Get Out Storyline

After dating each other for five months, Rose Armitage is taking Chris Washington, a photographer, to meet her parents, Dean and Missy Armitage, for the first time in spending the weekend with them at their isolated lakeside home in the country. Chris is concerned that Rose, who is white, has not told them that he is black, especially as he knows he is the first black man she’s ever dated. Rose, in turn, reassures him that the color of his skin would not matter to them, they, as health care professionals – he a neurosurgeon, she a psychiatrist – who would be more concerned about his smoking. Even more concerned than Chris is his best friend Rod Williams, also black, who, as a TSA agent, is paid to be worried about the possibility of the worst. It isn’t until they arrive at the house that Rose is reminded that this weekend also marks the annual get together of friends at the house, a ritual started by Rose’s long deceased paternal grandfather, Roman Armitage, meaning that Chris will be under the scrutiny of a larger group of people in Rose’s life. While Dean and Missy are welcoming and cordial enough, Chris begins to have an odd sensation about the situation, where the issue of race is brought up frequently in subtle yet not so subtle ways, and in the case of Rose’s younger medical school student brother Jeremy Armitage, somewhat adversarial, again primarily in only underlying ways, all which Rose acknowledges in her surprise. In addition, Chris notices the Armitages’ two domestics, Georgina the housekeeper and Walter the groundskeeper, both black, often act almost like they are detached from reality. Will Chris find that Rod was correct in he having walked into a problematic situation because of the color of his skin in this odd feeling setting?

Get Out Movie Reviews

Not bad but very overhyped

Get out is a thriller horror film and tells the tale of a African American man named Chris who travels with his white girlfriend to see her parents. But when Chris sees his girlfriend’s parents their behaviour is very odd.

What have they againist African American people?

Overall the suspense was very good and the acting was good. The only 2 actors I knew in this film was Bradley Whitefield from Kate and Leopold and Catherine Keener from Beetlejuice.

Lame horror film tropes and racial stereotypes sink comedy writer’s directorial debut

Get Out is the directorial debut of comedy writer Jordan Peele who has taken a page out of the Quentin Tarantino wish fulfillment fantasy playbook. Unlike Tarantino, Peele operates in the much more lucrative horror genre, his film grossing $184 million worldwide against a mere $4.5 million budget.

Peele’s protagonist is black photographer, Chris Washington, who agrees to visit his white girlfriend Rose’s family (the Armitages) in an upstate suburb. While driving up to the house, there is a bit of foreshadowing of even stranger things to come, when Chris and Rose unexpectedly hit a deer and then have an unpleasant encounter with a state trooper where Rose can’t conceal her contempt for law enforcement in general.

Before even meeting the parents, Chris is unnerved by the almost zombie-like behavior of the black groundskeeper and housekeeper, Walter and Georgina. Rose’s parents, Dean, a neurosurgeon and Missy, a psychiatrist/hypnotist are depicted as white liberals, with Dean proudly telling Chris that he voted for Obama twice. Rose’s brother Jeremy is unable to control an ingrained hostility and has little to do except attack Chris later on when it becomes clear the entire family suffers from a malevolence usually associated with typical horror film tropes.

As for the plot, somehow Chris (due to losing his mother in a car accident when he was a kid) is susceptible to Missy’s hypnotic commands, sending him to “the sunken place” where he appears to not only lose consciousness but finds himself at the mercy of the creepy Missy. Soon a coterie of Armitage family friends show up at an annual get-together and it becomes clear that all these white folks are part of a conspiracy to subjugate black people through a series of actions that defy all logic.

For example, when Chris takes a picture of Logan, a recently kidnapped black man from NYC, the camera flash causes him to become hysterical and yell at Chris to “get out.” Quite conveniently, the flash isn’t enough to break Logan completely out of his fugue state nor is Chris able to simply walk away and call the police, as the mere tapping of a spoon on a tea cup, causes Chris to fall back under Missy’s spell.

Peele’s universe proves even more ridiculous when Rose is exposed as part of the family conspiracy to grab Chris and plant the brain of Jim Hudson, their older blind art dealer friend, into Chris’ head. Somehow, this time, Chris breaks free of the hypnotic command and is able to contact his TSA agent friend, Rod, in NYC, who all along suspected that there was something very sinister afoot with these “crazy” white people.

The wish fulfillment is on display when the stereotyped white liberals get their comeuppance at the hands of the noble Chris. Peele does a great disservice to true victims of racism by reducing the tormentors to a group of straw men and women who are easily set aside. In real life, of course, racism is a far more complicated affair and sometimes the victims turn out to be as bad as their oppressors.

Get Out marks a new low in race relations with Peele setting a poor example for impressionable youth. Instead of trying to mend fences, Peele is content to present African-Americans as perennial victims at the hands of stereotyped white tormentors. No race or ethnic group has a monopoly on benevolence despite Peele’s lame and misguided outlook to the contrary.

don’t understand the hype

This movie was OK, but I don’t get why lots of people think it’s one of the best horror films from the past few years. Plus I agree with those who say it has racism in it. It’s like the film is saying white people are bad and just want to take advantage of other races.

Anyways the film revolves around Chris, whom is invited by his girlfriend, Rose, to her parents house for the weekend and a party. At the house, Chris meets a couple of other black people whom seem to be off. At the party he takes a picture of one of them, and he flips out and tells Chris to “Get Out”.

Chris finds out the guy was someone from the neighborhood from his buddy Rod and that guy is missing. Chris realizes he needs to leave after finding a box of pictures of Rose with other black guys after she told him he was the first black guy she’s dated.

So the final is Chris escaping. That part was good.

FINAL VERDICT: It was OK but not the best horror film. I think people just praised it because it actually had a little uniqueness about it and not the same old thing.
