Racism is Real? Get Out.
If you are looking for a thrilling movie that simultaneously attacks today's controversies, Get Out is a must see movie. This newly- released horror film has been all the rage. I had heard many positive reviews before seeing this movie, so my expectations were relatively high. I was expecting a somewhat scary film; a thrilling story of a boyfriend whose girlfriend's family has a plan to destroy him. What I was not expecting was a thought-provoking film that cleverly confronts the ever-present issue of racism. Director Jordan Peele has discovered a way to throw a controversial topic into a horror and comedy and impressively wrap it all into one. I found myself laughing out loud as Lil Rel Howery, who plays a TSA agent that is best friends with the main character, comes to the rescue to save his best friend. "Man, I told you not to go into that house," he says at the end. This film includes many classic horror scenes and gore. But this film causes viewers to take a look at racism in a terrifying but real way. This movie is an original; Jordan Peele does something never before done in the movie industry. Although I was slightly upset with the abrupt ending to this movie, I couldn't be more impressed with the overall film. If you believe in reverse racism and are a white lives matter advocate, get out of the showing of this movie.
