As someone who is very new to the horror movie genre, I was hesitant to go see the new film “Us” in theaters. But I knew I would enjoy Jordan Peele’s work, so I gave it a shot. And I can’t stop thinking about it. Particularly the stunning social commentary that made Peele’s “Get Out” so popular when it came out in 2017.
To set the stage for analysis, the film’s title “Us” can be read in one of two ways. The first, as is intended, highlights the fact that the main family in the film, the Wilsons, will be hunted by their doppelgängers.
