Class solidification is a deeply ingrained social form in the United States

Movies that are selected for the horror label may have low scores in terms of horror coefficient and tension, but in terms of reversal of the plot, they are still good. The beginning of the film is foreshadowing. The heroine's personality changed greatly before and after the disappearance of the amusement park. Her parents asked a psychiatrist to enlighten the heroine. The reason for the big change in his personality is that he entered a strange labyrinth by the beach and saw the exact same self in extreme fear. More than ten years later, the heroine brought her husband and children back to the beach town for vacation, and encountered the revenge of the replicants who climbed out of the sewers. It is necessary to live in the same living conditions as normal people, instead of being a shadow of normal people, living like a puppet in the sewers that see no light, and living a life like a mouse. In the end, the heroine's family succeeded in killing the replicants. When everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the heroine's cold and sharp eyes told the world that after the maze panic, the body and the replicants exchanged identities, and the heroine was a replicator instead, and led the It was the female protagonist who was transferred and imprisoned underground for many years. As the only wise one among the clones, she wanted to take revenge on the clone who took away her original life in her own way, but in the end. Lost to the replicator, was counter-killed.

There seems to be some kind of political implication in the detailed plot. The class is an insurmountable gap. Although the heroine is imprisoned underground, the heroine's wisdom gives her the opportunity to plan a counterattack and has the ability to lead the army of shadow people. But in the end, she was inevitably killed by the humans on the ground, and the shadow replaced the body's life on the ground, so she got something that the shadow people could not get in her entire life. The barrier of class, to take back everything that belongs to oneself, to copy the phrase "We are Americans, just like you", expressing the desire of the people at the bottom for the equal rights of the privileged class, but due to the gap between classes, they can only sigh with admiration. Although the human wall built at the end of the film is magnificent, the ignorant puppets who lose their leaders will eventually be defeated and escape from the heroine's family smoothly. The numb reaction of the clone army gets the biggest hint. Duplicating the crowd without a leader, they can only continue to be puppets, and the people at the bottom can only stay at the bottom, which is sad, deplorable...

    The topic span is much larger than Get Out, and it directly rises to the history and social issues of the entire United States. There are so many details, subtexts, and symbolic metaphors. This obsession even affects the progress of the story, but if you don’t interpret and understand this information, the fun of watching movies will indeed be compromised. The middle-stage chasing scene was a bit discouraged, but it became exciting again when it finally approached the truth. I always feel that Jordan Peele's handling of the horror scenes is still poor, but his own comedy talent, audiovisual control ability and originality injected into horror genres can also make him stand out in the field of horror films in the new era.

But when the shadow was hungry, he had to eat rabbit raw and bloody. On Christmas, the girl received wonderful toys; soft and cushy. But the shadow's toys were so sharp and cold they sliced through her fingers when she tried to play with them. The girl met a handsome prince and fell in love. But the shadow at that same time had Abraham, it didn't matter if she loved him or not. He was tethered to the girl's prince after all. Then the girl had her first child, a beautiful baby girl. But the shadow, she gave birth to a little monster. Umbrae was born laughing. The girl had a second child, a boy this time. They had to cut her open and take him from her belly. The shadow had to do it all herself. She named him Pluto, he was born to love fire.
