Us (we) tells a story about the US (United States). The red Adelaide said "we are Americans" in its hoarse voice, like a dose of mockery for Trump's policies. The director reminds us that those who seem to be on the fringes of society are also American citizens who should enjoy human rights and welfare. If given the same conditions and living environment, they can become any one of us, just like the heroine in the story. The so-called shadows are those who can be us, but because of the embarrassing growth environment, they can only survive at the bottom of life. We're nothing special, but we're what we are today because of what we've had since childhood.
In fact, everyone knows this truth, but the director gave up the simple and easy-to-understand sensational plot and instead used the form of horror films to pave the way for the story. This is also Jordan Peele's consistent style. Starting from the short comedy of Key and Peele, he is good at satirizing the clan, living habits and various prejudices of today's society in comedy. Maybe this way is more acceptable to the audience, and while entertaining, it may allow us to pay attention to some things that we usually ignore.
