Us - The History of Human Civilization in a Movie

An "atypical film" with more content than form. The film is like a pig standing in a suit and leather shoes, talking about a talk show, satire and metaphors are everywhere, and the director also reminds it in many places. I'm either obsessed with every metaphor / allegory, or cursed at what a bad "thriller" the director made, no challenge at all. It wasn't until the film came to an abrupt end that he was thoughtful and lost. Briefly explain your personal understanding. On the big side, the characters in the film are divided into two camps, one is happy and bright, and the other is painful and dark. Until a war broke out between the two sides, it is obvious that this can be explained as the struggle between the ruling class and the ruled class, and it can also be pushed to the isolation, alienation, struggle and hatred between the upper and lower unequal strata of society, such as the "also American" blacks against each other. Dissatisfaction with the treatment of "second-class citizens". "Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance." The oppressed then resisted, fighting for equal treatment. Some people achieve this goal - the heroine. But soon he was "assimilated", turned around and mutilated his original compatriots. There is a dark irony of human nature's selfishness, or a lament about the corruption of power. What is the purpose of the final struggle? How is the result? Different people have different practices in different eras. Violent protests are the mainstay during the night, and peaceful protests during the day. In the same night, it is to replace, and in the daytime, it is to pursue equal treatment. When all the red-clothed people join hands in a line, it is the most straightforward and simple statement. Is this the same origin? How to fry each other? Does this struggle work? This is a question about the future of the human race. The director didn't say anything. Everyone has their own ideas, and it will only be verified by time...

    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.
