It is a horror film, but the reality is more horrific

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2017)

A film director has a lot of ways to talk about the issue of racism in the United States through dramas (compared to documentaries).Discussing historical events is a common method, "12 Years a Slave", "Selma", and "The Butler" , just to name a few.It is kind of distance between audience and this genre of movie taking about black and white, like time and space differences. Most of the time, in these films, villains are more radical, extremely white supremacy, conservative old-fashioned and stubborn, all of which make most audience assure that "those whites in the film are very wicked, I was not the people alike."Rather, this time, "Get out" doesn't repeat the exact same way to process the theme. It is for certain a thriller film, but it is also one such film talking about racial issues. Throughout the film, villains are not the kind that look like whites in the southern United States, but those liberal from Northeast, who look upon themselves as kind people without racial discrimination. That is to say, all those who think that they are not discriminated against blacks can learn a big lesson while watching "Get out".
"Get out" has lot of connotations, which are thought-provoking, in the script, reflecting the black dilemma in history of the United States. As black people lose freedom and voice so that they can't even protest against unjust system, so are the black people who are hypnotized and whose body are taken in the film.
At the very beginning of the film shows a reversal of the routine portraits of black and white in Hollywood films- usually the protagonists are afraid of encountering black people, or walking by the poor slum mostly regarded as black area on edge; However, in "Get out" here comes a black man walking butterflies in his stomach in the white community. After watching the whole process, I bet some people's heart almost jump out.Sadly, that black guy isn't at all surprised by that, but lament that "God it really happened to me." It seems a garden- variety for all black people that they often meet doom in their daily life.For just a few minutes, the director has put the audience into the black people's position.
The things that whites do to blacks in the film are nothing but a metaphor of white hegemony that has forced blacks to submit to them in reality.Rose's mother is so-called psychiatrist, and she makes use of hypnotism to repress Chris's consciousness into the sunken-place.She uses exquisite and noble cup and teaspoon. With elegant and noble stir, she skillfully makes innocent Chris give up himself. Chris has no easy way out. After such bad things have been done, Rose's mother is still a educated lady in upper class."Self-consciousness falls into the sunken-place" is a very clever metaphor, it represents victim can clearly witness the unfair treatment, but can not speak, nor move, much less escape.Recently, in the United States, a slogan "Black Lives Matter" has come up throughout the black civil rights movement. "Black Lives Matter" is a goal. There is still a long way to reach the goal. You may cry, but most of the time, crying and shouting are useless, according to the film.
After transformation, repressing the real thought, having a big smile, the rebirth black people have all the qualities of white elites in upper class. Who would you think of at once? Barack Obama of course. He was a competent president. Blacks and whites alike are fond of him. Nevertheless, it seems that blacks and whites have yet to reach a reconciliation. Black people still feel that they are excluded, and even in the viewpoint of liberal white elites, they are thought to be the second citizens. How to resolve the problem? There is no easy answer. "Get out" is a horror film, but the reality is more horrific because the film is fictitious, and the reality is not fictitious.
