Lets keep it 100....does "Get Out" deserve any Oscars?
- Thread starter Silver Surfer
- Start date
Most definitely. Even if it doesn't win, that's not to say whatever does win doesn't deserve to win but its a great movie that's culturally relevant, has something to say, inventive, builds on a love of film and things that have come before it (night of the living dead, stepford wives, invasion of the body snatchers) and its a challenging piece of art. And of all the movies released this year that are up for oscars, it may be the main one we talk about years from now
yup that would be why
:nolan:
Yeah can't argue with that one
if he got best director and get out got best picture, I'd be sound as a pound

Lol at the Logan hype. Get out was better to me. Logan was such a let down should never trust nerd hype.
Also, not to even compare, but this year is similar to the when the kings speech was up next to the social network. If something that's not Get Out wins, Get Out will still be the one talked about years after the fact. And that's no diss to anything else
Yeah it's not leaving the pop culture consciousness anytime soon. For one, it's a think piece machine. People love to write about it, make videos about it, dissect it's themes, and that goes for people that love and hate it. It gets people talking. Even academics, so it'll stay relevant via classrooms where it'll be talked about in film and social studies classes.
Then there are the memes, quotes, and language it has introduced into the lexicon. Sunken place, where the keys, tea cup sounds, that shyt is here to stay for awhile. Especially the sunken place reference.
And though it's too early to measure it, you have to think it's success will influence future projects. We already have a Tales from the Hood sequel in pre-production, and Jordan was already given a new film he gets to write and direct for Universal set to release in 2019, and a HBO series, all based on the success of Get Out (that $250 million return got the studios like
). If this leads to several more successful projects from Jordan, Daniel, black horror films, etc then people will forever remember what kicked it off. Get Out is a cultural marker in time that people will point back to 10, 20 years from now. Can't say the same for, Three Billboards, or Phantom Thread, or Darkest Hour. And that says nothing about the quality of those films.

Yup. The King's Speech is a good flick. It's got great acting and I love Collin Firth. But it ain't the cultural movie the social network is
No one other than the 2 men i posted is getting that statue.Yeah can't argue with that one

Definitely deserves a best screenplay Oscar. The way it worked on multiple levels (horror-thriller/comedy/satire), the symbolism and the clever nuances (they wore hats and wigs to cover the scars from the surgery, the girlfriend telling the cop to leave them alone to not leave a paper trail, etc) was brilliant and you could tell a lot of work went into it.
Negged :logan2:Logan was trash
movie ABSOLUTELY deserves best original screenplay
best picture? nah, no way
