as "Why was her double at the beach when she was only visiting for vacation? Did Red run back and forth through the tunnels to live under her actual hometown?" "How does the protagonist remember what happened before she was switched, when that would have been Red's memories?" They should have gone full Fantasy with Changelings or something similar.

[@evilkitty2007]

White rabbit: alice in wonderland, through the looking glass, didn't notice the Jeremiah 11:11 guy because we don't pay attention to the homeless, they offer the tethered material things because they live in a world where all anyone could want is stuff, they want the material things from their neighbors when they die because they still only care about looking like they have stuff and money, Adelaide can't hurt the kids because we protect our children at all costs even at our own expense until they're in real danger, Liz called the police and the thing answered for her 'f the police' cause they came straight from the underground. :D

[@yumekojabami233]

Many people had this theory that the kids in the red suits were actually the kids from the doppelgänger that disguised herself as the real Adelaide on the surface but that wouldn't make sense since they have been switched as little kids so the kids are actually the ones that they gave birth to individually.

[@MrLogic88]

A lot of times we tend to view people who are different from us as inferior or strange (homeless people, lower class, etc) , so the we're Americans line is showing us how we're more alike than we think. We all live in this country, we're all Americans regardless of our social class.

[@Jake-nd4gx]

I love this movie and prefer it slightly to Get Out, on a side note I binged Dark after seeing one your videos about it, super stoked for season 3 only one week away!

I wonder what Jordan’s third film will be? I’m very much looking forward to it if it’s similar in style and creepiness to the first two, also was the back of the boat called b-yacht-ch

[@Paul20661]
