The son knows because he saw it in his mother when she was fighting. You guys missed her grunting noises. The were but normal. It was like that other part of her was slipping out.
A lot of people miss that part, it's very subtle. That also makes the children 1/2 tethered, which is why the boy figured out how to kill his doppelganger. The doppelgangers of the children are also half human. I also think the son inherited more of the tethered traits from his mother than his sister did. That might explain his behavior. He may have actually figured it out before he saw his mother in action. He realized he had control over his doppelganger before he saw anything. His sister could have probably done the same thing with hers.
Hands across america was the nation's attempt to literally hold hands all the way across the nation in an attempt to show solidarity, unity and peace...many schools and kids participated in it along with adults. I love that Jen knew what the acronym chud meant...I didn't know and wondered.🤔So thank you! Really enjoy your reactions you two.😊💚
It was hypocritical because it was supposed to be against poverty but it took so much money to fundraise for the event. The money it took for the event to happen could have helped so many families not be homeless anymore. So the event was highly criticized.
Still can’t decide if this or “Nope” is my favorite from Peele. This was the first film in ages that made me loose sleep so I say it did a great job. In case you missed it, the underlined social commentary on this film was about classism in the United States.
the more you watch this movie the more you catch. There are a lot of little details that are easy to miss. Lots of shadows and reflections and double imagery, lots of clues that reveal the mom's true identity like her grunting while fighting, like her showing compassion when the copies are hurt (the other daughter dying in the tree, the other son walking into the fire). also this movie has one of the best trailers
Discovered your channel tonight and have been watching your videos for hours lol Im glad you watched many of my favourite movies which made it even more fun to see your reactions
Love this movie so much and it creeped me out when I saw it in the theaters. All the actors here deserve awards for their prefomances because they did an amazing job at playing both them and the shadows as well. I do like the twist at the end because I never saw that coming but now that I think about it that makes sense that the 'shadow' was the real girl. If you want to see more horror from Elizabeth then check out the 2020 movie The Invisible Man she does an amazing job there too and it's a good movie as well. The actresess that play the twins are the ones that played Emma, Ross and Rachel's daughter in Friends which is interesting. Good reaction as always and I think his point in this one is the rich vs the poor and how they have everything and the poor have to get by with what they can afford.
I especially loved Elisabeth Moss' performance in this. She's been blowing me away since The Handmaid's Tale. Also, I totally took part in Hands Across America. I was still so little that when my mom and our friend took my hands, I swung between them lol It took place on my second birthday 😅
Love your relationship. Not sure if someone mentioned this but if you notice, one of the last things the original Adelaide saw on TV before going to the carnival was the Hands Across America ad. I would guess based on her limited knowledge that is what she thought would make the best statement.
This is definitely a different type of movie! 😊 Very unique. Have you guys seen You’re Next ? It would be a very good movie to watch for this spooky season. A very good underrated thriller!🙌🏻
This movie is an enjoyable watch. Watching a second time or so, it’s hard to ignore the many big plot holes. I’m normally not picky about that stuff. But some of it was too crazy to ignore. This certainly was no match for his first film. But it was fun watching.
I probably have to talk to the Maker of this movie.. while sober.. nowhere near Mothers Day.... nowhere near a cabin or Ocean to unpack the questions, feelings and how the ending was supposed to be...... complete. Please understand I , personally was torn and only watched this again through you guys reaction. I realized I only watched this thr ONE TIME. Maybe the being lost in a tunnel near the ocean. Maybe because i love swimming and I HAVE had my kids run off in a place I didn't wanna be . Im rewatching this reaction because i can't watch it alone. As a mother it just made me sick and feel like I was gonna pop or throw up. Im sorry .. I have a fear that my kids will think the snatcher is me.😢
At the end when they are driving away, the boy looks at his mother with mistrust. Not knowing which version she really was. The mother does the same thing. She looks at him. They are both wondering if the other one is real. His holding of the rabbit adds to that question. Then you mother smile and son pull don his mask, both realizing it doesn’t matter. They will accept each other… with a little bit of doubt. To me, this is better than Get Out. The mood with the soundtrack really sets a great tone that lasts through the film.
It's not hard to draw a class analysis metaphor from this: the tethered suffer, with no or little will of their own, living a mirror life to the people above, hoping for freedom; the underclasses in capitalist society attempt to mimic the comforts, pleasures, indulgences of the bourgeoisie, the ruling capitalist class, in a farcical game of pretend. The main underlying theme in the film deals with income inequality, specifically in America. When Gabe asks, “Who are you people?” Red replies “We’re Americans,” and even the title of the film is an indicator (Us / U.S.). “The film is an allegory about a nation so divided between those above and below that it feels like the only outcome is a bloody one of self-destruction.” The final battle even takes place in a classroom at some point... it’s literally a “class struggle”. The tethered demonstrate that the differences between people are superficial and based on our status and upbringing. They’re “us” without the luxury of choice many people of privilege take for granted.In contrast to the tethered, the Wilsons are representative of the middle class. They are a perfectly functional family unit, living comfortably and even affording some luxuries like a vacation home and a boat. However, they make envious remarks about the Tylers who have better things- a nicer house, car, and the latest technology. They represent the upper class. They live very wealthy lives, drink all day, and barely talk to one another. This idea of being a member of the middle class looking up is even foreshadowed early on when young Adelaide’s dad is winning her a prize. The man at the booth tells them they can currently walk away with a prize from the second level… or keep playing for a chance to win a prize from the highest level. Peele’s main focus in this exploration of social class is centered on Adelaide. She is someone who rose up from the lower class (through wrongful means) and now fights tooth and nail to protect her new status. She seized her opportunity and ran with it, pretending that the generations of struggle she came from didn’t exist and that as long as she looked the other way, she didn’t have to return to it. Red was left behind to rot and lost her status, so she attempts to reclaim it by starting a revolution since she is the only one below who is aware of the life she is missing out on. This dynamic gives added meaning to the moment when Red tells Adelaide that they could have escaped together all those years ago instead of Adelaide leaving her behind. Red essentially tells Adelaide that she didn’t have to drag her down to pull herself up. Adelaide is aware of this and shows survivor’s guilt when she sympathizes with the tethered children as they die. She takes pity and sees herself in them since they were just trying to do the same thing she had managed to accomplish. A noteworthy detail in the film is that the escalator connecting the surface world to the underground only goes down. Many times in society we hear how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer and that it’s systematic. This is symbolized by an escalator that is built to always go down, never lifting people up and forcing them to stay in their undesirable situations. There is a great deal of moral ambiguity to the film and it’s difficult to ascertain which side is good and which is evil. It’s just as difficult in real life, so much so that we often decide to do what Jason does in the end: put his mask back on and just go with the flow. However, that may just perpetuate the cycle of choosing not to truly evaluate who we are, both as individuals and as a society, and thus turn a blind eye to the problem until it becomes undeniable as it does in the film. It is possible that Jason was swapped out also during last year’s trip to the vacation home. The family makes multiple remarks about last year: When Jason is asked about his magic trick, he said he left it there last year, but he doesn’t know how to make it work anymore. Also, when he gets locked in the closet, his sister comments “Didn’t this happen last year?” He seems to have forgotten a lot in the past year, and when the doppelgangers come to the driveway and his dad asks Jason to get the bat, he remarks “What bat?” while his sister immediately knows where it is. The most striking detail comes when Adelaide is trying to get him to snap on rhythm. He has a hard time doing so, and Adelaide isn’t in rhythm either, hinting that they are both tethered. This comes into play later on when Pluto is holding the match and is snapping perfectly in rhythm. It’s as if he’s letting Adelaide know that it’s actually him and he smiles at Jason as if to say, “She knows I’m her real son.” Then when he dies in front of her, Adelaide yells out “No!” and reaches out, shedding tears for the death of the son she’s been raising all this time, excluding the past year. He couldn’t speak because of the burns on his face, and considering Adelaide was silenced by her doppelganger who crushed her throat when they switched places, the real Jason was likely silenced by his tethered counterpart when they switched. He probably tried to do the same magic trick last year, and while it didn’t work for him on the surface, the real Jason was underground playing with a match instead of a lighter and burned his mouth, searing it shut. This specific commentary shows us that seemingly innocuous actions done by the upper class often have devastating consequences for the lower class. There are a number of other signs in the film that point to Jason being a tethered as well: -Jason, like Adelaide, doesn’t talk much and is much closer to her than his dad or sister -His family comments in the car that he has been using strange new vocabulary -The girls at the beach make fun of him because he’s building a sand ... tunnel -Like his mother who was eating strawberries, he was the only other family member who wasn’t eating fish, perhaps because he was also tired of eating meat as a tethered -Adelaide and Jason are the only two whose doppelgangers aren’t trying to kill them. Red did towards the end but hers was calculated and prolonged. Pluto just wanted to play with Jason -Pluto tries to communicate with Jason in the closet. Pluto and Red are the only doppelgangers who attempt to communicate with a surface dweller -When the twins first attack, they only attack the sister… they know Jason is a tethered -The name Pluto might also be a bit of a giveaway. Pluto was widely considered to be just another planet until recent years, just like the real Jason who was just a regular kid until a year ago when he was swapped out and shunned by society.
I would like to suggest Gothika for a Halloween movie. A underrated movie. Has Robert Downey, Hallie Berry. A Doctor, a serial killer,a ghost and revenge. A doctor ( berry) leaves work and wakes up in the asylum where she works accused of killing her husband with a axe. She denies all knowledge of this and then the movie has begun....who? Why?
I'm not a patron member and couldn't find an email to send you requests. I would love to see your reactions to the Tom Hanks horror comedy classic The 'Burbs. It's so funny and I know your reaction will be, as well. ❤
@@carladavis1473 I enjoyed it...why didn't you? I'm not going to suggest something unless I genuinely enjoyed it for one reason or another. Besides, it's really up to them...they seem to be on a certain theme. Nope is another movie I really really liked!!!
it’s about race and class. it’s about how people who live good and privileged lives must do so at the expense of other less fortunate people, but that doesn’t make them bad people because that’s just the way the system is. the mom escaped “poverty” or being tethered but at the expense of another.

This is actually a true "HORROR" movie, without all of the jump scares and splatter gore.
Yes, it does have some, but this is truly SCARY.
Alright, that settles it; I am a big fan of ya'll. Excuse me as I binge-watch a boat load of your videos haha
❤
Thanks!! Enjoy!
It’s actually perfect commentary on a lot more than just “us”. It’s also about “the U.S.”
This is one of those films where the more you re-watch the more things click and make you go "oh, that makes sense".
She didn't know much. She shared what she remembers hands across America being on of them.
Discovered your channel tonight and have been watching your videos for hours lol Im glad you watched many of my favourite movies which made it even more fun to see your reactions

This movie perfectly encaptulates classism when we look at the two adelaides
