Cut the continuous connection

A good movie always reveals the secrets of human nature, prompting the audience to reflect on human nature. US is one of the few.

US, in the movie, the shadow side says we're American. We are Americans. Another abbreviation for the United States is United States, and united states can also allude to the state of union. The shadow side and the sunny side of Adelaide share one soul, two sides of one body, two states of the same soul body.

As far back as 1986, the young Adelaide entered a playground and went on a journey of self-discovery (find yourself). The source of the exploration was a creation myth. In Indian mythology, the first god escaped into nothingness. Exhausted space, spiderwoen (Spider Woman) was created to maintain the material world and allow the material world to flourish.

At this time, little Adelaide was kidnapped by the dark side himself into the underground world, handcuffed to the bed with iron cuffs, and watched the other party go out wearing his own clothes. It's like an angel falling into hell. She was wearing a Trans-America sweatshirt at the time, the only thing she brought from above. The thought passed down inside becomes the thought of the entire underground world. In the dance, she brought life to the dead underworld, and all the people of the underworld followed her.

She is the only person in the world who can speak. Since no one has entered or exited this world before, the people inside are unconsciously manipulated by the people above, and move with the people above, like shadows.

Shadows are the only things in the world that can overlap, shadows are followers. When the shadow part of Little Adelaide reaches the sunshine world and in turn manipulates the underground world, the ideas and thoughts in the sunshine world also enter the underground world, and the underground world understands the existence of the above world and knows that there is a Symbiosis, enjoying the same soul. So under Adelaide's plan, kill themselves on the ground, take everything from them, and then start a joint movement across the United States, three decades late.

The shadow-side self, although doing the same action as above every day, doesn't know what it means. When I saw my husband in Adelaide wearing glasses, I knew what the movements I often did mean. But there is confusion in many places, such as surgery on the face, which is done by a professional with anesthesia, while underground is done by yourself. So there is the ridiculous act of slicing the face with scissors for cosmetic surgery. When Adelaide had her second child, she knew she was operating on herself.

Because the latter's sense of self-independence is not yet strong, Adelaide's youngest son used this to manipulate the other self, making him keep retreating, and finally died in the sea of ​​​​fire.

Adelaide's daughter also killed her underground clone, because the latter had no concept of the speed and impact of the material world. In the end, he was hit by a car, broke his spine, hung upside down on a branch, vomited blood and died.

Adelaide's husband killed his avatar mostly by luck. Those under the sun knew the danger and the fear of life and death, while the people below did not develop such a habit of rational thinking. In the end, he was crushed by the propeller and died.

Of course Adelaide must also kill its other counterpart. In the final battle, the shackles in his hands wrapped around the opponent's throat and strangled to death. The only voice representing the shadowy side of the subterranean was extinguished.

We can think from another level

A person's understanding of the world depends on the environment.

Although people on the ground have perceptual knowledge and rational knowledge. What makes the two different is the environment. When human beings were created, they were no different from plants and animals, and people at that time did not have the concept of you and me. When the mind starts to work, it pays extra attention to the mental imagery.

The world of images has been independent of the material world for a long time. Since there is no real object, everything speaks to itself and becomes unreasonable. So the following people are crazy.

On the other hand, people in the material world above have been trapped in material thinking for a long time, completely forgetting that there is an inner self that cannot be described in words, a subconscious self, and will desperately deny their existence, and the subconscious realizes The beauty of the material world, while compromising with the material world, occupies another resource that oneself enjoys.

The screenwriter of this film is very familiar with the activities of the human subconscious. Created an opportunity for connection, this opportunity, the image of hell kidnapped and pretended to be a living person. Let the living people enter hell, and the residual rationality of the living people, guided by the unity of the soul, shows extremely powerful talents. After getting the approval of all the images, I have prepared for a long time to return to the original world. , and then brought hell to the world.

On the other hand, the hell people who pretended to be living people learned to protect themselves, found the value of their own existence in dance, won everything they dreamed of, and became a heroic mother in the process of fighting. She understands everything, but doesn't say anything. Everything happened in silence, unfolded secretly in coincidence, died in madness, and buried all truth in silence.

    Compared to Camp’s genre concept of "Desperate Town", the conception of "clone" invasion in this work is undoubtedly advanced. However, tearing away the surface of this humorous class political prophecy has plagued the entire United States of history and reality. The situation and the so-called "differences" that are not partial to any unipolar party (from this perspective, the boring reversal of the ending undoubtedly meets the need to avoid suspicion after the joke). The identity is innocent and lively but boldly exposes the humorous hysteria caused by the inferiority of the self, but the taste of this work is mostly flat in the shallow layer of the melodrama (the Samuel Fuller-style underground corridor should have played a larger and more meaningful referential role ), as the carefully arranged unsolvable draws have become a pseudo-sociology aimed only at the body of the predecessor (the false and dazzling concrete spectacle that symbolizes class antagonism and border separation is actually an out-of-control expression transmission) optimization continuation, only In terms of "appearance", he handled the contradiction between stupidity and serious embarrassment more satisfactorily.

    4.0| Too boring, the pace is very slow, the reversal is also boring, the metaphor is shallow. The essence is in the trailer, but I am so looking forward to it!
