What Do The Bunnies Symbolize In Us

2019’s Us is, on the surface, a family-swap horror-thriller, yet it holds much more meaningful themes and exploration beneath its premise with the film’s recurring appearances of rabbits providing one of these aspects. Written and directed by Jordan Peele, Us centers on Lupita Nyong’o as Adelaide who goes on a trip with her family only to be encountered by a doppelganger of herself, her husband, and her two children. The impostors then attack the family, leading to a much deeper story of class divide, social status, and racial equality as tends to be the case with Peele’s movies.
