Get Out Summary and Analysis

"Get Out," directed by Jordan Peele, is a thought-provoking and socially relevant horror film that dives into the topics of racism and cultural appropriation in modern day United States. The story follows a young African American man, Chris, who visits his white girlfriend's, Rose, family estate for a weekend getaway, only to uncover a series of disturbing secrets and a sinister plot that threatens his existence as a human being. Peele masterfully blends elements of suspense, satire, and psychological horror, creating a film that serves as both an entertaining thriller and a thought-provoking exploration of racial dynamics adding a mix of comedic background to the film. 

Get Out's use of shots an angles is also something to rave about. From close ups and jump scares, the film captivates the audience, including myself. At times I saw my fellow class mates yelling at the screen for the characters to run away and not do certain things. The suspense really brought the fight or flight adrenaline that we all feel in certain situations, and it was deeply displayed in my peers. Watching this movie for the second time, even though I knew what was coming I still was at the edge of my seat.

Get Out was a great resurgence of the horror genre that we haven't seen in a while. Films now a days focus on the demonic and ghost fears that most humans have. They sacrifice acting and plot for meaningless jump scares and loud audio to scare the audience. Get Out blends the new and old genres of horror to bring back something the horror genre has not seen in a while.

I chose this class because I love to watch movies and its effect on the human emotion. Movies that captivate me are a huge reason why I constantly am watching something new almost everyday. My favorite genre of movies are Crime/Murder: Such as Memories of Murder, Se7en, Prisoners, and TV Shows like: True Detective, but only season 1. But I generally watch and appreciate all genres of film. My favorite film is Memories of Murder. I think this movie, based on true events, captivates emotional challenges detectives face when trying to solve serial murders. It also takes a foreign perspective when a village is laid siege upon by a murderer. Bong-Joon Ho solidified his reputation as a fantastic director with this fi
