i was hoping that’d be the twist. it is a bummer you can figure it out if you remember a scene from the trailer though. Groovelord Neato fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Mar 22, 2019 |

it has one of the best trailers of all time. there is a part of me that wishes i hadn't seen it since it gives away (once you're watching the movie anyway) that they swapped - the scene where she reaches out and strangles is in the trailer and since it hadn't shown up in the movie and she spoke so weird i'm going i bet they got switched.

Pascallion posted:Enjoyed it well enough, but both this and Get Out have a similar problem for me: Jordan Peele comes up with some completely out there, overly elaborate backstory and then unnecessarily explains it. you kinda needed the explanation in get out or it just looks like they're brainwashing black people. LesterGroans posted:I feel like it's pretty safe to assume that the Adelaide who's above ground has basically suppressed her memories of being a clone. yeah i'm not sure why this is a stumbling block for people. folks lie about themselves all the time and believe things in their past that didn't happen.

i just watched a video about this movie with ~400k views (was on t he front page cuz i listened to the remix) and it's hilarious how people can make a career making poo poo up or missing stuff in a movie to make an ENDING EXPLAINED video. one example: the guy thinks that adelaide knows she was switched from the beginning. he also has a theory jason was switched out because he swears and his parents don't know where he picked it up and couldn't remember how to get his spark trick to work and builds a tunnel instead of a sand castle...kids build pits/tunnels all the time at the beach. not sure how he explains away pluto sounding and moving around like an animal. he even gets the fluoridation conspiracy theory wrong.

Whalley posted:e: I mean, I'm kinda reaching with the rabbits thing too - it's pretty clearly on a more blunt level, a reference to Alice in Wonderland it's funny in that same bad video i mentioned earlier he said the rabbits were the first clones (they weren't) and that's why they were included. it was pretty obviously what you said and rabbits are often used in experiments, set up in caged walls like in the movie. from the opening scene it put in your head that the copies must be some kind of government experiment.

Z. Autobahn posted:Except the movie doesn’t present it as a dimly lit maze. It’s shown to be a single long hallway with a bunch of single rooms branching off and an exit escalator at the end. It’s a deliberately simple structure. considering it would've had to hold millions of people i'm guessing we only saw a small part of it.

a new study bible! posted:I don't know if any of the POVs in this film are reliable. Nothing that Red says seems particularly concrete. I don't know that there's a solid reason to believe that the facility is a secret government thing. The facility could literally be hell for all we know, and Red just interprets it as a government thing because that's an easier explanation than a literal underworld. IDK why anything that she does in the film would lead us to trust her authority in an exposition dump. she says that they were abandoned at some point so i'm guessing there were government employees down there doing poo poo in the past.

Space Cadet Omoly posted:In fact, her knowing exactly where the secret entrance in the fun-house is when Jason gets taken and a lot of her other behavior was seems to directly imply she never repressed her memories at all. Her having known the whole time that she was one of the tethered seems like the interpretation most directly supported by the film. it's a perfectly valid reading but her not knowing seems to be what the film is going for.

Whalley posted:Of course you don't, it's a stupid dumb idiot theory that ruins the movie yup! slate's opening to their explainer is funny: "For the sake of (relative) simplicity, we’ll refer to the original Adelaide, the one who spends most of the movie in a red jumpsuit, as Adelaide, and the doppelgänger, who spends most of the movie in regular clothing, as Red. It was Adelaide, who was forced to trade places with Red when the two were children, who was the mastermind behind the Untethering." this is the opposite of simplicity. it's incredibly confusing.

Baxate posted:I don’t buy that either because they all joke about their kill count and Zora seems to have no issue bludgeoning a girl to death with a golf club, and Jason too with Kitty’s doppelgänger. There’s really not even a difference in how Adelaide did her murders that I saw she laughs when she kills red.

Billy Pilgrim posted:About Red's voice, I took it as her throat being damaged when she was choked by Adelaide before the switch, maybe coupled with her not actually speaking much for 33 years. that in conjunction with remembering the scene from the trailer where the clone strangles the original girl in the hall of mirrors allowed me figure out the twist early on. Maxwell Lord posted:This just guts the entire thing though, because the idea is, this is something that society made. This is a thing that we, as a country, did that we're getting punished for. We created an underclass, imprisoned and abandoned them, and now they're getting back at us. yeah it's pretty important. the rabbits are also a reference to it being an experiment.

Typical Pubbie posted:It's a terrible metaphor. Poor people aren't cultureless psychopaths, they aren't kept secret from the rest of society, and they weren't created by a government black op. I liked the movie but that poo poo was bad and dumb. poor people do score lower on tests and for a variety of reasons - shittier schools due to school funding being tied to tax base, worse nutrition, and increased chance of lead. and yeah it was pretty much created either from the top down via things like redlining or the people it wasn't affecting ignoring it or not caring (white flight) and voting for the people that exacerbate the problem. america also has the lowest social mobility in the developed world so it's nearly impossible to "escape" the situation for those trapped in it.

your last part doesn't make much sense. she was able to get them to come together and break out because she had come from above and wasn't one of them. there was nothing magical about it.

How Darwinian posted:Honestly, I think it's a bad movie, and I think a lot of people are thinking themselves in circles to maintain their initial hope that it would be good. lol especially with your follow up she was a child not a grown up savior that immediately said remove your chains and doesn't even act for altruistic reasons - she's pretty obsessed with revenge. it's fine not to like the movie but nobody's talking themselves into liking it.

i wouldn't be surprised if the reveal was originally just the first bit of flashback (since you get it with that) and it was expanded because peele - probably rightly - feared that a lot of audiences wouldn't get it without it fully laid out.
