as a specific point it doesn't matter, but I'm suspicious of any reading that isn't firmly rooted in actual details of what's on-screen.

they stayed alive by eating the rabbits obviously but i don't particularly care that the exposition is stupid
The fun thing about this detail is that if you eat a diet solely composed of rabbit you will starve to death

so they couldn't have picked a worse food source for their nonsensical plan!

I loved the first 45 mins, and then spent the rest of the time alternately amused and exasperated. The middle part is definitely the weakest, as it basically becomes a home invasion thriller with this one kooky hook. The final reveal worked ok for me even if it doesn't entirely play fair with the lead character's childhood trauma.

it's a good home invasion thriller! also iirc the part where Peele gets to work more humour than elsewhere into the movie?

I loved this movie a lot and my takeaway from this thread is that I would thoroughly hate watching a movie with most of you

I also have some incredibly unkind thoughts on subconscious bias as expressed in some of the complaints about this movie but they are possibly more about my interpretation of the complaints than the actual complaints themselves.

(Primary being "the dialog was stilted" = "black people don't talk like that")

thread revive got me all mixed up in light of other recent events. Jordan Peele threatening pre-emptive Iran strike, do I have that right?

there's a broader melange of on-the-nose allusions: people wearing prison-style jumpsuits, chained and tethered and joined to each other, an underclass marked by this clothing and colour rising up
