A movie to watch cold

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2018)

Excellent film if you're coming at it cold. Fortunately, a friend recommended it to me, but warned me not to read anything about it beforehand. Good warning. Essential warning because the IMDB page has it's own spoiler in plain sight: "Plot Keywords: hypnosis, brain surgery ".
The movie is beautifully shot; pleasant laid back opening about boyfriend going to meet girlfriend's parents. Then it starts to get a little bit unsettling. So basically, all been done before, but this is nicely done, and has a crowd-pleasing finale, which would have pleased me even more if he'd caved her head in with the rifle butt, but that's just a personal observation.
So, after watching the film, I decided to read the IMDB trivia and was stunned that I'd just been watching a movie about white oppression of blacks, and never realised. Oh yeah, the lead guy is black. I was still rooting for him. That's what you do when watching movies, you root for the lead guy. So when he goes to meet her parents (she's white, by the way) he's a bit nervous. A bit nervous, like any guy is when going to meet the girlfriend's parents, and then the rest of the family come round and some are a bit weird. We've all been there; Black or White. I might have thought the boyfriend was being a bit racist when he sought out the other black guy at the garden party, but then people tend to gravitate to people they feel they can connect with, rather than to people they can't, so no racism there.
Apparently most white people think the girlfriend must have been drugged or hypnotised to do what she did. Hell no: she's evil. That's why I wanted the boyfriend to stove her head in.
Anyway, if her folks are white supremacists (as the trivia suggests) why the heck would they want to transplant their parents' brains and the brains of their friends into black bodies?
"Whoa, get me a white body, man, because I'm a white supremacist".
I do get tired of the cliche of some bad guy being beaten over the head twice, and then he turns up later to attack the hero again. Hit him three times, man. Then five more.
And by the way, if you're going to do a brain transplant, you remove the host-body brain first, so that the transplant brain remains fresher. But then that wouldn't have given the boyfriend time to escape.
Next time lets' have a movie about a White guy going to meet his Black girlfriend's parents.
And then hear the howls about a movie badmouthing Black families.
The friend-of-hero is brilliant. A great comic turn, which leads to the greatest scene in the movie, where he tries to explain to a police woman that he thinks his friend has been abducted to be a sex slave, and she calls her superiors round, and then they all listen to the story again. There's a beat and then they all fall about laughing. Brilliant. For that scene, this is a 10/10 movie. Shame I read the trivia.
