What's even more painful to realize is that the surface humans - except for Adelaide - are not even aware of their existence until much later, which means they don't know just how good they have it.
#Theories about us movie movie#
Reddit user Rydizzle234 also argues that the movie is about social inequality: "The main message of the movie in my mind is expressed near the end of the film when one of the characters mentions something like 'We all look alike, with flesh and blood yet we live very different lives.' This illustrates the fact that we are all human and equal in our creation but disparity varies rapidly here in the US and worldwide between the classes." Can we begrudge Adelaide any more than we can Red, who returns to take back what she feels is rightfully hers in an epic game of survival of the fittest? Adelaide ruthlessly climbs her way up the social ladder because the capitalistic institutions in place seem to prevent her or her fellow doppelgängers from achieving success any other way. The latter are literally below their counterparts in all facets of life, it seems, forced to suffer at the expenses of the privileged and wealthy. It's pretty obvious that there's a significant disparity in social class between the surface humans and their doppelgängers. Whether their uprising becomes a success unlike the real event is left open-ended, but the way the camera pans across the landscape at the end of the movie and shows the span of them holding hands in solidarity suggests a new, potentially dystopian future.
When the doppelgängers recreate this event, they are blindly reverting to a publicized event that boosted morale but wasn't effective instead of fighting against nationwide poverty, they are fighting against their own oppression and homelessness on the surface - even if their execution is questionable.
Peele told Vanity Fair: "It's a great gesture - but you can't actually cure hunger and all that." Is Peele suggesting that the event can't help the doppelgängers either? Perhaps. Ironically, in trying to prove they're Americans, the doppelgängers tether themselves to a piece of controversial American history in the form of 1986 charity event "Hands Across America." It included participants from all walks of life fighting against poverty, but ended up being somewhat of a fundraising failure. In an interview with The Root, Peele said, "hen I decided to write this movie, I was stricken with the fact that we are in a time where we fear the other, whether it is the mysterious invader that we think is going to come and kill us or take our jobs or the faction that we don't live near that voted a different way than us." When Red's family invades the Wilson home, Gabe asks them: "What are you people?" to which Red replies, "We're Americans." Red wants people to see the Tethered members of the same society as the "regular" people. They are seen as "other," and Peele plays up their creepiness as a way to subvert the stereotypes. Not only does the real Adelaide (Red) suggest the US government created doppelgängers (the Tethered) in an attempt to control society - a problematic concept on its own - but the members of the Tethered are ostracized from society to the point where they are kept and later abandoned underground. And the rest of the story you already know.Us seems to offer a grim past, present, and future of the United States. It is then in the same mental hospital that he meets Harley Quin, who falls in love with him and helps him to escape. Both Bill and Beatrix knew that the five-point palm exploding heart technique was not real.īeatrix used it on Bill as a symbolic gesture, an indication that if he would play along and pretend to be dead, she would spare his life and take her daughter with her.Īnd that's exactly what he did because in the end-credits scene of the movie, you can see all the dead characters' names crossed off, except for Bill's.ĭavid Fincher's Se7en is set in a dark urban environment, which many fans have seen as similar to Batman's Gotham.Īccording to the theory, after David Mills shoots and kills John Doe, he is taken to a mental hospital, where he goes insane and becomes obsessed with Batman as a former detective. In Kill Bill, Bill doesn't actually die at the end. This one is so good, and so Tarantino-esque, that it should be mre than just a theory. He just stands there with a weird grin on his face and when Gimli enters, Frodo resumes calling out his friends' names. Frodo never says Legolas' name and the final scene of The Return of the King in the hospital bears this out.Īs everyone rushes in, Frodo excitedly calls out each person's name, except for Legolas. According to this fun fan theory, Frodo never really did know the name of Orlando Bloom's character.
