'While our fractured America remains under the metaphorical microscope of the Oscar-winning “Get Out” auteur, his aim has only grown more complex and ambitious in his second directorial effort.' jenyamato writes:
), teenage daughter Zora and young son Jason is interrupted when a quartet of deranged doppelgängers appear one night in their driveway. The shadow family is led by Adelaide’s twisted double — a woman known as “Red” — and she has a plan.
Where “Get Out” interrogated a kind of racism that hides in plain sight within liberal America, “Us” “is not a movie about race — but it is, to me, about filling in another gap in representation,” says Peele, “and that is this idea that I haven’t seen a horror movie about a black family.
“I think [‘Us’] is more than a political movie,” said Peele, “but in the post-Trump era, the finger-pointing in this country was turned up to a whole different notch — whether it’s the finger-pointing at the outsider, the mysterious invader, or the finger-pointing at other Americans who voted a different way.”
“[It’s] a time that held a great duality for me,” said Peele, who makes references early on in his film to “Thriller” and Michael Jackson — “a person with a great duality attached as well.” “And there’s a very dark side of that which I still feel. All of that imagery, Michael Jackson included, is about the duality of that time.”While working on the screenplay for “Us” he ran into Nyong’o, who won her Oscar for “12 Years a Slave” and starred in last year’s blockbuster “Black Panther,” at an event and told her he was writing something with her in mind. Later, they dove deep into the script during a long phone conversation.
