I remember talking to a lib coworker about that movie and I mentioned it was pretty awesome, and they said they didn’t like it. I figured it was one of the more usual critiques of it, but then they said they were offended by the evil racist villain being an Obama voter and turned it off.
I cannot imagine being this sensitive and protective of democrats where you can’t even parse an anti-racist message because it isn’t aimed at the GOP but instead aimed at people like them. The lib thought the movie was rightwing and pro-Trump lmao.
Liberals are used to didactic moral lessons in films agreeing with them and attacking their enemies. They didn’t know how to handle it when it criticizes them.
That movie was amazing. I wish Us wasn't so meh.
yeah Us had a very interesting premise and seemed like it was going somewhere, but it ultimately fell flat.
I liked Us more than Get Out. It was more of a horror movie, rather than a satire. Both are good, I was just wanting something that went more scary than comical.
There were so many good parts in Us, but the whole thing was oddly paced and the focus was also all over the place. Like, maybe the director needed a co-director or something like that. The movie even got creepy at scenes in broad daylight, which is honestly a testament to some of the stuff it did right.
Tone of Us was all over the place though, there was still a lot of comedy in it. Whereas Get Out started weird, got funny, then got horrific at the end Us just seemed to randomly jump between them. I do admit I wasn't a fan of the B-plot with the comical relief TSA buddy in Get Out though, it was tonally too far off of everything else. Paul Blart in a Black Mirror episode.
Wait til libs figure out all those movies about empires and rebellions.
