Get Out Review

Get+Out+Review

Visiting the the parents is scary enough, but the fact that Chris is black and his girlfriend’s family is white terrorizes him even more. Turns out just talking to them isn’t the scariest part.

“Get Out” goes along with Chris and his girlfriend Rose to meet Rose’s family. Although she has tried assuring him that he’ll be just fine and her parents won’t care that he’s black, he still feels a little uncomfortable when he gets to the parent’s house. Not only do they talk about race in every conversation but the two servants are also black and are always up late at night. They also don’t treat Chris quite the same.

You may know director Jordan Peele from comedians Key and Peele. That being said we should expect something really funny coming from Peele. Which we get and more. The movie keeps you on your seat throughout the movie and wondering what will happen to Chris.

Peele knew that a good chunk of his audience would be liberal white people and in recent interviews he asks that the audience to do some self evaluating. He also asks that we treat everyone the same because depending on your race, the movie may come off differently. But if you look beyond the surface there are some deeper messages in the movie. Behind all the race though are some hilarious scenes and it is a movie everyone has got to see.
