**An excellent film, which deserves our attention.** I saw this movie yesterday. I've been thinking about it for a while, and yesterday I took the opportunity to do so. I already had a notion that it was a very successful film, and that it was successful at the box office and with specialized critics. For a horror movie, that's pretty good stuff. For my part, I think it's a good film, well above average. It's a tense film, that works well with the environment... and yes, it has scary moments. Nominated for Best Film, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay, it won an Oscar in the latter category. The script works, mostly, on the issue of more educated racism, maintained and cultivated by the white elites of some North American circles where, without harassing blacks, they are seen as “rare birds” in the environment where they are. Afterwards, the film departs from this base to something denser and darker: the protagonist begins to realize that the people in that family act strangely, and that the black people who are there seem to be automatons. It's worth seeing what happens next... This film seeks, in every way, to escape the stigma of American terror: the scares that, due to the action of the effects, make us jump in our seats. Seeking to give us more, he works a lot with the environment, and the tension gradually builds up as our sympathy for the main character grows. And that's the strong point of the film, and what makes it different, on the positive side. Jordan Peele did a very competent job directing, and showed that he understands horror and can give the genre a breath of fresh air. And this becomes even more relevant if we consider an aspect already highlighted by many people: he was a complete novice when he directed the film. Regarding the performances, I think it's fair to value Daniel Kaluuya's performance, more than committed and tense. He was really very good and if the film works so well, in part, it is due to this very competent actor. Allison Williams also leaves a good performance. I especially liked Catherine Keener's work. She does a very small job, appears for a short time in the film, but is very impactful. Despite not being a big budget film, I think I knew how to make the best use of every coin and prove that a good film doesn't really need to be expensive to make. The cinematography is very good, it is within the standard of current films, but it does its job very well. The sets and costumes don't stand out much either, although we have to highlight some quality notes, such as the clothes of some characters and, very in particular, the room where one of the characters ends up imprisoned. The visual and sound effects are good, and are used with intelligence and care. The soundtrack does, without imposing itself, a competent and discreet job.
Man all you fans are going to be embarrassed once racism is bad again... remember back in the day where we were supposed to judge people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin? That attitude is going to come back, in many cases it never died, and even though the faux progressives are pushing to judge people by their skin color... yeah, people are going to just not be racist. This is incredibly racist. It makes a few points. 1) it is anti-miscegenation, the movie is very much against interracial relationships. 2) The movie suggests (like all of his movies) that all white people are not only racist but evil. 3) Deep down all white people want to be Black, the reverse of that joke in Chasing Amy. And it sort of rolls with that through the duration of the film, the messaging is clear, and what is probably why it has so much praise behind it, it hits the most important political mark: "All white people are evil, they are the source of all evil, they need to be punished for it." So of course it's "intelligent" anything that blatantly racist is going to be called "intelligent" today.
Uncomfortably entertaining! The reason for the aforementioned is that 'Get Out' sets up the premise so, so well and you are just waiting for the penny to drop, so all the events leading up to the reveal are very awkward - which only adds to the overall enjoyment in seeing it all unfold onscreen. I've seen Daniel Kaluuya in a few (not as many as I should have by now) films and have always found him to be a solid actor, but his performance here is seriously outstanding - especially emotively, he does so much here with just his facial expressions alone. An awesome performance! I was also impressed by Allison Williams, who I haven't seen nor heard of up until now but she is very convincing; even with the fact that I knew where her character was heading. Lil Rel Howery also does well in a comedic relief type of role, which I have admittedly seen him do before. I like 'Nope' but this even improves upon that, gotta get 'Us' watched at some point to view all that Jordan Peele has offered thus far.
Not surprisingly, "Chris" (Daniel Kaluuya) is apprehensive of his first meeting with the parents of his girlfriend "Rose" (Allison Williams) as the couple arrive at their remote country home. Now what we can plainly see from the outset comes as a bit of a shock to the folks, but they are cordial enough and it seems that maybe this weekend isn't going to be so very bad for "Chris" after all. Thing is, as their stay continues the young man starts to feel distinctly uneasy. He can't quite put his finger on it and the arrival of some close friends to help observe a family tradition (that Rose appears to have forgotten about) only serves to increase his anxiety. To add to this intangibly toxic mix, there is the behaviour of her brother "Jeremy" (Caleb Landry Jones) and the almost robotic behaviour of the family's two retainers - who seems oddly detached from any reality. Regrettably, he isn't and as his race becomes more of an issue, we sense that danger might not be far away. Satire can be very difficult to pull off with subtlety on a big screen, but Jordan Peele uses some clever writing and a great deal of the nuances of human nature to do some characterful manoeuvring here. There are some fairly obvious issues simmering away, but there are also quite a few subliminal ones that are disguised - to varying degrees - in politeness, however shallow. Is it an horror film? Well I'm not sure about that, at least not in any typical sense for the genre. It's not scary at all except in attitude and by the start of the denouement I was beginning to feel the point maybe a bit laboured. Indeed it rather runs out of steam having so intricately laid the foundations for something just a little more sophisticated than what we get. Still, Landry Jones delivers well as the odious sibling and Betty Gabriel presents us with a characterisation that wouldn't have looked out of place in the "Stepford Wives". Maybe it will resonate more in the USA but it's still quite a potent look at prejudice in many of it's different guises.
Racist movie from a racist director Jordan Peele. Movie basically is giving us a message that all white people are bad and evil and all black people are the good and great ones. It's a trash movie and should be left in a trashcan.
Get Out would be a perfect movie if it were not based on racist Black Vs White dichotomy. Anyway, despite of annoying forced racism, the plot is quite intelligent and interesting because shows what is possible to do to human brain that is not explained anywehre else. Recommended if you prefer intelligent sci-fi horror over cheap jump scares and screams.
