The genius of "US" as morality play

Both Adelaide and Red are right and utterly wrong.

One is justifiably enraged but committing indiscriminate atrocities.

One is noble now, but was far from that at one point.

We can be for and against them at the same time, for different reasons.

They're perfect moral foils.

>people actually believe the sons were switched

Ugh. The sons were NOT switched.

Adelaide and Red ARE their legitimate mothers. Fire boy died BEFORE normal boy was seized.

One reason the boy isn't going to rat on her is because he now knows the truth about himself and his sister.

It's also why the kids on both sides have unusual gifts. Unusual lineages.

There is zero evidence of this.

"OMG the son didn't rat on the woman he's known his whole life!"

what unusual gifts?

The power to commit disproportionately high amounts of crime

So the hero with the shady past and the noble villain who’s committing evil dichotomy that’s been done in dozens of better movies. Us is far from a genius morality play you redditor. The characters are too goofy and simplistic. It’s a movie that teases half baked ideas for teenagers.

The switch had literally no bearing on anything in the story other than allowing Red to have a voice so she could exposit

lmao I can't even see them

If only this wasn't in a framing of an utterly retarded story.

Wow, morally ambiguous characters, so innovating, such genius

Both daughters are absurdly fast, both sons excel at setting up traps. They're all half-Tether, after all. It's not an accident the more human a member of the Tether family is, the more dangerous they are (the father is the only full Tether and the easiest to take out).

Let me ask you this guys.

Who is more evil? Red or Adelaide?

Sounds like Nier Automata music.

I love how that it knows exactly how much power bass and baritone voices can have, blaring at once.

It's something absent from way too modern music in favor of high-pitch voices.

When all those basses and baritones sung in unison at "San-Nah Ree-Too" and went quite low in note, you felt the power in the theater from those big audio speakers.

>reddit spacing

The movie would have been better if it didnt try to explain itself.
What is the experiment? When did it happen? Why hadnt anybody noticed? How can 400 million americans subsist on rabbit yet look exactly like their originals? If the movie is set in America and features a literal invasion, why doesn't anybody get shot? Where is the military? Why is Adelaide a normal human being despite having grown up in the underground? Why is everything full of rabbit yet not a single poop is seen?
It felt like Junji Ito without the actual horror of not knowing exactly what the fuck is going on.

"Adelaide" is Tether but raised by humans & surrounded by humanity. She adapted.

Is this in a language or is it gibberish?

I think it's meant to be the anthem of the Tethers, hence the song is made up of nonsense vocalizations that only make sense to them.

Even the title is a stealth pun when you combined it with the movie title.

"US - Anthem" (Us And Them).

niggas be discussing philosophy when im just thinking that was a funny ass movie

Don't care. It's "horror" which means it targets the same audience as the Fast Five franchise. Overthinking here is a waste of energy.
