Review of “Get Out”

The horror film “Get Out” is a study of American racial inequality. Jordan Peele, the film’s director, tells the story with a satirical edge and a racial twist. The film explores the unpleasant sensation of realizing you could not belong anywhere. In the film, a handsome young white woman named Rose is dated by a young black man named Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) (Allison Williams). Chris feels awkward meeting Rose’s parents, Dean and Missy, because he’s black and they’re well-off white people. Chris will get to meet his girlfriend’s parents for the first time. Although Chris is worried that Rose’s parents might be racists, he is disturbed to realize that the liberal family has black servants. Chris is further uncomfortable by visitors who make racial comments.

Jordan Peele takes the plot of the movie for a major suspension of disbelief. The director combines the interaction of causal and natural family to create a constant sense of unease. The movie makes you uncomfortable especially when you have no idea about the storyline. Peele’s satire targets liberal white people. There is a difference even when you swear to portray equal treatment on people since both a black and white person have different experiences.

Additionally, Jordan Peele shows confidence and talent in filmmaking through his outstanding work with actors. This is portrayed by the leading role of Kaluuya and the sinister works by Whitford and Keener. The director knows exactly the roles the actors should play, and with each passing minute, there is always quite exceptional performance. Lastly, ”Get Out” is a movie that keeps us on edge from the opening to the final scene.
