- Jordan Peele leaped into the horror scene with the acclaimed Get Out. His follow-up, Us, is even more risk-taking, scare-making, and sin-having.
Next week: Recent family film sins, recent-ish horror film sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin! Which movie's sins should we expose next?!

Ah, scissors, two copies coming together to divide
Jesus I can't believe how much symbolism I missed. You've brought up a good point
WHOA OKAY
I wanna like your comment so bad for your genius, but it's perfectly at 699. Extra nice
Damn
Genius.
I just realized that this move is the opposite of Get Out. this movie is about two bodies and one soul. while Get Out is about two souls and one body
B r u h. Thats so....... DEEP
I never really thought of it like that
Dayum.... Thats deep asf from you and him.. 😵👹🤘
😲
Incorrect
So when that twist at the end happened, my first thought was that it doesnt really change anything. Regardless of the fact that Adelaide was a soulless tethered the whole time and Red was the human, it doesnt change the fact that Adelaide grew up, had a family and was attacked. Whichever version of herself she is, she's still the good guy, but I'm starting to realise thats kinda the whole point right? Its not the tethered that are evil, but the circumstances in which they were raised. Given the opportunity to thrive in the real world, Adelaide's tether became a normal person. Jordan Peele you genius. Social commentary about how people arent born evil, its all down to the environment, the opportunities they are presented with, and the choices they make...
She is still evil tho
I mean.... she strangled the original's neck so hard that she damaged her vocal chord permanently when she was a kid
@@ericsevo7997 That actually kinda reinforces my point in a way. Coming straight from the underground, Adelaide performs the evil action, then grows up in the real world and becomes something of a normal human being. Despite being the innocent child, Red's life in the underground twisted her into the murderer that she becomes. Each version of her was only evil due to the time they spent down there.
(Also I never clicked on that being choked was the reason she spoke like that, it was one of the things I wondered about, maybe I missed it or maybe I just didnt put it together haha)
The twist was lazy and added nothing to the message of the movie.
I just assumed it was a metaphor about having to confront the darkest parts of yourself in order to find yourself.
@@SomeGuyCalledJack She spoke like that because she never had to speak again, for YEARS. They all have that raspy voice but she's the only one who had fully learned english.
Jordan Peele's next movie is gonna be Help.
Help
Us
Get out
😳😳😳
Christian Nielsen you might’ve done something
Acronym for hug? :)
(Gasps) A hidden message .
Holy crap!!!!
Watching him sin a movie that he actually thoroughly enjoyed is always entertaining
RvrStyxRasputin right? Like when he did Ex Machina. I’d never even heard of it till he made a video on it. But it was good.
Exactly, why do they spend so much time on movies that are objectively shitty instead of sinning the countless incredible films out there?
@@lucasmiller2456 Becasue people still thinks he is super serious about his sins. and then they will bitch, moan, and complain about the sins, and try so hard to make excuses to why the sins should not be sins etc. Then at the end they just insult him for no reason.
Just look at the comments on his Infinity war video, bunch of Stans not understanding jokes.
DigitalHeliumJumper he does use actual criticism in his recent videos and he has a tendency to point things out on the screen
@@DigitalHeliumJumper No, a lot of people liked when the ratio was more like 80% critique, 20% jokes. Now it's more the other way around. Plus, sins that are nit picky, or are things that are explained in the movie... sometimes in the very scene he is sinning, is simply not funny. It's stupid, and lazy.
Why don't you stop white knighting fanboy. See, it's not hard to make personal attacks. Difference is that I actually said something worth saying, you were talking out your a** and said nothing of any value at all.
Fun fact: also the daughter has a t-shirt with the word “rabbit” written in Vietnamese - thỏ. Jordan Peele just couldn’t resist it I guess.
I believe the whole rabbit thing is related to the rabbits in Get Out.
In Get Out, Peele purposely put in the song Run Rabbit Run, as it's believed to be a racist song from the 40's, and he used it as a metaphor for the history of African Americans.
So I think that's the whole metaphor of rabbits in his movies
Yes
@@migaish_ so I never seen any of these movies, so what does the rabbit mean?
@@astrowolvez I believe it's a symbol of racism. Jordan Peele himself is African American, and likes to display AA history in his films, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a reoccurring symbol throughout his movies
Wow!
Wow, it just dawned on me that the Thriller reference is foreshadowing the actual plot of the movie. At the end of the Thriller video, Michael’s character turned out not to be what he seemed to be, and that’s what happened in this film. Don’t know how I didn’t pick up on that immediately after seeing the ending.
Why did I JUST NOW realize this?
HOLY FUCK YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND
Should've gotten a sin for there being an massive underground area right next to an ocean, and in California for Christs sake
Depends how far inland.. Look up China Lake Base
@@dallymoo7816 ive been to that amusement park it is at most 70 feet from the water
well it could actually work if the tunnels and boiler rooms keeps my getting farther and farther away from the shore. but like idk how someone didn’t find the tethered or if someone payed them to keep quiet, cause someone had to have found that weird tunnel system before
@@cccant6635 it's an allegory, you're not supposed to take it at face value 🤦🏿♂️
love how he refers to him as M’Baku that made it ten times better
mollowo I didn’t know that M’Baku was in this movie.
M'Baku is honestly a great actor. He isn't acting like Jordan in the movie, it was the way he auditioned and he made him keep it that way.
Lunatic Gaming plus I found out that the woman who played Naika in Black Panther is Adelaide and Red.
Ahhhhwahhh. Are you done? Are..are..are you done?!? Lol
Lol
If the tethered were in jumpsuits the whole time it would’ve made more sense than them having real clothes
Yeah but adelaide wouldnt see someone exactly like her
@@Chris-rg6nm You nailed it.
Very true but Key probably couldn't find a way to do that and not spell out what's going on any further than the finished product already did.
@@Mr_Zetha lmao stop defending poor writing
SOOOO F-ING TRUE I HAVE BEEN THINKING THIS THE WHOLEEE TIME
The real Adelaide complained that they could only eat raw rabbit, as if they didn't have the tools to make fire. So... how was one of her sons an arsonist that managed to burn his own face?
You forget that she broke free as a teenager and was able to manipulate and teach the other clones how to also break free.
I thought that the reason the kid had a scar was because the doppelgänger had to preform a c section on herself
@@Lana-mw8gj nah it's definitely supposed to be burn scars
You're acting like the tethered would even think to do that ? The scientist clearly made sure that the tethered would be able to eat whatever the scientist chose
They are brainless kinda. They're mind slaves to a girl who only had like 6 years of human experience
when I watched the film I thought it was ok, the only thing that annoyed me is when the clone explains to her the rules of the tethered in that classroom. When they both know they switched, so like, why explain something you know you know both know... Ooooh easy world building and explanations for the audience. ofc
But She didn’t rimember at that time, right ?
I assumed she had blocked it out.
They didn't know they switched, they had both forgotten that. That's why the mom is shocked at the end when she finally remembers that she was originally a tethered.
@@HarshDude126 they were NOT forgotten. She remembered exactly how to get down there and the other one knew how to get out so wtf movie were you watching?
@Johnny Fry I think youre the dumb one. She remembered exactly how to get down there and the other one knew how to get out so wtf movie were you watching?
CinemaSins: Movie Sin Tally: 69 (Nice)
Us: Nice

You forgot about her tethered putting on the thriller shirt when they both had one on when she chocked her.
She probably got rabbit blood on it. Idk lol it didn't make sense but again it's mindless tether.
The thriller shirts were not identical. The copy's was more like smudges that were similar to the original graphic tee but there was no real picture or words on it.
@@StankFoe Thats racist, it had the vietnamese word for rabbit on it.
Thought it was mirror reflection
@@Apryll. babe wrong shirt lol ur talking about the daughters and they're talking about the thriller t-shirt from the carnival
Sin for the trailer: they absolutely shouldn’t have included the scene at the beginning of young Adelaide choking young Red, because the fact that they cut away from that scene in the actual movie without showing the choking scene from the trailer is a HUGE spoiler for anyone paying enough attention.
Yeah, unfortunately Peele doesn't have a say over trailers. Studios always just send certain footage to trailer houses and they decide
You forgot one
The escalator going down into the tunnels only went down so did Adelaide have to run up the escalator to get out?
Ramen Noodles Exactly
Tea
She fly
“To get out” you definitely made it pun intended
@@topher2048 I know this is random (and hard to explain properly), but i
have something to say:
...I am gathering people for a good cause - to make
youtube better, by reporting and flagging content
that is harmful and/or sexist and/or racist and/or whatnotelse.
I have done this for years, with success, but
thanks to CZcams getting worse and worse
and thanks to some petty people
using the report-system for petty-revenge
(report someone who does not like the tv-show
you like or somethin') it all got worse.
So now, as YT needs higher numbers of reports
to take Action, i made a Wiki.
Here, i hope i can do good by giving people
the Links leading directly to bad people that
can then be reported:
So here: linkprojectforthesakeofeveryone.fandom.com/wiki/Link-Project_Wiki
Should’ve gotten a sin off for Lupita Nyong’o’s performance and “I’ve Got 5 On It”woven creepily into the score
definitely needed a sin off for the pas de deux dance/fight sequence. my god. i'd never been moved to tears by a horror movie like that before.
Agreed
Then the total wouldn’t be 69
why you treat me so bad club nouveau
Nope it was creative I got 5 on it has a classic tone that just works well with the horror theme of the movie
I can't believe he didn't talk about how the real Adelaide could have just walked back up to the real world!??
From the start yes, but she was chained up.
But probably after she was not chained, going up would make her seem as an imposter.
As the other red said, their parents believed that she saw something that freaked her out so much that she couldn't talk.
If they saw red, they would know the reason why the other red freaked out and probably got her killed.
@Wild Indian 🤦♂️
Leo MarBel How would going up make her seem like an impostor? Adelaide did EXACTLY THAT and she faced zero consequences for it so why are we supposed to believe that she couldn’t just leave whenever she wanted?
bad writing
Given how jerky and weird her dance was, you could at least assume that once she was down in the tunnels she was being somewhat controlled by Red on the surface like all the other tethered are by their double. I mean like... just don't try and figure out how, why or when the control seems to come and go.... >.> (100% agree with cinemasins on this one. Good movie. Shouldn't have tried to explain it.)
Red's explanation for what the tethered are and why has to be just her theory.
After all, none of the other tethered can speak and there are no scientists or supervisors down there, so how would she even know the origins of the tethered or what their purpose was? She's only guessing, piecing a story together.
exactly
she did say “i believe” which implies it’s a theory
Exactly
Maybe they left records?
There could have been an HOA manual.
Also, after Red and Addy switched, how did Addy fully learn the English language without anyone noticing it was strange? Of course they knew she had seen something traumatic and they thought that’s why she wouldn’t speak. But then later ‘forgetting’ English entirely and slowly having to relearn it? Someone would have noticed, right?
PTSD causes memory loss and considering she was soo young it explains the relearning
You just answered yourself
How does that add anything to the story though? It wouldn't matter anyways , since no one would jump to the idea of Addy being a clone .
I'm assuming she's partially learning from her link with the other girl and kids learn faster than adults.
And also why did the real Addy lose her ability to speak fluent English?
Cinema sins: it take me more than 15 minutes to pee for gods sake
Me: I think that’s more of a personal problem
I think he meant because the long ass lines to get in in the bathroom
I had the exact same thought. I don't take me 15 minutes to pee :/
@Jayne Eyre it doesn't take a healthy/normal person to pee for 15min. Usually less than 5min (3min for me) People usually become distracted and check their phone, make up, mirror, hand dryers take forever and dumb pictures
It took him 15 mins to pee?
"Scott. Get that prostate checked, man."
I'm older, have a bad knee and a bad back, so when he said it takes more than 15 minutes to pee, my response was, "Yeah, Buddy. Me, too!" 🤣👵🏽
5:05 "Do they taste better when they're scared or something?"
According to Pennywise, yes
That's the joke, Ted
True
Animals have been scientifically proven to taste better when scared right before they die. The body secretes a special hormone giving the meat a better flavor.
@@aleicblack8053 Meat is more tender and tastes better when relaxed. I really really doubt said hormone would go to the muscles anyway. What is your source for such a claim?
I did a basic google search and all I got was these "stress-free, acorn-eating Ibérico pigs produce healthier, tastier ham-and modern food science explains why", "Why Animals That Died Scared Taste Bad", "Meat from Scared Animals Tastes Worse", please tell me your scientifically peer-review sources for your claim that the opposite is scientifically proven.
Yup
I am very surprised you didn't take a sin off for Red's voice. It's incredibly hard to sustain that type of voice acting.
its really not that hard my guy
Most of these sins were not enough to take me out of the moment, but when we saw all the Tethered in the flashback wearing the same clothes as their counterparts, I was just too distracted. I think it was the image specifically of the Dad's tethered holding the Micheal Jackson T-shirt. I was just thinking, how the hell is that down there with them and none of the rest of the carnival is. What if Adelaide picked any other toy. Would that have just have appeared?
I think if the Tethered always had worn the red jumpsuits and mimed everything else, I'd at least have bought that.
hiigguys that was my biggest issue as well!
@@twistedspike69 I agree with the jumpsuits but they shouldn't have been red from the start.
Without thinking too much into it, maybe the fact that the Thriller shirt was the only thing there, that's how the tethered partially controlled them. It was the only option truly available.
Dude why are you asking for details in an allegory. Allegories aren't supposed to have specific details
@@jordansharpe1653 Things still have to make sense in a movie, especially if they took the time to give explanations. If they were expecting people to ignore the several questions that keep coming up, they should have picked a different setting that didn't invite those questions, and not disregard the verisimilitude inside the same narrative. If the details aren't important, they shouldn't be that noticeable.
My mind was blown when he said Duke was acting like peele and now I can’t unsee it
there was a line Duke said at the dinner table near the beginning that sounded like it came straight out of Jordan Peele's mouth lol. And I couldn't ignore it.
When I first saw some interviews with them, I honestly thought they were the same person for a while. Until I realized they weren't. And I'm really not trying to be clever here - I really thought they were the same.
Really? It was pretty overt. He even looks like him a little lol
They look alike too. Winston is a sexy Jordan Peele.
Same
“MWWRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!”
“Polo!”
Hahaha yeah I lost on that bit lol
MRAH MARO
Lol!!!!
Scott Villanueva I laughed at that part too 😂
I literally laughed out loud when he started rapid firing the sins😂
I called the twist ending the second Adelaide killed the first of the tethered. The grunts and wheezes she made were far too uniquely similar to those of the tethered
"This f*cking family is so happy early in the movie that they HAVE to know they're in a horror movie." This is so brilliantly stated--why does this never occur to horror movie families? Whenever it seems too good to be true...
I'm sad for you. You've never been happy?
Just like in real life. It's too good to be true.
Yep, if I'm out alone at night and I'm just in too good a mood, I immediately get paranoid and start gripping my weapon tight until I'm home.
Keep in mind this is a black family. And knowing how black people joke about horror movies if we were in a horror movie we would know!
@@justinlindfors8512 then how come they don't know? Nobody is suspicious until shit is real and it's too late. I'm black, and in my horror movie, I'm alright bc my gun is right next to me in the car, right by my favorite seat at home, right by my bed when I'm in the bed. No baseball bat bullshit. I saw that coming a mile away, dude takes the bay right from him. You never get that close to have to use a melee weapon if you can avoid it, for that very reason. My impression was that they're black, but they're preppy and corny, (well, the dad is anyways), so they have to go through the same shit white people deal with in horror movies.
"Everything Wrong With Us" sounds like a CinemaSins apology video.
Nah that was their first video
@@quackquack8775 It was one of their first, but not "the" first.

I know a few people who are too dumb to die. There's not enough time in the day to list all of them, even if I knew their names.
If they all had guns then the movie would be over in like 20 min
*NWA definitely survived this one.*
The fact that there weren't any guns is also one of the metaphors for the movie. Check out Film Theory's video on Us and you'll see what I mean

Not everyone has guns because this isn't possible, and the only people who would believe this is possible are QAnon cultists. States with loose gun rights have considerably higher crime rates. Sorry to go political, but the movie made it clear that the tethered have the ability to do everything their doppelganger can do. So all it takes is for a couple tethered to blitz attack someone, take their gun, and they already have an advantage due to the fact that theyre fanatics who have no self preservation instincts, meaning theyll take more risks, meaning theyll be able to clear neighborhoods before being stopped. Guns wouldve made it worse.
@@bloodwraith729 few things, cities with the strictest gun regulations often have the worst crime statistics. Also, unless I missed something in the movie, the tethered only use their scissors to kill, even when other weapons might be available. Like CinimaSins pointed out, where do the red jumpsuits and scissors come from in the first place? If they are mass producing it all why not just make all the tethered some firearms? It’s just part of the plot, if one of the main characters had a gun or any of the neighbors, things wouldn’t be as intense, therefore no guns allowed. Btw what’s with the conspiracy nonsense, do you think that only qanon folk own firearms?
me: *patiently waiting for CinemaSins to review Joker*
I second this motion
Sameeee
Yesss
Lol it’s a sure thing, since it’s still in theaters it might take a few more months before they do review Joker
I watched it this morning
“Do they taste better when they’re scared?” Lmao oh IT
Can't wait for the Chapter Two sin count. 🎈
tasty tasty fear
just in case you didn't know, the actress that played Red actually did all of the voice stuff herself which is pretty insane and honestly makes the movie so much better
nah it was cringe af
@@Osjey who asked
This movie had a good message and premise but the mass amount of plot holes is what ruined it for me
Way too many plot holes. And there are many obvious "we do this to keep the movie going" moment s.
I agree if it had less plotholes it would've been a much better movie
@@jaccbolton The plotholes are there for you to fill in yourself, according to Jordan Peele, I think
I didn't like the switcheroo ending, it felt cheap and unnecessary.
vioLiN NiBbA that’s just lazy writing. It’s not that kind of movie. Plot holes I’m talking about is how are the tethered still alive, where did they get their clothes, how did they get together all the tethered in America to make the plan? I need answers 😭😭
Yeah the whole “we’ve been down here for generations” kinda ruined a good narrative.
How? The experiment was abandoned and she , fully aware of reality, tried teaching them to be societal. The narrative is there lol
You're being EXTREMELY generous there lol.
@Bob Only by people under 12, or in most cases the intelligence of a 12 year old.
Us is just a piece of shit. Aclaimed just because the director is black like get out
How so. It makes sense.
Everyone acted very well in this movie but can we just have a round of applause for Lupita
Your Mom ABSOLUTELY👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Joey Karate lol tf
Joey Karate bruh we all know your name ain’t karate spitting out racist shit with a fake name fkn idiot.
no
I thought her clone voice was very annoying.
i think lupita is a champ for keeping up that ragged, throat crushed voice; i kept thinking "damn, she must've been tired between takes" but then i learned she stayed in red's character between filming which is doubly amazing
“Dude, they’re standing RIGHT THERE.”
ik it was kinda a joke but they already know they’re tethered and that they are kinda like evil and stuff
But...
They don't speak or even understand words, man xd
Es como si yo te insultara en español, entiendes?
@@metallicmaiden409 yes I understand you
Is no one gonna appreciate “hare stylists” at 4:34?
The bunnies
well if they were tethered then whoever did the hair style for adelaide had the tethered version do it for red.
8:05 they didn't kill her because she is one of them
Nah I'm pretty sure it's cuz Red Adelaide who started the revolution wanted to kill her as revenge.
One of Us One of Us
Why didn't "Red" raise her kids more normal?
@@priscillajimenez27 You mean the real ADELAIDE? Because she was a little girl when she was abducted. She had to grow up in a certain enviroment that shaped her. That also affected how she and ABRAHAM raised their children.
@@VicenteTorresAliasVits I'm just surprised they don't speak at least or something
Is it bad that I can’t watch any film now without cinema sinning it in my head 😬😬🙋♀️
So true
Try it with a creative writing degree
Sounds like a personal problem to me 🤷♂️
Same I'm guilty of this too.
I love the fact that the hall of mirrors also has "Find Yourself" in subtext like Jordan Peele is another level.
I cannot believe you didn’t acknowledge the fact that Red’s whole ‘speech’ about the origin of the tethered was literally impossible as she wasn’t born there and had no way of finding out since no other tethered can speak! My biggest pet peeve about the whole film.
Emily Cartwright please explain more
I assumed the scientists left notes. She can read. And after so long down there she could clearly communicate with the tethered on some level.
Jake Pullman idk, to say she knew their very intentions and everything seemed very odd for someone who was chucked down there well into their neglected stage. But you never know
Beylieve_ 219 I just mean that since the two girls swapped and it was the girl that wasn’t born down there doing the speech about how the government created them to control the ones above ‘like puppets’, there’s no way for her to know that unless, as someone commented, she found paperwork/notes but it’s doubtful imo. And although she can explain to them what to do through body language etc they couldn’t tell her anything because none of them can speak.
I think the movie was trash idk about u
I hope Jordan Peele watches these videos... I could imagine him smiling like “Wait until my next movie... *Looks around to see if anyone is near*... Biiiiiiitch”
lmao
I said Bitch czcams.com/video/5LGEiIL1__s/video.html
No, you gotta do it right.

But Did you say bitch tho
This comment deserves way more attention this is for anyone who has a love for Jordan Peele
I Love this film but I felt the same way about how the clones and how they were completely mishandled in the story of how they came to be. It left to many questions open as to how nobody first never noticed this vast underworld stretching across America and also when the plan was finally abandoned everybody working on it just went home, forgot about it, and didn't say a word? Did they take a blood oath? MIB memory wash? A secret program of THAT magnitude would have SOMEONE waiting to blow the lid completely off it. And don't use real world examples of conspiracies because the movie set itself up to explicitly explain what was going on.
Dude it's an allegory, so it doesn't need to explain that
@@jordansharpe1653 I mean, you really aren't wrong about that. The issue I have with it is that I can't suspend disbelief to the level needed to immerse myself in the tone and themes he is presenting. My questions, and a lot of people felt this way too, really aren't super complex or nitpicky. It's basic stuff that one would wonder about when watching this movie. And something as smartly crafted & written like this is waaay better than to let itself just skip past or shrug off the obvious things that people are likely to point out.
It's like when someone watches Batman & might ask who built the batcave and who makes all of these gadgets that Batman uses. Somebody, surely, has to supply all of that technology to Bruce Wayne. And wouldn't they, at some point, put two & two together and realize who Bruce is? Christopher Nolan answered that, simply, with Morgan Freeman's character. Him being in charge of Batman's arsenal just made sense since he's a close acquaintance of Bruce in the first place. The fact that his arsenal was made of stuff the military didn't use really drove it home. A relatively easy answer & people can just enjoy the story.
When a writer has glaring plot holes, like what I mentioned in my original post, in something I'm watching, it just takes me out of the movie, tv show or whatever and it's hard for me to get back into it afterwards.
That's all I was saying.
@@amrey3628 that's just a personal problem, not the movie's problem. I mean no one wants to stop the film, so Jordan can explain how they survive .
@@jordansharpe1653 It's a pervasive and prevalent opinion for some though, myself included. Just as how you feel about it not mattering is also a personal opinion, my friend. I was trying to be cordial but you seem to think how YOU feel about this movie is and should be the definitive metric for all. Miss me with the aggressive/combative tonality because my opinion is not reflective of yours. That's NOT how things work. Obviously, other people feel the same way, in some sense, about what I, initially, said or they would not have clicked the thumbs up button. To me, those little nuances that weren't really touched up matter and took away part of my enjoyment while watching this movie. To you, those things do not matter in any context. That is fine and well for both of us. Plain and simple. And that's the end of it. Period
@@amrey3628 the batman stuff is easily answerable though without the writer telling you. Batman is a high tech genius, so he most likely made it himself. Bruce hired people to build a place like a high functioning garage like in batman v superman. Usually that batmobile wasn't tankish until the nolan films , it was just a modified car . This all would be valid criticism if batman was an allegory
Been seeing another theory about this film. The more I watch it, the more I believe it.
Spoiler Alert!!!!

Theres a theory that the son was switched when they were at the beach house the year prior. That would explain why he acts weird, forgot how to do his fire trick, had the same sense of rhythm as his mother, didnt act as scared as the rest of the family when the tethered arrived, ect.
There are plenty of videos on CZcams about it that go into greater detail. Not sure if it's true, but it would be so awesome if Peele created a sub plot that was woven in the movie without ever focusing on it 😳😯😀
I actually just commented that when I saw your comment, I caught on to the things you wrote as well as how the mom looked at her son and smiled the way she did at the end of the movie lets me know that she also knew he was a tether, makes since because she seemed visibly hurt when the other son died in the fire because that was the actual son that she bore herself and not the tethered version.
Sorry, not trying to start an argument, though I've heard the theory before, I just don't see that to be true. I mean, the tethers were supposed to pretty much mimic their originals, right? So, why would the son mimic a tether and walk backwards to his death? She seemed saddened by it, hurt, or whatever, but she also seemed saddened in a way when her daughter's tether was dying on the tree. I think that it was just in her motherly to act that way, especially when the tethers looked exactly like her own children. But hey, it's just a movie, right? Lol
Yeah I saw that too after I watched Us
It's a red herring. Doesn't make sense in the grand scheme.
Nah
We need a “everything wrong with ‘in the tall grass’” I feel like the that video would be longer than the actual movie....
that movie is complete shit
I cried of frustration watching that
Had so much potential, but ended up being downright horrible! 🤦🏾♀️
I didnt unterstand the Movie xD
Oh no I was saving that for October 30 movie night...is it really that bad?
“Everything wrong with us”
Does that mean everything wrong with CinemaSins
Nah, they already did that video
Somebody's triggered
shit low iq review
Maybe
The answer is yes
I just wanna know why she didn't escape after her clone dragged her down there? like I get she was handcuffed to the bed, but obviously those handcuffs came off since she dances down there..but like why didn't she just get out the minute those handcuffs came off?
She was planning the take over for years down there. That’s why she didn’t leave.
she also became tethered to adelaide when we see the dance scene
CinemaSins Drinking Game: Take a shot every time they say the word “Us”
I’m kind of disappointed that the scene when they were arguing over who was driving the car by kill count wasn’t counted as a sin 😂😂😂
I couldn't believe the dad would allow his daughter to endanger his wife by locking her out of the car. I guess both the copy and the dad are stupid and that's what got the copy killed.
“It takes me more than fifteen minutes to pee”
Honestly, that sounds like something he should see a doctor about.
So I'm the only one who thought it was relatable?
I don’t know, it takes me about that long. Sit down, pee, relax and think about life for a bit, try to feel if you need to pee more or maybe poop as well, do that if you need to, wipe, flush, thoroughly was your hands... Just washing my hands can take a good few minutes for me, honestly, if I use my little nail brush.

You never go into how the son was a tether from the beginning of the movie as well, it kinda goes in depth about why he didn't know how to use the toy he was playing with and why he couldn't stay on beat when the song came on. The tethered son replaced the real one a year before the movie started.
The mother was visibly hurt when the other son died in the fire because it was actually the son that she bore herself and not the son that she's currently with.
I don't think the son was changed. That was just an internet rumor thing. I haven't seen anything to confirm it
well she went to comfort umbrae too, they would’ve been her children if she hadn’t switched with redd in the beginning, also adelaide was the one who wasn’t on beat and jason just went along with it
I get that it's a cool theory, but don't go around like "well actually..." as if it's real. Besides, that theory then adds the question: why does the real son act tethered?
@@ArtisticallySpoken Been a minute since I've rewatched the movie but from what i remember, I wouldn't say the son so much as acted tethered, more of him adapting to the situation he was in as he's a child and its much simpler for a child to change than an adult would.
He probably didn’t go into it because Jordan Peele has said that he wasn’t a tether and he would probably know since he wrote it.

@yang Jason Wtf was that link? Pretty weird.
She doesn't spill the beans when she's telling him there's was a girl that looked like her because she's not the real adalaide. Shes the girl that grabbed and drug her down in the tunnels and the clothes are not exactly the same because her small tethers shirt isn't a thriller shirt.
"Also also, what's the deal with creepy, magical doohickies at carnivals?"
It's most likely a nod or an homage to the novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes" by Ray Bradbury. The book is considered by many to be a classic and also considered by many to be his best work after Fahrenheit 451. It's one of the more respected literary works of the horror genre in the 20th century, and some of the more contemporary horror writers (including Stephen King) have cited it as inspiration for some of their works. The book revolves around a sinister carnival that arrives in a small town in the middle of the night and the two 13 year-old boys who try to discover what goes on after dark. I'm not saying that's what happened here, but at least some of the times that it shows up in film, I'm sure it's likely intended as an homage. It may be sin-worthy as an overused trope, but it could have actually been done with good intentions rather than just a lazy lack of originality. BTW the book is definitely worth the read for anyone who's interested in the horror genre.
On another note, the idea that a t-shirt would be a second-level prize in an 1980's carnival is the least believable part of this movie. It should have been a 5-sin transgression.
“It takes me more than fifteen minutes to pee”
Yeeeeeeah, you should have that looked at.
Lmao right 😂
I'm dying Good joke dude I love it
I'm absolutely shocked that she did not win more awards for her performance, the best performance of the year tbh
Zach Boardman give it time. Award season is coming up

Did you know that she still played Red even when the cameras weren't rolling (BTS)?
Zach Boardman definitely not💀
I agree
Ok. The "tether bawl" sin sent me... 😆
“She went upstairs, knocked out her doppelgänger, brought her downstairs, in 15 minutes! I can’t pee in that long!”
😂😂😂😂
The “hare” stylist joke is underrated lol
Also the “vision quest” saying “find yourself”
I was so hyped for this movie man, get out is a masterpiece and one of my favs, but after all this time its still hard for me to decide if I liked it or not. I mean it sure scared the living shit outta me which is definitely good, but I believe that there was so much potential wasted because the plot was just to complicated to make sense I guess. Even though I really loved the concept. And visually I believe we can all agree that it's stunning, but thats just Peele being him
I'm so glad this video is finally out. I've been waiting forever for CinemaSins to review the film :))

When you realize cinemasins has a hard on for Jordan Peele
They don't want to offend the African American Cinema community. LIsten to him make excuses for giving half the sins.
@@deedsofdecapitation7477 Or they just recognize that Jordan makes amazing movies. It doesn't have to be about race, my guy.
Can you blame them?
I dont think movie critics are allowed to not have a hard on for Jordan Peele.
Jordan Peele deserves the recognition he is receiving, regardless of race!
One you missed is that Addy handcuffed only one wrist to the coffee table at the beginning of the film but then later on when she gets away from the coffee table and escapes magically her hands are cuffed together.
Edit: This one bugged me for the entirety of the film because her being handcuffed was a big part of multiple scenes and yet it NEVER happened to begin with
4:33 I love the pun of writing, 'hare stylists'. 😂
“I’m driving - I have the highest kill count.” line should have been like 50 sins removed 😂
Honestly, that was one of the cringiest "comedic" moments in the movie.
No not really
Deviantel hell no, then ur sense of humor is shit
@@donshifty Yeah, doubtfully :P
I would've removed one for, "Ophelia call the police."
"Okay, playing F*CK the police by NWA."
I know he removed one later as they walked up the stairs to it but still.
I legitimately thought this was another everything wrong with cinemasins again
It was in the inbox so it was kinda small :/
Just noticed in the subtitles:
"Are the rabbits also clothing and hare stylists?"
bravo sir
Despite this movie's plot holes, I still think that this was good. The theme and atmosphere were perfect; even the plot holes can be overlooked.
Nah I think it's dumb as shit
“Why are we even talking about anuses?”
“CinemaSins staff meetings.”
Hold up- what? 😂😂😂 You know, w/this crew, I wouldn’t be surprised if that actually does happen lmao.
Lol. That was funny.
Unfortunately I don't agree with Jeremy. The plot made absolutely no sense to a point where even it's good aspects weren't enough to save it. Jeremy pointed out way too many plot holes and it reached a point where the movie just completely collapsed on itself.
@@vgames89 agreed! There's some great scenes scattered throughout the movie but the actual story is so dumb I can't with good conscience call this a good movie. It makes no logical sense!

I would automatically survive because my Tethered would be so lazy it wouldn't even go to the surface.
This is making me realize that the main thing that seperates people who love this movie from those who hate it is you either accept it's a film focused on imagery, ideas, and symbolism or hate it doesn't explain things.
And while I love it bc it does so many things right with creating atmosphere, dread, and the uniqueness of the idea and execution, I can understand being annoyed that Peele just expects you to go with it and not ask practical questions.
For me it depends on what I felt the goal of the film was. Some movies rely more on the practical reasonings of the story or don't answer things that make it contrived. But some others don't answer it bc it isn't the point.
An example is LOTR Trilogy how they don't use the Eagles to go to Mordor. You can try to explain why based on the books but it's never addressed in the movies bc the focus is the journey to Mordor and the eagles would make that journey not happen. I can just accept that the eagles can't help for whatever reason bc the movies are terrific for what they're trying to do.
And one of the main goals of US is to distort your perception of reality so I personally don't need everything to make perfect sense. I thought the idea of depraved souless clones of all of us living in abandoned tunnels underneath was intriguing and terrifying and I loved the way Peele represented it enough that I didn't need the logistics explained.
But if I did then I get how this can really just set people off and then they don't like the twist or the last act to be interesting bc they were expecting answers to solve their questions and they never got them.
And also I can see how the main theme can bother some red hatted viewers and unlike Get Out which was a tighter film, there is a lot more practical issues to point out in US to justify their annoyance with the idea that class and economy disparity exists in America.
I definitely have to agree! My parents don’t particularly like this movie because they felt it’s not as good as Get Out while I loved it! Of course I have questions but to me it seems as if you figure things out yourself or they’re made to be unanswered. People call that lazy writing but it works for me.
Personally I enjoy the symbolism and the theories and watching vids like this because I get other takes on it compared to what I have. I think the problem is that people want this movie to have one cohesive meaning and it definitely does not. It’s not meant to.
Now I understand why people don’t like it but it’s not the worst thing either.
My mom has the perfect answer for those types of dilemmas: "bc if it weren't for that there wouldn't be no movie"
I'll explain:
Let's use a horror movie cliché as an example:
The family that refuses to leave an obviously haunted house
Someone asks the question "why won't they just leave?"
Mom: "bc if they did, there wouldn't be no movie"
Since Jordan said that it's an allegory, that means that he doesn't need to go in detail. That's just a fact , and if you disagree then that's your problem

Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep

Anyone else notice how much Jordan Peele is inspired by house of 1000 corpses? The shot of Red’s face with Adelaide in the background while they’re in the classroom? Same shot from when Denise is underground (another similarity) with Dr. Satan and his assistant. And Otis yelling run rabbit, also used in Get out
The reference to Plato's Allegory of the Cave was brilliant 😂 Im glad i knew that from school

He's learning.
The boy is a half tether. That’s why he’s able to control the other half tethered one. Also for the new American generation I believed they copied what was going on in the bedroom. (I don’t want to get into that...) For the ppl from other countries they would probably just interact with themselves.
mind blown
No. The sister would be half tethered too. They have the same mother.
I thought about the hybrid implications too, but I'm not too sure if that's the real reason
