What whites don't get is that the horror......is white people.

Rating: 10/10 (12 July 2017)

Really outstandingly excellent movie with a changed point-of-view for people of color. So, the plot is: black dude goes to meet white girlfriend parents for the first time at their remotely rural house and then he notices something weird.
I suppose this film works even better if you don't know it's a horror and if you assume it's a drama, but even you knew that it still would be a good movie. So, what whites don't get is that the horror is ..... them! These are basic fears of every black person living in a white society: re-enslavement and getting locked up because you're black. Whites don't have these fears, nor are their fears on the same level or even real. Of course, there HAS been REAL re-enslavement going on in America, the whole "justice" system is actually a continuation of slavery with other means. These are neo-Jim Crow laws and whites are openly still in denial about that. Some blacks too, BTW. Voter-ID laws combined with disproportionate prison sentences, ghettoizing blacks into toxic areas with zoning laws etc. does too, constitute neo-JimCrow, no matter how much that's denied.
My only criticism of this film is that its over the top approach of this subject trivializes it. These fears are very real for blacks but whites won't recognize that. Just like they won't recognize half of the micro-aggression's in the film: "with your genetic qualities", "are they really better", "I'd voted for Obama a third time" "My man" "black skin is in fashion" etc. etc.
These remarks might seem subtle to whites but are pretty hurtful to blacks. Like making gas-remarks to Jews. Or talking to Jews about banking and money. Most whites would get why that is anti-Semitic, but they won't get why "with your genetic qualities" is racist. Oh well.
Jordan Peele really exposed a lot of micro-aggression's, but I fear that even liberal whites won't exactly get why that is offensive. Still, great effort by Peele. And that goes for the overall film. No real plot holes, except for one tiny one: If the TSA guy knew that the first black man was missing, wouldn't it be natural to call that guys' FAMILY to tell them he's been found? Especially if the cops did NOTHING. I suppose he was too busy looking for Chris or driving to Chris.
9/10 The Melancholic Alcoholic.
