However, the movie subliminally address the topic, through its depictions of white family friends who have a bigger house, better boat and higher socioeconomic status throughout the film, according to Abels.Ībels also commented about his use of “gospel horror.” He was asked to take Black music – a genre filled with hope – and drain the hope from it. The filmmakers deliberately chose to not directly address race and the ways in which it is present in contemporary society. “It’s clear that (Peele) wrote this story, and it's about the haves and the have nots, but it’s designed not to be seen as a racial thing,” Abels said. “It’s such a beautifully nuanced film… and all of the thought that went through it to make it something very unique.”Ībels said that when searching for a composer, Peele sought after somebody who could understand the African American experience in order to best suit the score for the film. “It helped me focus on the music,” said Arrasmith. Kat Arrasmith, a PhD candidate in music education at USC, had only seen the movie once before in theaters, and hearing Abels’ commentary gave her the opportunity to see the film in a new light. The Nick Theatre's showing of the film gave to students the opportunity to ask Abels questions about the process of working with Peele and creating a movie soundtrack. Peele's film "Us" focuses on a family’s beach trip that is ruined after they are attacked by their doppelgängers.

He had his debut composing the score for the Oscar-winning film "Get Out," also directed by Jordan Peele.


The showing consisted of a variety of people: music majors, those who don’t have anything to do with music, those who had seen the film before and those who had not.Ībels is a producer and composer born in Phoenix, Arizona. The Nickelodeon Theatre held a showing of "Us," directed by Jordan Peele, followed by a Q&A session with the film’s composer, Michael Abels, this week.
