This shyt wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too long

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

After reading a lot of the posts, I'm just gonna not even try to discuss it here. Damn, I miss IMDB forums.

I'm just gonna say that some of y'all seem really young, or need to expand your horizons. Read more, and not just non-fiction and self help, but fiction, literature, the books they told you to read in school, that clearly, a lot of you didn't.

One poster really said he needs to make real black movies. WTF. But also, if you go into the movie, ready to dissect it, it's already lost you. This movie is just as much horror/comedy/social commentary as something as They Live. Did you go into They Live ready to dissect it?

This so hilarious to me

Typical ploy used


Yall stay telling on yourselves


I can't tske yall simple dudes serious



Dudes crying over this weak ass shyt like it's a master piece

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

The entire plot of this dumb shyt

This is some 4th grade creative writting


Most horror movies

just horrible writting

You might not like the movie. But Jordan Peele be trying to tell us some shyt thru his films.

In Get Out he was telling us about these rich white families using Hypnotic therapy and neuro-linguistic programming to mind control black men and eventually take over their bodies.The film is about social engineering and behavioral modification (e.g. NLP, DHE, NHR)

In US it is also about social engineering and behavioral modification, in relation to developmental psychology and environment. Where we see a clone develop into a real person due to her being socialized and living ABOVE with real humans..thru this the learns to speak, experience love, and emotion etc. She developed into a full fledged human (contrary to the belief the experiment failed).

While the real girl forced to live among the tethered clones digressed because of her socialization during her youth, growing up in the abandoned dysfunctional environment of the tethered.

Also in keeping with the idea of cloning, and social engineering he makes the black family a cheap imitation and tethered of the white family.

They vacation in the same place (though the white family lives on the other side of the island), though the white family house is better, their car is better newer, their boat is better etc. He even makes a point of showing us the black father buying the cheap beat up boat in the name of trying to keep up with the white family.

He wonderfully combined ideas from Alice in Wonderland, Pinocchio, and the twilight zone esque elements to craft his veiled social commentary.

I don’t care I still say the movie was dope. The movie even had me add The Beach Boys song to my play list and I just at the thought of the scene associated with it. Followed by NWA i went in literally paying attention to details and was able to catch some things and still wasn’t ready for other things. I think Jordan Peele did a great job and his storytelling is refreshing for the current phase of rehashed bullshyt.

Yes it was a different version of a movie that has been made. Yes there are already movies about doppelgängers and body doubles but the black family did not fall into the horror movie shelf as black people.


And yes, I was proud that the black woman saved the day.... and was

The villain

As far as the father being made out the way he was come on he was just being a dad. Kinda corny but did what he could do to save his family the way he could. Red knew what was going on therefore she was better able to react to save them.

Most horror movies have dumb plots. Hell, the plot of The Birds was a chick stalks a dude to his hometown, and birds attack. That's it, and that's about 45 minutes into it.

I just re-watched it, and it definitely went more Twilight Zone in feel with this one. I actually like it more this time. But most people won't.

Personally, I enjoyed it so much cause i was freaked out how much young Red looks like my niece. When my sisters and I took her to see Us, my older sister said it better be you coming out the bathroom stall and not some damn underground body double.

Saw the movie, wasn't trash but wasn’t ground breaker either. It was cinematically beautiful, and the premise was pretty clear but it wasn’t compelling as I would have liked.

3.5 -4 stars

Completely unrelated but can you recommend some fiction to a young breh? & how do you pick out fiction, off reviews?

 

[Apollo Creed]

Yall still trying to convince yourselves this movie wasnt trash


If Peele bombs Candyman then dude is officially bush status.

 

[ThrobbingHood]

I just saw this movie (I know I’m late.)

I’m not sure how I feel... the music, actors, directing was A+ but the actual plot....

Now people see what I'm talking about.
