I understand what you're trying to say to me, but I can't get it

Compared with the last "Escape from Breakthrough", which talked about race and skin color, "US" has a larger world view and pattern, talking about social class (and a little bit of race).

In "Breakthrough", I learned some characteristics of the director - good control of the rhythm of the film, excellent shaping of the thriller atmosphere, like awkward humor (compliment), and like to make a reversal at the end.

When the same routine rose from race to life class, "US" made me feel that the director couldn't control such a big world view, the story was too flat, and the whole film used two very long dialogues to explain what happened (one is The dialogue between the heroine and her husband, and the other is the dialogue between the heroine and her avatar), with fights and escapes interspersed in the middle.

For me, this movie is a metaphor, and it is a metaphor. Mirrors, red clothes, golden scissors, piles of rabbits, cut rabbit dolls, son masks, which represent the avatars constantly appearing... There are too many metaphors, too obvious, too greedy. Very upset.

1. The white family and the protagonist's family were both in the upper middle class and were killed so quickly. Is there any race here?

2. Does the mask the son has been wearing means that he has something to hide, and the avatar's face is full of scars.

3. Rabbit, expresses human's desire for cloning and the existence of avatars in this world.

4. The ending is inexplicably reversed.

5. Too many bugs have not been rounded up, and it seems that I have a heart attack.

6. The embarrassing acting skills of several actors caused the director to add humorous elements like ?, not funny at all.

Finally, I know what you're going to say about social class, but labor and capital don't understand a fucking word!

To borrow a sentence from a film review: "It's a great metaphor?"

    【A】Oscar BW reservation. --"What are you people?" --"We are Americans." America, that is, United States, that is, US, "we". In terms of racial issues, Get Out uses black-and-white contrast to [direct] shooting, while Us uses black-black contrast to [fold] shooting: From an early age to replace the real "shadow" with a good growth environment, he will grow up and be born. The people on the earth are the same. This is a stark question of white sovereignty—is your high social status really because you were born better than us? When the "shadow" of a woman who has feminist thoughts but also undergoes plastic surgery in order to be beautiful, scratches her face with a knife, another meaning of "we" also appears: the real body (external) life is bright and beautiful, the shadow ( The inner) spiritual world is empty. Isn't this just saying "us"? Jordan Peel is not only a director who can play otherworldly movies, he is also an original speculator.

    The setting is casual to be too lazy to be round, and the scare point is quite old, but the atmosphere is so good I was scared in the cinema (.

Us quotes

  • Kitty Tyler: Ophelia, call the police.

    Ophelia: OK. Playing "Fuck tha Police" by N.W.A.

  • Red: Once upon a time, there was a girl and the girl had a shadow. The two were connected, tethered together. And the girl ate, her food was given to her warm and tasty. 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. So you see, the shadow hated the girl so much for so long until one day the shadow realized she was being tested by God.
