734234, One thing I thought re: the Americans scene
Posted by spirit, Tue Apr-02-19 08:27 PM
The two leads are African nationals. I thought about the double consciousness of African Americans. The underworld could be a slavery allegory. They were given terrible food to eat, etc. Underground tunnels (railroads, anyone?). Can’t place the significance of the rabbits (Alice in Wonderland? Easter/resurrection symbol? The Matrix?). Might see it again. Jeremiah 11:11 is made even more disturbing in context of this film. Orange suits seem to call back to mass incarceration. No idea what the scissors signify.

Peace,
