About Us (2019 film) in brief
Us is a 2019 American supernatural horror film written and directed by Jordan Peele, starring Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Elisabeth Moss, and Tim Heidecker. The film follows Adelaide Wilson and her family, who are attacked by a group of menacing doppelgängers. Us had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 8, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on March 22, 2019. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing USD 255 million worldwide against a budget of USD 20 million, and received praise for Peele’s screenplay and direction, as well as the musical score and Nyong’o’s performance. The movie is based on a true story about Adelaide Thomas, a young girl who went on vacation with her parents to Santa Cruz, California, in 1986. In the present day, the now-adult Adelaide is haunted by memories of the encounter, and recalls the night she first met Red in the hall of mirrors in a funhouse named \”Find Yourself\”, where she encounters a doppelGänger of herself in the house of mirrors. The Wilsons find the road blocked by their own car, which has been set on fire. The family regroups and escapes on their boat. Meanwhile, the Tyler family is murdered by their Tethered. They turn on the news to see that the Tethered have been murdering their equivalents across the U.S., and are led by Red, the only one who can speak, albeit in a guttural raspy voice.
Red tells them the story of a girl who is loved and happy, while her \”shadow\” remains in the dark, suffering. The Tethered are clones, created by the government to control their counterparts on the surface, until Red escapes and takes revenge on all of them. The story ends with Adelaide’s mother, Adelaide, chained in the underground facility, and secretly taking Adelaide’s place in the world above the world – thus becoming a young woman of the same name, Adelaide Thomas.
