Unique. A Blacksploitation Horror Tale w/ No Nudity, That Somehow Won An Oscar.

Rating: 6/10 (28 June 2019)

So, Jordan Peele, tell me how to categorize this film, so I can accurately rate it... In interviews, you say this film is about "unconscious white liberal racism"... So, it's political satire? Oh. Well then, that's a pretty harsh take on our society. And, I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment, or think that it's fair depiction of society.
But wait - some of these 'educated white film critics' seem to think that it's a really intelligent horror film, depicting what it "feels like to be black in white America". Oh. Well now, that's a different story, isn't it? You see, I can't argue with how you "feel"... And, as a matter of fact, I can say you used those feelings to make an awesome horror flick. It's a unique tale in a horror genre full of stale and poorly-recycled ideas. And, this is the opinion that won Jordan Peele an Academy Award. Since he didn't give The Oscar back, I guess Mr. Peele is ok with this classification.
Those are all other people's opinions after seeing this film. Since this seems to be a topic that's up for debate, then I guess my opinion means as much here as anyone else. So, I'm gonna call this film what it ACTUALLY is - a 2017 Blacksploitation Horror Film, with no female nudity. So, now that we know how to categorize the film, let's make this a teaching moment - there is a reason that we put gratuitous nudity in horror and blacksploitation films... it makes the other content more palatable.
