Maybe it's me, but honestly didn't understand any of it. I've read some of the reviews on here, and it looks like people are diving deeper into their own personal lives to get some kind of purpose of this movie. The E.T. was a vacuum powered blanket and a monkey went ballistic in the 80's, somehow has a joint meaning??? Huge fan and supporter of Jordan Peele and will continue to be but this wasn't his best work.
