Exploring symbols in the film Antebellum

In today's episode I'll be exploring the symbolism and the plot of the 2020 film Antebellum. This is more of an analysis than a review. The episode is part 1 of  2, part two will be available tomorrow. My initial commentary is provided in this episode, while a more in-depth commentary (after rewatching the movie again) will be provided in part 2.

The film stars Janelle MonĂ¡e, Eric Lange, Jena Malone, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, and Gabourey Sidibe. Directed by Gerard Bush and Christopher Renz. It's also produced by the same people that brought us "Get Out" and "Us".  Provided via the film's website the synopsis is: Successful author Veronica Henley finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality that forces her to confront the past, present and future -- before it's too late.
