Get Out (Spoilers!)

This film introduces Rose, a white woman, who is bringing her boyfriend Chris, a black man, to meet her family. Chris has nerves surrounding this, given this. This movie leads to insane twists and turns with sooo many easter eggs and foreshadowing involved.

Jordan Peele's 2017 film, Get Out, was a film that I had heard amazing things about, but never got around to seeing. As a horror fan, I felt embarrassed to have not seen this film, and after viewing it in class I was so glad I did. After watching half of the film during class, I couldn't wait to watch the other half, so I went home and watched it on my own. From beginning to end, this film captured my attention the entire time. The highlights of this film were both the detail and the connection to race issues in our society. I also really loved the eeriness of this film. My favorite scene in the film is the "bingo" scene. The silence and creepiness of this scene were amazing to me. As the camera slowly paned down to reveal that they weren't playing bingo, but were in fact auctioning off Chris, it absolutely shocked me. The foreshadowing of when Chris and Rose hit the deer on the road, to the end of the film when Chris left Rose on the road, all tying into the death of Chris' mom, was also phenomenally done. The acting in this film is also outstanding. Every character was played so well and had so much depth even if we didn't get each character's full backstory. Another favorite scene of mine, was when Missy was hypnotizing Chris. Daniel Kaluuya's acting in this scene was perfect. He struck emotion within the audience so easily. This film has countless little details that really just make it a whole masterpiece for me.

I recently watched this video discussing hidden messages/easter eggs in this film. Not only did the movie itself blow my mind, but this video did as well. Here are some notable easter eggs that I personally missed: 1. The song playing at the beginning of the movie, which was called "RedBone" by Childish Gambino says the lyrics, "Stay woke," and "Don't go to sleep." These are a message to Chris telling him not to go to the sunken place. 2. It is assumed that bringing up Obama is a part of the Armitage script. Despite this, at the family party, the Armitage family is wearing all red, while Chris is wearing blue, perhaps suggesting political parties. 4. Although it had appeared that Rose got angry at the police officer for asking for Chris' ID for race-related reasons, in reality, she didn't want the officer to see Chris' ID in case he was reported as missing. 5. When Chris gets up in the middle of the night, we see Walter running. We find out that Walter is really Roses's Grandfather, who was an Olympic runner and was beaten by a black man, so that is why we see him running. 6. Finally, regarding Roses's grandmother, it was said that she loved the kitchen and that there was "a piece of her still in there," and that piece is Georgina.
