Get Out Movie Analysis

I decided to analyze the film “Get Out” because I feel like it’s one of the best films out there. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a film that uses both comedy and horror at the same time while also talking about issues such as race, class and more. Watching the film in the movies, I was constantly on the edge of my seat worried about what’s going to happen next to Chris who is explained later on. I remember even when the audience at the movies were cheering along with characters in the movie which made it even more funnier but entertaining to watch. It’s not often you will see movies that talk about racial issues that are happening today because of the most of the time it’s about stuff from the past such as slavery.In addition, I also liked this film because I could somewhat relate to the main character. He was always apologizing and being understanding in situations that was not his fault but instead the other person which reminds of myself. It’s important for me to analyze this film because I believe there’s many symbols and hidden meanings that I didn't realize while watching the first time around which made me want to dig deeper.

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.

The film “Juvies” really made me think about how the criminal justice system treats young children. Before watching the film, I was under the impression that children were treated fairly and with care when they commit a crime. After all, they are just kids. However, to my surprise, this was not the case. Many children have been cheated by the law because they are put through the adult system and are not given a fair trial. Meanwhile, these children are expected to make the rational decisions that an adult would make. There is biological evidence that kids do not have the ability to control impulsive behavior because their brains are underdeveloped. Thus, I believe this system is extremely unfair because children are not protected in adult prisons, which makes it very difficult for them to succeed once they are released back into the free world.

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)

Both resources mentions of having conflicts.The book “Inside Out and Back Again” tells the story of a young girl named Ha and her perspective during the Vietnam War. One conflict is that Ha’s new classmates are bullying her cause of her race, appearance, and beliefs is being bullied in her new school. People at her new school call her pancake face over and over. When Ha says she knows Buddha there was laughter and murmurs saying Boo-da Boo-da, they also pulled Ha’s arm

In his 2017 horror film Get Out, Jordan Peele not only makes his director debut, but delivers a particularly insightful view into the state of racial affairs in modern America.The stories narrative follows an African American man named Chris, who goes to visit his white girlfriend's parents at their rural home only to uncover a horrifying plot in which the girlfriend and her parents are in fact racist and have been abducting black people and using their bodies in medical experiments involving the transfer of consciousness. On a surface level, the plot of the film has the ability to come across as quite simplistic in scope, an obvious labeling of privileged American whites as racist; however, a deeper analysis reveals careful consideration to

I’m analyzing the effect of racism and white supremacy in the movie “Get Out”. It was recently released to theatre that tells the story of an interracial couple named Chris and Rose and their trip to visit Rose’s family. The plot starts out simple with it just being a weekend out of the city to be a thriller horror story. Once they get there Chris notices some strange things happening. At the start it seems like everyone is very uncomfortable around African Americans. Especially at the family’s annual party with all their friends, unknown to Chris this party was actually an auction to buy Chris. Not until a little later does he find out that the family is apart is actually the leaders of a secret white supremacy cult that abducts African

Inside Out is a Disney-Pixar film in which a girl, Riley Anderson has her entire world flipped upside down when her father’s job forces them to relocate from Minnesota to San Francisco. Disney worked with scientists to make this as realistic as possible, it is still readerly. There is no room for interpretation of the movie, even if someone noticed something new about it each time they watched, it would still be the same. Regardless of it’s readerly nature, I enjoyed this movie more compared to other Disney movies that are the run of the mill love story.

Get out is a well-scripted movie that focuses on racism and modern slavery. It features Chris an African-American who has proposed to Rose an American. The mixed-race couple set off for the weekend for Chris to meet Rose’s parent. Chris is worried about his skin color, but Rose tells, him her family have a liberal mind. As Rose had assured Chris, he is welcomed warmly, but the fact is that Rose’s family have been luring blacks to their homes to be used for some particular motives.

The 2017 horror-thriller film Get Out, ironically directed by famous comedian, Jordan Peele, caught the attention of a wide array of audiences with its strong take on tackling present day racism. The movie revolves around Chris Washington, a black man, who is in an interracial relationship with Rose Armitage, a white woman. The concept of interracial dating is still frowned upon by a rather substantial amount of Americans today, and this movie uses that uneasiness to drive its message across. Rose assures Chris that although she has not mentioned to her parents that she was dating a black man, it would be alright and that there is nothing for him to worry about. When they arrive to her parent’s estate, he is immediately bombarded with

In America, racism as well as race relations are generally extremely sensitive subjects that are often brushed underneath the rug. Earlier this year, Jordan Peele’s Get Out graced the big screen, and left audiences with a great deal to digest. Peele’s first cinematic debut touched on the delicate topics of racism and the continuous devaluing of African American culture by “liberal” Caucasians in American suburbs. In this essay, one will explore the ways in which works written by modern political thinkers such as Nietzsche and Marx effortlessly add perspective through various theories on the difficulties brought to light in the motion picture, Get Out.
