Not sure why people love the film the way that they do

Rating: 7/10 (23 April 2017)

It is a good film, but I'm not sure why people love it the way they do. Like it is a social justice thing or something. I've heard everything from conspiracy theories about body organ harvesting to warnings about interracial relationships and nothing appears to come close to a true understanding about what the film does, and that is merely to provide metaphors for deeper issues about race. What those are, is totally up to you to decide. What disturbs me, is that people want to take the film literally, and the absurdity of what we see in this film suggests, at least to me, that the film was never meant to be taken literally.
I almost wonder if people are actually watching the sketches from Key and Peele and enjoying them for the social commentary or if that aspect goes completely over their head. The fact that we're looking deeper into anything they do or try to figure things out suggests that the joke is on us. If anything I love the film because it successfully trolls people looking for something to validate whatever theories or micro aggression they may have. It is not a question of whether the film is the truth about anything so much as it is a consideration about why we're looking under pillows and mattresses for confirmation about the complexities of race relations that we already know too well.
Watch the film. Yes, things are not always as they seem. But that isn't the point. The point of it is that you want things to be what they are not. But what are you going to do about it once you come into the realization of what it truly is, and who is to say that you'll never do it all over again?
