Get Out Keeps Running To The Top Of The Charts For The Best Original Screenplay

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2019)

In the film "Get Out" by the director Jordan Peele, he uses different methods throughout the film that bring up the painful history of the racism in America. The actual suspenseful effect that the film had was very powerful, some parts of the movie made me feel like the actions that some of the characters were partaking in were happening to me.
This film is horror/suspense based and it is centered by a interracial couple, the African American male Chris (Daniel Kaluuya), and the female, Rose (Allison Williams). The couple had been dating for over some months now and it was time for Chris to meet Rose's parents. Get out takes you through a various ride of emotions almost feeling like I was connecting to some of the characters at times. Chris had previous worries about his race towards her parents, once they arrived to her parents house and are a bit more settled in, Chris begins to feel more paranoid on what they are hiding from him. As the film goes on in kind of turns into more of a horror film having all of the audience on the edge of their seats.
Jordan Peele uses such a unique way of truly attracting the audience to the film, considering the music as well. The Swahili song that gets recognized throughout the whole film by being in the background keeps an ongoing eerie feeling that something bad is yet to come. Peele does an absolutely outstanding job showing the similarities between all the black characters in the movie at Rose's parents house. In the film the acting is incredible, it almost made me forget who the the actors were because they were playing the part of their characters so well.
One of my favorite parts in the movie shows how I was able to connect to some of the racial stereotypes Chris was facing during a family party at Rose's parents house. At some times Jordan Peele throws in some of his comedic sense of humor at some of the almost screeching horrific parts of the film.
Get Out brings up the sad and hurtful passed of racism but also it connects to the way Chris feels when he is in the sunken place. Because he felt like he had no control over what was going on, same with the racism in the past and how many African Americans were being controlled. This film also connects back to an older suspenseful like horror film called The Shining. Jordan Peele was very inspired by this movie because it gave Get Out more twisted clues at times that no one would notice until the second time they watch it. From the beginning to the end of the movie Peele has everyone on their toes horrified on what's to come. A reference to another director/author that could've been used to make this film would've been Stephen King, just because he makes horror films that include some comedic features that seep through during some of the more suspenseful parts of the film.
Some ways Jordan Peele could've made this movie more prestigious is if he hadn't had the funny black TSA character Rod who is Chris's friend, stop out of the police car to save Chris but instead have actual police officers step out while he is in the middle of trying to save himself from Rose. This change would've made the whole audience stand up in anger and start to yell at the characters to try and help them.
This will forever be one of my recent favorite horror films, it gave me all the emotions one could have within an hour and forty five minutes. Until Jordan Peele comes out with another movie that matches this one it will be on the top of the scale in my mind and in the category of suspenseful films as well. I am pretty positive the whole audience was pleased after watching this incredible film, it was definitely worth the wait and seeing it in the theater! Get Out is highly recommended to watch and then watch it again and notice the little things that show some of the hidden secrets that show what they are hiding at the end.
