I love that the second watch through, when they got stopped by the cop after hitting the deer, her pushing back against Chris having to hand over his ID is *so* much more sinister. She just wanted to prevent any record of Chris being with her in the car, in her hometown. She wasn't defending him, she was covering for her own trifling ass. This movie is so well layered with allegory and the horror is so tense. This was a brilliant directorial debut for Peele! It's just so well written and executed perfectly.
It took me SO MANY rewatches to realize that part. Also the symbolism in the way she ate her fruit loops, didn't understand that bit until Allison Williams (Rose) literally spelled it out in an interview...I'm slow.
I saw this movie in theaters and have seen this multiple times on other streaming sites but I never made the connection that Rose had an ulterior motive for not wanting Chris to show the cop his ID. Very good observation!
One of the best ways to teach people about racism through an instant sort of epiphany, is: In almost every single horror movie, the cops showing up at the very end is a godsend and you gasp with relief cuz you know the good guys are going to be there to blast away the monster. With this one, you see those red and blue lights, your heart sinks.
The original ending, the best friend wasn’t the one who showed up and as you can assume. The scene at the end with a white cop would have ended very differently
As an admittedly white person, I agree. This movie REALLY opened my eyes to the experience of black Americans, and I say this as someone who always thought of myself as "woke" - especially that scene at the end. Because you're right - the audience assumption, IMMEDIATELY, is that he's going to get shot. And you start wondering why, in every other horror movie, the police are saviours but here, they're a source of dread. And then you realise exactly why that is. Most horror movies are told through a white lense. This movie's told through a black lense. It really demonstrates how deeply that lense affects every single aspect of how a person views life.
He murdered a bunch of people and was caught in the middle of killing a woman, and although it was self-defence, the explanation for it all would sound so insane that cops would never believe it. Plus the house containing all the evidence just burned down. Absolutely anyone would be fucked in that situation. That's why my heart sank.
@@CosmicAeon Not to say your take isn't valid, but Even with all the murders, in any other movie shown through a white lens, cops showing up is always a sign of relief (think final girls and how they are saved). Here, you just know that a black dude, murdering a bunch of RICH white "liberal" family and burning their house down, is definitely not going to go down well (robbery for one is an easy crime to pin on him). Think of all the innocent black ppl murdered by cops before even going through the criminal justice system. It's why the original comment is talking about racism. We move and experience the world differently depending on our perspective.
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Pretty sure that's behind-the-scenes info. Besides, since when do people transplant half a brain into someone else to control them? 😉
@@jondishmonmusicandstuff2753 Jordan Peele himself confirmed it and its not a far stretch since how many other movies have you seen where a black person picks and stuffs cotton in his ear to survive. this movie is packed with symbolism
The actress who played Rose was phenomenal, the way she just switched emotions on a dime was amazing then the phone call where she had the most deadpan stare and facial expression while simulating sounds of distress. She is amazing.
Can we all take a moment to apreciate how well organized this channel is. Everything is in their own files, with playlists. The sponsorship is marked on the progress bar. No silly catchline in the titles. Beautiful.
I remember being in the theater and everyone cheering when it was TSA/Rod and not the cops who showed up. Was really glad that deleted scene and explanation by Peele was included at the end of my rental, just gives me even more respect for his creative decisions. His understanding of how get out existed within the context of current events and knowing what tone he wanted to strike with the audience led to a story that was about more than black pain after being harassed and suffering violence, but also black joy, community and resilience. Chris being a martyr and highlighting the plight of black men unjustly incarcerated isn’t a bad ending but being Saved by his best friend was a welcome bit of relief/levity. Chris spent so much of the movie not trusting his instincts, but Rod did. Rod showed initiative and action, he showed up and I loved that he was there in the end.
The symbolism in this film is off the charts. One example in the end making earplugs from the seat cushion. So he literally had to pick cotton to survive. Or when the girl was eating the cereal.. she couldn't mix the milk with the cereal. Had to keep the colors separated from the white..
@@vicentegeonix I do agree with you in many circumstances however this movie is actually so well written, some circumstances might have been poignantly latent before you have to watch over again
@@halicarnassus8235 You can say that about every intelligent movie tho, and yeah i agree, I am just stating the fact that people find symbolism in EVERYTHING, even if you show them a picture of a rock, is kinda funny.
@Xander Merrick The deer at the beginning of the film. A 'buck' is a name for an adult male deer but also a post-Reconstruction era racial slur for a Black man that refused to bend to the law of white authority and was considered to be rude and/or violent. Many of the recent times police violence incidents have occurred during what should have been just routine traffic stops. The white characters argue and are completely unconcerned about the fact that a 'buck' is laying dying on the side of the road. The only person that cares at the time is Chris. In a moment of irony, to finally destroy the system of oppression being used against the Black characters, Chris uses a buck's head to kill Dean. Symbolism galore...
One note is both Rose and her Brother are the "finders". She uses emotional entrapment, and he straight up kidnaps his targets by force. Every part of this family is crazy evil.
@@Pilgrimetro considering they only wanted to be black bc they thought their was some difference between them an black ppl is exactly where the racism comes into play. For example the grandpa lost to Jesse Owens bc he wasn’t fast enough, not bc of his skin color.
When I saw this in theaters, when the police car door opened to reveal ”airport” written on the side and his friend stepped out, the entire theatre went crazy
Nikki’s reaction when Rod opened that squad car door at the end was the exact same as the entire audience I saw this with on opening week. Cheering while almost crying! This flick is timeless!!!
There's double meaning in the Dad's early dialogue. He's talking about his mother and says "we like to keep a little bit of her in the kitchen"... while Georgina is there in the kitchen. Then he says "We brought in Georgina and Walter to help care for my parents. When they died, we couldn't bear to let 'em go." The antecedent of " 'em " is more his parents than Georgina and Walter. But actually both. And of course how his dad "almost got over" being beat by Jesse Owens. (So now, in Walter's body, he can compete with Jesse Owens on a level playing field.)
That explains why he was sprinting at night in the yard, in that body he could have made it to the Olympics. I really need to watch this movie again to catch all the subtle details, it's so good
My favorite thing about this movie is this sort of theme of over-fascination of and basically fetishizing black people, talking about “physical advantages,” or “being cooler” It’s another, sinister side of racism that isn’t shown as outward hate, but a sick obsession And the “I want those things you see out of” I think is almost symbolic of people really wanting to fit in the black perspective and/or understand what being in a black body is like (to an extreme here), but really the best thing to do is to let real black people tell their stories and live their lives
Wait How is appreciating someone's gifts racism? If any person regardless of skin colour is naturally stronger/taller and you appreciate him for that, doesn't mean you are being racist. Get over yourself
"...but really the best thing to do is to let real black people tell their stories and live their lives" black people have been telling their stories. yet far too few white people have any empathy for the experiences that black people... have historically and in modern America... lived. Yet they can relate to and empathize with some random fantasy white person in LOTR (or any other fantasy movie) but not to real people because of their skin color and in no small part the negativity attributed to black people.
@@jellalfernandes1309 you don't understand the history of black ppl being described as animals in the descriptive of us, strong arms, legs etc, maybe if you learned some history you would understand. That's the problem, ppl don't understand the history of racism.
The whole theme of the movie is "there is no such thing as 'positive racism'." Even if the traits you're associating with a race are "positive" -- "stronger, faster, more athletic", "better in bed", etc. -- attributing someone's skills or personality to their physical body is dangerous bigotry and *it's fucked up.* The blind art collector is the ultimate parallel for that: he's blind, so you'd think he literally can't be racist. But still, rather than attribute Chris's skills as a photographer to his practice, effort, and dedication to the craft, he gives all the credit literally to his eyes, to the point where he thinks "if I had those eyes, I'd be as good a photographer". Just like the grandfather thought, "if I had that body, I'd be as good a sprinter", etc.
@@rumham7466 There are blind artists, and there are plenty of people with perfect eyesight who are terrible at art. Artistic skill has nothing to do with your eyeballs.
@@IceMetalPunk nope. just saying that certain physical attributes do increase performance in certain ways. if you are taller you will likely be better at basketball, if you have large hands you can lift more weight than if you had smaller hands, etc. if you had a bigger brain, you could understand things..for example
@@buycopperstocks3396 " if you had a bigger brain, you could understand things" -- that's not how brains work. In fact, that's not how muscles work (regarding hand size) either.
The importance of showing all of those awkward statements and questions was to put you as the viewer into the shoes of a black person. Showing all of those micro aggressions with the underlying racism that it carries. Jordan Peele is a master at his craft.
Fr and I thought the movie did a great job showing the other side of racism. It isn’t always in your face and super overt, when we think of racism we tend to think of people who use racial slurs and are potentially even violent towards a certain race. In this movie however, everyone’s so “nice” and unassuming, saying things like “is it better?” Referring to the stereotype of the genitals of black men, stereotypes about being faster or stronger, things that on one hand would seem almost complimentary but are still very racist in their own right. The blind guy is the perfect representation of this. He LITERALLY can’t see his skin color, and he himself says he couldn’t give a damn about his color, but he has no issue working with the people who DO to get what he wants, no issue taking place in an auction of another human being that is being held simply because of his skin color. He thinks he isn’t racist, only to take part in the very system that enforces it. Sorry for the rant lol, just something I noticed about this masterpiece.
Agree with the first sentence but omg white liberal beaches with their non sense miCrO aGgreSiOn are more annoying than racism for me as a non-white person
One detail i saw pointed out in another reaction: Everyone’s lobotomy scars are hidden by wigs (georgina) or hats (walter and andre) they are never seen without them on before the reveal
Lots of symbolism in this movie & things you pick up on upon repeat viewing. Also lots of things black people will notice & relate to before others will. When Steve said he had a lot of patience... it's because black people deal with these uncomfortable situations all the time so we've kind of learned to deal with it otherwise we'd always be running away but with that being said, I still would've left. The reason you see the "grounds keeper" running in the middle of the night is because remember when the dad said his father lost a race to a black man so now that he's in a black body he's taken advantage of the ability to run faster that he believes he has gained. Also, Chris being black & having to pick the cotton from the chair is symbolic. Black ppl picking cotton during slavery days. So much more...
Also the 'buck' symbolism. The fact that slaves were referred to as bucks and were auctioned off. The fact that the dad hates them and was subsequently killed by one both literally and symbolically. It's like getting a 2 for one when the dad is killed.
The one Asian guy who asks Chris if he's faced a lot of racism, because he wants to know if being black will be a step up or down from his own race. Rose convinces the cop at the start to let them go without a ticket, so there won't be a record that Chris was in the town just before he disappeared.
It was good but I couldn’t stop thinking it was essentially a reverse rip off of the Skeleton Key … but instead of black people stealing white bodies it was white people stealing black bodies. Surprised this isn’t brought up more
This was his great work for the cost of production. I think Nope is his most well made film. His next movie needs to merge his excellent filmmaking with an excellent script. Hes almost there.
I loved how almost playful this movie is with letting you know something is wrong from the start - it's encouraging you to try and figure it out in a really captivating way
This movie touches on so many “get out” situations that I have experienced as a black woman. Like when he finds the photos of her with different black people. Are they specifically trying to only hang out with/date a black person? Is there a pattern? Get out. Do they keep mentioning Obama or black icons out of nowhere to subtly convey they aren’t racist? Get out. Are they using aave only when they speak to a black person? (“This…thang”) Get out. Are you the only black person at a party? Are they making comments about your physique, skin, ethnicity…? Get the hell out lol
What's wrong with being the only black person at a party? Lol my boyfriend's best friend is black and he's the only black guy at almost any party/event we have (though not everyone is white) and he's never had an issue with it
It’s something that can’t be explained unless you’ve been the only black person at a party/event/in a room etc. He has feelings about it. GUARANTEED. He may never convey them but he has them.
@@TheNamelessFilm exactly. I love non-black people explaining the black experience by proxy. It goes to show how disconnected they are from empathizing. People like that start pushing a specific black person in their life to center stage whenever they want to play devil’s advocate.
I love that Jordan is no longer 'that guy from Key and Peele skits' but has mastered himself into one of the best modern day horror film directors out there. That man knows how to tell a good damn story.
"The trigger for Chris’ hypnosis was the tapping of a teaspoon on a tea cup, a very subtle means to a horrific end. Often times acts of racism are very subtle, and there is a feeling of paranoia when you notice them, and even more so if you call them out. However, you know what it is when you see it." "The sunken place is similar to the actual paralyzing state of being when you are unable to defend yourself against racism in certain settings like the workplace. The hypnosis is a satirical/extreme example of the psychology associated with enduring racism of all kinds. You are aware that it is happening, but the need to keep your job, or not go to jail prevents you from being able to react." - from Jessica Wilkins’ brilliant summary of this film
"Why is everyone being so fucking WEIRD?!" I love to see people reacting this way bc every single one of the uncomfortable microagressions Chris faces are things that black people deal with ALL OF THE TIME in day to day life in places where they're the minority. Yes, it's fucking weird and that's what we've been trying to say forever.
Yes, amazing way of portraying how people of color continually try to accommodate just to get by in society, way past the point where white people would nope right out.
And that's why Jordan Peele won and deserved his Oscar!!! And this movie was a masterpiece!! I even loved his TV show, Key & Peele, they had amazing sketches on their show you can see where their creativity originates.
"Something feels off" "I'm really sketched out right now" Welcome to Jordan Peele movies 😂 It's crazy rewatching this and now understanding how all of their behavior makes so much more sense... The reason she didn't want the officer to ID him in the beginning isn't because she was protecting him but because he was about to go missing and that would leave a trail.
Rods comedic effect was actually perfect for this movie because we as black people often have to laugh to keep from crying in this world. So that was a subliminal reminder of us .
I am a huge fan of Jordan Peele's work, I'm also a huge history nerd, he's a master of subliminal messages and storytelling. Theres always a little truth hidden between the lines.
I love how detailed this movie is. There are layers upon layers of symbolism and if you rewatch, you'll catch even the most subtle details that foreshadow/hint at the family's true intentions. One of my favorite examples is when the dad mentions that there is "black mold" in the basement. At first glance, the line is seen as nothing except a conversation filler, but after rewatching, you realize it has a quite literal translation (the basement is where the family kept their victims before the brain transplant, and the victims are not only black, but they closely resemble a "mold" or body for the highest bidder; hence, "black mold.")
I love Nikki and Steven’s reactions😀. I thought you all saw Get Out already and the looks on your faces during the reaction was priceless. Daniel Kaluuya is fantastic and was nominated for an Oscar for Get Out. He did receive an Oscar for another movie (Judas and the Black Messiah).
Saw this in the theater. When she dropped the "my dad would've voted for Obama a third time if he could" line, all the white people cheered and the rest of us laughed. That pretty much sums up the movie.
@@b_delta9725 .....so we are lying, WHERE DID YOU SEE IT, FUNNY YOU FELT THE NEED TO DEFEND AGAINST THEIR EXPERIENCE, 🤔 THINK ABOUT THAT HUN. THEY WEREN'T TALKING TO YOU, OR WERE THEY.... ONLY HIT DOGS BARK.👈🏾💯💅🏾
@@incontrol5848 because its weird people need to lie just to downplay other people. nobody watches this movie and doesn't get the line, and even if you don't get it, you don't cheer.
Fun fact that not many people know about Get Out, Jordan Peele went through more than 200 drafts of Get Out before deciding on a final script and even so, much of the dialogue wound up improvised. In particular, Lil Rel Howery, who played Rod, ad-libbed most of his jokes. 26. The film originally had a much darker, alternative ending.
@@Chriswallace0405 So then what do you propose as a good alternative for when people want to drop trivia about a piece of media that people are fully experiencing for the first time?
Great reaction! This movie goes deep. You have to watch it a couple of times to catch everything. The grandfather was in Walter’s body-remember the dad spoke about Jesse Owens beating him and the grandfather never getting over it. That’s why he ran towards Daniel so fast. The grandmother was in the maid’s body. The guy who “bought” Daniel was an artist who went blind, and Daniel is a photographer-he needed his eyes/vision. And then the symbolism with Daniel picking the cotton from the chair to put in his ear. There is so much! Such a great film!
When I saw Get Out for the first time I didn't believe what I saw, it is indeed a film deserving of the Oscar for best original screenplay. I came out of this stunned experience with so many layers and so much natural horror mixed with fiction, discomfort and suspense. Racism is even more horrendous than any supernatural nuance. Jordan Peele has become a reference in the horror business that manages to bring comic relief and make a mark without harming the horror. Kaluuya's performance is spectacular.
This is one of those movies that’s fun to watch twice. You see a lot of stuff rewatching that makes so much sense. The comment about the “black mold” in the basement. The fact that rose didn’t want the police officer to get his ID because she didn’t want a paper trail. It’s so good.
Your expressions during this movie had me cracking up. I understand you were trying to figure out what was going on, but you guys were so funny and right in thinking something wasn't quite right about the family. This movie was a trip.
Love your reaction to this film! I saw it in a theater when it came out and the audience was squirming the whole time, especially during the 'Party' scene. The film 'Us' also has some dark humor. My daughter and I saw 'Nope' recently and we both really liked it. Daniel's in that film too but Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun's (Greg from Walking Dead) acting is also amazing.
In the scene where Rose stops the cop from seeing Chris’s ID she is not doing it to stop Chris from being racially profiled, she just doesn’t want the cop to remember Chris’s name or set a trail if he goes missing. She wasn't protecting him. It was also her trying to hammer home how "not racist" she was.
One of the most subtle and brilliant moments in this movie was when Chris first met the black maid in the kitchen. Mr. Armitage was talking about his mom's cooking and said "We keep a piece of her (my mom) in here", which was a double entendre since the black maid belonged to the mom's family, but also the mom is still inside the maid's body! So they literally kept a piece of her!
I remember a couple of personalities say this movie was overrated and I could never understand how anyone thought this was that. The acting, storytelling and imagery is perfection. I loved seeing yall go from confused to totally getting what the core of the movie was about by the end. An all timer for real
Film does a fantastic job portraying "positive racism" where rather than it being a slur, it talks about how black people and their traits are to be desired, even sought after. Very important lesson in life is that not all racism is negative, but it is still racism and not acceptable. Unfortunately people in minority groups still fall prey so such fetishisation when people select them for partners, because of baseless stereotypes in the form of positive racism or to tick some sort of box which is quite frankly disgusting. Indeed people in minority groups amongst the other issues that plague the dating scene that we all deal with have to traverse an extra rediculous minefield; trying to make sure that the person actually likes them for them, and not because they are are chinese or black etc. Another thing the movie does brilliantly is the ending and I'm glad this is the one they landed on compared to the opposite considered ending. That genuine feeling of dread when the police turn up and you think oh god is such fantastic political commentary on current societal issues that have plagued a significant portion of the world stage for decades with no true end in sight. I would love to live in a world where your nationality doesn't affect how you are treated but unfortunately, humans are nothing if not fallable so issues including racism, greed, and corruption will always exist. Jordan Peele is a true master of his craft and I believe he will stand amongst the greats the longer his career progresses.
I went back and watched this one after i checked out NOPE. Gotta say, Jordon has some great imagination and how he puts it all together is amazing. Great choice of actors and I really got a kick noticing the main character was the same in both movies. He has some talent from two very different scripts. This movie was a trip the whole time. I used to have a dream running down a never ending hallway and the scenes where he was falling brought me flashbacks. Thanks Mr. Peele.
One of my top 5 movies of all time! Also Steven when you wondered why the garden guy was hugging all the guests, now it makes sense knowing that they are all his old friends, since he is the grandpa and they know!
I would love to see you guys react to more classic Horror films… "Psycho", "The Shining", "The Exorcist", "Alien", "Jaws", "The Silence of the Lambs", "Halloween", "Rosemary's Baby", "Carrie", "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "The Lost Boys", "Suspiria", "The Omen", "Misery", "The Thing", "Poltergeist", "The Birds", "Don't Look Now", "Body Double", "Dressed to Kill", "Black Christmas", "The Fly", "Se7en" 🎥🔪
The coolest part for me as this was my second time seeing this material, was watching the part where Rose tells the cop he doesn't need to see Chris's ID and that was like a hero moment on first watch as she is protecting his rights while in reality she's saving her and her own family's ass by not having Chris's last known whereabouts be in that area and with her.
The dude running out at the camera in the dark is still one of the most haunting scenes for me. I can't explain the level of unexplained fear those few seconds are to me; must be some psychosomatic thing.
yall should 100% check out "The black phone" it was a great movie, one of my favorite horror/thriller movie!!! i would love to see y'all's reaction to it.
They perfectly emulate the feeling you have when you are the only black person around with how weird the family acts. And he’s so chill because he is used to dealing with that uncomfortable feeling.
Daniel Kaluuya is a gifted actor. I saw him in Judas and the Black Messsiah also and he won an Oscar for that. And now is NOPE, a new Jordan’s Peele movie ☺️
One of my favorite scenes from this movie is when the girlfriend is eating cereal and milk and keeping the colored cereal separated from the white milk. I caught that reference in the movie theater when I first watched and everyone thought I was reading too much into it and then the actress who played the girlfriend confirmed it on a talk show and I was like yep! I knew I was right! Lol
@@bellalegendre2644 NOPE is good and definitely worth the watch. I will say though it's not on the level of this, I think this is peak Jordan Peele imo.
At first this film had another ending, much sadder. Eventually, they change it after test projections. But you can find it easily on UA-cam. This film was a crasy experience, Jordan Peele is a genius. The actors are really good too, Rose and Chris are amazing.
The scene at 26:13 was kinda foreshadowing something bad. The guy yelling at him “get out” wasn’t cause he was mad that his picture was taken. He was literally telling him to get out of this place tryna save his life. This movie plays it off so well as if it’s one thing but in reality there’s a deeper meaning. Great movie 10/10 for sure.
I'm so happy you liked this one. I think it is a masterpiece. Also, I think Rose wouldn't let the cop see Chis' ID because later in her plan when he's reported missing, there would be a record of him there.
Y'know, sometimes I just want to give you both a great big hug! I saw this twice in the theatres, and you could feel how the audience felt by the end. Jordan Peele is a genius, and you are both at the start of a very freaky ride... Good luck!
This movie is so upsetting because there’s no going back for these poor victims. There’s no rescuing the man or woman who were “taken over” by Grandpa and Grandma. No one can save, or bring back, Andre. Their own brains are basically gone. Damn. And what happens now to Chris? In the original ending he ends up in prison. In reality, it would be hard for him to come away from all of this without being arrested. Depressing and so disturbing. Jordan Peele is just amazing.
The music is so good too. Michael Abels, who did the score for the movie is half-black. Dude knows how to make music not only scary when they need to be but also knows how to make tunes catchy and upbeat. He's currently one of my favorite movie composers and I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll do next in the near future. You guys should check out US next.
Loved your discovery of the many layers in the film. Did you get the irony of Chris having to "pick cotton" out of the chair to escape? Peele's a genius. Can't wait to see your reactions of Us and Nope!
the symbolism and subliminal messages in Peeles films are AMAZING, rewatching his movies are like watching it for the first time every time because you see or realize something new every time
This is one of those movies that gets better the more you see it because of the details sprinkiled throughout. The reaction to the end was great esp when you consider there was an alternate, darker ending that they filmed some of. If you haven't already, I'd watch Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and the Black Messiah. It's a different type of movie compared to Get Out but his acting is amazing.
Heck yeah!! Sponsorship! This is the only channel I’m excited about sponsorships for. Birthday is coming up and I might have to spoil myself with Scentbird. Congrats on the Sponsorship!
That moment where the audience understands that the cop will not believe Chris and are happy when its his friend. He did a great job of mirroring real life.
There is no thing as an "innocent cop" when anyone watching seeing a cop coming thinks, "He's still not safe because they're not gonna believe the black guy".
@ErectileKid Picked that profession. And no, this isn't my opinion, it's literally Jordan Peele's opinion: "In the original ending, Chris is arrested by the police after strangling Rose. Instead of rescuing Chris, Rod meets him in jail and asks him for information about the Armitage family to investigate, but Chris insists that he stopped them and everything is fine. Peele intended this ending to reflect the realities of racism. By the time production had begun, however, several high-profile police shootings of black people had made discussion, in Peele's words, "more woke". After gauging reception at test screenings, he decided the film needed a happy ending, but felt a moment when the audience believes Chris is about to be arrested would preserve the intended reaction" That's literally how he wrote it. It just being a cop the audience already knows "he lost, he's in trouble" and THAT fact is enough to show the state in where the public view of police are. We don't see the police and think, "yay he's saved!". But since when it was being released he felt enough of a message was going around about that he changed it to a bit more subtle. Gone are the times when a cop shows up in a show and we think, "Phew!". It's usually, "Oh no...". Any game, movie, tv show, police show up, it's a bad sign. The Quarry game that just came up. Stopped by a cop? "Shoot... they're in trouble...". Movie where a girl is in the woods and a cop sees her and pulls up? We're like, "Oh crap I hope she can get away". There's basically no feeling of safety when the lights are on in a movie anymore. It's fear of "I hope this isn't one of the crazy ones".
what’s also crazy about this film is that peele had actually shot and intended for a much darker ending to the movie where it is an actual cop at the end of the film and chris gets arrested.
Great reaction. Get Out is probably one of the best, wildest movies to come out within the past ten years. Who ever would of thought that Jordan Peele, the stand-up/sketch comedy guy, could completely disturb and creep you out with "what-if" horror/suspense style story telling? lol!

She just wanted to prevent any record of Chris being with her in the car, in her hometown. She wasn't defending him, she was covering for her own trifling ass.
This movie is so well layered with allegory and the horror is so tense. This was a brilliant directorial debut for Peele! It's just so well written and executed perfectly.

One of the best ways to teach people about racism through an instant sort of epiphany, is:
In almost every single horror movie, the cops showing up at the very end is a godsend and you gasp with relief cuz you know the good guys are going to be there to blast away the monster. With this one, you see those red and blue lights, your heart sinks.

As an admittedly white person, I agree. This movie REALLY opened my eyes to the experience of black Americans, and I say this as someone who always thought of myself as "woke" - especially that scene at the end. Because you're right - the audience assumption, IMMEDIATELY, is that he's going to get shot. And you start wondering why, in every other horror movie, the police are saviours but here, they're a source of dread.
And then you realise exactly why that is. Most horror movies are told through a white lense. This movie's told through a black lense. It really demonstrates how deeply that lense affects every single aspect of how a person views life.
oh shit I never thought of this!!!!
He murdered a bunch of people and was caught in the middle of killing a woman, and although it was self-defence, the explanation for it all would sound so insane that cops would never believe it. Plus the house containing all the evidence just burned down. Absolutely anyone would be fucked in that situation. That's why my heart sank.
@@CosmicAeon
Not to say your take isn't valid, but Even with all the murders, in any other movie shown through a white lens, cops showing up is always a sign of relief (think final girls and how they are saved).
Here, you just know that a black dude, murdering a bunch of RICH white "liberal" family and burning their house down, is definitely not going to go down well (robbery for one is an easy crime to pin on him).
Think of all the innocent black ppl murdered by cops before even going through the criminal justice system.
It's why the original comment is talking about racism.
We move and experience the world differently depending on our perspective.
When Daniel Kaluya's broke free from his chair, he literally had to pick cotton to survive. This movie is packed with references.

Facts
@@Daylin821, did you lash out at one comment because it was a struggle for you to read?
I remember being in the theater and everyone cheering when it was TSA/Rod and not the cops who showed up. Was really glad that deleted scene and explanation by Peele was included at the end of my rental, just gives me even more respect for his creative decisions. His understanding of how get out existed within the context of current events and knowing what tone he wanted to strike with the audience led to a story that was about more than black pain after being harassed and suffering violence, but also black joy, community and resilience. Chris being a martyr and highlighting the plight of black men unjustly incarcerated isn’t a bad ending but being Saved by his best friend was a welcome bit of relief/levity. Chris spent so much of the movie not trusting his instincts, but Rod did. Rod showed initiative and action, he showed up and I loved that he was there in the end.
Jesus do you have a life?
@@thescareboy - Well, Jesus was killed and then was resurrected after 3 days then ascended. So.... no, but yes, depending on your perspective.
Not going to lie. Part of me really would’ve preferred the original ending. Although I do get how brutal that would’ve felt to the audience.
@@KingstonHawke there's an alternate ending?
@@a_2502 yeah there’s an ending where chris actually gets arrested by the cops and ends up in jail
The symbolism in this film is off the charts. One example in the end making earplugs from the seat cushion. So he literally had to pick cotton to survive. Or when the girl was eating the cereal.. she couldn't mix the milk with the cereal. Had to keep the colors separated from the white..
@@rumham7466 Yeah haha people sure as hell can find symbolism in everything.
@@vicentegeonix I do agree with you in many circumstances however this movie is actually so well written, some circumstances might have been poignantly latent before you have to watch over again
@@halicarnassus8235 You can say that about every intelligent movie tho, and yeah i agree, I am just stating the fact that people find symbolism in EVERYTHING, even if you show them a picture of a rock, is kinda funny.
All of the white people who come over to bid on Chris arrive in black cars. They’re white people living in black body’s - what they’re all there for
@Xander Merrick The deer at the beginning of the film. A 'buck' is a name for an adult male deer but also a post-Reconstruction era racial slur for a Black man that refused to bend to the law of white authority and was considered to be rude and/or violent. Many of the recent times police violence incidents have occurred during what should have been just routine traffic stops. The white characters argue and are completely unconcerned about the fact that a 'buck' is laying dying on the side of the road. The only person that cares at the time is Chris. In a moment of irony, to finally destroy the system of oppression being used against the Black characters, Chris uses a buck's head to kill Dean. Symbolism galore...
Almost fell out of my chair when Steven said, "F*** your tea"🤣
One note is both Rose and her Brother are the "finders". She uses emotional entrapment, and he straight up kidnaps his targets by force. Every part of this family is crazy evil.
And racist
@@stephaniemondestin6070 nah, they actually wanted to be black people, seems like the opposite of racism to me
@@Pilgrimetro they are racist actually, cause they see black people as object, as something they can own and do as they desire
@@Pilgrimetro you sound ignorant
@@Pilgrimetro considering they only wanted to be black bc they thought their was some difference between them an black ppl is exactly where the racism comes into play. For example the grandpa lost to Jesse Owens bc he wasn’t fast enough, not bc of his skin color.
When I saw this in theaters, when the police car door opened to reveal ”airport” written on the side and his friend stepped out, the entire theatre went crazy
Nikki’s reaction when Rod opened that squad car door at the end was the exact same as the entire audience I saw this with on opening week. Cheering while almost crying! This flick is timeless!!!
There's double meaning in the Dad's early dialogue. He's talking about his mother and says "we like to keep a little bit of her in the kitchen"... while Georgina is there in the kitchen. Then he says "We brought in Georgina and Walter to help care for my parents. When they died, we couldn't bear to let 'em go." The antecedent of " 'em " is more his parents than Georgina and Walter. But actually both. And of course how his dad "almost got over" being beat by Jesse Owens. (So now, in Walter's body, he can compete with Jesse Owens on a level playing field.)
That explains why he was sprinting at night in the yard, in that body he could have made it to the Olympics. I really need to watch this movie again to catch all the subtle details, it's so good
My favorite thing about this movie is this sort of theme of over-fascination of and basically fetishizing black people, talking about “physical advantages,” or “being cooler”
It’s another, sinister side of racism that isn’t shown as outward hate, but a sick obsession
And the “I want those things you see out of” I think is almost symbolic of people really wanting to fit in the black perspective and/or understand what being in a black body is like (to an extreme here), but really the best thing to do is to let real black people tell their stories and live their lives
Well said
That last sentence is all we want.
Wait
How is appreciating someone's gifts racism?
If any person regardless of skin colour is naturally stronger/taller and you appreciate him for that, doesn't mean you are being racist.
Get over yourself
"...but really the best thing to do is to let real black people tell their stories and live their lives" black people have been telling their stories. yet far too few white people have any empathy for the experiences that black people... have historically and in modern America... lived. Yet they can relate to and empathize with some random fantasy white person in LOTR (or any other fantasy movie) but not to real people because of their skin color and in no small part the negativity attributed to black people.
@@jellalfernandes1309 you don't understand the history of black ppl being described as animals in the descriptive of us, strong arms, legs etc, maybe if you learned some history you would understand. That's the problem, ppl don't understand the history of racism.
The whole theme of the movie is "there is no such thing as 'positive racism'." Even if the traits you're associating with a race are "positive" -- "stronger, faster, more athletic", "better in bed", etc. -- attributing someone's skills or personality to their physical body is dangerous bigotry and *it's fucked up.* The blind art collector is the ultimate parallel for that: he's blind, so you'd think he literally can't be racist. But still, rather than attribute Chris's skills as a photographer to his practice, effort, and dedication to the craft, he gives all the credit literally to his eyes, to the point where he thinks "if I had those eyes, I'd be as good a photographer". Just like the grandfather thought, "if I had that body, I'd be as good a sprinter", etc.
i mean, if i was 7 feet tall I definitely COULD dunk easier
@@buycopperstocks3396 Are you implying that someone's race determines their height?
@@rumham7466 There are blind artists, and there are plenty of people with perfect eyesight who are terrible at art. Artistic skill has nothing to do with your eyeballs.
@@IceMetalPunk nope. just saying that certain physical attributes do increase performance in certain ways. if you are taller you will likely be better at basketball, if you have large hands you can lift more weight than if you had smaller hands, etc. if you had a bigger brain, you could understand things..for example
@@buycopperstocks3396 " if you had a bigger brain, you could understand things" -- that's not how brains work. In fact, that's not how muscles work (regarding hand size) either.
The importance of showing all of those awkward statements and questions was to put you as the viewer into the shoes of a black person. Showing all of those micro aggressions with the underlying racism that it carries. Jordan Peele is a master at his craft.
lmao
Fr and I thought the movie did a great job showing the other side of racism. It isn’t always in your face and super overt, when we think of racism we tend to think of people who use racial slurs and are potentially even violent towards a certain race. In this movie however, everyone’s so “nice” and unassuming, saying things like “is it better?” Referring to the stereotype of the genitals of black men, stereotypes about being faster or stronger, things that on one hand would seem almost complimentary but are still very racist in their own right.
The blind guy is the perfect representation of this. He LITERALLY can’t see his skin color, and he himself says he couldn’t give a damn about his color, but he has no issue working with the people who DO to get what he wants, no issue taking place in an auction of another human being that is being held simply because of his skin color. He thinks he isn’t racist, only to take part in the very system that enforces it.
Sorry for the rant lol, just something I noticed about this masterpiece.
Agreed
Agree with the first sentence but omg white liberal beaches with their non sense miCrO aGgreSiOn are more annoying than racism for me as a non-white person
One detail i saw pointed out in another reaction:
Everyone’s lobotomy scars are hidden by wigs (georgina) or hats (walter and andre) they are never seen without them on before the reveal
😮
Lots of symbolism in this movie & things you pick up on upon repeat viewing. Also lots of things black people will notice & relate to before others will. When Steve said he had a lot of patience... it's because black people deal with these uncomfortable situations all the time so we've kind of learned to deal with it otherwise we'd always be running away but with that being said, I still would've left. The reason you see the "grounds keeper" running in the middle of the night is because remember when the dad said his father lost a race to a black man so now that he's in a black body he's taken advantage of the ability to run faster that he believes he has gained. Also, Chris being black & having to pick the cotton from the chair is symbolic. Black ppl picking cotton during slavery days. So much more...
And the white auction-goers arriving in black vehicles
@@incompletesentience YES! I always point that one out to people because it’s GENIUS
Also the 'buck' symbolism. The fact that slaves were referred to as bucks and were auctioned off. The fact that the dad hates them and was subsequently killed by one both literally and symbolically. It's like getting a 2 for one when the dad is killed.
The one Asian guy who asks Chris if he's faced a lot of racism, because he wants to know if being black will be a step up or down from his own race.
Rose convinces the cop at the start to let them go without a ticket, so there won't be a record that Chris was in the town just before he disappeared.
Thank you for saying this! Black people really do deal with the kind of behavior towards us exhibited in this film in real life.
This was definitely Jordan Peele's best work, the way it was made was just perfect
It was good but I couldn’t stop thinking it was essentially a reverse rip off of the Skeleton Key … but instead of black people stealing white bodies it was white people stealing black bodies.
Surprised this isn’t brought up more
The build up was better than the ending
I agree I also enjoyed Us but Nope is so bad though
This was his great work for the cost of production. I think Nope is his most well made film. His next movie needs to merge his excellent filmmaking with an excellent script. Hes almost there.
I'd argue Nope is even better, but Get Out is very very close. Both feel like they will be seen as "classics" decades from now.
I loved how almost playful this movie is with letting you know something is wrong from the start - it's encouraging you to try and figure it out in a really captivating way
This movie touches on so many “get out” situations that I have experienced as a black woman.
Like when he finds the photos of her with different black people. Are they specifically trying to only hang out with/date a black person? Is there a pattern? Get out.
Do they keep mentioning Obama or black icons out of nowhere to subtly convey they aren’t racist? Get out.
Are they using aave only when they speak to a black person? (“This…thang”) Get out.
Are you the only black person at a party? Are they making comments about your physique, skin, ethnicity…? Get the hell out lol
What's wrong with being the only black person at a party? Lol my boyfriend's best friend is black and he's the only black guy at almost any party/event we have (though not everyone is white) and he's never had an issue with it
It’s something that can’t be explained unless you’ve been the only black person at a party/event/in a room etc.
He has feelings about it. GUARANTEED. He may never convey them but he has them.
@@jessicamacaulay7462 ……….huh
@@TheNamelessFilm exactly. I love non-black people explaining the black experience by proxy. It goes to show how disconnected they are from empathizing. People like that start pushing a specific black person in their life to center stage whenever they want to play devil’s advocate.
@@goeienacht ... what are you confused on? I'm legitimately wondering what's wrong with it
Seeing a blind reaction to this movie is so fun haha!
Peele earned that Oscar.
I love that Jordan is no longer 'that guy from Key and Peele skits' but has mastered himself into one of the best modern day horror film directors out there. That man knows how to tell a good damn story.
"The trigger for Chris’ hypnosis was the tapping of a teaspoon on a tea cup, a very subtle means to a horrific end. Often times acts of racism are very subtle, and there is a feeling of paranoia when you notice them, and even more so if you call them out. However, you know what it is when you see it."
"The sunken place is similar to the actual paralyzing state of being when you are unable to defend yourself against racism in certain settings like the workplace. The hypnosis is a satirical/extreme example of the psychology associated with enduring racism of all kinds. You are aware that it is happening, but the need to keep your job, or not go to jail prevents you from being able to react."
- from Jessica Wilkins’ brilliant summary of this film
Even more respect to Daniel Kaluya - he's actually British. He does a great American accent.
Correction - his name is spelt Kaluuya.
"Why is everyone being so fucking WEIRD?!"
I love to see people reacting this way bc every single one of the uncomfortable microagressions Chris faces are things that black people deal with ALL OF THE TIME in day to day life in places where they're the minority. Yes, it's fucking weird and that's what we've been trying to say forever.
Yes, amazing way of portraying how people of color continually try to accommodate just to get by in society, way past the point where white people would nope right out.
lmao. classic victim mentality
You're not black...
Exactly.
@@jessicamacaulay7462 she looks quite obviously mixed race
And that's why Jordan Peele won and deserved his Oscar!!! And this movie was a masterpiece!! I even loved his TV show, Key & Peele, they had amazing sketches on their show you can see where their creativity originates.
It's always great seeing people react to Get Out because their faces as they slowly piece everything together is priceless!
The audible stirring of the tea was the hypnotism. They also keep unplugging his phone so his phone would die and he couldn't call for help.
Nikki: "I have to look into Dahmer now."
Me: "NO. PLEASE DON'T."
"Something feels off"
"I'm really sketched out right now"
Welcome to Jordan Peele movies 😂
It's crazy rewatching this and now understanding how all of their behavior makes so much more sense...
The reason she didn't want the officer to ID him in the beginning isn't because she was protecting him but because he was about to go missing and that would leave a trail.
Rods comedic effect was actually perfect for this movie because we as black people often have to laugh to keep from crying in this world. So that was a subliminal reminder of us .
I am a huge fan of Jordan Peele's work, I'm also a huge history nerd, he's a master of subliminal messages and storytelling. Theres always a little truth hidden between the lines.
i stated the most i can remember for now lol
I love how detailed this movie is. There are layers upon layers of symbolism and if you rewatch, you'll catch even the most subtle details that foreshadow/hint at the family's true intentions. One of my favorite examples is when the dad mentions that there is "black mold" in the basement. At first glance, the line is seen as nothing except a conversation filler, but after rewatching, you realize it has a quite literal translation (the basement is where the family kept their victims before the brain transplant, and the victims are not only black, but they closely resemble a "mold" or body for the highest bidder; hence, "black mold.")
I love Nikki and Steven’s reactions😀. I thought you all saw Get Out already and the looks on your faces during the reaction was priceless. Daniel Kaluuya is fantastic and was nominated for an Oscar for Get Out. He did receive an Oscar for another movie (Judas and the Black Messiah).
I also recommend checking out Jordan Peele's second movie, 'Us'. Its a different kind of horror movie but one I still really enjoy.
It's better than this one.
I think they will
@@RestlessTome I personally rank Get Out above Us. But that's not saying Us is a bad film.
I just watched nope, this man Peele can't be stopped
It's rife with plot holes, but I was so entertained that I just let it go.
Saw this in the theater. When she dropped the "my dad would've voted for Obama a third time if he could" line, all the white people cheered and the rest of us laughed. That pretty much sums up the movie.
What theater is that lmao, I saw it in three different theaters and everyone laughed sarcastically. Like who would cheer with that line?

Fun fact that not many people know about Get Out, Jordan Peele went through more than 200 drafts of Get Out before deciding on a final script and even so, much of the dialogue wound up improvised. In particular, Lil Rel Howery, who played Rod, ad-libbed most of his jokes. 26. The film originally had a much darker, alternative ending.

Great reaction! This movie goes deep. You have to watch it a couple of times to catch everything. The grandfather was in Walter’s body-remember the dad spoke about Jesse Owens beating him and the grandfather never getting over it. That’s why he ran towards Daniel so fast. The grandmother was in the maid’s body. The guy who “bought” Daniel was an artist who went blind, and Daniel is a photographer-he needed his eyes/vision. And then the symbolism with Daniel picking the cotton from the chair to put in his ear. There is so much! Such a great film!
You guys would love Ready or Not (2019) if you have not seen it yet. The lead actress is Samara Weaving, Hugo Weaving's niece.
When I saw Get Out for the first time I didn't believe what I saw, it is indeed a film deserving of the Oscar for best original screenplay. I came out of this stunned experience with so many layers and so much natural horror mixed with fiction, discomfort and suspense. Racism is even more horrendous than any supernatural nuance. Jordan Peele has become a reference in the horror business that manages to bring comic relief and make a mark without harming the horror. Kaluuya's performance is spectacular.
You are kidding right? An Oscar for this racist garbage?
This is one of those movies that’s fun to watch twice. You see a lot of stuff rewatching that makes so much sense. The comment about the “black mold” in the basement. The fact that rose didn’t want the police officer to get his ID because she didn’t want a paper trail. It’s so good.
Your expressions during this movie had me cracking up. I understand you were trying to figure out what was going on, but you guys were so funny and right in thinking something wasn't quite right about the family. This movie was a trip.
That was the entire reaction.... The two of them exclaiming, "What is happening/going on/the fuck?" on a loop..
Love your reaction to this film! I saw it in a theater when it came out and the audience was squirming the whole time, especially during the 'Party' scene. The film 'Us' also has some dark humor. My daughter and I saw 'Nope' recently and we both really liked it. Daniel's in that film too but Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun's (Greg from Walking Dead) acting is also amazing.
@@Chriswallace0405 I'm Greg, thanks for asking
I love this film. It conveys awkward, uncomfortable moments that black folks have DAILY. It’s so genius. That and Daniel K is gawd status lolol
In the scene where Rose stops the cop from seeing Chris’s ID she is not doing it to stop Chris from being racially profiled, she just doesn’t want the cop to remember Chris’s name or set a trail if he goes missing. She wasn't protecting him. It was also her trying to hammer home how "not racist" she was.
This is a movie that gains INSANE levels of awesome on a rewatch. Jordan Peele is on Hitchcock's plane of filmmaking.
The way the girlfriend talked to his friend with no emotion on her face like she was a complete psycho
One of the most subtle and brilliant moments in this movie was when Chris first met the black maid in the kitchen. Mr. Armitage was talking about his mom's cooking and said "We keep a piece of her (my mom) in here", which was a double entendre since the black maid belonged to the mom's family, but also the mom is still inside the maid's body! So they literally kept a piece of her!
I love watching first-timers react to this movie! It’s like 45 minutes of confusion and then all the sudden it clicks and it’s like OMFG
I remember a couple of personalities say this movie was overrated and I could never understand how anyone thought this was that. The acting, storytelling and imagery is perfection. I loved seeing yall go from confused to totally getting what the core of the movie was about by the end. An all timer for real
The cop from the beginning wasn't in on it. That's why Rose didn't let him run Chris's ID. It would have created a paper trail.
The fact that the dad went on to be a commander in Handmaid’s Tale just sends me… he’s a great villain
The replay value with this film is absolutely crazy.. this is truly a genius film..
Film does a fantastic job portraying "positive racism" where rather than it being a slur, it talks about how black people and their traits are to be desired, even sought after. Very important lesson in life is that not all racism is negative, but it is still racism and not acceptable. Unfortunately people in minority groups still fall prey so such fetishisation when people select them for partners, because of baseless stereotypes in the form of positive racism or to tick some sort of box which is quite frankly disgusting. Indeed people in minority groups amongst the other issues that plague the dating scene that we all deal with have to traverse an extra rediculous minefield; trying to make sure that the person actually likes them for them, and not because they are are chinese or black etc. Another thing the movie does brilliantly is the ending and I'm glad this is the one they landed on compared to the opposite considered ending. That genuine feeling of dread when the police turn up and you think oh god is such fantastic political commentary on current societal issues that have plagued a significant portion of the world stage for decades with no true end in sight. I would love to live in a world where your nationality doesn't affect how you are treated but unfortunately, humans are nothing if not fallable so issues including racism, greed, and corruption will always exist. Jordan Peele is a true master of his craft and I believe he will stand amongst the greats the longer his career progresses.
Dude I think you should do some research there's no such thing as positive racism that's not the term for it are you a positive racist?
I went back and watched this one after i checked out NOPE. Gotta say, Jordon has some great imagination and how he puts it all together is amazing. Great choice of actors and I really got a kick noticing the main character was the same in both movies. He has some talent from two very different scripts. This movie was a trip the whole time. I used to have a dream running down a never ending hallway and the scenes where he was falling brought me flashbacks. Thanks Mr. Peele.
One of my top 5 movies of all time! Also Steven when you wondered why the garden guy was hugging all the guests, now it makes sense knowing that they are all his old friends, since he is the grandpa and they know!

*I fucking loved this movie. What a strong start to Peele's directing career.*
The coolest part for me as this was my second time seeing this material, was watching the part where Rose tells the cop he doesn't need to see Chris's ID and that was like a hero moment on first watch as she is protecting his rights while in reality she's saving her and her own family's ass by not having Chris's last known whereabouts be in that area and with her.
He keeps calm because that’s how we gotta be. 24/7 when we leave our homes we have on mental armor that we put on to face the world. 🤷🏽♀️
The dude running out at the camera in the dark is still one of the most haunting scenes for me. I can't explain the level of unexplained fear those few seconds are to me; must be some psychosomatic thing.
On a second viewing you realize the girlfriend is not sticking up for her man to the police asking for his ID. She is covering her tracks.
yall should 100% check out "The black phone" it was a great movie, one of my favorite horror/thriller movie!!! i would love to see y'all's reaction to it.
loved that movie the sister really carried that film
This is definitely one of those movies that is worth rewatching after you know what's going on.
They perfectly emulate the feeling you have when you are the only black person around with how weird the family acts. And he’s so chill because he is used to dealing with that uncomfortable feeling.
Daniel Kaluuya is a gifted actor. I saw him in Judas and the Black Messsiah also and he won an Oscar for that. And now is NOPE, a new Jordan’s Peele movie ☺️
One of my favorite scenes from this movie is when the girlfriend is eating cereal and milk and keeping the colored cereal separated from the white milk. I caught that reference in the movie theater when I first watched and everyone thought I was reading too much into it and then the actress who played the girlfriend confirmed it on a talk show and I was like yep! I knew I was right! Lol
I jumped when i saw the notification esp since this is one of my fav movie. Hope yall can react to “Us”! Its personally one of my favourites :D

"Us" was so good! I haven't seen "Nope". Didn't really look too good compared to Jordan's other two movies.
@@bellalegendre2644 NOPE is good and definitely worth the watch. I will say though it's not on the level of this, I think this is peak Jordan Peele imo.

Same.
At first this film had another ending, much sadder. Eventually, they change it after test projections. But you can find it easily on UA-cam. This film was a crasy experience, Jordan Peele is a genius. The actors are really good too, Rose and Chris are amazing.
This movie is definitely worth a second watch after you get the full context at the end. So many things go unnoticed.
I was just looking for new reactions to this movie and suddenly this shows up on my notifications. THE TIMING.
Timing is everything, just finally watched this a couple days ago and one of my favorite reaction channels uploaded this
The scene at 26:13 was kinda foreshadowing something bad. The guy yelling at him “get out” wasn’t cause he was mad that his picture was taken. He was literally telling him to get out of this place tryna save his life. This movie plays it off so well as if it’s one thing but in reality there’s a deeper meaning. Great movie 10/10 for sure.
Daniel is amazing in all his roles. Something about the way he acts with just his eyes…..crazy. He’s great in Queen & Slim too! And Nope!
This was so good I went to see it twice in theaters. The Easter eggs are incredible.
I'm so happy you liked this one. I think it is a masterpiece.
Also, I think Rose wouldn't let the cop see Chis' ID because later in her plan when he's reported missing, there would be a record of him there.
Y'know, sometimes I just want to give you both a great big hug! I saw this twice in the theatres, and you could feel how the audience felt by the end. Jordan Peele is a genius, and you are both at the start of a very freaky ride...
Good luck!
Then I got to understand the girl was not really standing up for him in the cop scene. The fact was she didn't want to leave any traces.
This movie is so upsetting because there’s no going back for these poor victims. There’s no rescuing the man or woman who were “taken over” by Grandpa and Grandma. No one can save, or bring back, Andre. Their own brains are basically gone. Damn. And what happens now to Chris? In the original ending he ends up in prison. In reality, it would be hard for him to come away from all of this without being arrested. Depressing and so disturbing. Jordan Peele is just amazing.
I am sad for those who were taken😭
I could not stop laughing at y’all’s reaction to him running 🤣
The music is so good too. Michael Abels, who did the score for the movie is half-black.
Dude knows how to make music not only scary when they need to be but also knows how to make tunes catchy and upbeat.
He's currently one of my favorite movie composers and I'm looking forward to seeing what he'll do next in the near future.
You guys should check out US next.
Loved your discovery of the many layers in the film. Did you get the irony of Chris having to "pick cotton" out of the chair to escape? Peele's a genius. Can't wait to see your reactions of Us and Nope!
Steven giving BJJ coaching mid-scene has to be one of my favorite channel moments.
i just realized the main character is the same dude who's in 'Cool Runnings'... 2 totally diff characters. What a great actor.
the symbolism and subliminal messages in Peeles films are AMAZING, rewatching his movies are like watching it for the first time every time because you see or realize something new every time
Get Out, Us and Nope. Jordan Peele's vision is otherworldly and unique.
So glad you guys watched this, great reaction!👌🏾
"we hired georgina and walter to help care for my parents. we couldnt bare to let them go." oh my god, i just realized thos part
This is definitely Peele's best film, I don't think he will ever be able to top it. Dope reaction guys.
The two of you made that movie so much fun. A great movie and a superb reaction. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you David!!
This is one of those movies that gets better the more you see it because of the details sprinkiled throughout. The reaction to the end was great esp when you consider there was an alternate, darker ending that they filmed some of. If you haven't already, I'd watch Daniel Kaluuya in Judas and the Black Messiah. It's a different type of movie compared to Get Out but his acting is amazing.
11:56 OH MY GOD CARROT CAKE. BECAUSE RUN RABBIT RUN.
I’ve seen this movie half a dozen times at least and never caught that before today.
Heck yeah!! Sponsorship! This is the only channel I’m excited about sponsorships for. Birthday is coming up and I might have to spoil myself with Scentbird. Congrats on the Sponsorship!
44:49 that’s a very good question. i never thought of it 😭
I love how at the end, it could've just been an innocent cop coming to a house fire and Steven's just like, 'fuck it, kill him.'
watch the alternate ending 0_o
That moment where the audience understands that the cop will not believe Chris and are happy when its his friend. He did a great job of mirroring real life.
There is no thing as an "innocent cop" when anyone watching seeing a cop coming thinks, "He's still not safe because they're not gonna believe the black guy".
@@Saphthings what had the cop done to make him guilty?
@ErectileKid Picked that profession. And no, this isn't my opinion, it's literally Jordan Peele's opinion:
"In the original ending, Chris is arrested by the police after strangling Rose. Instead of rescuing Chris, Rod meets him in jail and asks him for information about the Armitage family to investigate, but Chris insists that he stopped them and everything is fine. Peele intended this ending to reflect the realities of racism. By the time production had begun, however, several high-profile police shootings of black people had made discussion, in Peele's words, "more woke". After gauging reception at test screenings, he decided the film needed a happy ending, but felt a moment when the audience believes Chris is about to be arrested would preserve the intended reaction"
That's literally how he wrote it. It just being a cop the audience already knows "he lost, he's in trouble" and THAT fact is enough to show the state in where the public view of police are. We don't see the police and think, "yay he's saved!". But since when it was being released he felt enough of a message was going around about that he changed it to a bit more subtle.
Gone are the times when a cop shows up in a show and we think, "Phew!". It's usually, "Oh no...". Any game, movie, tv show, police show up, it's a bad sign. The Quarry game that just came up. Stopped by a cop? "Shoot... they're in trouble...". Movie where a girl is in the woods and a cop sees her and pulls up? We're like, "Oh crap I hope she can get away". There's basically no feeling of safety when the lights are on in a movie anymore. It's fear of "I hope this isn't one of the crazy ones".
what’s also crazy about this film is that peele had actually shot and intended for a much darker ending to the movie where it is an actual cop at the end of the film and chris gets arrested.
Great reaction. Get Out is probably one of the best, wildest movies to come out within the past ten years. Who ever would of thought that Jordan Peele, the stand-up/sketch comedy guy, could completely disturb and creep you out with "what-if" horror/suspense style story telling? lol! Time to watch Us next. 😂👍
I haven't watched this in a few years and watching it through your eyes was like watching it for the first time! Loved It!!
I really love everytime nikki reacts. Glad you watched this great movie.
