So, the underground Adelaide is the real Adelaide and the above ground one is the clone? Why wouldn’t the underground Adelaide just say this? Did she completely forget she started her life above ground? How? She wasn’t THAT young when the swap occurred.
shareYour right the ending of the film was bad. She was around 11 when she went down the stairs why not just walk out like the clone did after she got the cuffs off. 11 year olds are not stupid so she would have walked right out since there were no locked doors, security or anything stopping the clones from leaving.
shareRed was still tethered so all she could do was mimic the actions of the clone Adelaide above ground for all those years as she slowly went insane. The tethering eventually broke because the experiment was a failure and Red was finally able to organise an escape with the other clones and enact her revenge some 30 years later.
Also the clone Adelaide living above ground repressed the memory of the tunnels and grew up believing she was the real Adelaide. The movie could have done a bit of a better job explaining this and it's definitely a lot to process on first viewing but it's all there.
you're saying it the correct way but this shouldn't have been the case according to movie logic. red should have never mimicked Ade cuz she was a real person. Ade should have been mimicking red, regardless if they were above or below. this is why the twist didn't add to the movie but only make things more confusing.
shareYeah, if we are to take the movie plot at all seriously, as opposed to just some philosophical allegory....,then some explanation needed to be made, at least, that said that being In The tunnels somehow magically made you the one that had to “mimic” the other one regardless of who is the original and who is the clone.....but they didn’t even do that.

That would make sense, if Jason hadn't puppeteered the burned boy into the fire, or if the useless dad's clone didn't mimick his "fix the glasses" movement.
shareShe was apparently 8 years old.
