have fallen into a dilemma.
is either an old-fashioned storyline or dazzling special effects. Over time,
directly caused aesthetic fatigue to the audience.
is the only horror film that has always carried the banner of innovation!
creates unlimited imagination and breakthroughs in limited resources and space. This may be the charm of horror films.
"Night gives us a pair of black eyes, but I use it to watch horror films!" Since the birth of horror films,
has easily reached the top of the movie box office with some specific existence.
In 2018, three horror films with different styles, without exception, became popular.
"Genetic Doom" pays attention to the layout of the horror atmosphere;
"Kunchi Rock" pays attention to stimulating the audience in the senses;
"Quiet Place" creates a brand new concept.
There are various signs that the 2019 horror film may have a stronger momentum.
I don’t know if you still remember, "Escape from Deadly Town", which won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay.
It is definitely a "black horror film" in the true sense!
externally, from the perspective of many blacks, internally, highlighting the plight of blacks.
Two years later, Jordan Peel, the director of "Escape from Deadly Town", made a comeback. I didn't expect the black to be more thorough this time:
we
Us
When the poster and trailer for "We" were released, it attracted exclaims.
ghosts, sharp blades, frightened expressions...
even if you don’t know anything about the plot, you can be shocked by the atmosphere! The main role of the
film continues with the black team, the horror under the mask in the poster is also imaginative, and the moment when people and ghosts look at each other in the trailer is even more creepy.
From role to concept, from concept to story, there is no doubt...
Jordan Peel’s style remains the same!
His style is not Wen Ziren’s horrible presence...
Jordan Peel is not in a hurry to be scary.
He piles up terrifying brain holes with details, and then jumps in with you!
For example, the change of life in "Escape from Deadly Town"...
And what new tricks can this "We" play? The story of
starts when the heroine Adelaide was a child.
In 1986, Adelaide, who was still a little girl, went to the amusement park on the beach with his parents, but accidentally lost her. Halfway through
, I saw the neurosis holding the doomsday sign.
curiosity led her to one of the halls of mirrors with a strange atmosphere.
And when she turned her head in a "mirror" , she saw the back of her head.
stood there with exactly the same little girl.
She has forgotten how she left.
But for a long time after that, she could not speak. Dr.
said that she was suffering from stress trauma.
spends more time with company, dancing, painting, etc., slowly she will recover and speak again.
The lens is turned, time is back to now.
Adelaide has grown up, married and had children.
has children and daughters, a typical American middle class.
It’s the weekend, and my husband Gable wants to take the whole family to the old place again.
But even now, she still resists.
but I went there anyway, and saw the neuropathy holding the placard halfway through.
But this time, he was stabbed to death.
So Adelaide is quite disturbed on the beach.
, her youngest son, also lost.
also encountered a scarecrow dripping blood.
so many coincidences, made her realize that she has been shadowed for many years, and I am afraid that a sequel will be released.
alsoDid not wait for Adelaide to convince her husband to believe her. In front of
's house, there were four people standing staggeredly. The four people of
are too similar to the Gables.
have all found their doorstep, and they have no reason not to break through.
The big man took the scissors and stabbed Gable at the door.
The little boy climbed to the roof quickly, and the little girl was busy knocking on the glass.
and others entered the door to take a look, as expected.
is really a copy of the Gables, and looks exactly the same.
However, it is a bit different:
is a big black man who can't speak, he will shout. The youngest son of
, wearing a thick headgear, also likes to play with fire. For daughter
, an expression:
makes people smile. Red, led by
, sat down and opened his mouth, making it even more scary.
bounced out word by word, his voice still resembling an old man. The content of
looks like Mrs. Xianglin is complaining.
said that he didn't eat anything when he was a kid, so he could only eat raw rabbits!
later said that his love was not going well, and several children were deformed.
Therefore, it is full of resentment. After
complained, Red began to play the game.
let the family imitate the most accustomed actions of the four Gables to fight the battle.
Big Fat to Gabe: Brute force.
Girlfriend vs. Girlfriend: Race.
son to son: playing with fire.
Whoever dies will win the game.

family managed to escape from death to death.
is even more terrifying, but it is waiting for them in the back:
neighbors and a family of four, all of them were wiped their necks by the red "clone" with scissors.
turned on the TV, and the entire United States was killed by the Red Party!
There is no way, the scarred Gables, continue to die with the red ghosts. By luck,
got his life back again.
However, the issue that everyone is most concerned about is that:
, who is this group of red "clone" ?
until the end of the film, the answer was revealed.
The following will involve key plot spoilers, please leave it quickly!
Adelaide returned to the haunted hut of the year, and then through the secret tunnel, he found the base camp of the evil organization.
This underground building complex is like a labyrinth.
The rabbits running all over the floor also sat up to Red's complaints about diet.
Red also told Adelaide the reason before killing her.
It turns out that all of this originated from a dark plan of the US government.
They copied the citizens and established the "fetters" system.
in order to achieve the purpose of synchronization of the movements of the two people on the ground.
Therefore, the underground copy is like imitating the "self" on the ground.
The people on the ground play the merry-go-round, and the copy people are spinning around.
People on the ground play a roller coaster, and the replicator trembles in place.
From a certain level, this is a disguised monitoring and control , you are in control of every word and deed.
However, the life of the cloner in the underground is very unpleasant...
When this system goes wrong, the cloner has self-awareness.
In the long-term abuse, the endurance reached the limit, it will trigger this riot.
Obviously, such a long foreshadowing is an insinuation! The director of
Jordan Peel still wants to explain one reality after another: equality, power, politics, and class.
At the beginning, this group of rabbits in a cage symbolizes weak and ignorant clones.
They are flesh and blood, but they are forced to be locked in cages and become subjects of experiments. Once
escapes, the copy people will not hesitate to take up the weapons in their hands and fight back. This weapon
is in the poster-scissors! The metaphor of
is very clever. The role of scissors is not to kill, but to cut out another "self".
Cut off the fetters and declare sovereignty! What's interesting about
is that the scenes that appeared on the TV echoed the scenes where the copyists formed a queue later.
In fact, this is a fundraising advertisement that took place in 1986, and launched a charity event to solve the hunger problem.
In fact, the people who participated in this event were not interested in really caring about "hunger".
instead regarded this event as a grand social carnival party.
replicates people's behavior, symbolizing that they are working hard to tear away the disguise of reality!
There are always people who like to tout that everyone is equal, but in fact, people with privileges are trying to maintain their privileges.
Before this disaster, the number "11.11" appeared frequently in the movie.
It is an excerpt from Chapter 11 of the Old Testament-Jeremiah:
"I will bring them a disaster they cannot escape. Although they yell at me, I will not listen to them." "
predicts that all people on the ground will be punished...
In fact, there are many places in the movie that are worth exploring. I'll stop here, and the others are waiting for you to watch.
director Jordan Peel's films are always ridiculed in black and white.
"Escape from Desperate Town" is exactly the same as "We", and both talk about "black politics". The difference between
is that the former talks about between people.
and the latter, directly rise to the level of the country.
The title "Us" is a pun!
You can translate it into "us" or you can translate it into "U.S".
