'Us' Review: Intense Warning About the Horrors of Socialism | Breitbart

And this is a normal family. A loving family. This isn’t Hollywood’s perverted view of family. The kids listen to the parents. The parents have earned that moral authority. Mom and dad are in love. There’s no dysfunction, no hidden underbelly. Best of all, the fact that the Wilsons are black has nothing to do with anything. Us embraces the ideal of e pluribus unum, most especially through the Wilsons’ friendship with the Tylers, who just happen to be white.

Race is never an issue. Never brought up. You wouldn’t think a Hollywood Oscar-winner like Peele could even grasp the concept that this is how most Americans live. You see, unlike the media, hysterical left-wing politicians, and too much of Hollywood, out here in the real world we’re not obsessed with skin color. We hardly think about; and just like the Wilsons and the Tylers, we have achieved the color blindness our twisted elites have not. However…

This is a horror movie, which means something’s going to come along to destroy all this harmony, and wouldn’t you know, it’s… us.

But it’s really not us, it is the worst of us — the greedy, envious, grasping side of us, that part of us that wants something for nothing, that wants what everyone else worked for, that believes we are entitled to it. And we will take it through violence and murder, because that’s our idea of justice.

The Wilson’s are terrorized by their own doppelgangers: crude, malevolent, angry, bitter doubles who are, without question, Peele’s stand-ins for socialists. He’s even a bit on-the-nose by dressing them all in … red.

From out of nowhere they show up to organize, terrorize, menace, bully, and destroy what everyone else has, what everyone else worked for — and I’m talking about good and decent people who have done nothing to deserve this.

You see, the Wilsons are the movie’s real us — the most average of Americans, guilty of nothing more than live and let live.

Smaller themes abound. Let’s just say the gift of children and the instinct to protect them will help to keep you alive. And children must learn how to fight for themselves. The battle against the evils of socialism is not one they can shy away from.


This is also a cautionary tale about the importance of a owning a gun and learning how to use it. The Wilsons do not own one and you cannot help but think how much different things would have gone had they done the right thing.

The NRA should sponsor some screenings.

Jordan Peele is a helluva director. The staging, pacing, and editing of the middle forty minutes, which are about as perfect as a horror movie can get, are nothing short of brilliant. Us also has a terrific score and song selection.

What’s more, there are a ton of laughs that in no way feel out of place. The performances are top notch, most especially the gorgeous Lupita Nyong’o, who takes full advantage of a dual role any actor would kill for. As her son and daughter, Evan Alex and Shahadi Wright Joseph also stand out.


 
Imagine being such douche bag about politics that you have to look at everything with a retarded partisan bent. Sad and pitiful, but mostly funny.

If the left wing would stop pushing their left wing agenda in every single movie, t.v. show and kids cartoon, we wouldn't have to talk about this crap....but just about every t.v. show has a left wing message embedded in it and we have to put up with it.
 
I can not watch programming that is intentionally political. There is enough division in this country without it being injected into my entertainment.

I am also a "gamer" and the fucking PC/political bullshit has infested many of the gaming franchises that I used to enjoy.

It's so bad that many critics now judge tv/movies/games based on their political undertones.

ENOUGH!

You both have valid points. Our entertainment industry has crossed a line and that is sad. It's one thing to make a movie about a particular political figure or incident but when you feel the need to shoehorn social justice bullshit into everything you produce you've gone too far.

Which ones?
Battlefield V
Battlefield was my most enjoyed franchise. The dev's took the shit so far that sales tanked and the population is a mere shell of its former self. The series was always about the gritty front line experience of the average man but EA pushed DICE to infuse black men and females into the frontlines of WW1. Ok we can deal with that but then for V which is the WW2 sequel they took it to a whole new level of pandering and wrecked their dedicated fanbase in the process.

The Last of Us 2
A sequel to arguably the best video game EVER created that managed to infuse the cinema level story (I actually shed a tear after finishing the prologue) and plot into a video game. The original had gay relationships but they were done in good taste and were relevant to the story of the little girls experience in a post apocalyptic world.
Now in the sequel we are being told that women warriors rule this world and the gay shit is front and center. The original was never about womens empowerment or the LGBTQ movement.


The new Battle Royale game (1 vs 99) came out to thundering success and blew all kinds of records. Keep in mind this type of game HAS NO STORY/NO PLOT/JUST KILL OR BE KILLED/BE THE LAST ONE STANDING.
A couple weeks after release the developers released a statement saying that 3/4 of the avatars are gay...
Like really? Wtf is the point of that in a battle Royale?
Far Cry 5
A great game BUT the developers had all kinds of fun taking pot shots at American politics, the right and to a lesser extent the religious.


There are plenty more but my point is we dont need this pointless shit in games. The whole point is to escape reality for an hour or 2 every now and then not have everyday politics thrown in your face.

Andromeda is a fun game but you are correct. They took a STELLAR franchise and shit on it with their agenda.

Since MOST liberals do NOT want SOCIALISM the way it is portrayed by conservatives, and would MUCH RATHER have/become a SOCIAL CAPITALISTIC DEMOCRACY kinda like Norway and Finland, where there is LIMITED SOCIALISM coupled with the financial freedoms of capitalism, I think it is GREAT that we ONLY discuss that which MOST of us do NOT want and NEVER, fkn EVER discuss that which we do.....

not Venezuela
Norway
NOT Venezuela
Finland
NOT FKN VENEZUELA!

And NO, I do NOT want to MOVE there.....
I just would like to adjust our system a little, tweak it a bit, and make it better for everyone.

I really don't understand why conservatives hate the idea of AFFORDABLE education and health care. NOT FREE! Affordable.

I've played Battlefield 5 and Apex Legends. Never once cared even the slightest bit about any of that. I'll let you know how awesome Last of Us 2 is, since you can't play it now.

I dont play APEX but that wasn't my point. My point was the released a COMPLETELY POINTLESS public statement that was intended to get woke points but all it accomplishes is pissing off and dividing their fan base. Since APEX is free it likely had little impact but the sales numbers for BF5 speak for themselves.
As to last of us 2 I will play and judge for myself. If you're feeling froggy hit me up on ps4 for a multiplayer match on the first game and I will wreck your ass. I am a badass in that games online.

You keep missing my point. Should I be surprised?

I would bet there are more servers right now that are active on BF4 than in BF5. A game that is SIX YEARS OLDER.

But don't worry, EA doesn't get it either. And their stocks as well as the layoffs they have endured STILL haven't woken them from their WOKENESS.

Someday you fools may get it.

Isn't there time traveling and dimension hopping in the game? But what you're upset about is that they dared show a woman and a black man fighting? Come on, gramps. Don't be that guy.

People hated EA loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong before Battlefied 5, btw.

Sales trump online rhetoric and you know it.

You might not have a problem with blowing your money on a product that is already doa but I do.

I didn't sink hundreds of hours into Alien Isolation because they felt the need to fuck up the story with political pandering. I did it because they focused on what mattered

You should realize that you are angry because you're focusing on what doesn't matter. I doubt you were angry and screaming about SJW's and women back when the first Tomb Raider games were coming out. Don't let the Trump movement's hysteria ruin your fun.

You should realize you're an idiot that can't see the forest for the trees.

I played BFBC2 for over a decade. You know why? Because they didn't inject political bullshit into their games and their fanbase adored them. The game still gets lobbies today if you are patient.

They have tried so hard to prove that they are "woke" that the new game bombed. It has no chance of being around in 2 or 3 years much less a decade. And all because of what?

You can call me angry all you want but I'm not the stock holder who lost BILLIONS because of politics.

A once great franchise is a flaming bag of dogshit and my "feelings" had nothing to do with it
 
And by the way. Tomb Raider has never pandered to political whims. It was a female lead a decade ago just as it is today.

A fantasy game can not be compared to a game that prides itself on realism then shits all over that pride by putting women on the front line in ww1 with mechanical prosthetics.
