What are you trying to say? This went over people's heads?
No the truth is, the movie didn't execute its thoughts and story properly.
There are alot of plot holes and references not explained in the movie.
Sorry but good film making is told in a certain way and structure.
He tried hard but he didn't do the best job at it. Hence the confusion and criticism.
but what about the people that weren't confused by it? I only saw it once and think i have a pretty good idea of what's going on. I didn't need much explained to me and was able to draw my own conclusions. Yeah there were little points that were brought to my attention after, but this only made the movie better for me. The movie is not for everybody, but there are a lot of movies like that. I am seeing this again today (saw it alone the first time, seeing again with the family).

We just got back from the movie. We give that shit a 9.5 out of 10. We left the theater happy, pleased and satisfied. We loved this movie and can't wait to buy it in 4k HD when it comes out.

Good job Mr. Jordan Peele.

so upon a second viewing, there was some misinformation in here. There was never any mention of Jason setting the house on fire. Red says to Ade when she sends the boys off to play "don't set OUR house on fire". So the theory of jason being swapped based off that, is not possible. Second, Jason was not in the same room when Red was explaining the backstory to Ade. He was in a different room, not even close. The reason he looks at her like that at the end is not because he overheard, but because of what he saw. He saw Ade kill Red brutally and also display tethered tendencies (i.e. sounds). The movie is even better the second time around.

Niggas won't payin' that much attention. That Jason/Pluto theory although fascinating has never been plausible.

Don't see nobody mentioning those things as argument points as Jason being a tether... Jason would literally have to be a next level special needs kid to explain his whole actions throughout the movie... Being called weird isn't gonna cut it... Weird and special needs are two diff things and being that they not saying that kid is eligible for free disability checks for the rest of his life once he turn 18 that dude obviously ain't human... His sister was also a half breed to yet she acted no way like him why cause she been on the surface her whole life...that tether who couldn't use a lighter, that said random comments, who build sand "tunnels", who called red suits "us", who never seemed scared around killers for most of the movie, who left doorstoppers down cause he was scared of being locked in "darkness", who wore mask for no apparent reasons, who couldn't snap on beat to save his life, who disappeared for a while last yr, yeah that tether was obviously diff from his sis cause he juss reached the surface a yr ago... His actions are similar to his mom when she first reached the surface...Notice surface mom was genuinely afraid whenever he got lost notice she didn't want to go back to the beach either... She didn't want her or her son to go back below ground again

Great observations.
Why is a real human acting like a tether though?
Wouldn't they remember they are humans and know they were switched and wanna get back home?
First thing they would say when back with their original family is "I AM REAL".


Ya do know that Jason had the most unique tether "right"... He used fire, he set traps, he moved way diff than the others, he wore a mask, he didn't have scissors... You know why cause mask Jason was the real jason...none of his actions were the same of any other tether... Notice the mother and son were the most diff out of all tether... Cause they were pretty much the only two humans... The Jason from above was next level weird from his random comments, to his off beat, to him building sand "tunnels", to him not being able to use a fucking lighter, his sister mentioning him "disappearing", him putting doorstops down like he was afraid to get "lost", him not being scared around killers, to him saying it's "us", to his clothing arrangements, to him always rocking a mask.... So either ya saying peele made the most dumbest character ever or the kid was obviously a clone... Jason is the shittiest character ever made if he suppose to be human

someone mentioned Jason was swapped during a fire a year ago (Or it might have been in one of the videos someone posted). His sister did show some rage when she killed the twin. She went in on her, probably worse than anyone else. Ade killed the second twin just by stabbing her with the scissors. She killed red by stabbing her and then snapping her neck. The daughter gave the twin about 20 blows to the face relentlessly, and then just shook it off. I mean, that's the thing, anything is possible with this movie and we can all draw our own conclusions, because we can never prove who is right or wrong, unless Jordan confirms himself. I do agree Jason was a little off, but i think it was just due to being "mixed".

I don't think we was scared of being in darkness. At then end when he was in the locker, he hardly made a sound. and when he came out, he didn't seem startled, just surprised by what he saw.

the surface and underground obviously has an effect on your mental as well as physical abilities... Mom was originally from the surface and obviously you see she changed since she been underground all that time...mask Jason probably learned a set of skill set in his limited time down there to... Notice mom and son both kinda play with their counterparts meanwhile dad and daughter were literally juss trying to kill themselves... Everything about mom and son were diff from the others... Their interactions, their abilities, their connection to the other self...surface mom and son were both off, and underground mom and son were both diff with capabilities...everything points to the switch

the daughter killing people was juss natural human emotions in survival mode..Humans would react same way if adrenaline kicked in... She acted pretty normal throughout... The switched Jason was juss walking around like yeah more dead people excuse me can I get a cookie, hey guy with bloody hand on beach yeah let me tell nobody than draw pictures later... Which if you remember part of the training for underground lupa to become normal on the surface was to "draw"... Notice Jason has mad similarities to his mom when she first touch the surface...dude see red suits his first words it's "us" .... Not that they look like us, not why do they look like us, not are they our twins or replicas, but "it's us".... Us means his kind..us as his clone breed... Us as I'm not scared to be around them... That's why he can stare at a bloody hand red suited man on a beach and not be scared

actually, this was one of my gripes with the movie. Nobody asked that. Abe sees a guy that looks like him and offers him his boat and money. First thing out of anyones mouth would have been "wtf, why do you look like me?" The daughter didn't question it either. The movie is clearly not perfect (i.e. Abe just casually knocking on the white family's door after he killed his tether. How did he know his family survived. Last he saw, Ade was pulled inside and his kids ran off).

Yeah. I feel you bro. However, this is why the movie sucked for me. Just trying too hard and didn't make any real sense.

exactly it was a flawfull movie throughout that's why people are shi tting on it or aren't big fans of it... You can't be mad that they are not cause there's tons of flaws that are below amateurish...peele to smart to overlook those certain things... It's like he was banking on the plot twist and this deeper meaning thing more than executing a reg decent entertaining film... It was like he was like so what this writing is extra amateur and Jason seems like the weirdest dumbest kid in the world the last 15 mins will make everybody forget everything... Yeah and if I say this movie had a deeper meaning people will forget everything... No no my bro you don't get a pass for making 1 good movie and thinking you can sell a bag of s hit the next

Right. This is why the movie wasn't done well.

We are making up the "rules" without any real rules being drawn out and explained to us.

Where did they get their clothes and gloves and scissors? Why scissors?
Why did Lupita tell her husband "You don't make the decisions anymore"?
Why was Winston Duke so weak in the movie?
What happened to Lupita's father? I thought that was going to go somewhere.
Why did real Lupita forget how to talk?
Why was her voice like that?

the last two can be said her windpipe was crushed and never fully recovered... I can give him an easy pass with that

the gloves they wore and scissors suppose to be a nod to nightmare on elm street... Also scissors are two blades connected... Connected like the human and tether

how are you going to tell me i don't know nothing about movies and then ask some of these questions?

Where did they get their clothes and gloves and scissors? Why scissors?
who knows? same place they got chalk and desks from. scissors was a metaphor for separation.

Why did Lupita tell her husband "You don't make the decisions anymore"?
because it was his decision to go out there when they first arrived.
Why was Winston Duke so weak in the movie?
because he was a square.
What happened to Lupita's father? I thought that was going to go somewhere.
good question.
Why did real Lupita forget how to talk?
she didn't forget. She was choked and knocked unconscious.
Why was her voice like that?
see above, probably crushed her cords when she was choked. The tethered were pretty strong.

Umbrae had scissors but at no point did she try to kill Zora. She chased her down, yeah. She only killed a random white man. Abe ain't really try to kill Gabe either. He socked him out, yeah, but that's about it. :dunno:

That can be argued about her voice and it's a sound conclusion but she sounded da way she did due to years of not having talked.

nah both were trying to kill their doubles... Hollywood juss did the slow boring shit... The daughter double was bout to jump off car to kill her but than got interrupted by the cac... The father double was gonna stab him than dump his body... But Hollywood did the boring long drawn out deaths s hit so they took forever on attempting to go through the process... Juss like the female cac double didn't kill the moms..they juss held her captive for no apparent reason... Even more reasons of bad flaws of this movie

He was incredibly bitch made. You have to suspend disbelief in horror movies because without cowards, incompetence, or terrible equilibrium...horror movies wouldn't exist.
Hey the father was more believable than that kid jason... Kid walking around like it's Halloween all year round and can't use a fucking lighter... Magic trick Nig it's a fucking lighter..Nig used a lighter once in his life what kind of tard kid is this...why you so off beat tard... The wrong Jason died... I was rooting for white mask throughout the movie..than they killed him off the most gayest way.... Fuck this movie for that shitty death scene... Look let's play copycat and mask Jason walks in fire.... Boooooo that man for that scene
