from what I understand the plot is about classism. The lower class and the upper class. The lower class finally revolting against the upper class and talking their "place in the sun".
isn't that the ideology of the far left/marxism/communism? working class overthrowing the upper class?
Also showing how people can thrive as long as they are given the opportunity and right resources, and that the lower class are often victims of circumstance rather than just posessing inherently negative traits.
not even upper. the 2 main families we see are middle-upper at best
in fact, one of the people replaced is homeless
I think the people who revolt are so hidden that we could never even conceive of their circumstances
The ending is him accepting. Like, he put on his mask to symbolize that he recognizes everyone wears a mask. Just like his mother has worn one her whole life. She's not really who she says she is. And he accepts that and accepts her.
Not like he has a choice lol
But really she is. She’s the part of the two that had the soul and the control. The people below were bound by what those up above did because the above people had the soul. But Red didn’t have a soul. That’s why she was drawn where Adalaide went. It’s also why when she started to dance so did Red. She had no choice because she wasn’t the one with the soul. The experiment worked but years after it was abandoned. Finally they had someone that could control the one up above ground.
That’s just my take tho! 🤷🏾♂️👍🏾✌🏾
When you watch it a second time you definitely see so many more things that are subtext too.
When I saw it this time I thought that that Red's kids have a sort of human touch to them compared to the white family's clones who just kill brutally like animals. They also seem smarter because one of their parents are from above ground.
In the same way Adalaide's kids are more prone to violence. They just seem to jump into violence.
Its not often you see the protagonists easily kill in horror movies.
Ohhh nice observation!
The scene where the family is arguing about which of them has killed more doppelgangers is hilarious...just a totally inappropriate conversation to be having with kids. You can tell in moments like that that he came from a comedic background.
And Adelaide's son is so eccentric for a boy his age--using strange vocabulary (a certain OTHER word instead of just another curse word), playing with fire, and running around in a mask outside of Halloween. He totally has some Tethered in him.
Looking back on this movie I think once fake Adelaide realized that the real Adelaide would be paying her a visit, she tried to set a foundation of alleged ""victimhood" by partially telling her husband about the carnival event as a way to keep him on her side. Which was pointless because Gabe wasn't really listening & they were all too busy fighting for their lives
This movie never gets old. I never get tired of watching it. Each time you watch it you catch something new about the plot. Like the shot of the family walking across the sand on the beach and seeing their shadows - a sign of doubles.
and the way adelaide was so protective of the life she had now because she didn’t want to return back to her rightful life underground. while at the same time also being the only one being sympathetic and careful with umbrae and pluto because she knew that by right, they were her actual children
oh and the way that dahlia wanted to carve up her face because kitty got plastic surgery. and since they’re tethered, they both have the same insecurities and desire to change their appearances. i could go on and on with all the parallels and symbolism but that would take long :’)
@@moonassery26 I know there is so much!
This movie is from 2019 ,its pretty new
It’s such a great movie
from someone who has lived near santa cruz (location where the movie was filmed) my whole life, its sooo surreal to see the places ive been too but like turned into something scary. every time i go to that boardwalk now im hella paranoid that theres a bunch of doppelgangers underground
FREAKY. didn’t know it was actually shot in santa cruz 😳😳
I watched this movie at least 3 times and in each of them I noticed something that I didn't saw at the 1st time (like when the protagonist is going down in that place like the knows exactly where she needs to go, when a normal person would be open all of the doors)
Man Ninetail is so smart. I wasn't even thinking about any twists when I first saw it. 😅
On another level of intelligence. I was completely confused throughout the movie lol 😂
My take on the movie is that it's a critique of america's treatment of "otherness". The movie really makes you think, "who is really the villain here?" as evidenced by adelaide as the clone being in disguise among regular people and taking red's place, and adelaide's violence towards red and the tethered. I remember seeing someone say that the title "Us" is a double entendre; "us" meaning the clones are us, and "U.S" as a reference to red's line of "we are americans"; we may treat others as aliens on our own turf (i.e., the tethered) but they're technically just fellow americans
Got to love how each of the "Doppelgangers" are the complete opposite from their counter-parts - The dad is funny and happy, sarcastic - while his clone is angry (From his constant facial expression) and aggressive - The Daughters clone has no beauty features or make-up when the original was all about beauty - The Son's clone never spoke/grunt while the original spoke a lot.
Actually I believe the son is actually the clone that got switched out with the original son. When they were at the beach in the beginning, the son who spoke said he was making tunnels in the said instead of sand castles. It could very well be for-shadowing for it it is completely ignore this theory lol 😅, but there something about the son who could speak that just caught me attention. Guess I need to go re-watch it to see.
@@dominque4180 Yeah I believe that too - But we never know but that' what I love most about the movie, the different theories it creates.
@@Mithras-jp4jp Exactly!
@@dominque4180 I know this is late but that wouldn't make sense.
@@niyanna HI! What is the contradiction?
The most chilling and freaky line in this movie to me was, "Ambre was born laughing."
Along with "She gave birth to a little MONSTER!"
Umbrae was a menace straight out of the womb, even by Tethered standards!!
your channel was recommended to me last night with one of your harry potter reactions, so naturally, as the potter head that i am, proceeded to watch all of them in one sitting. i may have gone to bed at 5am but it honestly was worth it. i absolutely love your channel and i am so excited to watch this and the rest of your content going forward :))
Aww…well welcome to the family!!!
You binge watch all of them? Understandable 😂.
@@daisuke910 the order of the phoenix was the video that was recommended to me so i decided to watch it because that is my favourite film of the series. i loved their video so much i decided to watch the others and got so invested in their reactions that i ended up watching all of them in one sitting unintentionally LOL
There channel is lit, always great movies. The first movie I watched on the channel was man on fire, been entertained ever since. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
There's something about this movie that actually terrifies me. Like I normally don't have strong reactions to horror movies, but I think the acting is what gets to me. It verges on uncanny-valley. Like almost human, but slightly off.
And the Rabbit's stand for experiments like cloning, everytime scientists well we mostly see it in movies but everytime a scientist wants to test something or experiment stuff they usually use animals and most of the time rats and Rabbits are usually the ones that get tested the most including goats and monkeys.
It would be isolated cells < rat < rabbit < primate (monkey) < human for clinical testing.
Jeremiah 11:11
Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Woww
Idk what’s happening
He doesn't want to kill his mum in the end. Think about the symbolism of him putting the mask over his face...
What do you mean?
@@shroomie4949 oooohhh yeah makes sense
@@shroomie4949 like, just pretend that shit didn't happen, it's all good
I like how Ninetailedbrush mentioned how she had to face herself. I really love in this film how each of them has to face off with their other self
i watched this movie in cinemas with my friends, and holy shit, i remember the moment the twist hit me. it was like i forgot how to breathe. all i could do was gape at the screen in silence. it was amazing.
I'm late but the reason the other mother was talking in a weird way is because the girl strangled her until she passed out and it also messed up her vocal cords so she wasn't able to speak properly after that incident.
It's also a condition caused by extreme amount of stress. It screws with your vocal cords, and how you're able to speak.
These actors did amazing job playing themselves then their doppelganger lol especially the mom lol
Ninetailedbrush always get the plot fast 😅😅 love you guys!
he is smart
@@ViiCiiii for sure! ☺️
To give the movie credit. He didn’t figure it out until more than half way.
I honestly think Umbrae (Zora's dopperlganger) is the scariest of all of them. That smile is just too darn creepy!!
Sole, yeah Umbrae was smiling like that cause Zora didn’t view herself as a beautiful person and she wanted to have a lighter complexion.
I love this movie because is not just an incredible horror movie, is and incredible movie period. Because even though a lot of horror movies are nice and have a good stories they are not very special in the directing or the acting is just ok or etc. But this movie is masterfully directed, the acting is incredible, everything, the editing, the music, the story with all the twists and how the characters were writen, everything is amazing.
Can't wait to see what Jordan Peele will do next.
how did you feel about nope?
@@zina2435 the monkey scene was one of the most disturbing things I ever watched
Both of Jordan Peele’s movies have big rewatchability (made up word, you know what I mean) factors because he is so intentional with every aspect of his stories. Plus the casting choices are always A++.
Notice how Adelaide’s clothes gets more and more bloody throughout the film…
Yeah, what about it?
@@aquabirthbysleep9353 it shows that she gradually becomes evil
@@ItIsOnlyJonathan Didn't look into it that deep. In a lot of horror movies, the more you have to fight for your life the bloodier you get.
@@aquabirthbysleep9353 but with any Jordan Peele movie, there’s plenty of hidden messages.
The concept alone is a step up from get out. Here's my take on this movie. It's about us in both roles. the privileged and underclass. A story that broadens and is layered underneath, but the centered of this is us. Humanity. the good and the bad. The tethered being the inner self, our desires, and talents courageous that are forced to stay within. the original the control factor limited. similar and very distinct. overall US is a talk about!!
This movie has a Shymalan esque Twist Ending I did not see coming when I first saw this film.
never heard of him. what do you recommend?
@@tammybui9278 Split and Glass.
@@shainewhite2781 Oh I have already seen those😭
@@tammybui9278 The 6th Sense and Signs. The best.
@@EmilyDickmesome new stuff coming out about the beach or sumthing
Going back and rewatching makes me better appreciate all of the performances. Not only did they play their main characters but also their creepy af doppelgangers. Even the kids nailed it. That takes talent.
Loving the lights for the environment and as always the reaction! What fascinates me about this movie was that more than scare I felt very uncomfortable the whole time and that was actually more stressful than fear. The camera just stays still a lot of times let us with the scene, and the character, and challenge us the guess what really is happening. After watching it, I obseded in watching analysis about it, and from the social "undertone" about the social classes to the more psychological takes, I love that fact that is made in a way we can understand the general story but also sit a and discuss for hours and in many different ways what it wants to tell us. Really enjoy watching it again with you guys!
Yeah this movie really freaked me out but was so well done especially the twist at the end 🙌
yes!!, the invisible man one of the best choices to watch.
*I remember since the parents said the girl wasn't their little girl anymore (at the very beginning) I was like "They switched places"*
I was so proud of myself once it was revealed I was right haha
I considered that early on too, but I can't be too proud because I somehow kept convincing myself that I was wrong. Lol
I think Black Swan would be a great movie to watch for you guys :)
The invisible man is so good! Can’t wait to see that reaction
I really liked the movie. From the beginning it had my full attention which doesn't happen often lately. I have many questions about the movie though. How did they all get the jumpsuits and the scissors. Why the entrance is in the house of mirrors,unlocked at that. What happens to the "clone" when the "original" moves somewhere else or dies. Do they "magically" appear at the destination? How did they survived all these years there? How do they get the clothes? If they mimick their "original" version how did they escape from the underground. Or they could escape all along but they needed someone "thinking" to do that?
I know it's all probably just metaphor and I shouldn't look for explanation of details but i can't help it 😆 Still a great movie
7:50 "Well, then she did get out somehow."
Little did you know how right you were... XD
This movie terrifies me, especially because I saw it with my family. The possibility of clones (evil or otherwise) of us existing made me lose sleep. The child actors were SO convincing, too--especially the actress playing young Adelaide/Red! And freaking UMBRAE!!
The Dad that plays the mothers father when she was little also plays in 2021's Candyman.
I was hoping you would watch this after you watch Get Out!
We had to!!
When Adelaide kills her real self in the end and totally tethers out😱 frightening as hell.
You could see it starting to slip when she killed Tethered Kitty, also known as Dahlia. Or was it one of Dahlia's daughters that survived? I don't know, but anyway... Adelaide sounded EXTREMELY feral with her grunting and shrieking, just like how the Tethered are. And her formerly pristine white outfit turned *red...*
You guys should watch Sinister. I watched it last night and I got hella scared
Frankenstein, his bride, Dracula, The Wolfman, The Mummy, The Creature from the Black Lagoon.... everyone knows of these monsters. But what about doppelgangers?
MEET THE TETHERED!!!!🙂🙏= 😠🪓
I think the movie points to how we live our lives and pay little attention to the shadow aspects of ourselves. Dad is suppressing anger. The mother is suppressing fear and loneliness. They are living lives that don't feel good to the shadow (or inner child) so the trauma gets deeper and continues to bubble under the surface. Now they have to reckon with it.
Zora was also rejecting her track/running skills, while Umbrae EXCELLED at it.
So, there are pop culture references in this film. As a matter of fact, this film is loaded with those references.
1. THE LOST BOYS was referenced as the film being made on the other side of Santa Cruz in 1986.
2. MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER. Young Adelaide's T-shirt as well as Red's sinister smile at the end of the film.
3. HANDS ACROSS AMERICA was referenced in the 80's commercial as well as the tethered holding hands.
4. THE GOONIES was referenced with the "It's our time up here" speech from this film.
5. THE SHINING was referenced with the twins.
6. ALICE IN WONDERLAND was referenced with the whole white rabbit motif as well as the underground environment.
7. HOME ALONE
8. THE DUALING DANCE.
9. A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. The one hand gloves (although thought of to be a reference to Michael Jackson) was actually a reference to Freddy Krueger.
10. The Biblical scripture JEREMIAH 11:11 was referenced throughout the film especially on the beachgoer's sign.
11. "I GOT 5 ON IT" by the Luniz is played while the family is traveling to Santa Cruz. It's also referenced in the music score when Red and Adelaide are fighting.
12. C.H.U.D. was referenced at the beginning of the film. Pay attention to the VHS tapes on the shelf. Also, the tethered dwelling underground. C.H.U.D. is the acronym for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers.
I’m loving this channel atm, binge watched all your haunting of hill house last night and it did not disappoint!
this movie is so well put together. i watched it for the 3rd time yesterday. i recommend rewatching again cus the easter eggs and set-up are good and easy to miss/forget the first time watching
Literally my favorite Jordan Peele film. Food for thought, there’s a theory after watching a couple of times Jason was also switched as well.
This based on his movement throughout the movie, not knowing how to do this mysterious magic trick, but his tethered version def knew the trick. How did the tethered version have a burned face when down below you can only mirror action and not actually do them. Also how he never actually eats meat line his mother at the dinner table..and ect.
This theory seems a tad far reaching. When is he supposed to have switched? This is the first time Adelaide has been back to that beach. So how and when would Jason have switched with his tethered?
Jillian Rachael they mention they’ve been to the beach before and that’s when Jason started acting weird
@@denardthomas5725 Wouldn't the mom have suspected something if his behavior mirrored her own that much? I've never been much one for fan theories that think they're smarter than the movie.
Jordan Peele is a godsent in the film industry. US and Get Out are so unique and two of my fave modern movies not just horror movies.
I love your faces during this whole film, and I definitely love the discussion afterwords. Such a brilliant, thought provoking movie. Thank you for this.
I read his putting the mask on as hiding. He did it whenever he was scared. He put it on when he was in the closet with his double and he had no intention of killing him then. He was just scared. He also had some deeper understanding of the tethered. He had that control over his double that no one else did, so I think he was a more intuitive person. The music at the end was the “Hands Across America” music. It tied the end back to the beginning.
The reason Red/Real Addy has a whisper is cuz Tethered Addy strangled her as a kid.
I find it kinda funny how James is always just James but Brush doesn't want to use his name
It makes sense, a lot of people have a lot of reasons for not using their names, it's just a little funny when it's side-by-side
I cant wait to start seeing your original films
Kudos to Ninetailedbrush for figuring out that surface world / copy switch before the reveal.
I don't know if it was purposeful or if Jordan Peele just likes 80s punk music, but on multiple occasions you see t-shirts for the album My War by the band Black Flag. That song begins with the lines, "My war! You're one of them! You said that you're my friend, but you're one of them!" The film also has the feel of a Brian De Palma thriller, with its split-diopter shots, intercutting a murder with a ballet, and focus on doppelgangers, all of which have appeared in De Palma's films, sometimes frequently.
"Why is it all echoey?" Weirdly enough, that's genuinely what it sounds like there on a busy day/night. I used to live there, and I went there often with my family.
Finally!!!, I really enjoy watching your reactions, especially the ones that I've watched before, keep up, your content is special, 🦋.
Hi guys, I'm a new subscriber. Love your dialog during film watching! You remind me so much of me when I was younger!
Love to see two intelligent guys doing reaction videos!
If you take requests I would recommend Ari Asters Midsommar, I think you'll like that film!
Keep the reactions coming!👍
Pls watch fear street! It’s on Netflix btw (there’s 3 parts so watch them in order) pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3
Not a horror movie, but you guys should watch The Green Mile. It's a Stephen King and Frank Darabont movie with Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan. Absolutely incredible film!
Hands Across America was an actual charity event. In 1986, around 6 million people participated. Raised money for hunger and homeless. Pretty cool. To organize such a thing
I surprisingly enjoyed this film than I initially thought I would, it exceeded expectations.
Almost didn't finish this movie, because around the 1 hour and 30 minute mark, it just seemed to be trying way too hard to be scary and way too long for such a simple concept.
But then the twist came, and wow am I glad I finished. Good work Jordan Peele, almost said you only had a 'one hit wonder' movie with Get Out.
hope y'all see this... keep producing this 🔥... ive been binging and y'all have been therapeutic for my last couple months
Thank you YT for recommending this channel. Subscribed!
Yes, The Invisible man is so good! You choose the best ones, can't wait
Loved the twist
the under lighting on horror based films looks so fucking good dude.
been hooked on your reactions since my first time watching a video on your channel - Hobbit.
love the interaction between you and Nine Tails. Thor too.
it's funny, i just saw your GET OUT reaction and then this releases the same day.
you guys pick the best movies to react to!
There is so many symbolism to uncover in this movie.
It was crazy the way everything was adding up at the end. The way she was off beat when snapping her fingers to the song. The way she would stutter when thinking of the incident. The way she was moaning and making weird sounds throughout the movie. And the way she was staying to convince the son that "it was her" as yes she I his mom but not who she says she is.
Love your reactions dudes
Ninetail is so smart. I feel like if you react to slasher movies like Scream. He would've known behind the mask in the mid of the movie. 😳😂😂
The one that knew the movie acting like he was surprised at certain stuff or didn't know certain others is literally me when I'm re watching a movie with a new watcher and don't wanna spoil anything
This is an awesome movie, thank you guys for the great reaction.
I loved the movie but why would the government stick the clones under an amusement park inside a funhouse?
I would assume because it's supposedly an unassuming location, both underground and above ground. If I'm not mistaken it seemed more like a limited time carnival that you have to catch in your town before it leaves for the average person to go to, making it only publically open at specific times of the year. This would mean it functions under the guise of normalacy, obsolving the need for questioning and throwing around the extra funding for secrecy and security that would otherwise make the experiment an obvious target. Additionally it's a generally safe area because most people choose to follow laws against trespassing and it doesn't need to be operated/supervised daily because outside of the fair/pier carnival it's likely a locked up building forgotten until needed. Easily assessible, hidden, and controlled in theory.
Like the real government did with Disneyland and MK Ultra? Erm.....
I think the opening on-screen text is implying that those tunnels are pretty much everywhere.

Our family participated in Hands Across America. I don't remember much just getting to our spot on the side of the road.
Great reaction!!🔥 Can’t wait for the Invisible Man Reaction it was surprisingly good. Another single horror films that would be amazing is Mother! (2017)
The kid doesn't want to kill his mom at the end
Fun fact, the twins played Emma in Friends^^
The dude playing Elisabeth Moss' husband is the "it's free real estate" guy.
Loved the music in this to lol
Great reaction guys! I love this movie and the meaning behind the plot.. You should watch Invisible man! It's a an amazing horror movie about narcissists. Sorry for my English. Love from France ❤️
It’s up next week! Ur English is great, don’t worry
No way he's gonna kill his Mom though. That's absolutely still his mother, I think he's just aware of who she actually is now.
My favorite horror film next to The Witch, Sinister, Doctor Sleep and Suspiria (2019)
That's social commentary on how we live. For us to live our luxury lives with all our stuff there has to be others that live in suffering and with out anything we have. Title us is referring to us but also us as in united states lol. How America has been built over the decades is touched on in this movie with the doppelganger and normal people ANF the above ground and under ground lol. So many layers lol.
I'm still waiting for your reaction in INSIDIOUS 3 AND LAST KEY!!!
Yeah their outfits ate cool. Lots of people were saying they were dressing up as doppelganger for Halloween lol. The red jumpsuits represent what they wear in prison. That's most dangerous inmates if you killed someone. That's kind of like these people. They represent the oppressed cause not all in jail are guilty. So Jordan put that commentary in this. He has commentary in each movie. Heard the tell be some in candy man coming out in a bit this year. I can't wait lol.
Have been really enjoying your reactions. I 100% recommend The Exorcist (Scariest movie ever made), One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (Jack Nicholson in a lunatic asylum - what more do I need to say? Won just about every single Oscar that year.), Children of Men (A masterclass in direction, acting, writing, camerawork & editing), Predestination (The ultimate mindfuck movie) and The China Syndrome (Has a 7 minute sequence in which there is absolute suspension of disbelief and heart-pounding you feel like you are inside the movie). Trust me on these.
Exorcist is a great film, but I never found it that scary. It's really intense and transgressive, but I guess you have to either be Catholic or a parent to find it actually scary.
About haves and have nots ,but much more, full of symbolism , will watch again.
Hi! I made one of the posters for the marketing of this movie and I love watching people react to it!! ✌️😗 I'll be subscribing!
Please watch The perks of being a wallflower. It's so amazing!
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE MOVIE, I WATCHED IT IN 2021 I was obbsesed but im ok but its still my favourite
The dad is Winston Duke, from Black Panther.
Yep
I also just love that us also means America like, the US
So it really speaks a lot of classism in America
Addie's kidnapping does make me feel lucky that I was safe both times I disappeared when I was 2.5 and 4...
Ohhhh yes cardio is going to be easy today
haha okay Ninetailed (is that his name, I'm new) said it for me.. it's times like this when you need more than a bat.....
Great reaction movie 🍿🎥
