1. How did you interpret the ending of Us?

2. Most boring movie ever dont watch

3. Roman numeral 2

4. How does the EU ending end?

5. Damn I want to see this movie.

6. While watching the movie I thought the tethers are the "real" Americans and them killing the originals is like a twisted take on the make America Great Again movement happening now

7. I love how there is endless secret messages hidden.

8. The Tethered consider themselves as shadows… Dark images left behind from those of whom are graced by the light of the world. Struggling to find their own identity, to become untethered from their counterparts. That's why the Scissors were their weapon of choice.

9. I think the whole 11:11 thing showing up everywhere is a bit of a reach.

10. That has nothing to do with the theme. This is a takedown of socialism. Not underrepresented groups. Sigh.

11. This movie ?

12. I get that the movie is deep however the characters are way too dumb — I ended up hating it! ?

13. IGN's a movie theorist site now too? Seems like desperation to me >_>

14. Hey how about you title your video Us: ending explained(SPOILERS) instead of straight up talking about the twists lol.

    I'd be pissed if I hadn't seen the movie yet and y'all are putting this in your title. Come on guys.

15. Whatever. Get off.

16. I was wearing my Fallout vault dweller “111” hoodie when watching this film. Pretty scary coincidence, I’m sure I psyched at least a couple of people when stepping out of the theater.

17. US = UNITED STATES ???✂

18. Get Out >>>>> Us. The plot was made first by The Simpsons (with the twist and all).

19. The film was pure garbage.

20. Such a puzzle??
    It's a horror movie.
    People die & there's Lot's of blood. The end!?

21. How about no

22. A video i seen said it best, this movie should have ended 30mins earlier. The movie should have let the audience figure everything out about the switch and subtlety hint about it. Fan theories would went crazy if peele had left out that flashback.

23. Horrible movie 1 of 10.

24. Why the bunnies tho?

25. I liked the first half of the film
    I was mostly bored by the end

26. this was the dumbest movie i seen this year so far all the hype was because of (Jordan peel). in my book a step down from get out.

27. Thanos would have solved the problem

28. 11 turned sideways is an equal sign. = . Equality. Those given an opportunity can and most times do flourish. Those who don’t are often forgotten and damned. The forgotten sometimes do not forget about their pain and sometimes seek to harm fortunate others. A battle of self. In this movie we see a flourishing main character and a forgotten main character. My interpretation of the film

29. I was confused a bit but I think I understand it

30. Did Jordan tell you this himself?

31. What an elaborate way to over analyze a terrible movie

32. Another oscar award.

33. Poor Keegan

34. This movie is overrated af. Given it’s “deeper meaning” it doesn’t deserve the hype.

35. You just made sense to this movie i did not get the first time. This flick is sooo deep

36. I was tripping I thought they're were more like zombie doppelgangers or shadows like adeline said.

37. The family standing on the driveway is -1-1-1-1-

38. Also the son couldn't snap his fingers in rhythm.. when the doppelganger dies in the fire he starts to snap his fingers in rhythm, when Red says "we're Americans" you realize Us has a double meaning US- United States.

39. Was it not realized that the son was actually a tether also who switched the summer before after he almost burned the house down? The entire movie they kept giving the clues. They said it seemed like he's learning new words every day, he cant remember the trick he could easily do the year before, he would rather build tunnels on the beach instead of castles, his doppelganger face was burned, he was the only one Red did not try to have killed, the way he lowered his mask at the end looking at Adelaide. I think he was supposed to get the family back to the beach for Red and that plan failed and he also learns that Adelaide is actually like him.. originally a tether.

40. I went and watched it…..never again

41. Us seem garbage to me

42. What I find interesting about this movie, is that even though it's revealed that Adelaide is actually Red and Red is actually Adelaide, can it really be said that Red is still technically a villain? I mean the incident with her attacking Adelaide, happened when she was a child, and Adelaide as shown throughout the movie was clearly not herself anymore and probably had no chance of redeeming herself. I'm not trying to defend Red, but still, given everything that happened, I just don't think the current situation can be helped. I mean, as long as she maintains her goal of protecting her family, everything should be fine right?………..

43. I get the switch in the beginning, but doesn't that mean that she would still be doing what the real person was doing since she is a tether? Or is the relationship between the tethers mirroring their real counterparts solely based on them being underground?
