At the beginning, the score for following this drama was 6.9, and it dropped to 6.5 in less than two weeks. I went to see it yesterday, and my peers said that the protagonist is full of "protagonist aura", but that's not the case in my opinion. If you have seen Jordan Peele's other works, you may have more in-depth thinking about this show. For example, one of his most famous works, "Get Out", Jordan seems to be keen to shoot black-themed movies, probably because he is black himself.

From the perspective of the development of the plot, it really takes a little brain to understand the movie. If you just enjoy the thriller plot, you will basically evaluate the film as a bad movie. There are many metaphorical parts in the film, such as the caged rabbit in the prelude and the rabbit running around in the basement at the end, the red little people holding hands and the "shadows" in the underground come to the ground to carry out hand in hand activities.

Personally, I think this movie not only reflects racial issues, but also class contradictions. People living underground symbolize the lower class, while people living on the ground are a higher class. They look bright, but they are actually vulnerable. , was easily solved by the shadows with a pair of scissors.

As for the heroine who has never had a dog leash, I think it is a foreshadowing left by the director. If you watch carefully, you should also be full of doubts about the heroine. How did she get back to the real world? Why didn't you say a word after returning? Why did you suddenly give up your beloved dance? Why the shadow could have killed her but never did it, so that the heroine had many chances to escape? The film later answers these questions all at once.

I think everyone can see different things in movies: class conflicts, racial issues, even human nature. But what you see depends on your heart, your brain, your experience, not your eyes.
