Make sure you subscribe to the channel for videos like this every day and if With that out the way, thank you for clicking this, now let's get into our breakdown of Us. US Plot Recap Ok so US Follows Adelaide Wilson a woman who goes on vacation with her family to their holiday home in Santa Cruz. Upon arriving there Adelaide becomes haunted by a memory in which a doppelganger attacked her in a fun house when she was a child. She initially just seems paranoid but her worst fears are realised when a duplicate of her family attacks them in the home at night. These are called the Tethered and slowly these copies of humanity have started an uprising. They are led by the copy of Adelaide known as Red and she becomes the main antagonist of the film. The family fight to survive and eventually the younger of the group Jason is kidnapped by Red. Adelaide descends into a secret door hidden in the funhouse and she finds the home of the tethered below it. Here she kills Red and rescues Jason but it's revealed in the end that Adelaide was actually the original Doppelganger and that she switched places with Red, taking her life in the process. That's a basic plot summary but there's a lot going on in the movie. 11:11 Before going through everything we need to discuss the significance of the number 11 which appears throughout the film at several points. This is actually a reference to Jeremiah chapter and verse 11:11 from the King James Bible and in that the following passage can be found. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them. This basically discusses Red's quest and how she wishes to bring doom to the surface dwellers. Now why the number itself is also important is because 11 is a palandrome, a number that is the same forward as it is back. It looks like a mirror and this reflective nature is given further weight by 11 11 once more reflecting the 11s and so on and so on and so on. The Wilsons themselves can be seen as somewhat of a reflection as there are two males in the family and two females, two adults, two children and generally there's this idea of mirroring that is seen within them and their tethered copies. Things above ground are mirrored by those below and throughout the piece things line up and are seen as almost complete reflections. As for the film itself, mirroring and this idea of 11 is seen throughout.

The daughter had a shirt with a rabbit on it, then had a shirt with the Vietnamese word for "rabbit" on it. She was a runner. This is a subtle nod to the song "Run Rabbit Run," which was featured in the beginning of Peele's first movie Get Out.
On the "3 fingers pointing back at you" part, i took it as saying one of the four was out of place
All of the family uses blunt weapons, where the tethered use their sharp scissors. Except Adelaide, who uses a firepoker, which is both blunt and sharp
Michael Jackson also wears an entirely red outfit, just like the tethered.
One Easter egg I caught that you didn’t mention was when the Tyler twins are killed, their dead bodies on the floor are positioned the exact same way the Grady twins dead bodies are positioned in the shining. I know Jordan Peele is a huge fan of the shining so I know that wasn’t a coincidence!
Anything: *exists* Heavy Spoilers: “This looks like 11”
One of the best horror/thriller films I've seen in a very long time. US, Get Out, A Quiet Place and Midsommar are some of my absolute favourites from the last few years. All completely brilliant. Hopefully Jordan Peele and Ari Aster will bring us into a new period of excellent horror cinema.
Adelaide may have been born underground, but Red's the villain. To call her bad for being born tethered, or even for pulling a switcheroo as a young child kinda misses the point of the movie. The kind, mild-mannered woman turns out to be one of the "evil" tethered, while the homicidal maniac plotting world domination was originally just a regular person from the surface. Who's to say the tethered would have ever killed anyone if someone from the surface didn't orchestrate such a violent uprising?
As soon as you pointed out "red over the top of blue" I began seeing it in the background of many shots throughout this video (lamp in the sons room). Now I have to rewatch this movie, again! The red and blue also remind me of 'Get Out', alluding to the United States thing again.
Whats even creepier is Michael Jackson's Thriller album was released on the 11th month of 1982.
My thought of why red had difficulty speaking was because she got strangled by the doppelgänger as a kid.
Itsy Bitsy Spider is also a reflection of the spider climbing up, washed out, and back up again
11/11 means "as above so below".
This movie still blows me away because of it's ending. It amazes me how he took a real & pretty much forgotten even from history & gave it this darkness. Awesome!!!!!!
I always thought that the white rabbit was a reference to the rabbit found in Alice In Wonderland, who emerged from beneath the ground, and a nod to the concept of falling down 'the rabbit hole', both literally (with the journey underground to the HQ) but also as a metaphor for being transported into a surreal or mirrored state. A further notion to support this could come from the scene where the rabbit's head is cut off - possibly referencing the Queen Of Heart's infamous demands to cut the white rabbit's head off, symbolising that Red is a more dominant figure, or a personification of the Queen Of Hearts. There are also links between Alice In Wonderland being used in mind-control programs specialising in fragmenting or 'honeycombing' the mind to create schizophrenia or alternate personas, detaching one's mindset from reality, similar to theories surrounding the link between the Wizard Of Oz and MKULTRA. Quite disappointed 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane wasn't used as part of the soundtrack on that note haha..
This could be a reach, but in the scene where the family are eating lunch upon arriving at the beach house, Adelaide is eating strawberries, whereas the others are eating some fast food. I associated this to the story Red told about the girl and her tethered shadow and how the tethered girl had to eat rabbit meat bloody and raw. This may have been a foreshadowing that Adelaide wasn't really who she appeared to be.
i also noticed how when the tethered children died, Adelaide “mommed” them. she wispered to Umbrae and shh-ed her and screamed NO when Pluto walked into the flames. maybe because they’re really her kids?
Holy cow, I must've been half awake when I watched Us because I barely noticed any of these. Well done.
Also the fact that “Red” wears one glove is a foreshadow for the eventual reveal of her as the real Adelaide. She won the MJ shirt at the beginning and pays homage to MJ in adulthood.
Get Out is stil my fav but this was great it makes you think peele just doesnt make films for entertainment alone you need to pay attention...
