I finally saw this movie. I love the director but there is alot unexplained. Tim Heidecker was great in it and I really liked how all the tethered couldn't speak.

Does this need to be spoilered? well tethered were a failed experiment that might have made more sense if it was more localized. The movie did show they were copying them almost perfectly. They show it at the end cut between the real people on the surface and it cuts back to the tethered copied of the father and his facial expressions isn't just right with the actions of above.

I don't really see how the tethered are the underclass or even how the surface people are the upper class.

this is like saying i don't see how get out is about race.

Is it really about race? The do have the scene where they explain that its not racism in how/why they are targeting black people.

Us feels like a movie that has very little faith in the audience’s ability to get the point

Pretty logical step from the last movie. Over correcting seems to be the main movie problem in the last decade.

Right - the ending is absolutely meant to imply, even if you disagree with my reading, that the reason the Tethered all only communicate in screams and grunts is because they’ve just never been taught language, amongst their other odd behaviors. It’s pretty clearly demonstrated that the Tethered would be exactly like those above ground if raised in similar circumstances, they’re not subhuman killing machines.

I'm guessing this is why they changed red voice from the trailer also? I greatly preferred red's voice in the trailer.

I was really only talking about that one scene with the tv when he was strapped in the chair. I went back and watched that scene again and only the guy getting his brain transplanted might not have been racist. The son was most likely super racist. Sorry my bad!
