Height of Nonsense! So all this time the Doppelgangers.....(***Spoliers***)


....lived underground and were forced to mimic the same thing which the originals would do above the ground and survive on rabbit meal, right?

So if a tethered original would walk for even 500 meters or more in a straight line, the clone would eventually bang him/her-self to a wall. If the tethered original would run for long distance, the clone would eventually bang with some wall much harder and get hurt or fall unconscious.

How would the clones get Vitamin D without sunlight? So many body systems wouldn't function without the vital vitamin D, let alone bone health.

What about medicines and treatments in case they get hurt? Who used to wash their clothes and where would they get detergent from ?

Likewise, there are hundreds of things which questions their survival in an underground chamber.

And Jordan Peele thought that the audience will digest such epitome of nonsense? The writers should be banned from the film industry. Infact, its the biggest logic-fail in the history of cinema.

The film is referencing what is known as the financial and soon to be digital twin.

When you are born, through paperwork finagling, your parents unknowingly declared you lost cargo. You were lost before you entered the "berth". This is because we are under maritime law instead of common law. The hospital can declare lost cargo because all they received was afterbirth aka destroyed goods. So when your parents went to get your birth certificate, your name is in ALL CAPS. Because they did not receive a child, they only received wreckage. So the government is symbolically recognizing a dead being. This is why they call us the walking dead.

In this film, they symbolized this as a twin being. The dead came up from the underworld to claim their "rightful" place. The tethered name indicates their virtual/digital nature as only existing within computers as a strawmen and women. When they link hands, they are entering the transhuman age of being linked via a network.

In alt sites, they claim that the controllers play "games" with our digital twin selves to ascertain how people will react to certain situations.

Esoterically, the controllers believe in astrology and the changing of the worlds via each zodiac figure. We are currently ending the Pisces Age and entering Aquarius. The rabbits and scissors are astrological symbols. The rabbit is in the sky. Download Stellarium to see it. The scissors represent the opening and closing of the milky way at certain times of the year.

Whatever you do, please don't ever get into screenwriting, or else you will surely come-up with one more quintessence of nonsense.

LOL, you really are funny!

AnnKat can you please explain NOPE to me 😆

reply

Hahaha.....yeah; would really love to read his pompous analysis on Nope!



reply

Nope was already explained by almost everyone.

The big eye attacking everyone was a TV screen.

reply

Of course, you find this funny.

The movie was never meant for you. Which is why you find it confusing.

It's an esoteric, cultic film and its message bodes nothing good for the people watching it.

Your essay is really a fun to read. Have you made such analysis for other movies? It would be real amusement out of the laugh riot it would bring forth.

i love it!

It’s one of those things that makes less sense the more you think about it. They should left it as supernatural thing.

reply

Yeah I agree. They tried to make it realistic and there are just so many things that don't make any sense so it doesn't work. If it was left supernatural, it would have been better.

It's a very Twilight Zone concept. You can obviously challenge it as neither practical nor, probably, even possible... But, the point is that this story, if you take it as real, means that the world is simply not what we thought... If you are willing to accept the story, because it simply grabs you, then this is a great example of a movie to which you should not bring logic and analysis.

Much as many episodes of the original Twilight Zone, it presents what looks like science fiction, but obviously is not.

I find it nightmarish enough that it works just fine. - Only Jordan Peele film I think is worth a damn.

reply

Exactly. Had this droll twilight zone rip off had been made by a white director with a white cast it would have been laughable and you can find similar shit movies all over Tubi with unknowns
