Film Review Essay On Don T Get Out By Allan Peele

His idea for the film stemmed from the election of President Obama in 2009. During this time, Peele stated “...people were living in an illusion of a post-racial world.” and “We’ve got Obama so racism is over, let’s not talk about it. That’s what the movie was meant to address.” The main purpose of the film was to share his belief that racism was still very much of an issue. He had hoped that this would open the eyes of society to the issues of racism starting from the Obama administration. He also wanted to shed a light on racism that was not previously thought of, such as white culture desiring to be more “black” because “black is in fashion” (Staff).

The controversial movie Get out is a movie that none of the public expected which worked out in the director, Jordan Peel’s favor. The genre is unknown to even the director of the movie even though others have classified the film as a comedy. From first-hand experience of watching the film, I can assure you that, that is not the case. Get out deals with racism issues e.g., when the main character’s white girlfriend, Rose Armitage, played by Allison Williams, hits a deer on the way to her parent's house with her black boyfriend, Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, with him sitting in the passenger side. When Rose calls the police to report the issue, the police officer proceeds to ask for Chris’ driver's license although he was not the one driving. Rose makes a scene telling the officer that it was not fair that he had to present his license and Chris was quietly trying to calm her down because he knew that it was not going to make a difference. By putting this scene into the movie, the director wanted to address some of the issues that African Americans have to deal with from the police.

Racism is a huge problem in today’s society. Get Out (2017) gives the audience insight of the pressures and treatments a black individual may experience. A Washington Post article written by Bethonie Butler states “As Chris warily interacts with Rose's parents (her dad has the sudden inclination to use such phrases as "my man!") and their inner circle, the story conveys what it means to constantly be on alert in certain settings and company. In other words, what it means to be black in America.” (Washington Post)

Simultaneously a creepy horror thriller and a witty laugh, Get Out, is the debut feature from actor-turned-director Jordan Peele, who also wrote and produced.

The movie's success depends on using dated stereotypes: "angry black woman," "thuggish black man," and "innocent" white women. White men,

The degree of connection between all of the characters in the movie is so coincidental and interrelated to emphasize the point that we do not always know what is going on with everyone else we may encounter. It also accentuates the fact that racism is not one particular race against another. It also shows that we never know someone’s situation and what is happening in their life to make them act the way that they do if

Jordan Peele’s Get Out presents the notion of racism and injustice through the guise of a horror movie. While elements of horror such as gore and fear are included and the movie leaves us on edge throughout, Peele uses satire to highlight racial tension and anxiety in society.

Throughout the movie, Chris is faced with many weird encounters involving Rose’s family, leading up to the climax where Chris realizes Rose has tricked him and has been the antagonist the whole time. Rose’s family attempts to conduct an operation that will give Jim, a family friend, control of Chris’ body, but Chris manages

For many centuries racism has being an ongoing problem and occurrence in many societies, especially in America. Many different measures have been taken to try and diminish the racism that clearly infests this beloved country, but none have ever truly worked. Although these measures have never effectively worked to erase racism out of our society as a whole, some have opened people's’ eyes in creative ways to understand that it is no joke. One measure that has somewhat worked is through media and the arts such as cinema, literature, and paintings. An example of cinema is Jordan Peele’s movie, “Get Out” that portrays racism through a sense of horror that captivates a viewer's mind to see and understand the underlying theme of it all. “Get Out” is about a young African-American man named Chris who falls for a young Caucasian woman named Rose. Together they are going up to meet Rose’s family who put on an act to make it seem like they are somewhat normal, but in reality lure young African-Americans into their home every year to auction them off to a group of older white people so they can use their bodies for pseudo-immortality. Peele’s horrific movie “Get Out” opens a viewer's eyes and mind to the different concepts of racism and how brutal and unjust it is to people of color.

Even though the film was meant to funny, it did make me think about different cultural preduice and obstacles interacial relationships may face.
