Meanwhile, Adelaide is plagued with an unexplainable trauma from her past which keeps her on edge.Unfortunately, the Wilsons' serenity doesn't last. On the first night of their arrival, they see an uninvited family standing on their driveway who then break into their house. The Wilsons then discover that not only are the intruders doppelgÃ¤ngers of themselves, but both families share a deep connection and unfinished business, turning their peaceful vacation into a chaotic fight for survival.Previews: Trailer (preview), Super Bowl TV spot.

Us / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
Us / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology: The Tethered subsisted entirely on raw rabbits. It's not possible for humans to do so because rabbit meat is so exceptionally lean. Eating too much of it will lead to protein poisoning, which is also called "rabbit starvation" for good reason. This could be potentially handwaved for the Tethered, since they're artificial copies of humans who are shown to have greater resistance to injuries, though this still applies to Red, who is the original Adelaide with the same biology as other original humans. It would be physically impossible for Red and Abraham, despite being genetically identical to their counterparts, to naturally conceive a son and daughter who were also genetically identical to their counterparts. Although it is likely that the same ovum was involved each time (due to the psychic link compelling them to have sex at the same time as their counterparts), the chances of exactly the same sperm reaching the egg both times are so astronomically unlikely as to be impossible. As above, the only explanation for this is that the Tethered are something other than human.

Fortunately, Adelaide saves it a little when she's teaching the kids to keep rhythm. Adelaide's own parents. From what little we see of them, her father is implied to be emotionally distant and an alcoholic and her mother is implied to be self-centered and bossy. They also spend most of their time arguing with each other, and even while at the carnival, she is seen walking behind her parents instead of beside them. While later on in the film, Adelaide expresses admiration for her mother, because it was really the Tethered Adelaide, who was saved from nothingness due to swapping lives with the real Adelaide/Red, it's entirely possible that she still feels animosity towards them, particularly since it was their inattentiveness that caused her to be abducted.

The film makes allusions to Adelaide's PTSD after that incident, thus implying that the attack shown in the trailer was the cause of her disorder. It turns out that that scene wasn't just showing Adelaide getting attacked, but also replaced by her double. One shot in the trailer shows Pluto walking out of the fire of a burning car, as though to say he's immune to fire. That footage is actually being played in reverse; in the movie proper, he's walking backwards into the fire, copying Jason's movements. This is what ultimately kills him.

However, the audience knows that 'Adelaide' is actually the doppelganger of the original Adelaide, who we knew the entire movie as Red. Jason seems to know as well, judging by the glare he gives Adelaide as they drive off; in response, she just smiles and looks back to the long road ahead, leaving the audience to wonder what she might do next to keep her secret safe. The rest of the US also seems to be in shambles, as the final shot is of the countryside with a long line of doppelgangers holding hands, with smoke seen rising in the distance. Presumably the rest of the world outside the US is unaffected, but it isn't looking good for America...

The Tethered believe they're doing this by killing their originals, who have (up until this point) all had cozy, happy lives while the Tethered suffer for them. On the other hand, the originals didn't know they existed, but the plot is clearly much more allegorical about the parts of labor that aren't publicly seen. Adelaide is a much more literal example of this. She's the real Red, and she got away by violently kidnapping, and swapping places with, the real Adelaide. She lived a happy 20-30 years as Adelaide above ground before Red came back, leading a revolution that upended Adelaide's life. However, subverted in that Adelaide doesn't lose anybody personally — her husband and both her children survive, but everything she knows is gone.

Us / int_6bda9a30	comment	Meaningful Name: Zora's name means "dawn." Umbrae means "shadows". Jason is a character from Greek myth who starts out as heroic but does questionable stuff later on. Also, Jason is named after Jason Voorhees in Friday the 13th, who was also once upon a time a sweet, strange boy who turned out to be a psychopathic killer after his death during a summer camp vacation, and whose mom kills to avenge and protect him. Pluto is the Roman version of Hades, who has an unsavory reputation but is nicer than the rest of the pantheon. Pluto is also a dog from classic Disney cartoons, which is a fitting name for a boy who walks on all fours and growls like a dog. Gabe is short for "Gabriel." The archangel Gabriel was one of the three angels who informed Abraham of the birth of his son. Abraham was also the father of the chosen people in the Hebrew Bible, while Abraham is Gabe's Tethered double. Tex Watson was one of the members of the Manson Family, responsible for the Sharon Tate murders. The Family had wanted to use the murder to kickstart a war and take over America. Dahlia can possibly refer to Elizabeth Short, nicknamed the Black Dahlia, who was murdered and bisected at the waist (fitting for the movie's theme of duality/doubles). In turn Kitty's name might be a reference to Kitty Genovese, a famous stabbing victim (like many of the victims in the movie) who's tragic murder is often used as a textbook example of Bystander Effect. And Red is the color of blood. The fact that Adelaide has a less esoterically named Tethered than the rest of her family — or the rest of the Tethered altogether — may be a hint at The Reveal.

Us / int_853b7948	comment	Ambiguously Evil: With the reveal that Adelaide was actually the doppelganger all along, with Red being the original Adelaide who was forced by doppelganger Adelaide to live underground, we don't really know what is going on in Adelaide's mind at the end. As they drive away from Santa Cruz, Jason is seen glaring at Adelaide, implying that he learned the truth from Red after being taken underground. Adelaide just gives him a small smile, then returns to driving the car. One presumes that she genuinely does love her family, but the fact remains that as a child, she still replaced her "real" self, then later killed her "real" self. And the cackle she gives after doing it... While some of the Tethered, including Red and her family, intend to kill their counterparts and whoever gets in their way, it's debatable whether all or even most of them are particularly violent by nature; the majority of the Tethered we seen onscreen do nothing but stand around as part of the Hands Across America-inspired chain, which could be their equivalent of a peaceful demonstration against the government.

Equally, Red heavily implies that whoever created them did so with the purpose of controlling the entire world. It's just left ambiguous whether they succeeded. So the odds of that goal being noble seem extremely limited. At the climax, Red mentions an encounter she had with "God" that inspired her to begin her crusade against non-Tethered. Assuming she wasn't speaking metaphorically, who or what this being might have been is never explained.

Us / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: C.H.U.D. is one of the VHS tapes on the shelf in the prologue. It's pretty apt foreshadowing, with that movie dealing with underground entities rising up to attack people on the surface. Adelaide's dad wins her a Thriller shirt in the opening. It's implied that Michael Jackson's red jumpsuit and single glove helped inspire the Tethered's ubiquitous outfit, and the "Thriller" music video also ends with the reveal that Michael was a monster the whole time, much like how Us ends with the reveal that Adelaide was a Tethered the whole time. Jason also wears a Wolfman mask throughout the film. The Tethered's outfits also seem to take influence from slasher films of the '80s, with their solid jumpsuits evoking Michael Myers and their single brown leather gloves calling Freddy Krueger to mind. Young Adelaide may have known about these films and used them as inspiration for the costumes once she was switched with her Tethered and became Red, using imagery that scared her as a child in hopes of intimidating people once she returned to the surface. Gabe mentions Home Alone when suggesting that they set up traps in the home they're staying at to fend off the Tethered. Adelaide incredulously responds, "Tell me you did not just reference Home Alone." Something Wicked This Way Comes also has an important carnival that comes into town on important days, and takes place in a Magic Mirror Maze. There are multiple references to Funny Games (reportedly one of this film's biggest influences). The Wilsons, like the Farbers/Schobers, are a well-off family taking a vacation at their summer home. The home invasion of the Tethered family begins with the original family's patriarch getting his leg broken by weaponized sporting equipment (a baseball bat here, a golf club in Funny Games), and the original family getting held hostage in the living room. When Abraham plans to kill Gabe, he drives him out in his boat with a bag over his head; both elements happen to separate characters in Funny Games. Finally, Zora wields a golf club as a weapon for the latter portion of the film. After Red reveals the Tethereds' plan, she states, "Now it's our time, our time up there," referencing an iconic line from The Goonies. A copy of The Goonies can even be seen next to the VHS copy of C.H.U.D.. In the opening, mention is made in passing of a film being shot at the boardwalk. This would be The Lost Boys, which was filmed in Santa Cruz in 1986. Gabe's boat features heavily and Jason wears a Jaws T-shirt. The Tethered are forced to live their entire lives in terrible living conditions in overcrowded underground bunkers and ultimately start a revolution against those living above ground, much like the workers in Metropolis. According to the credits, the young couple playing rock-paper-scissor on the Boardwalk in 1986 are named Syd and Nancy. This is likely a reference to the movie Sid & Nancy (about Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen), which was released in 1986. During the climax, Red says of the Tethered: "We're all mad down here." Bonus points for being surrounded by white rabbits when she says it. It might be a coincidence, but during her therapy session, young Addy wears a sundress and hairstyle reminiscent of Rudy's in the "It Ain't Easy Being Green" episode of The Cosby Show.

Us / int_d29e9f65	comment	Nature Versus Nurture: A key theme. The Government Conspiracy believes that the Tethered cannot learn to be human and are doomed by nature to be only shadows of their original selves. However, the ending, which reveals the Adelaide we've spent the movie with was secretly her Tethered version and vice versa, leans heavily towards "nurture.â€� Despite being born underground, "Adelaide" was able to learn speech and attain her own agency when removed from those terrible conditions. Conversely, "Red" carries her childhood memories with her belowground and is able to both maintain the speech and self-awareness needed to inspire the revolution. This is also shown in the Wilson children and their doppelgangers. All four of them are half-Tethered, but Zora and Jason turned out alright. Jason is considered a bit "weird", but in ways that aren't too uncommon for a boy his age. By contrast, Umbrae and Pluto were raised among the Tethered by a bitter and vengeful mother who saw them as monsters, and they act accordingly.

Us / int_dc955e66	type	Inspired by…
Us / int_dc955e66	comment	Inspired byâ€¦: The central concept bears similarities to the popular works of Edgar Allan Poe, H G Wells, Bertolt Brecht, and Rod Serling: William Wilson, in which the titular character is haunted by a doppelganger of the same name who torments him for his sins and speaks only in a whisper. After defeating him in a duel, Wilson's double finally speaks aloud, telling him: "In me didst thou exist â€” and in my death, see ... how utterly thou hast murdered thyself." The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether - in which the inmates of an asylum subdue and replace the doctors, but are given away by their distracted and violent nature. The Casket of Amontillado — in which the narrator tricks an enemy into descending below ground and chains and imprisons him there, leaving him for dead. As in Wells' The Time Machine, there is a conflict between a pampered and aloof over-class (the Eloi/above-ground humans) and a subterranean under-class (the Morlocks/the Tethered) upon whose suffering the over-class society is built (a reflection of Wells' enthusiastic embrace of socialism). The key contrast is that the Tethered rise up to kill their counterparts as an act of revenge, while in the haunting potential future of The Time Machine it's a standard function of the Morlock-Eloi life cycle. While none of Brecht's work directly inspired the plot of Us, his work is well-known for focusing on the truth that the comforts and success of one person is all-too-often built on the suffering and disenfranchisement of another. His play The Threepenny Opera includes the song "What Keeps Mankind Alive?", which answers the question with bitter irony: In interviews, Peele has stated that Us is partly inspired by the Twilight Zone episode "Mirror Image", in which a young woman encounters her doppelganger at a bus station and becomes convinced that it is trying to replace her.

Thereâ€™s one on Zoraâ€™s shirt when Gabe is showing off his new boat, her green sweatshirt has the Vietnamese word for rabbit on it ("thá»�"), and they're a staple food of the Tethered. Honest Trailers suggests that it might be a reference to the African and African-American folktales of the trickster Br'er Rabbit, which originated among the Bantu-speaking peoples of south and central Africa. The lingering shot of the spider on the coffee table, along with the sculpture displayed on the coffee table that looks like a stylized Arachnid, could also qualify as an Animal Motif. Assuming the rabbit motif refers to Br'er Rabbit, the spider might refer to the Akan tales of the trickster Anansi, commonly depicted as a spider. The Akan were a West African society located in modern-day Ghana. There are strong parallels between the folklore of Br'er Rabbit and Anansi, chief among them themes of a smaller and more vulnerable animal outsmarting larger ones. It's highly likely these folktales intermingled among enslaved Africans brought to the Americas.

It's arguably even worse, since even though Red said they're soulless, they're shown to be capable of emotion — Adelaide's doppelganger was able to adapt to life as her and have meaningful relationships, and Tex and Dahlia show affection for each other. It turns out Red in particular was the original Adelaide, and the Adelaide we had been following the whole movie was the doppelganger. Red wants vengeance on Adelaide for taking everything from her.
