Get Out Movie Analysis

The movie Get Out expresses the objective racial tension amongst white and black individuals to a large, diverse audience. The writer and director, Jordan Peele, displays the concept of racism throughout the movie. Racism is shown in the white characters using the black character for their benefit, such as taking a black person’s body part to improve upon their own features. The movie is about a white female, Rose Armitage who brings her boyfriend, Chris Washington, to see her family. Little did Washington know that his girlfriend and family run a hidden sex slave business, where they lure black people to the white community and hypnotize them to take control of their minds and bodies. The scenes throughout the movie show white people using black people as resources and show how powerless black groups are. Peele’s purpose is to show society that racism still exists and many are unaware. He does that by emotionally connecting with the audience.

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.

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.

Jordan Peels’s Get Out (2017) is entertaining through its chilling aspects; however, it also focuses on an extremely important issue in today’s society. Peele uses the combination of sound and graphics to portray the ongoing issue of racism. In this film, a black man by the name of Chris (played by Daniel Kaluuya) is going to meet his Caucasian girlfriend of 4 months- Rose’s (Allison Williams) parents. Chris is very paranoid that his skin color may be a problem with Rose’s folks, but she assures him that her parents are loving of everyone no matter their skin tone. When Chris arrives to Rose’s parent’s upscale property, he is a little uneasy. The housekeeper and groundskeeper are African American and they have a very strange persona, which increases his discomfort. Through tone and dialogue, Get Out expresses how the factor of racism has continually added to the aspect of racial paranoia.

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

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.

The US sociologist Robert K. Merton (1910-2003) said that society structure have many functions such as manifest function that recognized and intended consequences of any social pattern, latent functions the opposites of manifest functions and lastly social dysfunction that any social pattern that may disrupt the operation of society.

My first impression on the film “Second Opinion” with T. R. Reid: “Inside Ayurvedic Medicine” was: another anecdotal documental from a famous person giving his point of view about his experience using Ayurvedic treatment for his particular health problem. When we are sick, we look around for any possible cure that gives us some hope, no matter how it is presented to us. Ayurvedic is a type of complementary and alternative medicine that originated in India. According to the film the patient initially was not totally convinced about Ayurvedic Medicine, but finally he discovered some improvement on his health condition. However, there were not scientific bases that prove the patient’s treatment outcomes.

Jordan Peele said that the film takes aim at racism in white liberal America which the center theme of Get Out. While I was worried the film would spend too much time preaching it really just focuses on the fact that when people try too hard not to appear racist, they are actually more incentive than direct racism. To the dad assuring Chris that he would have voted for Obama a third time if he could or people asking him about his struggles as a black man, Peele being a bi-racial man married to a white woman in real life understands that people tend to overcompensate for their race when it’s not needed. Even Rose at times takes offense to what she projects as racism even know there was no intent to be found. Not despite Peele claiming he did not base this film on his wife’s family, I refuse to believe that much of the writing didn’t come from his own personal experiences.

Do we live in a racist society? Well actually, we’re all racist. But racism by white people matters more, although they don’t see themselves as being racist. But in fact, everyone, no matter what color is racist. My aunt is a psychiatrist and she told me that our brains have the tendency to automatically associate our own race with good and other races with bad, whoever we are. In his film, Get Out, Peele uses the current hot topic of race and discrimination as the main focal point to convey how race is viewed differently based off of point of view. In today’s society its more common to see interracial couples and you wouldn’t really think anything of it. Peele took to his advantage of changing times to create a film that embodies race and the different perceptions of it.

Quintin Tarantino is back with his highly anticipated eight film The Hateful Eight. After a script leak in 2014 Tarantino put the project on the back burner until a Samuel L.
