Let me preface with a - .
I left the theater thinking did Kubrick possess Peele's body and use his experiences and life during the writing/making of this film? (which to say I was cautious of - how would his social commentary carry over from a sketch to a feature-length film). This shyt [satire] bites hard; I mean a film that tackles pandering, cultural appropriation, asteism, typecasts, modern-day thinghood, White America paranoia, Stockholm syndrome and c00ning - all with a black pulse - needed to be made. If only for the purpose to caricaturize the absurdity of this muh'fukken country, we as black folk live in, for the white masses to see. Which is funny because even though it is a veil for racial commentary, it's a better horror in and of itself. Which is the key to great filmmaking, especially for one whom is black and will inevitably have to deal with accusations of agitprop.
I don't wanna go into too much detail about the film, but one thing I will leave you with is Lil Rel being the black meta-Voice Of Reason is low key the most genius thing about it all - not only for providing a comical balance, not only for the view of reality itself, but there's always that one family member who's trying to be all-up-in-the-videos when you're trying to watch a horror film; unable to tune into their suspension of disbelief.
Depends. I blew up on these 3 nikkas behind me. The movie just started and this nikka kept saying, "man that's a Porsche 944, that's a Porsche 944, sheeit I would of turn around too" I was like breh shyt the fukk up, I hear you more than I hear the movie . I swear I can't stand people like that.
It is now
I'm looking to see it again next week as well movie was amazing . All Chris expressions during the movie lol are the faces I can imagine someone making during awkward racial discussions . The funniest thing is I think white people see This movie and are gonna be like I relate to blsvk people I voted for Obama and saw get out . I can already hear the I'm not racist get out is my favorite movie!!Fantastic movie
I'm gonna see it again on Tuesday
Another thing about him is the idea thatMost interesting character to me was
the blind guy who tries to take Chris over. To me he represents the "color-blind" white guy who "doesn't see race." Even when he's talking through the TV he says he really doesn't give a fukk about Chris being black, he just wants his photography skill. It shows how even if you're not racist and don't care about race, you can still benefit from and perpetuate a racist system. It shows how going along with a racist power structure and taking advantage of it even when you don't necessarily believe in the ideals it promotes is just as, if not more harmful than buying into the ideology. It was very telling how the one character who was the biggest threat to Chris was also the least racist white person in the movie.
It's also tripping me out that the actor who played him is the guy who played Milton in Office Space
Another thing about him is the idea thathe thought he could get Chris gift if he took his body but ignorant to the fact that possibly Chris upbringing and life experience is why he can capture those pictures and he couldn't . And the fact the people in the party seemed to think that black people are wasting all their advantages and a white mind would be able to fully use the gifts .
Also sidenote why woujd the grandfather want a body that his granddaughter had fukked ?lol I hope he can't remember that
i was like nooo at the ending seeing the flashing lights till it showed TSA
I've never heard an audience cheer that loudly during a movie than when his friend came out. Shyt was like watching a buzzer beater at a basketball game

Great point
Him making Chris an artist and a white person trying to take his art was a nice critique of cultural appropriation. And lmao at the grandfather/granddaughter, I didn't even think about that
What you meanone thing that three me off was her calling them her grand parents
