    The reason Pluto’s face is burned is because he matches Jason’s every move. So when ever Jason was practicing his magic trick with the fake lighter Pluto was in the underground with a real lighter and every time Jason tried his trick and failed so he inspected the lighter. Pluto was burning his face with the real lighter.

      That’s probably exactly what it is but still To me it sounds silly how there gonna be able to re do everything they do on the surface. Like so what they just have unlimited lighter fluid or a box full of 100s of lighters. They said somewhere in there they abandoned it in like the 80s so I don’t get how they get all the materials for copying stuff other then surviving by breeding and eating the rabbits.

    I can definitely see a domestic terrorism angle in the film. Instead of an 'other' that's seen as the villain, as is the case with what we're led to believe with terrorism, it's us. It's the homegrown violence that we're usually not giving attention to, despite being the pressing form of it. It wasn't an 'other', it was, as she states, fellow Americans, and that's especially true today. Don't know if I'm reaching but I thought that was interesting.

      @cabbage8189 5 років тому +35

      It could be a hint to the Tethered part of her because she’s snapping on the upbeat, not the downbeat where someone would normally keep a beat when they listen to that song. My sister pointed out when the trailer was released that she wasn’t really snapping on the beat and thought it was a clue that Adelaide might not be 100% “there.”

    • @caliBornbEauty
      @caliBornbEauty 4 роки тому +20

      She was on beat but just not the typical beat. She snapped on every beat of the 8 count instead of the 2's and 4's if that makes sense. Still, it was awkward because who snaps on all the beats?

    @saintazepam 5 років тому +78

    I have a theory about Addy and Gabe's relationship: they lack in chemistry from the start and the scene where she reveals to him about the little girl she saw was super weird and his reaction was not in sync at all with her emotional state. Also whenever there's danger Addy grabs her children, multiple times throughout the movie she's trying to save them and putting them before her, which is normal for a mother but she never shows that kind of love towards Gabe. So my theory is that since Addy is originally one of the mole people she's not fully capable of experiencing romantic love or even most social relations in general (that scene at the beach with Kitty where their conversation is super awkward and she even admits she's not good at talking), but she really does love her children to death. This is because having lived her childhood underground she is emotionally stunted and while she feels the primal form of love that is between mother and children, other types of affection are more difficult to grasp for her.

    Jason’s tethered version is named Pluto God of the underworld in Greek Mythology. Pluto is also the God of death. Pluto is the furthest planet from the sun and receives no light from the sun explaining why he was so interested in fire in the movie. He was a pyromaniac and ended up burning his face playing with fire. Later in the movie when Pluto dies, he is engulfed by flames making me think about the god of death and the god of fire. @DeadMeat

Then after Rose had been dead for a while, Snow began to realize how lonely she was without her twin so she killed herself with the same pair of scissors.
    Edit: Forgot, after Snow dies she and Rose both become birds, Snow a Bluejay and Rose a Redbird, and they are always seen on the same branch of the same tree singing the same song.

    Something I noticed, Elisabeth Moss' tethered silently screaming when she sees Tim's tethered getting killed, and then laughing about it 5 seconds after.
    Did anyone think up that when one of the parties (either the tethered or the original people) gets killed, that part of the soul gets full autonomy in the remaining person? Regaining that part of yourself (memories, feelings maybe).
    So when the tethered Elisabeth Moss seemingly has a mood swing, it's because that part of her sees her husband getting killed meanwhile the other half takes over?
    I can also see it when Red gets killed at the end, and Adelaide screams out but then laughs just like Red in this really weird way.

      oo my theory was that the real elizabeth said that she dreamed of killin her husband but wud never actually do it so the shadow elizabeth is explicitly happy to see her husband die

      I thought they have the reversed emotions. That couple hated each other, but when they are tethereds, they like each other. After killing their real selves, They look and smile to each other. And when the husband dies, she cries and screams about it.

    Anyone else notice that Lupita’s character in the movie wouldn’t eat anything processed? Like there’s a scene where the family is sitting around eating fried chicken and she’s eating strawberries with water and later on, on the beach, her friend offered her alcohol but she didn’t want any. I thought that was one of the giveaways to her being a tether since they had no way of making processed or prepared foods so they ate everything naturally like the raw rabbits.

    When he hit his own head on the boat, it wasn’t to get the tethered to copy him. It was to get the engine running again so the tethered would get crushed with the propeller. As for Jason. I don’t know if he was controlling Pluto. I think Pluto was playing a game and didn’t realise he was walking into flames. But that’s all open to interpretation.

    • @saintazepam

    I didn’t watch the entire thing but i did what a fair amount, so i dont know if you covered this but... i loved the idea of the tethered using scissors. Reason being is how 2 pieces make it up, yet its purpose is to divide things into 2. They used the scissors to kill off their double, and when Lupita is at their friends house she kills one of the tethered with the scissors like the tethered which jason sees, foreshadowing the reveal at the end. Loved this movie! Also love your vids!

    I think Pluto's face is burnt because while Jason's lighter didn't work, Pluto had matches that did light up.

    The song good vibrations has a lot of meaning to it apparently the writer of the song wrote about it cause his mother would often refer to dogs barking at certain people as bad vibrations so and not barking as good vibrations so it was something that we couldn’t see but feel, a sense of unease. ( I think I remember dogs barking in the movie around the time of the attack) the song was also written with ideas of fragments of other songs and it came together through all these unfinished ideas.( I guess it kind of represents the fragments of the tethers and how they are unfinished projects by the government, as well as the tunnels unused because they became unfinished.)

May be a bit obvious, but is cool to look back on, and super easy to miss. Also great job with the analysis!! Always enjoyable, keep it up

    Ugh I loved this episode! So first off, I love you're work, and I'm a huge fan. But I have a note on the Good Vibrations scene from Us. First of all, I don't believe there was any meaning for choosing this song other than the fact that it's a fun song and he's rich white guy with a beach house. Furthermore, The Beach Boys themselves consisted of 5 members, brothers Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson (none were twins), their cousin Mike Love, and a neighbourhood friend, Al Jardine. Dennis Wilson died in '83, 3 years before Hands Across America and Carl died in '98. Ao of course, with my vast Beach Boys knowledge and deep love for Brian Wilson, I was on the floor laughing, when the scene unfolded. I just thought it was so funny. Anyway, that's all I have. Thank you for the amazing work you guys put out!
