Been Done and Done Better

Rating: 3/10 (16 March 2018)

It's as if nobody remembers 1975's "The Stepford Wives" which is precisely where this script came from. Ira Levine did a great job on the novel and William Goldman did a great job on the screenplay.
Jordan Peele may have never seen that film but what "Get Out" portrays about racism was already done--except with sexism.
Think about it...
All these husbands wanted their wives to be perfect little housewives in white, middle class suburbia so they "program" them to be exactly what they want them to be.
And in "Get Out," the people want to use black folks' bodies in white, middle class suburbia so they "transplant" their white brain into them to be exactly what they want to be in a different body.
I don't know--maybe it's me. Maybe I'm mis-reading the whole thing, but it sure looks like an obvious rip-off that's getting way too much acclaim for what it is.
