Us is a psychological thriller directed by Jordan Peele, which follows a suburban family who goes on vacation only to discover a group of doppelgangers are out to get them. The film stars Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, and Elisabeth Moss. The movies central metaphor of meeting a literal evil twin of yourself can be read as a commentary on race, but its also a pretty brilliant. The film sets up a society of haves and have-nots. You have two groups of people who are identical in every way, but while one caste gets to enjoy their lives and have agency, the other caste is doomed to wander in tunnels. The film left a lot of open questions in viewers’ minds, such as who are the Tethered (Shadows), and where do they come from? What’s with the Scissors that the Tethered are carrying? What’s with all the Rabbits in Us, the opening sequence? At the end of Us, is Jason real, or is he a Tether too? Why do the Shadows form a Human Chain? .
