Us: The implicit messages elevate horror

If you leave out a few superfluous details and don't dig in with logic, this is one of the few best horror movies with the most depths ever seen. The movie Us (us) doesn't use the familiar jumpscares trick - a form I don't appreciate, feeling very poor and cheap.

Do not use creepy images of horror, the horror that lies in every gesture, every sentence, awakening the underlying fear hidden beneath the senses - the fear of the devil in itself every human being.

The implicit messages elevate the horror in Us movie bugs


"Us" offers a multidimensional experience, each viewer will have different perspectives, different perspectives and sensibilities. So there will be people who do not understand the bad movie, some people find it interesting but also can not explain, some people understand but find it not perfect to the point of excellence. And even good reviewers will be able to offer mixed opinions.

Only one thing is for sure, you will hug a bunch of questions about home and questions why there is no answer; And when watching, it will seem like you are watching a comedy movie, you will see the whole theater tilted up, alternating with strong obsessive expressions that only wait for you to go home, alone, laughing and seeing yourself in the mirror through the waking night light is truly terrifying.

Therefore, the following analysis will be my personal view, based on my experience of watching psychological movies / hacking the brain + information to learn more about American history and politics to explain a Some details, maybe right or wrong, but hope to bring more new and clearer look.

Horror is only a minor element of "Us", Peele uses it as a background to derive implicit messages about human nature, social and political contemporaries of contemporary America. I used to watch and really like the movie "American beauty", when watching the movie Us, I thought of it and felt a slight similarity between the two movies: the hidden corner behind the "American Dream". Us has a lot of metaphorical and detailed images, which can be said to be a bit too greedy when deliberately cramming too many things. There is praise for Peele for being very skilled at using highly iconic and transparent images such as scissors, red, rabbit, 1986, jeremiah 11:11, 4, fire, "find yourself", the delegation people holding hands ...

There are details that I did not understand right from the point of view, but after watching it, I had to ggs to understand, for example, Jeremiah 11:11 is a passage in the Bible: “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. ”

It was generally like a harbinger of ominousness, and no one could help it. Understandably, God sometimes decides to punish the sins we commit instead of saving if it's too late to argue. Just like how the holy city of Jerusalem was devastated after 300 years of splendor, though Jeremiah tried to save himself after a late penance. => Repent before it is too late! Those were the words Peele wanted to convey, but to whom ?!

11:11 combined by 4, the Wilson family and the Tyler family all have 4 people. The scene of the Wilson Red family holding hands and standing in front of Wilson's house is like 4 numbers 1. In Eastern culture, number 4 represents death (Death). If you write the number 1 as a type "l" then 11:11 = l l: l l, looking in the mirror will not make a difference. Why do I bring a mirror here, because Nextphim has read through the mirror image phenomenon - Mirror Image (typically the case of President Abraham Lincoln), a bit similar to Doppelgänger - the concept that inspired Peele make the movie Us.

While most people are afraid of the number 13, I am more afraid of the number 11, every year often worried when the 11/11 came because of having bad luck on this day. ll: ll also reminds of "Trump wall" after being replaced by steel fence instead of the wall as originally planned.

1986 - was the year of the "Hands Across America" ​​movement, a significant historical event when more than 6.5 million Americans joined the big arms calling for fighting hunger, to support the poor and homeless populate. Notice that the white shirt that Adelaide Wilson (Lupita Nyong’o) wore at the beginning of the film (dressed inside the winning black shirt) also has the words "Hands Across America".

This was the point that swirled deep in Adelaide's memories that made her plan for the future, the reason why she was discussing it but a thought flashed through my mind. Anyone who has seen it will know that "Us" has a twist plot that is Adelaide white (distinguishes Red) as fake Adelaide - doppelganger, and Adelaide red is real. While also the "Hands Across" but if the bracelet of 1986 shows solidarity for the common goal of the whole society, the current Red bracelet is a split, divided by the main "scissors" treatment, showing discrimination, ethnic conflict. Through the image of a group of people in red holding hands stretching, Peele led the audience to contact
