Jordan Peele new movie "Us" - updated with trailer (contains spoilers)

Hearing a lot of mixed reviews on this one
yeah, to be expected. There are some plot holes, but it doesn't take away from how good the movie is (IMO). Some people may have just missed small details. But it's one of those movies that when you finish watching, you'll start to analyze every scene and then it all comes together. Those are the types of movies i appreciate. Shit that makes me think after. I saw it thursday night and i'm stilling going over it in my head

If it was a failed and abandoned government experiment where were they getting clothes and food? Was "Red" getting it for everyone? Were the tethered having sex and giving birth just like the above ground people?

I think the boy may have been switched as he was panicking so much when stuck in the closet and it took him back to being underground. But I didn't understand the point of him wearing a mask.

Read my post above about the son.
Red explained how they gave birth. It was one of the first things she said when she spoke.
 
i guess we can start posting spoilers now. Most people are are probably seeing it tonight, so i will still use tags.
nothing happened to the kid when he went to the bathroom, when he came out, he saw the double of the man that was standing at the gate when Lupita first went into the mirror house (the guy with 11:11 on his head). He killed his double, which is the body they saw when they arrived at the beach. the man was standing there with blood dripping from his hands, he was the first to get a kill and was standing there waiting for the others to join hands. The son was taken by Red, and it is assume that during that time, Red told him the truth about his mother, hence the look he gives her at the end.

Nah, can’t have been nothing -
the boy was too calm when he got back.
 
Agreed. This video has an interesting theory along the lines of what you are and I thinking.



Whoa! This one went past me...

I didn't get the frisbee either, what's the deal with that shit?

Also, I think they were eating the rabbits, although that doesn't seem to be practical

Ok. I can believe this. But, there are a lot of questions about it. How does the double get to the top to make the change? How was the double able to speak? There is no evidence that suggest Jason had any type of treatment or went thru a period where he didn't talk. Jason is the way he is because he is mixed with tether and regular. But hey, I wouldn't totally dismiss this theory. That's the great thing about the movie.

they were eating the rabbits for food. it's not a hard stretch to think where they got clothes. it was a facility for clones after all.

But my question is if they are tethered to do what the above ground person does is there a point where they can feed themselves? I'm just confused as to when the control ends and begins.

Why he can speak is explained on the YouTube video. His mom could have taught him

Nah, i can't see it happening based off that explanation. If that's the case, the tethered got out a year before, so why didn't anything happen? How did he get out? The vid is saying that during the fire, the double dragged Jason back down below and took his place. There is absolutely no evidence of this and it sounds like just a theory. i don't think he was swapped at all. I think he just acts weird because he has both genes.

Lol. His sister had both genes too.

Personally the reason I think he is a double is he was too calm with what he saw at the beach which was clearly something horrible
 
Two bodies tethered to one soul. Lowpita became LUPita.

Initially, Lowpita was not evolved enough to speak nor did she know the surface ways. She had to learn. but even down below she was more independence than the other clones.

After Lupita was abducted she was left below where she devolved.

The original Lowpita became the Soul Controller over time.

Low and Lu are tethered so they both had a degree of compassion for both sets of children. Lup let the girl run away and let the boys play.

They didn't just come in and slaughter like the other clones.

The original and the clone are tethered. the influences go both ways. The bottom boy was obsessed with fire because of the surface boy. The surface boy was obsessed with mask because the underground boy had to cover his disfigurement.

Best BGOL assessment so far. But what do you think about that look the boy gave Lu at the end in the car...does he know shes Low?

I think he was swapped before. Remeber he found the magic trick that was left the last time they were there, but he couldn't remeber how to do it. That would also explain his weird usage of "kiss my anus" because, if it was a short period of time, he would still be trying to grasp the concept of speaking phrases. Also why would the clone be obsessed with matches and fire, they wouldn't know about it.

The clone does everything the original does. It's not about what they know. They are like shadows.

I understand that. Where would he get the matches to burn himself. Remember, they ate the rabbits raw, so I assume they didnt have access to fire.
