Jordan Peele talked about his inspiration for Us in his 2019 Rolling Stone cover story. ![]() It also says something profound about how people often think that they know what's best for others when they don't really understand what's going on at all. Us has a satisfying horror movie ending and it was smart to include imagery based on Hands Across America since this speaks to the message of the movie: that people often think that there is a simple solution to a complex problem, but that isn't true at all. However, according to Buzzfeed, there were parts of Arizona and Arkansas that had holes in the chain, and people used livestock, ribbons, and buses to try to fill those in. 400 people were involved in the organization of the event, which took nine months to figure out.

You can see these moments where he’s observing his mother and he’s meant to be a little step ahead of us, the most clever of us that’s sorta figuring out there’s something more to Adelaide’s story than we see.” He that Jason is smart and perceptive: “I have this kinda concept of Jason that he can sorta see through the veil. While fans thought that Jason could be a Tethered clone as well, Peele told The Hollywood Reporter that his idea of Jason is different. This is a powerful idea, as this would mean that Jason isn't actually scared of this concept, which is surprising. Fans thought this meant that Jason was aware that Adelaide wasn't herself and that the Tethered clone Red has been here all along. The Us ending also has a memorable moment between Red and Jason (Evan Alex), as they look at each other while "Adelaide" is driving the car. Red knocked Adelaide out so she could take over her life, becoming one of the most underappreciated 2010s horror villains who are cunning and smart. Audiences learn that when Adelaide was a child, she came across Red in the hall of mirrors at the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, which is the haunting and memorable opening scene.

Now that it's creeping to its end, it's time to look back on the full-stops and dot dot dots that defined the decade. So to be truly great, you also have to crown something great and luckily for modern film fans, there have been some incredible examples over the past decade. A good ending also isn't always enough - take Independence Day: Resurgence, for instance, whose ending is as brilliantly entertaining as it is utterly ludicrous, but it comes at the end of a film that is near-unwatchably bad.
