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?"
