Just watched Get Out last night. Anyone care to discuss??
Way late but I loved it! It was so unnerving. It was the first time I genuinely was afraid watching a movie. I think Jordan was a stand out and 100%deserved that Oscar.
It seemed somewhat derivative of Stepford Wives, but different enough to stand on its own. Very timely.
I thought it was alright I thought it was going to be a little more hardcore. Too light.
I loved it except the last 2 minutes
"We're TSA! We handle things!" Hahaha!
No, just no. @SamKerry
I enjoyed it. The movie lends itself to several levels of analysis.
Many black people felt that it helped white people understand how they felt. It was well done with good tension and character development. A great movie that I would have voted for the Oscar had I been a member of the Academy.
I love the movie on so many levels. Not only did it really give a realistic Viewpoint of How African Americans perceive white privilege and modern so-called liberalism, it was also a great horror flick on a visceral level.
^^This. Very win. So much amaze.
It was an amazing movie.
I was about to get pissed at the ending...but then it was perfect.
Apparently they shot or developed an alternate "not happy" ending. But they chose what was in the final cut - correctly so, I think.
I could be wrong, because it was some time since I read this. They chose the happy ending because they didn't want it to be a "bait and switch" and they needed to end it positively. Otherwise, what was the point.
@SamKerry That was the original ending. Did not go over well with test audience.
@LoriMcAfee ahhhh. Thanks for the info.
@SamKerry Peele said that it was too real and depressing so he ended it a a more positive note.
