Must See Movie!!

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2019)

Get Out is horror thiller that dives much deeper into a commentary on the topic of race and racism in America today. This film does not leave you once you watch it, this film lingers in your thoughts well after the credits finish rolling. This was Jordan Peele's debut in directing a horror movie. He masterfully and subtly payed homage to classical horror films while still putting his own foot-print on the film. It specifically pays homage to The Stepford Wives and Night of the Living Dead. The film was casted beautifully and the two actors that stood out were Daniel Kaluuya who plays Chris Washington and Lil Rel Howery who plays Rod Williams. This was Daniel Kaluuya's first major role in a film, and I believe that he stepped up and his acting looked effortless. Lil Rel Howery was the perfect fit for the movie because he has starred in the role of comedic relief in many movies like: Uncle Drew and Tag. Next, the sound design gives the audience Toby Oliver and Jordan Peele work skillfully together to create the images in the film. There is an alluring scene where Chris is in the sunken place. This was very elegant and chaotic at the same time. They wanted to create a feeling of the sense of him floating in a black void with the screen above him. They achieved this by simulating Chris being uracistnderwater while he was on a dry set. Another great scene is when actor Betty Gabriel, playing the maid gets a close up of here crying and laughing at the same time while the camera was about 8 inches from her face.I would rate Get out an 8 out of 10 and a must see.
