I like the way he put it. I used to dj and a mentor of mine said don't play the song they want to hear, play the song they didn't know they wanted to hear. I never thought about that in film making but makes a lot of sense.
That's the genius of invention in all things really. A truly great project or tool or item will make you go "I could've thought of that" or "why didn't I think of that?" its beauty is in its simplicity while still being well thought out. My friend just recently sold a product to a large paint company for a huge chunk of money and all it was that he came up with was putting a peelable adhesive on the backs of paint swatches so you could stick them on a wall and peel them of and stick them back on again to test out what color you want a room to be. Great idea. Anyone could've thought of it, but he was the first to actually do it.
Wow, I should use that more when it comes to performing my originals during my live concerts (the songs they did not know they wanted to hear) more than the covers (songs they want to hear).

get out is a perfect movie. there are only a few of those. great story, perfectly paced, no shorter or longer than it needed to be, every scene moves the story forward just enough. great performances, and it has something to say without beating you over the head.
also the solutions/progression always seem believable in the context of whats happening. the show of his nervous tick scratching the seat saves him in the end, and thats the most obvious of the many lovely tied together details. Loved it.
@@robbie5181it's one of the few horror movies where the protagonist actually acts intelligently. And it still almost ends badly for him. Makes it scarier than a lot of horror movies
QT's sheer joyful mega-nerd passion for cinema never fails to brighten my day a little. I love how hyped and excited he always gets about great movies from his contemporaries. 5/5 sperging.
Tarantino's take on it is spot on! Peele's storytelling really hooks you from start to finish. The film's mystery keeps viewers engaged. That collective "oh" moment in the theater is pure magic.
It would have been actually mysterious if they didn't have the opening scene. If it wasn't there, then everything would have been way more intense. Still I think it's a very good film.
Finally saw this! Watched with my 70 year old mom. It was good. If you want to send a message, make the movie good first and foremost. That's the biggest issue with Hollywood. They want to send a message and that's it. You need to put in the work to make it resonate. Peele did that with this.
I saw this movie when it first came out with a mainly black audience and it was honestly had one of the best atmospheres ever! The moment he pulled out those pictures the screams and shouting of profanities was insane 😂 then from that moment it was a rollercoaster of emotions people cheering for him when he escapes them we the police turn up at the end everyone was like ahhhhh dam we know what’s gonna happen now how typical then his friend pops out and everyone went mad!!! Gun fingers and screams 😂😂 what a movie man
I didn't know this, I always thought the happy ending felt forced in an otherwise perfect movie, but now reading about it, Chris getting arrested would feel pretty didactic like a point was trying to be made (especially to white audiences). Peele said because there was police shootings in the news at the time it made the movie "more woke" then he intended. And the movie is more nuanced then that and reading all the other endings he considered I think the happy ending is justified.
@@friendofphi I'm sure if it came out earlier, around the time he probably wrote it, it would have been an interesting and realistic ending, but as it stands, the subversion of expectations - hearing the sirens and thinking its over for Chris and then seeing that its Rod is such a moment of catharsis that I wouldn't want it any different. I remember the crowd cheering profusely when Rod showed up and its such a triumph seeing Rose deflate in response before bleeding out. Pure cinema.
I remember just being blown away seeing it like I expected it to be good but it just completely surpassed my expectations. Just an immaculate movie. I get people have their opinions but I never understood those who said it was boring. The suspense and tension built throughout kept me on edge and the themes were super relatable.
The end is the best. This guy goes through hell the whole movie and then when the cops light's start flashing its like okay, now the real nightmare begins lol. Genius
@@DidSomebodyRingTheDinkster Sure but in the context of the horror genre its a simple but fantastic subversion, as well as being thematically resonant. Most conventional horror movies when the cops show up its a sigh of relief for our protagonist, they’re saved but obviously Peele turns this on its head to great effect.
@@DidSomebodyRingTheDinkster With more life experience comes a wider and deeper understanding of other people's perspectives, hopefully lol and helps engage with art on different levels. Glad you've come to enjoy it. Not many films have as confident and clear of a vision and voice as Get Out, especially for a directorial debut.
@@princejellyfish3945 Thank you. You would think it would be common sense but it shows how some people view the police and others don't. Like you said, normally you'd be happy that the police showed up in that situation, but the majority of the theater I was in gasped in fear/had an "awww shit" moment when we saw those police lights start flashing, only to breathe a sigh of relief when we saw it was the homie.
I remember watching this in this movies when it first came out. QT is not lying. Everyone in the movies was just as shocked when we found out what was truly going on. Great cinema
It's a great movie because they telegraph a lot of the turns to where you kinda have it figured out, but it's so well executed that the acting and story distracts you from the next corner
I didn’t enjoy the movie because it’s only as deep as an echo chamber can go. It speaks about the fears and prejudices blacks face without going beyond it. It’s like an MLK speech that only the repeats the news but never develops the dream of a future. It puts a few layers of mystery over the inherent fears of a people without ever going beyond those fears. Same thing with nope. After everyone finishing digging beneath the layers all everyone can do is agree. It’s like gift wrapping a present you already played with, where everyone is admiring the gift wrap.
@@DelusionalNYC Didn’t see many this year but Poor Things was a really good film. Idk what that has to do with wide release (poor things was wide release) because even movies like Jurassic park transcend the genre and the themes.
Jordan Peele truly has range because not only is he the star of one best sketch comedy shows he also directed some of the best films of this last generation.
@@maxtubb8560 It was decent. I didn't hate it, but Certainly not one of the best films of this generation. There are better horror films than any of his movies, released every year. In fact, even Get Out wasn't particularly special. It was a mid horror movie, but the social commentary aspect resonated with some people.
I wouldn't say "the plot" was ripped from Skeleton Key, just the basic idea of switching bodies like that. But I also didn't really like Skeleton Key so maybe I'm just biased haha
I’m a white center-right leaning conservative male and I can’t stand all the far-left “wokeism” in Hollywood today. With that said, I didn’t get an ounce of any of that in this film. Merely depicting a racist white family isn’t anti-white propaganda. Nowhere in the film did they insinuate that all or most white people are like that. I thought it was very well made and original in style and story.
In the theater, a group of white kids walked out, I think they thought it was going to be a comedy. I knew something was off when I was the only one laughing at the inside jokes.
@@saintsalieri It'snit complicated, it's layered. But I was talking about Tarantino's observations on the film. Something a good movie critic can do is explain how I feel and put it into words. Sometimes I can "get" movies but have a hard time explaining it
He grew up around black people, he literally was a part of that community, all his friends were black and his mothers boyfriends were all black and he spent a lot of time with them watching movies, he grew up in the black community, he only got white friends when he started working at video archives when he moved to LA. Because of this he has basically the same insight into it as any black person would, you wouldn't have Sam Jackson being a close collaborator of his if Tarantino was just spouting nonsense about black people.
Yeah unfortunately it's way too similar to The Skeleton Key which I had already seen (and Peele probably did as well, though Get Out has its' own style even if the story is similar).
Get Out was pretty fantastic as a movie. Us was interesting as well but then he got caught up on the success of "weird" and made Nope which was mid at best. The CGI representation of the UFO was great design but then the rest of stuff is fine.
I remember seeing this in theaters with my black friends. I had no idea what the movie was about other than seeing a brief preview of it. The first part of the movie was typical audience quietness as we tried to understand the mystery. As soon as it was revealed, and Chris started to make his escape, the entire theatre turned into a football stadium rooting for him to survive, me included. I remember cheering with everyone at the very end when he made it out. Race had nothing to do with it.
Race had everything to do with it on so many levels including some that white audiences wouldn't see. The most obvious level was in the end when there was police car approaching a black man covered in blood.
Forgive me for not remembering more But the only 2 times I can remember that Quentin Tarantino Had a sort of reveal like that Are mister orange in reservoir dogs and in hateful 8 who the bad guys are.... Can anyone else recall another time Of like a mystery reveal?
u know what’s insane? i honestly thought this video in the beginning was the owner of the UA-cam channel explaining why it’s a good film b4 he gets to QT’s take… only to realize it was QT talking the entire time…
That is insane because if you’ve seen Tarantino’s movies like Django Unchained & either Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs because he makes a cameo in DU & either PF or RD (I can’t recall) but after you see those … you’d know how he sounds
As a black man, I’m not sensitive enough to need movies told from a “black perspective” cause that’s silly. We don’t all have the same “perspective” and just because a black person is in it or it was directed by a black person doesn’t mean I’m naturally going to be more interested in it. I just need good stories by talented people only interested in telling stories, not activism or overt messaging or anything else thats ruining movies these days. I don’t need my hand held and coddled to. Just make it good and you’ll get black people to watch it no matter who’s in it. I don’t go to a movie to “see myself” or any of those other bs talking points. I go to see stories, that’s it. The more interesting and intriguing the better. There is no black perspective because black people aren’t a monolith. We don’t all feel the same way about everything.
Exactly, it doesn't matter what colour or race the protagonist or main character has, the only thing I want to see in a good movie is character and charatcter development. If he or she is black or not doesn't matter to me, only if he or she grows as a character or has the same/similar battles I have to deal with, then I can relate to it, wheter if this character is black, asian, white or whatsoever.
Being masochistic seems to be very popular with some whites. It's still weird and they still hate you though, you're not one of the good ones and you're still not invited to the cookout😊
The only sad thing is Jordan Peele failed to usher in waves of black filmmakers making genre films, with black leads. There was a flash in the pan period after Get Out, with no staying power. And to be honest it was mostly films trying to copy Get Out.
@@festo512 Not gonna say it's due to systemic racism, but it sure as hell feels like it. Shows like Lovecraft Country, for example, were loved by fans, and should've gotten a season 2. I also know of plenty of other "Jordan Peele clones" that could be making amazing horror/sci-fi content if given the opportunity. I think ultimately, Get Out capitalized on the social unrest related to police brutality in a genius way, and that's kinda fizzled out in recent years. It's also unfortunate how black people are only relevant at the highest levels of pop culture if they're portrayed as being subdued and/or struggling. That's the one thing I hope changes within my lifetime.
@@kuakilyissombroguwi I disagree. Get Out felt like something new to general audiences until the truth had to be explained them. It was just a stepford wives remake with female Independence replaced with race. Jordan Peele employed the same trick with his next movies. Remake old movies but add race. But I don't think its racism that black filmmakers didn't follow Peele. Has there been anyone of color saying they were turned away from directing? It's the Same thing with tarantinos pulp fiction. It was marketed as something original and new when it wasn't . Lovecraft country didn't get a season 2 because the head show runner didn't work well with others. Do you agree?
@@festo512 I don't agree, but you're entitled to your opinion. Things aren't that black and white, specifically when it comes down to race relations in the workplace in America (at least).
This comment section just shows that racism will never stop, towards white, towards chinese, towards black, towards hispanic etc its here to stay, good job people!
I went to Get Out opening night with a white cop. I loved it. Honestly he seemed to dig it as well. But I think some of the cheering made him glad he wasn't wearing his work attire. Hahaha The hate it gets is hilarious. It was a legit thriller/horror written by a comedian. He deserves all the praise he got for it. I'll continue to see anything he does, horror or comedy.
I'm sure it's mandatory by law these days: if anything is even tangentially related to race or gender, nobody is allowed to enjoy one's self and "sh*t just got real" attitude is obligatory.
Gee i wonder who owns the movie industry and also fled to America around the turn of the century, who was driven out of somewhere for owning the press and positions of power there and were massively overrepresented.
Personally I did not enjoy Get out. Not due to the movie but I saw a trailer that revealed too much. Which made the film very predictable. So I've stopped watching trailers altogether.
To me it was a rip off of Being John Malkovich,which ironically also starred Katherine Keener.she had to have acknowledged the similarities when she read the script😂😂😂
It takes one part of a similar idea but the two films are so different that the comparison is pointless. Do you say 28 Days Later is just a rip off of Dawn of the Dead? etc. Or do you you actually watch films to enjoy them?
The movie is a complete rip off of the skeleton key. Suprised no one really mentions it, it’s almost like peele watched and just wrote it with a new script.
Tarantino himself "rips off" a lot of older movies. Sometimes one to one. Many people do, it's not that uncommon. As I see it, as long as you add your own spin to it, it's not stealing, but being inspired.
@@xnkatta yea definitely understand but Tarantino does it to pay respect and homage. He uses a lot of similarities in shooting and premises but he gives praise to those film makers and doesn’t take shot for shot exactly any movie. But these 2 movies are almost identical.
Nah, I’ve been in that exact situation, dressed exactly like Lakeith was, and nothing happened, but I was scared and had to get out of that neighborhood asap. Just like with “Us” the opening scene is a short subject horror movie unto itself.
@@NickolasNameolas Okay, so? Did you then get thrown in the back of a car and kidnapped in a goofy way? The stuff before that is all good yep, but it's just not needed imo. I will repeat: Everything would be way more tense and mysterious without it. But Instead because of the opening we know that someone is kidnapping black people, and when we see him later - we, the audience know: "Oh, that's that guy who was kidnapped, these people must have kidnapped him, but now he seems like he's acting white" There were already 2 other characters to set up the twist that was coming, so why do that goofy scooby doo opening. It weakened the twists and turns that were to come. Lakeith could have still been at the house but the kidnapping part takes away what could have been some all-time tension and twists. Still, it's a great film, the opening scene just bugs me.
The only new thing about this movie is the ostracism to which audiences other than blacks are subjected to. We’ve seen this movie before. Misery, Rosemary’s Baby, many more come to mind. At times Get Out was a bit cringy, pretending the ones who aren’t black and belong to that subtract of North American society to which the movie is directed, doesn’t understand. Cultures don’t differ that much, the blacks, Hispanics and whites aren’t that unique, please, I humbly ask, stop pretending your group is special in some way.
From a European perspective what you get seeing this movie is a weird tone, as it looks EXACTLY as Key and Peel sketches, a bit of shoe horned humor and 3 white characters who want to be black. Black great, white bad. The only bit of it that was beyond a typical middle range thriller was the sunken place bit, all else was... Fine, nothing more. But I guess a black American will have a different experience with it. I just find it ridiculous how circle jerky Hollywood is, this thing was Ok, elements of it were even solid, BUT to get a fkn oscar for the script for this is a fkn insult. The Nolan brothers should of gotten 45 of those by now is THIS thing is the standard.
American fixation on race is fascinating. Do they really think there is some kind of meaningful difference just because some of them have different reflectivity. Even as a European, i dont see anything uniquely black/white.
He was raised by multiple black men since he was a child, he went to the cinema in the black neighbourhoods with black crowds all the time. Getting upset about him using his own insight is absolutely pointless.

Get Out was pretty fantastic as a movie. Us was interesting as well but then he got caught up on the success of "weird" and made Nope which was mid at best. The CGI representation of the UFO was great design but then the rest of stuff is fine.
Jordan rules man. And then years later, I realised he was the sweating meme guy. Totally fuct!
Fantastic movie!!!!!!
I remember seeing this in theaters with my black friends. I had no idea what the movie was about other than seeing a brief preview of it. The first part of the movie was typical audience quietness as we tried to understand the mystery. As soon as it was revealed, and Chris started to make his escape, the entire theatre turned into a football stadium rooting for him to survive, me included. I remember cheering with everyone at the very end when he made it out. Race had nothing to do with it.
Race had everything to do with it on so many levels including some that white audiences wouldn't see. The most obvious level was in the end when there was police car approaching a black man covered in blood.
I mean yeah that is the surface level "what happened in the movie" take.
But there is an ocean of subtext and it most certainly is about race.
Get Out provides the most expensive method to acquire the n word pass
Great film to watch twice - once to discover, once to rediscover with hindsight - it's creepy to the Nth degree 👌
For me it was very reminiscent of "Society"
well put.
yes it is a supremely confident movie and it makes all the difference
I think I was the only person in the theater when I went to a matinee lol
Forgive me for not remembering more But the only 2 times I can remember that Quentin Tarantino Had a sort of reveal like that Are mister orange in reservoir dogs and in hateful 8 who the bad guys are.... Can anyone else recall another time Of like a mystery reveal?
no. now go away
u know what’s insane? i honestly thought this video in the beginning was the owner of the UA-cam channel explaining why it’s a good film b4 he gets to QT’s take… only to realize it was QT talking the entire time…
That is insane because if you’ve seen Tarantino’s movies like Django Unchained & either Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs because he makes a cameo in DU & either PF or RD (I can’t recall) but after you see those … you’d know how he sounds
Too bad he didn't comment *spoiler alert* on the generic ending which ruined the movie for me.
As a black man, I’m not sensitive enough to need movies told from a “black perspective” cause that’s silly. We don’t all have the same “perspective” and just because a black person is in it or it was directed by a black person doesn’t mean I’m naturally going to be more interested in it. I just need good stories by talented people only interested in telling stories, not activism or overt messaging or anything else thats ruining movies these days. I don’t need my hand held and coddled to. Just make it good and you’ll get black people to watch it no matter who’s in it. I don’t go to a movie to “see myself” or any of those other bs talking points. I go to see stories, that’s it. The more interesting and intriguing the better. There is no black perspective because black people aren’t a monolith. We don’t all feel the same way about everything.

Exactly, it doesn't matter what colour or race the protagonist or main character has, the only thing I want to see in a good movie is character and charatcter development.
If he or she is black or not doesn't matter to me, only if he or she grows as a character or has the same/similar battles I have to deal with, then I can relate to it, wheter if this character is black, asian, white or whatsoever.
I agree, it was just racist and devisive. No overt racism, just subtle enough to propagandize.
That may be true buy there are plenty of dummies who watch Tyler perry's garbage.
You are not the majority unfortunately, otherwise Tyler Perry wouldn't have a career
Get out will turn jordan into mnight. It was original and a great story. Hard to beat it.
I am white but I absolutely loved that movie.
What do u mean “but”? This movie wasn’t just got Black ppl it was for all ppl. Do Italians just watch MOB movies?
@@thesupervisor3270 Have you not watched this video? He said "black audiences" like 20 times.
@@procerator It says the movie resonated more with black audiences. Not that it was only black people who could enjoy the movie.
Being masochistic seems to be very popular with some whites. It's still weird and they still hate you though, you're not one of the good ones and you're still not invited to the cookout😊
Get Out reminded me of a Twilight Zone story. 👍
Are these from a podcast or his own UA-cam channel
Superb movie!
Evil movies need emptiness and mystery never truly unwrapped
Take a shot for every time he says black audience
as a black man this movie was just a 6.8/10 for me. entertaining first time watch... but not nearly as good as Django unchained obviously
keeps saying "they haven't seen before" becuase it's just stepford wives retold
Edging for bad ending is different feeling,come on we know all that 😂😂😂😂
I guess Quentin also never saw The Skeleton key
Neither have I.
Get out was good but it's literally just the movie The Skeleton Key.
Get Out is a Racist MOvie, just as Racist as Birth of a Nation. You might not think it is obvious, but it is a deeply racist film.
Racist for whom? Black or white?
next ask him what he thinks of Happy Feet.
“It spoke to -black- gay audiences loud and clear”
The only sad thing is Jordan Peele failed to usher in waves of black filmmakers making genre films, with black leads. There was a flash in the pan period after Get Out, with no staying power. And to be honest it was mostly films trying to copy Get Out.
Do you know why that is?
@@festo512 Not gonna say it's due to systemic racism, but it sure as hell feels like it. Shows like Lovecraft Country, for example, were loved by fans, and should've gotten a season 2. I also know of plenty of other "Jordan Peele clones" that could be making amazing horror/sci-fi content if given the opportunity.
I think ultimately, Get Out capitalized on the social unrest related to police brutality in a genius way, and that's kinda fizzled out in recent years. It's also unfortunate how black people are only relevant at the highest levels of pop culture if they're portrayed as being subdued and/or struggling. That's the one thing I hope changes within my lifetime.
@@kuakilyissombroguwi I disagree. Get Out felt like something new to general audiences until the truth had to be explained them. It was just a stepford wives remake with female Independence replaced with race. Jordan Peele employed the same trick with his next movies. Remake old movies but add race. But I don't think its racism that black filmmakers didn't follow Peele. Has there been anyone of color saying they were turned away from directing?
It's the Same thing with tarantinos pulp fiction. It was marketed as something original and new when it wasn't .
Lovecraft country didn't get a season 2 because the head show runner didn't work well with others.
Do you agree?
@@festo512 I don't agree, but you're entitled to your opinion. Things aren't that black and white, specifically when it comes down to race relations in the workplace in America (at least).
@@kuakilyissombroguwi if I'm wrong can you explain why each Jordan Peele movie has made less money domestically than the one released before it?
Great flick
It was good and Peele never came even close to it in every movie after.
no it wasn't
This comment section just shows that racism will never stop, towards white, towards chinese, towards black, towards hispanic etc its here to stay, good job people!
I went to Get Out opening night with a white cop. I loved it. Honestly he seemed to dig it as well. But I think some of the cheering made him glad he wasn't wearing his work attire. Hahaha
The hate it gets is hilarious. It was a legit thriller/horror written by a comedian. He deserves all the praise he got for it. I'll continue to see anything he does, horror or comedy.
Not all black people are racist.
Okay, of course, the comments section is dumb asf.
I'm sure it's mandatory by law these days: if anything is even tangentially related to race or gender, nobody is allowed to enjoy one's self and "sh*t just got real" attitude is obligatory.
Despite not being black I do love this movie!
Gee i wonder who owns the movie industry and also fled to America around the turn of the century, who was driven out of somewhere for owning the press and positions of power there and were massively overrepresented.
This is the last truly great movie I've seen.
Are this opinions real?
Psssssst. Quentin? It's not an original movie. It's a ripoff of Skeleton Key.
We are thirsting for some original movies.
Just watched this, thought it was obvious and not very good.
That's a shame
ripoff from skeleton key
Sounds so much like Conan now that I think about it
Personally I did not enjoy Get out. Not due to the movie but I saw a trailer that revealed too much. Which made the film very predictable.
So I've stopped watching trailers altogether.
As a black person I thought the movie was boring and overrated
To me it was a rip off of Being John Malkovich,which ironically also starred Katherine Keener.she had to have acknowledged the similarities when she read the script😂😂😂
Also Skeleton Key.
It takes one part of a similar idea but the two films are so different that the comparison is pointless.
Do you say 28 Days Later is just a rip off of Dawn of the Dead? etc. Or do you you actually watch films to enjoy them?
I wish he talked more about the 'Black audiences'
The premise of body transference was interesting but the application of well to do white men seeking to become black is completely absurd.
The movie is a complete rip off of the skeleton key. Suprised no one really mentions it, it’s almost like peele watched and just wrote it with a new script.
E X A C T L Y
Tarantino himself "rips off" a lot of older movies. Sometimes one to one. Many people do, it's not that uncommon. As I see it, as long as you add your own spin to it, it's not stealing, but being inspired.
@@xnkatta yea definitely understand but Tarantino does it to pay respect and homage. He uses a lot of similarities in shooting and premises but he gives praise to those film makers and doesn’t take shot for shot exactly any movie. But these 2 movies are almost identical.
Honestly, the opening scene should not be in the film. Everything would be way more tense and mysterious without it.
Nah, I’ve been in that exact situation, dressed exactly like Lakeith was, and nothing happened, but I was scared and had to get out of that neighborhood asap. Just like with “Us” the opening scene is a short subject horror movie unto itself.
@@NickolasNameolas
Okay, so? Did you then get thrown in the back of a car and kidnapped in a goofy way? The stuff before that is all good yep, but it's just not needed imo.
I will repeat:
Everything would be way more tense and mysterious without it.
But Instead because of the opening we know that someone is kidnapping black people, and when we see him later - we, the audience know: "Oh, that's that guy who was kidnapped, these people must have kidnapped him, but now he seems like he's acting white"
There were already 2 other characters to set up the twist that was coming, so why do that goofy scooby doo opening. It weakened the twists and turns that were to come. Lakeith could have still been at the house but the kidnapping part takes away what could have been some all-time tension and twists. Still, it's a great film, the opening scene just bugs me.
Tarantino is a straight up asset in film. He gets it!👽
The only new thing about this movie is the ostracism to which audiences other than blacks are subjected to. We’ve seen this movie before. Misery, Rosemary’s Baby, many more come to mind. At times Get Out was a bit cringy, pretending the ones who aren’t black and belong to that subtract of North American society to which the movie is directed, doesn’t understand. Cultures don’t differ that much, the blacks, Hispanics and whites aren’t that unique, please, I humbly ask, stop pretending your group is special in some way.
That’s what I love about Quentin: he sometimes also has complete BS opinions about purely shit movies
From a European perspective what you get seeing this movie is a weird tone, as it looks EXACTLY as Key and Peel sketches, a bit of shoe horned humor and 3 white characters who want to be black. Black great, white bad. The only bit of it that was beyond a typical middle range thriller was the sunken place bit, all else was... Fine, nothing more. But I guess a black American will have a different experience with it. I just find it ridiculous how circle jerky Hollywood is, this thing was Ok, elements of it were even solid, BUT to get a fkn oscar for the script for this is a fkn insult. The Nolan brothers should of gotten 45 of those by now is THIS thing is the standard.
From the same director that "allowed" the N word to be used 38 times in his film Jackie Brown.
The show is average, but since Peele is black, he gets extra praise.
I can speak on this. I think it's more division nonsense.
Edit: Anyone can speak.. its our God giving, constitutional Right.
"Black audiences"
"Black perspective"
F. BS.
claro que o espanhol imundo ia ficar puto kkkkkkkkkkkk
LMAO He's always speaking for Black people.
American fixation on race is fascinating. Do they really think there is some kind of meaningful difference just because some of them have different reflectivity.
Even as a European, i dont see anything uniquely black/white.
It's victim porn. It's kind of gross. I don't think it's helping anyone.
I love how he's speaking for black audiences...which is why so many bp have an issue with him.
He was raised by multiple black men since he was a child, he went to the cinema in the black neighbourhoods with black crowds all the time. Getting upset about him using his own insight is absolutely pointless.
