Do you think we will get to see Lupita headline any more kino in the future? Seriously, she is wonderful in this

Why didn’t original lupita just escape when she got uncuffed

How are the two connected? It's not like these are the first doppelganger stories.

They're connected in that they are good and interesting, whereas everything Yea Forums wants to screech and spam about is predictable and boring

The movie was so fucking bad, jesus.
Watched it yesterday at the kinoplex.
She did good though, the only thing of some worth in that whole mess

Us is one of the most predictable and boring movies I've ever seen.

Thats her eye mong

it's a mask, i don't get what you're saying. the mask factually doesn't have eyes.

>le teary eyed negro
Is Jordan peele a hack? Guy just keeps making the same cringey shit over and over again

>it's her eye
>the mask doesn't have eyes
lol thanks for reminding me why I love this board

He is a hack but this movie is quite different from Get Out, I guess he just wants the teary, bulbous negro eye to be his recurring motif.

i think this was really really bad. i hate this term but it' reddit to wank yourself silly over its "so deep layering" and the "symbolism".

What happened to making a movie that's just a movie designed to entertain, with a coherent narrative, full bodied characters etc.? Imagine nolan coming out with something like this pseudointellectual arrogant smug garbage, lol.

this is literally 2019 mulholland drive, both of them equally terrible (actually, no, us is definitely worse. at least mulholland drive didn't try to be xD so ironic and funny and SCARY

(the violence in this shit movie was so nasty and vile))

--- had to add this shit on the end as "our system thinks your post is spam." what a garbage website this is, almost as bad as that piece of shit movie designed for sub 115iq people to google afterwards for 3 hours and then act as if they understood all the meme imagery straight away

>I guess he just wants the teary, bulbous negro eye to be his recurring motif.
it's so hideous though. legitimately looks like the putrid, decaying eye of a dead animal about to pop out of its socket

She's been FASSBENDERED right?

why do you type like this

The film would be so much better if it was about white people. I cannot relate to any of the characters because they're so far removed from me? Is this how negroes feel when they watch films starring white people?

I hope not, she's really ugly. If an actress is ugly then she's just worthless.

i dont post much, i felt strongly enough about this film to expend the energy to write something. i spend so much time in the real world writing stuff that sounds good (no brag i fail most of the time) that on some random message board i wanna just type like a retard

>Imagine nolan coming out with something like this pseudointellectual arrogant smug garbage, lol.

That is Interstellar and Inception.

nah. the core purpose of those movies was to entertain and create overwhelming emotional and visceral experiences. the purpose of this movie was just for jordan peele to show off how clever he in a very very grad school way

She's not ugly at all.

Honestly I thought she was overacting like crazy, not good at all. She was the weak link of the cast for me - the dad's Jordan Peele impersonation was funny and the kids were pretty good. I liked "Get Out" but I'm honestly confused by all the praise for this one. it was like a 5/10.

She looks like a Malteser candy

>black family wealthy enough to own a summer home in the mountains and stay there for long periods of time

You're getting dabbed on you complete and utter idiot

A bit overacted for my taste. The hoarse voice didn't really work for me, either.

Was this a cabin in the woods level satire/comedy? The theater laughed throughout the entire movie bi thought it was a horror

This was my experience as well. I'm still not convinced that *all*the times this movie's funny that it's intending to be. There's a fine line between horror and comedy.

There is some satire. It is a horror film but it has a lot of funny sequences, too. There is nothing wrong with that.

She’s the lead in John Woo’s The Killer

imdb.com/title/tt1121948

>The long awaited English language remake of John Woo's revered 1989 heroic bloodshed masterpiece 'The Killer'.

The ending was dumb. Lupita being the clone and not the real Lupita doesn't work.

I find it very lame that Peele has only made his second film, and hes reusing the imagery of a crying black person.
I thought the image was lame in get out, but hey whatever, but to see it done again..in his second movie. Really helps point out his lack of creativity. The red jump suits and brown gloves look lame too and everything I hear about this movie sounds fucking horrible. Tethers and dancing..ugh. and then the posters and promo work for the movie. Those posters suck, the font used for "US" is too busy and doesnt fit in theme with the posters.
Really corny shit.

i thought they couldnt into vocalizations so how did she do it

why god why?

Symbolism is the death of art because it lets hacks make shitty movies and the autistic retards here will bend over backwards trying to outperform everyone on how deep they are by grasping at straws for symbolism, and since its subjective and unless peele sets the record straight faggots can do it forever. Its honestly pathetic but very effective because it makes the autist feel both creative and intelligent.

jesus fuck i'm going to suicide bomb the set of that movie.

you dont want to be called a racist, now do you user?

>tonally inconsistent
>a blatant sign of bad writing
And heres why thats a GOOD thing

YOU FUCKING RACIST

he didn't design the poster you know

if you're talking about the nigger on the cover you need to get your eyes checked. that bitch is hideous

The parents worked extra hard to love her and teach her and show her how to express herself, just like the therapist showed the parents.

The real question is how did real-Lupita forget how to talk? Why does she talk in the monster voice? Why does she say "If only you would have take me with you" about the mirror house? Why is she talking about all of this "tethered" bullshit literally one scene prior?

And there's maybe 100 rooms in that facility, how did the clones have so many clones that they were able to take over the area/the world?

I think she is a decent actress but she was overacting in this waaay too hard. The voice did not work, felt forced.

The voice made no sense a child couldnt crush someones larynx so easily and after 20 years youd learn to talk normally

>The real question is how did real-Lupita forget how to talk?
damaged vocal cords, I think. The doppelgänger girl choked her pretty hard when they switched places.

Is that supposed to be in his defense?
He should have some word on the poster's designs. He should have the ability to see em and accept or reject them, butaybe he doesnt have the final word.

Either way, WHOEVER went with the crying black, shouldve left it at get out, if peele is responsible, hes lame. If others copied get out and the crying black simply because its peele's movie, theyre morons and peele shouldve said something against it.

But the film was not sure if it wanted to be a horror movie with funny moments or a dark comedy satire... so it just ended up as an awkward mix. My theater laughed at many moments that I felt were supposed to be scary and the "quips" were very hit or miss.

Shitty reveal, shitty premise, good actors, good opening. White family got BTFO by their doppelgangers.

See

I think it is much more the first than the second. The latter half of the movie was almost completely horror, especially with the haunting fight/dance sequence between the two Lupitas.

My theater wasn't haunted by it. They were chuckling at it, because it's too stylized to take seriously.

if it's not medically accurate, then that's hardly the biggest "plot hole" in this mess. But I was just answering the user's question - the voice was meant to be a result of getting choked & dragged, whether or not it'd happen that way in real life, that was the reason in context of the film

Let’s hope so ... She is good. By the way, I heard she is gonna be in Gun-Fu flick by John Woo. Do you know whatever happened to THAT !?

i was at the same theater as this guy and no one chuckled.

It is probably a timeshare. The husband seems like the kind of person to fall for this scam.

It seemed like both of them forgot about what happened to them - the "real" one never even mentioned or hinted toward Lupita swapping places with her and Lupita didn't seem to realize everything until the very end. I assumed that the "real" one lost a lot of herself and her memory in the underground including the use of her voice.

You do realize Africans have been legally immigrating to western nations since slavery was abolished, right?

Not when this kino music was playing.

are you kidding me? Adelaide tells her husband right before Red shows up about what happened to her in the mirror house and that she feels like Red is always coming for her. They both remembered everything.

Sounds like a spawn of Sneed.

Who is to know how long she was stuck there? Also wasn’t she raped?

I'm to know. The whole audience is - somewhere upwards of twenty years. In sight of an escalator that led back to her life.

Us tried a bunch of different things but half assed everything. The dialogue, music, editing and acting were pretty good. However the plot was overwrought garbage. The voice of the 'other' was fucking stupid. It completely took me out of the movie. I feel like it had all the ingredients for a good movie, but fell flat on it's face.

I want to cum on Lupita's lips and rub my dick all over them

So what was the significance of the coincidences at the beginning of the movie? More coincidences happening we're mentioned twice, but it didn't seem to matter.

Biggest problem for me

something being medically accurate doesn't make it a plot hole. It's a fucking movie

For the record I'm agreeing with you

Shit was great at the end

Maybe when the clone was getting therapy to act more like a human, the Tethered were forcing the original to act more like them.

Kek

She will get an Oscar nom and also win. Screencap this.

And being the only one who could talk. This movie is like swiss cheese. Glad I saw it for free.

I was making fun of the absurd question posed by OP. Of course she will be in more movies

Should get best actress and best supporting actress.

Since she is a POC that may happen brother.

Curious but has anyone ever been nominated for playing two different characters? Do they go with the one with the most screentime?

Or do what says? I know an actor can't be nominated in the same category twice in the same year but there is no rule about other categories.

Wouldn't mind at all.
If nothing else it'd make the Oscars interesting for a change.

It would be entertaining if she did her Tethered character live.

This. It's not like there are many opportunities like this.

Of course it does.

Red (original Adelaide in actuality) lost her voice because Adelaide (actually Red) strangled her and damaged her voice. She also rarely spoke since the Tethereds could not.

This combo damaged her voice.

Basically, Red is a human-raised Tether, Adelaide is a Tether-raised human, and all four children are thus Tether-human hybrids.

This is also why the kids are so unusual (the son is weird, the daughter is quite fast), and part of why "Adelaide" is fiercely protective of them.

And the reason she never joins the Tethers is because she's been excommunicated from their ranks (the sworn enemy of their "messiah" "Red").

"Adelaide" can never be of any allegiance but to humanity. It's all she's known for most of her life.

An exile.

HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW!?

Lupita was definitely one of the few positives, perhaps even the saving grace making me less mad about supporting this film.

For once I agree with what most of you guys are saying here, the overwhelming praise 'Us' is receiving genuinely feels like:
>Wow Jordan great film buddy! I'm gonna put it right here on the fridge for everyone to admire :D

It's a great character study. There are so many hints Adelaide is not who she appears to be.

And I know you're going to ask me what the hints were, I'm just waiting for you to call my bluff.

The way in which she speaks about and avoids the beach? The way she succumbs to the orders? The way in which she responds to violence and the way in which she kills?

To me a "great character study" is one that actually pulls me in, I felt like I saw right through this film 90% of the time, Lupita is a great actress but even she couldn't save it from Peele's self-indulgence.

>mfw Lupita has a top tier ass
>mfw SWfags give her a shit tier cgi character to play.
Seriously, how gay are the fags in charge of SW?

That was one of the coolest details for sure.

She also gave up dancing because she kept seeing the person whose life she stole. Why she's so hellbent on being a good mother.

She knows what she did was wrong. She's trying so hard to bury the wicked child she was.

I didn't get spoilered before watching it and not only you can tell from the get go theres something 'juicy' going on after the prologue but yeah, during the movie you can totally tell theres something not right with her, i was expecting something not really in your face at the end instead of the flashback, i was expecting her to teld the other one that she never learned to wistle or something more subtle, but i guess Peele knows plebs also watch his stuff.

Adelaide is constantly at war with herself. The demonic child she was and the loving mother she's remade herself into. They're always almost always at odds.

But when they line up (the devil child's desire to hide her past and the mother's sheer rage at having her kid taken from her), she's pretty much unstoppable.

That's cool man, I'm glad you can get something out of it - I guess I kinda secretly wish I could too because I LOVE analysing films and noticing little details, but this one was just the opposite of captivating for me.

Same.

You see it at the end. The roar of the enraged mother, the gleeful laughing at the devil-child.

nigger

I love it as a morality play.

A child with nothing, doing a terrible act to get free, and trying SO HARD to atone & scared to death one day her sins will catch up to her.

A second child with everything, losing it all, and driven mad. She will burn down the whole world in her insanity, including sadistically and personally torment families.

So.....

Who is more evil? The "Human" of us or the "Tether" of them?

I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS MOVIE YET

What are the chances that it's a metaphor for a certain part of the black experience?

Attached: john rofls.jpg (474x287, 22K)

You really see it at the end. The loving mother is trying so hard to shove the devil-child part of herself back in the antic upon seeing her son again.

The logistics of this movie don't make sense

I love how Red moved and walked.

I got the whole "the government starts helping us then abandons us" metaphor, but the explanation of the Tethered origins needed more detail.

I would bought lab accident over gov conspiracy (think the accident that created the alternate dimension in "Counterpart").

Very evil ballet dancer.

I find it hard to believe just one Tether managed to go into exile. There must be others "no longer part of the group".

If the tethers have to move the way their counterparts do, how do they stage a revolution? Is there supposed to be one for literally everyone in America?

The film was good for the first half and then became entirely retarded. Nyongo was good the whole way through though

Story wise no everything entirely fell apart in the second half, but the sequence itself and the way it was filmed was kino

My impression is that they learned to overcome it. The hybrid arsonist child did it out of habit.

And let's face it, you-know-who definitely overcame that problem. It's how she passed.

Because by this point, she had grown to identify the Tethered as her brethren.

Radicalized. "It took years of planning". She stayed and schemed.

She and Adelaide are foils for each other.

The Tether-raised human, the human-raised Tether. Both producing hybrids.

The movie was shit, but Lupita was amazing.

>this is literally 2019 mulholland drive, both of them equally terrible
Mulholland Drive isn't boring tryhard shit. If you said Lost Highway maybe I could agree with you but Lost Highway was still way more sincere than Us.

That being said, it really is "Adelaide" who is totally alone. By one act she did as a child and has been paying for ever since.

>I didn't see the movie but this is why it's bad

>The real question is how did real-Lupita forget how to talk? Why does she talk in the monster voice?
fake Lupita choked her in the funhouse as a kid.

>They were chuckling at it, because it's too stylized to take seriously.
I know we're only two movies in but I think Jordan Peele might benefit a lot from leaving conventional narrative storytelling behind and taking a more surrealist approach.

Correct. Choked her until she passed out.

Young "Adelaide" was a lot more vicious than Mom "Adelaide". She got her morality from being raised human, which is why she's a lot more noble grown-up. The gap so wide, she eventually remade the past in her mind as "her" being attacked by "the copy". She no longer recognized her past self as "her". She renounced it.

We need to see more of her fat ass

Attached: DDr_aVsWAAEGlUk.jpg (500x718, 77K)

When she said, "I feel like she's getting closer", she's really talking about the part of herself she's tried to bury from the memories. The part that fills her with guilt, fear, and self-loathing.

Go back to stormfront

I do love the irony of it. "Adelaide" is terrified.....of herself.

It's why she also insists the kids stay close to her at all times. She knows all too well what the Tethers are capable of.

She's batting for the other team now.

But both Red and Adelaide are prisoners. "Adelaide" cannot escape the human race, being an Exile. Her fate is permanently tied to us. We go down, she goes down with us.

>? Adelaide tells her husband right before Red shows up about what happened to her in the mirror house and that she feels like Red is always coming for her. They both remembered everything.
Yes, they both remembered everything wrong. Adelaide told her husband that she wandered off and that she was the victim. Adelaide really thought she was Adelaide and Red really thought she was Red.

Same. I'm glad I didn't pay for it but I don't regret seeing it. Visually, the movie was fantastic. I keep thinking of the last shot where you see the Tethered hand in hand over the mountains. And it has a great original soundtrack. It's like everything about the movie perfect, only for the script to completely ruin it.

Hating on cocoa butter. baka

The initials for "shaking my head" are censored on here too? Fucking site is a joke.

Correct. They coped with the trauma in mirrored form. They rewrote history.

Red is the heroic savior of the Tethers, "The Shadow". The exceptional Tether. Not a powerless victim.

Adelaide is the poor traumatized kid who overcame a past encounter and is now a loving mother. Not a demonic child.

Neither wanted to face the truth about themselves. They remade themselves to fit their surroundings and view of themselves.

Both exiled from their own kind and casting their lot with "the other".

>The tethered clearly get upset or pissed off when one of their own get killed
>The blonde tether hesitated to kill the "Adelaide" but she had no problems stabbing the tether

Also if the son was watching in the locker after he got kidnapped, what are the chances that the real Adelaide told him what happened?

The twist was immediately obvious from the very first scene, but Adelaide was written/acted really well. The strongest parts of the movie were when it was focused on her and her relationship with Jason. It honestly might've been a much better movie if the husband and daughter were written out completely.

>She knows what she did was wrong. She's trying so hard to bury the wicked child she was.
I think the movie is pretty clear about the fact that she forgot she was one of the Tethered until the end. While she (mis)remembers what happened to her as a kid at the carnival, throughout the entire movie Adelaide comes off as lost and anxious like she's forgetting something.

But two clues that she isn't who she thinks she is that I picked up a few hours after seeing the movie were her snapping out of rhythm in the car and her going to inspect the dead body of the tethered version of her daughter in the forest. It's obvious they killed her but she gets out of the car anyway to look at the body and lingers.

I love Jordan Peele!

Attached: jordan peele.png (768x984, 37K)

The son won't tell on her. She actually IS his mother in terms of giving birth and raising him. He is half-Tether by heritage.

"Red" is his real mom in the academic time-travel sense. She WOULD have been his real mom if things had turned out different. But "Adelaide" ended up the one who gave birth to and raised him.

It's a metaphor for classism, not specifically black people

I didn't mind the family dynamic. I just wish the movie had spend more time exploring it.

The "human" still struggling to be human.

However, even though she remembers the truth about herself, I don't think she's going to go around being a cackling crazy or anything stupid like that.

She's been kicked out of that club thanks to "Red". She's been raised with our values virtually her whole life. And she knows she can, for obvious reasons, fight any Tether who dares get in her way. She has all their power combined with her taught intelligence.

That's probably the most accurate. "Adelaide" is the equivalent of someone committing identity-theft to rise above their terrible status.

But there is clearly good in her, which we do see repeatedly.

As for why the hybrids turned out different, Adelaide had access to education, good food, advanced medicine, a healthy environment to raise them, etc. Red had none of that. Of course her kids went insane.

Nigga she did not fucking remember she was a Tether

i dont give two shits about this stupid movie, i wanna see the armond review

At the END she remembered, plain as day. It's why she gave that wicked-kid-from-her-past smile at the end. She relapsed for a moment. What I'm saying is, she's not going to turn on her family. It is still her family. Her upbringing is her upbringing. The other Tethers are still her enemies.

No fucking lie this is what it was at my theater. 2 black guys next to my friend and I. One on their phone the whole movie full brightness. 2 fags in front of us laughing at every single thing. The entire theater was filled with fucking apes laughing throughout the movie even at serious moments. Completely ruined the movie.

Nope, she knew the whole time. The premise was that an evil person can turn good, and vice versa. They switched roles.

>First time I see the movie
>No one will shut up and let me hear the dialogue
>Second time I see the movie
>No one reacts to anything...including the JOKES.

Also the reason the kid was looking at her that way is because he knew she was evil. He'd seen her evil laugh and sadistic way of killing.

The amount of autists that gather at a showing of a new movie is astronomical. I'm still trying to understand the mentality of these people.

When you see her panic over her missing kid, you know she's pulled a total reverse from her original personality. She's gone from being a demonic kid who attacked an innocent child to a fiercely protective mother who would attack Tethers like her past self.

Evil's relative. The victim and original slaughtered who-knows-how-many-people in her quest for revenge. How many families did she destroy?

By number of lives destroyed and people murdered, "Red" is more evil.

I agree. What I really meant was that she was the original evil. She had a deep rooted sadistic personality, even know she's on the 'good' side now.

This.

It shows her stumbling along with the clone's ballet on the surface, so apparently somehow the "tether" worked the other way and kept her trapped most of the time.

This movie had great visuals, great acting and shit logic.

A personality she has managed to contain to a degree. She allowed the girl in the tree to quietly die in peace, and tried to stop the boy from rampaging.

But she knew "Red" would never stop. The whistling finally set her off, and the two halves of her went wild after her victory. The roar of a raging mother, the glee of the demon child.

For once, she allowed her childhood personality to fully bare itself in a primal frenzy.

(Also God I hope there's a novelization one day where it's told from the perspective of "Adelaide". I have a feeling it would be incredible).

What were the plot Holes you had big problems with?

>I can't hold it in. The catharsis is too overwhelming. I scream all that buried fury into the darkness. All the pain I know I brought on myself. But there is no forgiveness for what she did to my family. Then I feel it. I feel HER trying to break free. Past me. The renounced side. For once, I let her speak. I feel my features contort. And I laugh, without shame. A terrible and sadistic laugh of glee echoes in the empty room. Any other time, I would be frightened of her. But this time, I feel free. For once, the past and the present are one. I know the terrible risk I'm taking, letting her out. I know this moment will horrify me for life. But I need to do it. I need to enjoy this, this part of me. The part I would hate any other time, but in this moment. I need to smile and laugh. What terrorized my family is gone. The terror that put them in danger is threatening to grab the steering wheel, and I suddenly realize my complete idiocy at what I'm doing. The terror that was, and is, me.

That's the true beauty of the film. It plays with your sense of morality.

By original sin, "Adelaide" set it all in motion and ruined a single innocent's life. But "Red" was the one who organized the indiscriminate mass murder of innocent people, including children.

Nah, she'll forever be tethered to this shit heap.

I really think Jordan Peele didn't fully grasp how ripe the material was for a character study.

How much of her is Tether and how much is human?

Adelaide thinks back on her sins and ponders damnation (1:26-1:48).
