ohh shoot I just noticed, at the beginning he said he doesn't wanna get chased off the lawn with a shot gun, and thats what exactly happened at the end of the movie
This isn't exactly symbolism, but when the black male worker starts running it was hinting at the fact that he was Rose's grandfather since her grandfather was an Olympic sprinter who lost to a black sprinter. I think that was really good foreshadowing.
i always found it extremely creepy and ironic that the art dealer guy who buys chris' body talks as if chris' talent literally comes from his "eyes" and not his perception, experiences, taste, ect. It just goes further into discrediting black talent and intelligence.
When he says vision, he does mean artistic vision. He emphasizes the word. I art your eye is not just your eyeball but I can see that, lacking that understanding, its even better.
@MrSnow1961 If an artistic work like a movie doesn't give you emotional reactions of many kinds it couldn't be no longer considered art. But I guess you're one of those guys who get hard by watching the 56th Fast and Furious movie, so yeah ignore this.
Two things that break my heart about this movie: 1) Throughout the movie, Chris continues to say “no, it’s okay, it’s alright, I’m used to it” when faced with racism. Maybe because he doesn’t want to be the angry black man, or because he doesn’t want to upset Rose. This negative view on people who get angry at injustice works to keep them in place, and his attempts to put on a smile keep him in the house. 2) Rose’s parents ask him about his parents, but they fucking knew he was an orphan, and that’s why they targeted him. He wouldn’t be missed
Yes to your first point. 100% yes. Every time a black person speaks about our experience in public forum, you can always count on some disgruntled white people who took the blue pill saying "racism doesn't exist," "stop being a victim," etc. Literally every single time. This sadly has convinced a lot of black people to just not speak about it at all, which is exactly what those disgruntled white people want.
@@swifty1969 It also goes for any standard that doesn't conform. Mental illness, disability, race, nationality etc. The world is ist to everyone if it is ist to anyone and it's gotta fucking stop. No one needs horror movies, just look at how fellow human beings displace, ostracize and discriminate one another over the most stupid things.
Daniel K's facial expressions were so phenomenal in this film. Its almost as if Jordan peele pulled him aside and told him to literally think of every time in the past he may have had such a horrifying feeling or racist occurrence and bring it ALL to the surface.
He's just a good actor, I don't think he needs a director to tell him to get in character. And reliving racism is extremely easy as we experience it daily anyway, so it's not like we're dragging up old memories lmao
It's a shame there's no mention of why Chris went back for the grandmum. He didn't do it because he knew there was another person possibly worth saving. He did it because nobody was there to help his own mum when she was struck by a car, and he didn't want to be the one to do that to somebody else.
when he was choking the girlfriend, he didn’t finish, I think it’s because he wanted her to die alone on the ground like his mother, but he probably stopped because of the cop car.
I think you missed the symbolism of the "silver spoon" in the tea cup and how the mom/therapist uses it to control him. She's using her "wealth" as a method of power. Considering they're shown as a moderately rich Caucasian family.
@@josephirizarry5195 I agree, but as the video kind of skirts around, tea is also a symbol of colonialism. Why is "polite" society associated with tea? Because of the British Empire and colonial control of the East. So it's a symbol of genteel society, but also has a much deeper, darker history. She's even drinking it from a china cup that looks ALOT like the classic blue "willow pattern" that became popular in England at the end of the 18th century. That pattern itself was copied from blue-and-white patterns from China, and also ends up emphasizing the idea of wearing another race's "skin" in that the willow pattern is a copy. It's English porcelain pretending to be Chinese. Even if that's not the intended pattern, the pagodas on the teacup in the pivotal hypnosis scene reminds you as you're watching that tea isn't originally British, and that there's a history there of oppression that we ignore. This movie has so many layers. So fucking good.
Also, the cup and saucer pattern is, I believe, Blue Willow, which is an old, slave days, English pattern that is still around today & quite collectible. The British were avid slave traders until William Wilberforce put a halt to it.
admiring?! i’m now scared of the dark all over again bc of that movie😂 i did really like it though and i would like to watch it again sometime to fully appreciate it, but maybe next year :)
while i was watching this movie i noticed that the eyes of the “slaves” always seemed sad or scared so i started covering the lower half of their faces to test this and damn, it gave me chills
The most powerful moment for me came when the body they'd given to Grandpa regains consciousness & shoots himself in the head. To me that moment said "I'd rather die than have a White person controlling my body." Extremely powerful!
Nicolas Vincent I dunno, I mean, when Georgina cried, I nearly did. That, to me, was particularly poignant and heartwrenching...but also kinda funny. is that sick?
+LordVader1094 Because that's what this movie is about! White people (and one Asian person) trying to co-opt & literally control the bodies & minds of Black People! It's a pretty thinly veiled metaphor! What did you not even see it? Why comment?
i don't really watch horror movie in theater or at home i don't like them but i watched this film in the theater because of all the positive reviews from the critics and i did not regret it!!
I think it was really interesting that they hit the deer and when the parents learn about the deer they hit, the dad says something along the lines of “oh yes I hate deer they damage the ecosystem there’s too many of them haha can you tell that I feel passionately about this?” . Then it is revealed that Chris’ mom was killed in a hit and run. I think Peel might have used the deer as symbolism to show there deep rooted racism that may not be so openly shared, but is there. Just my thoughts
I remember feeling my heart sank when the cop car rolled up. The way the theater ERUPTED into applause, joy and RELIEF seeing the friend was exhilarating!
Loved the film analysis. Just goes to show the effort Jordan Peele put into this movie. I even got to meet him because of it when he came to my college discussing the film. He described it as the film he never saw being made but wanted so he decided to make it. It was really great seeing it and knowing his insights on everything. Also as a black male who grew up around white people, he really nailed a lot of the social interactions between characters down. P.S.- Also as a quick disclaimer, to anyone who felt offended by this movie, you're probably one of the people it's talking about.
Tissan Young This movie is a fabric of literature, possessing such motive and intent behind its images and filmography. I loved it. On a side note, I believe the teacup is less of a symbol, and more of a motif; it's recurring, unlike a symbol, and it's significant to the movie's interpretation as well. What do you think?
Oh yeah i just remebered that he said "what if your dad chases me with a shotgun" before they go to their house and the ironic thing is that his "girlfriend" was the one that chased him
@@beatlefan713 getting chased with a rifle and a shotgun gives into two different chases. You’re the one who wants to argue with a 5 year old comment about semantics 🥱🥱🥱 fax no printer
@@Sojiny everyone says it’s the same thing not just me 😂 but go on clap for yourself And 5 year old comment or not, you put it out there so I replied, that’s how it works. Has nothing to do with the age of the comment. Judging by your profile pic you look like you got mental problems though so I won’t hold it against you 🤭
I'm still at a loss for words on the depth of this movie and my feelings toward it. I guess the best way of putting it is that I love how...deliberate it is. There is nothing extraneous in the movie--it all serves an explicit purpose. From the placement of omegas at the front of the house (barely visible for a quick second at the beginning of the movie) signifying the end of blacks that enter, to the cereal consumption at the end, in which the colored (cereal) had to be separate from the white (milk) and no cereal piece could be eaten whole--it had to be broken, snapped in half first--every image, sound, movement served a purpose that actually ADDED to the main idea. Even the manner in which they flipped traditional jumpscares on their head in the sequence featuring the movements of the maid around the house and the gardener's "Get Out challenge" run, accompanied by very sudden jolts of music, as if they were the impending threat, and the quiet as Chris walks back in the house and is accosted by the mother--signifying that not all true threats come with bells and whistles. I could go on about this movie and its symbolism all day, to be honest (the carrying of Chris to the bottom of the house, strapping up, and conversion process and the parallel to slave process and assimilation was insane), but this comment is already far too long 😂 I just really appreciate this film and all the effort out into it.
You speak like a white person. And the fact I couldn't understand a damn thing you said proves my point. You use too many big words..you add too much old English. Your so full of shit Ebony. Your hot shit.
I am from India and I belong to a tribe . It's so strange that even in India the " light brown " people call us black .they denied us freedom education everything and they tied us with the strongest chain called "caste "
i’m indian but part dravidian so i have darker skin than indians portrayed in media, i was born in India but i lived in America almost all my life and people still mistake me for black and i’ve been discriminated as a kid, some people just don’t know anything about white privilege and it’s frustrating
Well, you have to understand thr true history of India. The original Indians were black in fact extremely dark Woolly haired people called the Dravidians who are still there until this very day. But sadly they are on the cusp of extinction. The lighter skinned Indians( the Aryans) didn’t come until much much later
the cup RM throws in the Run MV The Dravidian are the indigenous ( black) population of India. The lighter skinned( Aryan) Indian didn’t come until much much later
It's interesting to add that, intentionally or not, Rose's character reflects on how we see the Southern Belle's archetype versus real life. The Southern Belle is usually a woman is the fish out of the water who knows the horror of slavery and be the progressive one in the white privilege family. But it turns out that in reality, most of the women were just as bad and vicious as their male counterparts who own and abused their slaves. And this personified in Rose in the modern time.
roloug95 really? I myself don't see it, everytime I watch a video of his it makes me appreciate an additional layer of of whatever subject he's talking about. whatever points he makes always really make sense to me in the context of the film or project he's analyzing and add a depth to it that I had personally not noticed. but to each his own I guess.
This analysis was very insightful and I really like the graze on how hypersexualizing black men is still in and of itself a form of objectification and dehumanization and promotes the idea of using that to the advantage of a white person
That was disturbingly true I didn't like that at ALL cause that's what it is out here in this country!!!! FACTS!!! Look at what's going on right now!!!!
@@pico2722 this makes sence. Otherwise there would be chocolate cereals. I don´t know whats going on in the US with all the racist shit, but every human has a color. It seems to me, that some people have guilty conscience because they are white (sandcolored xD)....just my oppinion
*The dad speaking about deers and how they need to eliminate them is speaking more peoples perspectives on immigrants and minority, he also takes about hiding the "BLACK" mold which was a foreshadow of Chris being put in the sunken place and taking him out of his state of mind and Rose not wanting Chris to not show his license wasn't to defend him but so that when he is taken for supposedly forever, he would't connected with being with Rose and their family, Also it wasn't just a coincidence that all the visitors had black vans*
The reference about deer at the beginning is about Black people, too. When Black people were enslaved, they were referred to in deer terminology. Men were “bucks,” women were “does.” When Chris’s mother was struck by a car, she bled out on the side of the road and nobody cared to help or noticed her. That’s why Chris stayed behind with the deer. The deer both represents Chris’s mother and the hunting/death/murder of Black people as a whole.
An irony of Get Out is that it was filmed outside of Mobile AL, where I was born. Mobile was the very last city to officially shut down its slave trade, they held out and kept selling slaves for as long as they could. I'm sure it wasn't a conscious choice, but it ads an interesting factor.
@@Logitah Mobile and the surrounding areas are an increasingly popular place to film for the scenic locations and low costs. It would have been cool if it was intentional, but I feel like it was probably for budget or scenery reasons.
They did use a house that hearkened back to the white columns of historical slave plantations. The wide, columned, verandah house in this movie is still a housing style in the south. So I was always confused about this being set in the northeast, or within a day's drive anyway of whatever major city they're living in. Because I've never seen that housing style in the northeast. But it's still the predominant style for wealthy homes in the south. Filming outside of Mobile explains how they achieved that. Glad you mentioned this.
you were right on about most of it. But her denying the policeman to see his ID wasn't an act of tolerance what so ever. We already know she's tolerant, or she wouldn't be with a black guy, or they wouldnt of had the "do your parents know im black" talk. He denying the police officer was technically the first hint she's a villain, thats one less witness who isnt in on it, especially since hes someone who could do something about this operation and would recognize the guy if he turned up on a missing poster.
That may be the explicit meaning as shown in the film but the implicit is her jumping in when he didn't think it was a big deal. She got super offended while he didn't seem to care very much. This whole video is about the symbolism, not the explicit meaning.
yea he definitely showed both in the film.it shows the ones who are most offended and protective could just have those views themselves. like how people say when someone is overly worried about you cheating on them most likely they're cheating themselves ,they throw that guilt onto you so they can feel like a less worse person. some white people get so offended about stuff we could care less about as if they're our "friend" but completly ignore big causes like black lives matter and spit out well all lives matter I don't see color lol.those type of people make me uneasy because they're like roses character sneaky and passive aggressive. atleast when your dealing with blunt racism you know how to deal with it,but how can you deal with someone who's passive aggressive and pretends to be on your side it's like a mind fuck.
I thought the ending was brilliant. He could have gone for the bleaker alternative and that would also make a good ending. But the fear we feel for Chris when we see the red and blue lights before we know it's Rod is quite enough to convey the message. Making him go to jail would just hammer that down even further. The ending is good because it takes us on a roller coaster of emotions: fear of the cop car, relief for seeing Chris catch a break and laughter at the idea of TSA being badass.
@@Obamnaz thanks, us gays always figure we’re all in this together. That’s how we keep our selves sane. I hope you feel the same. You have more allies than not. 🙏❤️
another note worthy thing that i and others have noticed is that in the film, during the gathering at the house, we notice theres one asian man there amongst all the white people. the asian man represents how asians too have participated in anti blackness. also, this was the best video i've seen on analyzing of a film!!
PillsburyDoughBoy Oh wow! I really did not think of that and I've watched it several times now. It's nice to rewatch movies like Get Out because you do tend to pick up on little details you miss like this. Got anymore for me?
This are questions that can be perfectly answered by a blackperson especially blackmen. Georgina as you know is the grandma/white racism system, she deliberately unplugs his phone so as for Chrisnot to get access to the outside world and influences. When whitefolks are trying to whitewash the token black in their circle, they try to keep him in check each time he tries to get informed about who he is. I know you don't get it and probably never will unless you are black. Get offended all you want but, you wanted the truth.
It's grandma trying to keep Chris disconnected from the outside world, essentially being his reduction from a free individual member of our society to a mere vessel.
Chris is the item they are all there to bid on. I feel like that scene is about lust and desire to own and consume Chris - they lust to own his body as theirs. They're drawn to him like hungry jackal's looking at a meal.
prncesstrish They want him, want to be him. Many blacks have a swagger that whites and other races usually admire, but there is a thin line between admiration and appropriation. They have more of an "I want it, I will take it" mindset. We are seen as things to benefit off of. Ex. Miley Cyrus is much like them looking up to blacks. But instead of admiration, she appropriated blacks, and garnered nothing but attention for herself and her gain. She tried to act like stereotypical black women and do "black" things or even speak ghetto like. But now that it has run out of use, she rejects it.
@@LordVader1094 - Not "us" and in all of us. But "us" as in "Black people", since they were the ones being lured into that situation and being taken over by white people. Ironically, Peele's next movie is called "Us", which looks like to be a metaphor on how Blacks have to fight a constant battle within themselves to stay alive.
So at the beginning he says "I don't want to be chased off the lawn with a shotgun" referring to her father... isn't it ironic that at the end SHE ends up chasing him off the lawn with a shotgun? I need to watch this whole movie again.
I’ve never seen a horror film where the “monster” isn’t your typical cliche of demons, vampires, serial killers, etc but rather the “monster” was racism itself..I feel this movie opens the door to explore what we as a society really deem as “scary”..can’t wait to see if or when other movies follow suit
I have no idea what The Conjuring is but (that's not true, I've heard of it, I just don't see new movies often because...) sequel culture has been ruining movies since the 80s. Even further back but that was when they really commercialized the idea into an empire.
This is amazing!!! Your breakdown is so precise and analytical. Man, the comparisons to Stepford and Rosemary were brilliant because of how much inspiration Jordan drew from them. I love him so much- such a talented man. This really isn't a movie you can only watch once. Truly chilling. This why you my favourite channel♥️
One of my favourite scenes from this movie is when Rose is eating fruity loops and milk separately while looking up promising black athletes. In movies and in our societies as well women are never perceived as creepy or inappropriate when they make sexual advances, but this scene managed to give me the creeps with 0 dialogue. Just showing her perversion of fetishizing black people was enough to convey that creepy feeling. Absolutely great!
This was a great analysis, but there are so many more things to analyze, and things you left out of the video. That just shows how detailed, and well thought out this movie is, and how important it is. Jordan Peele is a genius!
This was a really interesting perspective for racism. Those white people didn't hate black people, they were actually amazed by them (and fetishised them like crazy lol) . Like when Grandma was looking herself on the window, she clearly liked how she looked.
I went into this film not even knowing it was horror, only the vague memories of positive feedback when it came out. And I feel that made the experience even more powerful for me.
I've seen a lot of people break down this movie and talk about it's hidden meaning but this video is the best one so far. I'm really impressed the depth you went into explaining and showing the symbolic nature of this film. This video is a 10/10 for me. Most definitely going to subscribe and favorite this video. Great job guy's 👍
Charles Baylor have you ever wondered if in depth analysis like these are ever coincidental at times and that we are reading things that where not put there intentionally
@@dream6562 That's the case in all forms of media. One of the things I love about writing is getting opinions from other writers. They see stuff in my stories that I didn't even see myself.
Siwatu Garrett agree, but that stupid remake was an insult. The old one is basically about how men want women to be robots irl. Which is true often enough that there are wife beaters and rapists. Both want power over women. Wife beaters are huge on brainwashing. And the indoctrination that women are nothing without some man: *ANY* man, is exactly how you pull it off.
The original Stepford Wives might still be on UA-cam and I definitely recommend watching it if you liked Get Out. Rosemary's Baby is also one of the greatest horror movies hands down. Honestly when I first saw Get Out in theaters, I did think of those two films.
The whole time I was watching Get Out I was thinking of Stepford Wives - can't believe I didn't realise that both protagonists were photographers! What an interesting detail.
Wonderful job! When I got to the end and saw the cop, my already pounding heart dropped. I thought for sure it was a white cop so I was VERY relieved. Everyone regardless of race knew that if it was a white cop, the ending would not go in the protagonist’s favor. Perfect ending, but brought up disturbing emotions.
There is this feeling all POC experienced at this point. We are traumatized and although it was a movie , I literally was scared for him . They will never understand man
This movie is a LOT about mk ultra, or trauma-based mind control, as is the movie Stepford Wives. If you know about it its pretty obvious as all the elements are there (Trauma, disassociation, triggers, programming, mental breakdowns, monarch butterfly...). The fact its not even mentioned in this video shows how little is known about it still.
Thank you precisely my point. MK ultra and project Monarch are not even spoken of as explanations..when the entire premise of the movie was grounded in those two projects of mind control. Everyone was and is caught up with race in the movie..they missed the main point. They’ve perfected the art of manipulating the conscious individual and programming multiple personalities within them. Destroying the human soul and Image of God.
@@saiyasho16 the reason why people resonate so much with racial issues in the film is that race is one of the main recognizable tools that the system (media) uses to create divide within society, love and light
All of this just shows how the media is capable of subtle nuances that control our minds in ways we don't see until later, if we ever see it. This was a very meaningful movie that has so much to tell.
did anyone notice how at first Rose was wearing the color blue which symbolises trustworthiness and out of no where she starts wearing the color red which symbolises danger?
I got the little detail of when grandpas hat fell off and I saw the scar and grandmas scar whilst in the car I watched it again and realised some of these things too Such a good film
This is such an incredible channel! I'm a huge film fan who is surrounded by people who don't know how to watch film and therefore I don't get to engage in the thoughtful conversations that I would like. This is such a huge relief!! 😍
I love how this video pointed at similarities between Get Out, Stepford Wives and Rosemary's Baby. This channel is really great at connecting stories to one another. :)
"We kept a part of her in the kitchen" says Rose's father while the maid (which had rose's grandmother on her) is standing there... Dude, this movie is packed with foreshadows
I haven't seen this movie yet, but I've seen a lot of commentary/material on it. And that image of a horrified Chris crying with his mouth open is one of the most evocative and gripping images I've seen in media. Something about it is so raw and real, it hurts.
This was such an excellent movie AND analysis! It was really beautifully written and made- I picked up on almost of the allusions to history and other movies. The parallels were clear and precise, and as someone who loves analyzing film, tv, and literature, this movie was a dream.
This movie was so chilling to me. It was really interesting to peep the double consciousness that the film projected for white and black audiences respectively.
Your analysis was totally different than other videos I've watched and yet just as valid and that's AMAZING. This movie has so many different meanings and interpretations and layers.
i thought it was really interesting that he used the “innocent” deer to kill the evil patriarch, or the representation of what he’s escaping from. it kind of highlights the bible quote “the meek shall inherit the earth.” theres probably a deeper connection there, and i’d love a conversation on it
I understand when he said he wasn't arrested in the end, but it still bothers me. He still had his hands around her Roses neck, and he touched the gun. just because he got away doesn't really mean anything. Once any police officials find their bodies and check for DNA, It's Chris that they will find. Plus there was witnesses at the party (rich white people) that knew about Chris, and the cop who saw him with Rose in the beginning. Maybe that will come up or not hmm... if there's a part two it would explain that. oh and if Rose died or not. But this movie was amazing, he did a great job!
all true, but at least chris's prints weren't on the trigger, meaning it shouldn't be possible to charge him with any of the shots fired. the part that worries me most is the implication that the house burned down, which would erase a lot of the evidence
i just keep remembering and thinking about different and deeper meanings to everything in this film. truly iconic and such a visionary. peele is a genius
Mira M wolverine dies professor X dies and also has psychic seizures that almost kill everyone. And theres 2 clones of Logan one kills the professor the other is a lil girl logan treats as his daughter
At it's core, I like to think that this film was ultimately trying to show the world that there are these glaring issues in the world with race, etc. with the intent to change that. Make this world a better place. But yet still I see so many hateful and racist comments on here. It's so sad. We will never truly move on and grow as a society when still all of these people have this huge ego problem. They were brainwashed at birth to think one way and that's it. This film really was too smart for some of you.
@@strivingtoonedaybeuseful6049 That doesn't exist. You should explain what you think it is, because there are no results on it that indicate anything specific.
apart from the amazing visuals, Get Out is as good as Rosemary's Baby, The Shining and The Exorcist maybe with a bigger budget Jordan Peele can make a better looking movie
The visuals were still pretty great though. I also noticed that Peele has a musician's ear when it comes to editing. Notice how deliberate some of his cuts are, and how the flow doesn't just tap every beat in a 4/4 rhythm. Far too many filmmakers these days think they just have to cobble together a few shots in a way that seems rhythmical, but the only way for the audience to actually notice the editing, is by composing it like we compose music: changes, diversity, call-and-response and sometimes even poly rhythms. A great example of this is the first hypnosis scene. When Missy says "sink", it's a deliberate rhythmic movement that is hard to explain even in musical terms, but it's a very forward moving little piece of the scene that blends one part into the next. I'm really at a loss for words here, but it gets me in the same way that the intricacies of a great solo does. I'm completely convinced that that particular aspect of film making is more music than cinema, and - without knowing anything about him - I'd wager that Jordan Peele either is, or could easily be a great musician.
One thing I must say. Cotton isn't used as a cushion in seating. Cotton flattens, and doesn't push back. What was inside the armrest of Chris's chair is more likely poly-fill, but isn't cotton at all.
In the car when chris puts her on the phone with rod she said "This is all just a ploy to get to you" and In the end she did offer herself,I mean the details are on another level.
ohh shoot I just noticed, at the beginning he said he doesn't wanna get chased off the lawn with a shot gun, and thats what exactly happened at the end of the movie
And by the woman he said it to.
Hope Williams who said that in the beginning and to whom?
Sweet Jones III Jordan peele confirmed this was true so it doesn’t matter
It was a rifle
Come on now we know what's up with going to KKK. CRIBS!!! SNOW BUNNY using that Pink to get us in a TRAP!!!! SMH...SHE DEVILS!!!
I was so sure he was going to get arrested in the end but i did feel a relief when i saw his buddy
JoeP'sJAS in the original ending he got arrested at the end but they took it out of the movie
JoeP'sJAS I thought he was straight up going to be shot with no defence
They are trying to turn people against each other not against the police. If they divide the can control....
Guess you never saw the alternative ending
"I'm motha-fuckin' TSA!"
This isn't exactly symbolism, but when the black male worker starts running it was hinting at the fact that he was Rose's grandfather since her grandfather was an Olympic sprinter who lost to a black sprinter. I think that was really good foreshadowing.
Yeah i felt like at night he relived his glory days thats why he was running like that
Never thought about that bus Yes!!
@@CookieByNature he was practicing on trying to beat Jesse's time from the race he lost to him

I wanna know why were they so conscious at that time?

Yeah that and the bingo part were so creepy to me
NO SERIOUSLY THAT PART WAS SO CHILLING
i always found it extremely creepy and ironic that the art dealer guy who buys chris' body talks as if chris' talent literally comes from his "eyes" and not his perception, experiences, taste, ect. It just goes further into discrediting black talent and intelligence.
hes blind, he talks about Chris's eyes because he wants to see out of them and regain vision haha
When he says vision, he does mean artistic vision. He emphasizes the word. I art your eye is not just your eyeball but I can see that, lacking that understanding, its even better.
@nico westtie damn didnt realize that
That’s a really good insight. I didn’t think of that
Reaching a bit tbh.
Thank god they changed the ending
I would have been destroyed inside if Chris got arrested
@MrSnow1961 If an artistic work like a movie doesn't give you emotional reactions of many kinds it couldn't be no longer considered art.
But I guess you're one of those guys who get hard by watching the 56th Fast and Furious movie, so yeah ignore this.
@MrSnow1961 Lmao what
arrested? probably shot. DO YOU EVEN NEWS DUDE?
@MrSnow1961 It's not anti-white "Junk," If you bothered to pay attention.
@MrSnow1961 If you call "Facts" brainwashed then I've been brainwashed since I was born.
Two things that break my heart about this movie:
1) Throughout the movie, Chris continues to say “no, it’s okay, it’s alright, I’m used to it” when faced with racism. Maybe because he doesn’t want to be the angry black man, or because he doesn’t want to upset Rose. This negative view on people who get angry at injustice works to keep them in place, and his attempts to put on a smile keep him in the house.
2) Rose’s parents ask him about his parents, but they fucking knew he was an orphan, and that’s why they targeted him. He wouldn’t be missed
Yes to your first point. 100% yes.

“even well intentioned individuals can’t resist the rewards of an unequal society that favors them”. What a way to sum it up !
definitely my favourite part of the video because it is so true and it maybe seems innocent to feel like that but in the end there lies the problem
well, that goes for any race not just white people.
@@swifty1969 It also goes for any standard that doesn't conform. Mental illness, disability, race, nationality etc.
The world is ist to everyone if it is ist to anyone and it's gotta fucking stop.
No one needs horror movies, just look at how fellow human beings displace, ostracize and discriminate one another over the most stupid things.
@@swifty1969 literally nobody said that. and at the end of the day, whiteness is included in that.
@@swifty1969 why did you feel the need to even mention that?
Daniel K's facial expressions were so phenomenal in this film. Its almost as if Jordan peele pulled him aside and told him to literally think of every time in the past he may have had such a horrifying feeling or racist occurrence and bring it ALL to the surface.
You're A JOKE.
Mr. ʎuuǝʞ Y u so angry for😂
soexcessive84 true
He is an excellent actor.
He's just a good actor, I don't think he needs a director to tell him to get in character.
And reliving racism is extremely easy as we experience it daily anyway, so it's not like we're dragging up old memories lmao
It's a shame there's no mention of why Chris went back for the grandmum. He didn't do it because he knew there was another person possibly worth saving. He did it because nobody was there to help his own mum when she was struck by a car, and he didn't want to be the one to do that to somebody else.
Wow, i didn't think of that. Crazy lol
Woaaaa
STAY WOKE STAY LOW BRUTHA ✊🏾
Both actually because they show you her crying while she says that she is happy
when he was choking the girlfriend, he didn’t finish, I think it’s because he wanted her to die alone on the ground like his mother, but he probably stopped because of the cop car.
I think you missed the symbolism of the "silver spoon" in the tea cup and how the mom/therapist uses it to control him. She's using her "wealth" as a method of power. Considering they're shown as a moderately rich Caucasian family.
rickym1081 I'm going to say *VERY* well-off. Look at the house. I don't ever see poor surgeons.
@@josephirizarry5195 I agree, but as the video kind of skirts around, tea is also a symbol of colonialism. Why is "polite" society associated with tea? Because of the British Empire and colonial control of the East. So it's a symbol of genteel society, but also has a much deeper, darker history. She's even drinking it from a china cup that looks ALOT like the classic blue "willow pattern" that became popular in England at the end of the 18th century. That pattern itself was copied from blue-and-white patterns from China, and also ends up emphasizing the idea of wearing another race's "skin" in that the willow pattern is a copy. It's English porcelain pretending to be Chinese. Even if that's not the intended pattern, the pagodas on the teacup in the pivotal hypnosis scene reminds you as you're watching that tea isn't originally British, and that there's a history there of oppression that we ignore. This movie has so many layers. So fucking good.
Actually gold resembles wealth.. Not silver
MåyMåy ÇråyÇråy Yea but when some one is born well-off, we say they were born with a silver spoon in their mouth. The silver spoon signifies wealth.
Also, the cup and saucer pattern is, I believe, Blue Willow, which is an old, slave days, English pattern that is still around today & quite collectible. The British were avid slave traders until William Wilberforce put a halt to it.
it struck me as odd as to how a groundskeeper, Walter is welcoming the guests at the party by hugging them. turns out he wasn't a groundskeeper at all
love the symbolism. hugging? no fucking way.
Just realised Rose stopped the cop from getting Chris' ID because that might interfere with the body snatching when Chris is reported missing...
I honestly think the police was in on everything. The hitting of the deer was staged.
Mz Parker Same, when chris’ friend went to the police and they just laughed him off i thought “damn they’re probably brainwashed as well”
The police wanted to harass or arrest Chris and The white family wanted his body. None of them devils gave a f*ck about Chris.

i did really like it though and i would like to watch it again sometime to fully appreciate it, but maybe next year :)
Me. I watched US and Get Out tonight. Loved them.
Don't marvel! Satan himself transform into an angel of light. If yoh think they're writting on the own accord you need to cut the TV off.
while i was watching this movie i noticed that the eyes of the “slaves” always seemed sad or scared so i started covering the lower half of their faces to test this and damn, it gave me chills
Christ! Now I'm aware of it too! O__O
The eyes are the windows to the soul.
The most powerful moment for me came when the body they'd given to Grandpa regains consciousness & shoots himself in the head. To me that moment said "I'd rather die than have a White person controlling my body." Extremely powerful!
Nicolas Vincent I dunno, I mean, when Georgina cried, I nearly did. That, to me, was particularly poignant and heartwrenching...but also kinda funny. is that sick?

Why specifically a white person? I'd imagine anyone would have that reaction to anyone of any skincolour controlling their body.

i don't really watch horror movie in theater or at home i don't like them but i watched this film in the theater because of all the positive reviews from the critics and i did not regret it!!
because this movie hardly is a horror movie.
xtiechannel because it was nowhere near horror
It’s not a horror movie, it’s a suspense/thriller-type of movie with some added comedic elements. But it’s not a horror movie.
My friend properly categorized this movie. It's not a Horror movie, its a "Woke Movie"

I think it was really interesting that they hit the deer and when the parents learn about the deer they hit, the dad says something along the lines of “oh yes I hate deer they damage the ecosystem there’s too many of them haha can you tell that I feel passionately about this?” . Then it is revealed that Chris’ mom was killed in a hit and run. I think Peel might have used the deer as symbolism to show there deep rooted racism that may not be so openly shared, but is there. Just my thoughts
Exactly what I was thinking
Omg! Nice catch!
Connecting what you just said to the story of how Chris’s mom died and how he was looking at the deer dying shows how good the Director was
Chris used the deer trophy to kill him too
Werent Black Men back in slavery days called Bucks? You know Buck Breaking? Thats the impression i got from all the deer shit in the movie
I remember feeling my heart sank when the cop car rolled up. The way the theater ERUPTED into applause, joy and RELIEF seeing the friend was exhilarating!
Loved the film analysis. Just goes to show the effort Jordan Peele put into this movie. I even got to meet him because of it when he came to my college discussing the film. He described it as the film he never saw being made but wanted so he decided to make it. It was really great seeing it and knowing his insights on everything. Also as a black male who grew up around white people, he really nailed a lot of the social interactions between characters down.
P.S.- Also as a quick disclaimer, to anyone who felt offended by this movie, you're probably one of the people it's talking about.
I hope Jordan does more films. He has talent with film making as much as with comedy.
I agree, but I thought it was cool he managed to keep the film funny as well
Tissan Young
I agree Tissan. BTW, I like your name.
Nisa Sunflower Thanks!
Tissan Young This movie is a fabric of literature, possessing such motive and intent behind its images and filmography. I loved it. On a side note, I believe the teacup is less of a symbol, and more of a motif; it's recurring, unlike a symbol, and it's significant to the movie's interpretation as well. What do you think?
Oh yeah i just remebered that he said "what if your dad chases me with a shotgun" before they go to their house and the ironic thing is that his "girlfriend" was the one that chased him

And 5 year old comment or not, you put it out there so I replied, that’s how it works. Has nothing to do with the age of the comment. Judging by your profile pic you look like you got mental problems though so I won’t hold it against you 🤭
I'm still at a loss for words on the depth of this movie and my feelings toward it. I guess the best way of putting it is that I love how...deliberate it is. There is nothing extraneous in the movie--it all serves an explicit purpose. From the placement of omegas at the front of the house (barely visible for a quick second at the beginning of the movie) signifying the end of blacks that enter, to the cereal consumption at the end, in which the colored (cereal) had to be separate from the white (milk) and no cereal piece could be eaten whole--it had to be broken, snapped in half first--every image, sound, movement served a purpose that actually ADDED to the main idea. Even the manner in which they flipped traditional jumpscares on their head in the sequence featuring the movements of the maid around the house and the gardener's "Get Out challenge" run, accompanied by very sudden jolts of music, as if they were the impending threat, and the quiet as Chris walks back in the house and is accosted by the mother--signifying that not all true threats come with bells and whistles.
I could go on about this movie and its symbolism all day, to be honest (the carrying of Chris to the bottom of the house, strapping up, and conversion process and the parallel to slave process and assimilation was insane), but this comment is already far too long 😂 I just really appreciate this film and all the effort out into it.

I am from India and I belong to a tribe . It's so strange that even in India the " light brown " people call us black .they denied us freedom education everything and they tied us with the strongest chain called "caste "
That is so sad. The white people used the bible to oppress black people, and the caste system was a religious justification too.
i’m indian but part dravidian so i have darker skin than indians portrayed in media, i was born in India but i lived in America almost all my life and people still mistake me for black and i’ve been discriminated as a kid, some people just don’t know anything about white privilege and it’s frustrating
Well, you have to understand thr true history of India. The original Indians were black in fact extremely dark Woolly haired people called the Dravidians who are still there until this very day. But sadly they are on the cusp of extinction. The lighter skinned Indians( the Aryans) didn’t come until much much later
the cup RM throws in the Run MV The Dravidian are the indigenous ( black) population of India. The lighter skinned( Aryan) Indian didn’t come until much much later
Not strange, a product of being colonized by the British
It's interesting to add that, intentionally or not, Rose's character reflects on how we see the Southern Belle's archetype versus real life. The Southern Belle is usually a woman is the fish out of the water who knows the horror of slavery and be the progressive one in the white privilege family. But it turns out that in reality, most of the women were just as bad and vicious as their male counterparts who own and abused their slaves. And this personified in Rose in the modern time.
Or own and control her black friends to manipulate them and carry her families agenda
Thank you for being the most thoughtful and intelligent film analysis on UA-cam
selimword25 but what about when nerdwriter analyzes films? those videos are immensely thoughtful and intellegent analysis'
I find that nerdwriter just talks a lot of pretentious pseudo-intellectual fluff that doesn't really mean anything.
roloug95 really? I myself don't see it, everytime I watch a video of his it makes me appreciate an additional layer of of whatever subject he's talking about. whatever points he makes always really make sense to me in the context of the film or project he's analyzing and add a depth to it that I had personally not noticed. but to each his own I guess.
I really like wisecrack too
Rossatron is really good too.
The Armitage was a slave ship too
Wow. Did not know that
Good note. Didn't realize that

This analysis was very insightful and I really like the graze on how hypersexualizing black men is still in and of itself a form of objectification and dehumanization and promotes the idea of using that to the advantage of a white person
The scene where rose is on the bed she is eating cereal with the colored cereal and the white milk separated who else caught that :0
una ? That is genius
That was disturbingly true I didn't like that at ALL cause that's what it is out here in this country!!!! FACTS!!! Look at what's going on right now!!!!
Jordan Peele said that he didn’t do that to show how white doesn’t mix with color but to show Rose’s twisted personality
Weird bitch who does that
@@pico2722 this makes sence. Otherwise there would be chocolate cereals. I don´t know whats going on in the US with all the racist shit, but every human has a color. It seems to me, that some people have guilty conscience because they are white (sandcolored xD)....just my oppinion
*The dad speaking about deers and how they need to eliminate them is speaking more peoples perspectives on immigrants and minority, he also takes about hiding the "BLACK" mold which was a foreshadow of Chris being put in the sunken place and taking him out of his state of mind and Rose not wanting Chris to not show his license wasn't to defend him but so that when he is taken for supposedly forever, he would't connected with being with Rose and their family, Also it wasn't just a coincidence that all the visitors had black vans*
Star Streamer nah i don’t agree with the first point
The reference about deer at the beginning is about Black people, too.
When Black people were enslaved, they were referred to in deer terminology. Men were “bucks,” women were “does.”
When Chris’s mother was struck by a car, she bled out on the side of the road and nobody cared to help or noticed her. That’s why Chris stayed behind with the deer. The deer both represents Chris’s mother and the hunting/death/murder of Black people as a whole.
An irony of Get Out is that it was filmed outside of Mobile AL, where I was born. Mobile was the very last city to officially shut down its slave trade, they held out and kept selling slaves for as long as they could. I'm sure it wasn't a conscious choice, but it ads an interesting factor.
Man! That sounds intentional! It of course might be just a coincidence, but I think not.
@@Logitah Mobile and the surrounding areas are an increasingly popular place to film for the scenic locations and low costs. It would have been cool if it was intentional, but I feel like it was probably for budget or scenery reasons.
Huh... Well, it adds to the interesting details anyway! :D
They did use a house that hearkened back to the white columns of historical slave plantations. The wide, columned, verandah house in this movie is still a housing style in the south. So I was always confused about this being set in the northeast, or within a day's drive anyway of whatever major city they're living in. Because I've never seen that housing style in the northeast. But it's still the predominant style for wealthy homes in the south. Filming outside of Mobile explains how they achieved that. Glad you mentioned this.
you were right on about most of it. But her denying the policeman to see his ID wasn't an act of tolerance what so ever. We already know she's tolerant, or she wouldn't be with a black guy, or they wouldnt of had the "do your parents know im black" talk. He denying the police officer was technically the first hint she's a villain, thats one less witness who isnt in on it, especially since hes someone who could do something about this operation and would recognize the guy if he turned up on a missing poster.
Russtastic Voyage : 0 Oh shit ! thats right !!!
Her denying the police officer is an example of white people intervening on "behalf" of black people instead of letting black people help themselves.
HaloofCurls no its so they cant trace him back to her if he shows up missing
That may be the explicit meaning as shown in the film but the implicit is her jumping in when he didn't think it was a big deal. She got super offended while he didn't seem to care very much. This whole video is about the symbolism, not the explicit meaning.
yea he definitely showed both in the film.it shows the ones who are most offended and protective could just have those views themselves. like how people say when someone is overly worried about you cheating on them most likely they're cheating themselves ,they throw that guilt onto you so they can feel like a less worse person. some white people get so offended about stuff we could care less about as if they're our "friend" but completly ignore big causes like black lives matter and spit out well all lives matter I don't see color lol.those type of people make me uneasy because they're like roses character sneaky and passive aggressive. atleast when your dealing with blunt racism you know how to deal with it,but how can you deal with someone who's passive aggressive and pretends to be on your side it's like a mind fuck.
I thought the ending was brilliant. He could have gone for the bleaker alternative and that would also make a good ending. But the fear we feel for Chris when we see the red and blue lights before we know it's Rod is quite enough to convey the message. Making him go to jail would just hammer that down even further. The ending is good because it takes us on a roller coaster of emotions: fear of the cop car, relief for seeing Chris catch a break and laughter at the idea of TSA being badass.
This movie was so meaningful... I love my blackness but it is also a never-ending struggle

another note worthy thing that i and others have noticed is that in the film, during the gathering at the house, we notice theres one asian man there amongst all the white people. the asian man represents how asians too have participated in anti blackness. also, this was the best video i've seen on analyzing of a film!!

when georgina goes to clean chris's room, is there any theory around her trying to disable the flash on the phone?
PillsburyDoughBoy Oh wow! I really did not think of that and I've watched it several times now. It's nice to rewatch movies like Get Out because you do tend to pick up on little details you miss like this. Got anymore for me?
This are questions that can be perfectly answered by a blackperson especially blackmen. Georgina as you know is the grandma/white racism system, she deliberately unplugs his phone so as for Chrisnot to get access to the outside world and influences. When whitefolks are trying to whitewash the token black in their circle, they try to keep him in check each time he tries to get informed about who he is. I know you don't get it and probably never will unless you are black. Get offended all you want but, you wanted the truth.
It's grandma trying to keep Chris disconnected from the outside world, essentially being his reduction from a free individual member of our society to a mere vessel.
Chris is the item they are all there to bid on. I feel like that scene is about lust and desire to own and consume Chris - they lust to own his body as theirs. They're drawn to him like hungry jackal's looking at a meal.
prncesstrish They want him, want to be him. Many blacks have a swagger that whites and other races usually admire, but there is a thin line between admiration and appropriation. They have more of an "I want it, I will take it" mindset. We are seen as things to benefit off of.
Ex.
Miley Cyrus is much like them looking up to blacks. But instead of admiration, she appropriated blacks, and garnered nothing but attention for herself and her gain. She tried to act like stereotypical black women and do "black" things or even speak ghetto like. But now that it has run out of use, she rejects it.
The plot did not break out into an "full out race war" 5:13 as you put it. Chris was fighting for his life.
and the lives of the rest of us
+Sylverine Albertina
How was he fighting for "the lives of the rest of us"?
LordVader1094 So the Armitages couldn't do that to anyone else.
@@LordVader1094 - Not "us" and in all of us. But "us" as in "Black people", since they were the ones being lured into that situation and being taken over by white people.
Ironically, Peele's next movie is called "Us", which looks like to be a metaphor on how Blacks have to fight a constant battle within themselves to stay alive.
@@finisher3x he's stated that the commentary for Us will have nothing to do with race
So at the beginning he says "I don't want to be chased off the lawn with a shotgun" referring to her father... isn't it ironic that at the end SHE ends up chasing him off the lawn with a shotgun? I need to watch this whole movie again.
just artsy things It was a rifle not a shotgun.
I’ve never seen a horror film where the “monster” isn’t your typical cliche of demons, vampires, serial killers, etc but rather the “monster” was racism itself..I feel this movie opens the door to explore what we as a society really deem as “scary”..can’t wait to see if or when other movies follow suit
Does Chris exhibit any racist or social bias toward other characters in the film?
No wonder Peele won an Oscar for this screenplay.
"STAY OUT" sequel coming 2020.
it's better off untouched, a sequel can be a risk
starts with the missing persons case into 'the abducted guy in the first scene who was later at the auction' case
jason reds yes!
I have no idea what The Conjuring is but (that's not true, I've heard of it, I just don't see new movies often because...) sequel culture has been ruining movies since the 80s. Even further back but that was when they really commercialized the idea into an empire.
Lol
This analyzation was insightful and well put. Amazing video.
Just E wanna come to my house im white , i would really like to if WE JOIN TOGEATHER aaaaaa i mean join in tea party togeather and watch some movies
This is amazing!!! Your breakdown is so precise and analytical. Man, the comparisons to Stepford and Rosemary were brilliant because of how much inspiration Jordan drew from them. I love him so much- such a talented man. This really isn't a movie you can only watch once. Truly chilling.
This why you my favourite channel♥️
In the theater watching this, at the end everybody started clapping when his homeboy showed up in the end.
One of my favourite scenes from this movie is when Rose is eating fruity loops and milk separately while looking up promising black athletes. In movies and in our societies as well women are never perceived as creepy or inappropriate when they make sexual advances, but this scene managed to give me the creeps with 0 dialogue. Just showing her perversion of fetishizing black people was enough to convey that creepy feeling. Absolutely great!
I felt more like it was transactional rather than fetishizing...she seemed so cold. With a fetish there's usually some passion involved.
Best film of 2017 so far.
Still is.
its 2018 where I am and yep, no one beat it.
We shall see soon enough - it's nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards! I hope it wins!
Must have been a very shitty year then, thx for the heads up
I agree - best picture of 2017.
10:19 - Chris and Rose's outfits resemble the American flag.
GENIUS EYE!
Maddd this movie is too much
this video proves that I wasn't really paying attention to the movie
This is the type of movie that everyone needs to watch at least 2 times to pick up the hints and hidden meanings.
It's not your fault. You live in the sunken place.
I first watched in the Arctic I walked out when it was over and looked freaked out, a group of Inuit girls giggled at me. haha
This was a great analysis, but there are so many more things to analyze, and things you left out of the video. That just shows how detailed, and well thought out this movie is, and how important it is. Jordan Peele is a genius!
After the operation..
Grandpa: always wearing a cap
Logan: just wearing a hat
Grandma: always sure her hair on point
WOW YES!
Wow this is your best video. So insightful. When I rewatch this movie I will be on the lookout for the symbols
the part when giving the tour and they say " we keep a piece of our mother in here. as it pans over georgina
He had such beautiful skin
Star Cherry I know. That’s Ugandans for you. 😏😁
His skin is gorgeous
He's also cute
Also there's a lot of mind control symbolism,such as personality splitting through trauma and hypnosis.
This movie is the work of a genius.
This was a really interesting perspective for racism. Those white people didn't hate black people, they were actually amazed by them (and fetishised them like crazy lol) . Like when Grandma was looking herself on the window, she clearly liked how she looked.
I went into this film not even knowing it was horror, only the vague memories of positive feedback when it came out. And I feel that made the experience even more powerful for me.
I've seen a lot of people break down this movie and talk about it's hidden meaning but this video is the best one so far. I'm really impressed the depth you went into explaining and showing the symbolic nature of this film. This video is a 10/10 for me.
Most definitely going to subscribe and favorite this video. Great job guy's 👍
Charles Baylor have you ever wondered if in depth analysis like these are ever coincidental at times and that we are reading things that where not put there intentionally
@@dream6562 That's the case in all forms of media. One of the things I love about writing is getting opinions from other writers. They see stuff in my stories that I didn't even see myself.
This was a really great analysis! Now I have to see Rosemary's Baby and the old Stepford Wives for context!
Siwatu Garrett agree, but that stupid remake was an insult. The old one is basically about how men want women to be robots irl. Which is true often enough that there are wife beaters and rapists. Both want power over women. Wife beaters are huge on brainwashing. And the indoctrination that women are nothing without some man: *ANY* man, is exactly how you pull it off.
The original Stepford Wives might still be on UA-cam and I definitely recommend watching it if you liked Get Out. Rosemary's Baby is also one of the greatest horror movies hands down.
Honestly when I first saw Get Out in theaters, I did think of those two films.
I'm pretty sure commentaries like this one are almost as important as the movie itself. Thanks for a great video, I'm subscribing 👍🏾
Boss Man because movies like this are beyond movies.......its Literature at its best!!
The whole time I was watching Get Out I was thinking of Stepford Wives - can't believe I didn't realise that both protagonists were photographers! What an interesting detail.
Wonderful job! When I got to the end and saw the cop, my already pounding heart dropped. I thought for sure it was a white cop so I was VERY relieved. Everyone regardless of race knew that if it was a white cop, the ending would not go in the protagonist’s favor. Perfect ending, but brought up disturbing emotions.
If it was any cop it wouldnt have gone well.
There is this feeling all POC experienced at this point. We are traumatized and although it was a movie , I literally was scared for him . They will never understand man
Bri00 there’s actually an alternative ending where Chris does get arrested but I’m so glad Jordan Peele chose this ending❤️
very interesting movie, far better than I expected.
One of my favorite movies (so far) this year!
"Not paranoid enough"
I was at paranoid level 8. I just increased it to 9.5
This movie is a LOT about mk ultra, or trauma-based mind control, as is the movie Stepford Wives. If you know about it its pretty obvious as all the elements are there (Trauma, disassociation, triggers, programming, mental breakdowns, monarch butterfly...). The fact its not even mentioned in this video shows how little is known about it still.
THANK YOU
I was going through the comments to see if anyone picked up all the elements of MK ultra. Boy all this people are still in a slumber
Thank you precisely my point. MK ultra and project Monarch are not even spoken of as explanations..when the entire premise of the movie was grounded in those two projects of mind control. Everyone was and is caught up with race in the movie..they missed the main point. They’ve perfected the art of manipulating the conscious individual and programming multiple personalities within them. Destroying the human soul and Image of God.
@@saiyasho16 the reason why people resonate so much with racial issues in the film is that race is one of the main recognizable tools that the system (media) uses to create divide within society, love and light
movie is one of the best i’ve seen in a while but i low key could not stop admiring how beautiful his skin is
Can't blame ya! :D
All of this just shows how the media is capable of subtle nuances that control our minds in ways we don't see until later, if we ever see it. This was a very meaningful movie that has so much to tell.
did anyone notice how at first Rose was wearing the color blue which symbolises trustworthiness and out of no where she starts wearing the color red which symbolises danger?
Wow good catch
I got the little detail of when grandpas hat fell off and I saw the scar and grandmas scar whilst in the car
I watched it again and realised some of these things too
Such a good film
This is such an incredible channel! I'm a huge film fan who is surrounded by people who don't know how to watch film and therefore I don't get to engage in the thoughtful conversations that I would like. This is such a huge relief!! 😍
Thanks for watching Sheryl!!
I love how this video pointed at similarities between Get Out, Stepford Wives and Rosemary's Baby. This channel is really great at connecting stories to one another. :)
"We kept a part of her in the kitchen" says Rose's father while the maid (which had rose's grandmother on her) is standing there... Dude, this movie is packed with foreshadows
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING ON THIS THANK GOD
the end scared me so much when i thought they'd arrest chris
Wow this was a beautiful observation..OMG wow
I haven't seen this movie yet, but I've seen a lot of commentary/material on it. And that image of a horrified Chris crying with his mouth open is one of the most evocative and gripping images I've seen in media. Something about it is so raw and real, it hurts.
Watched this at 1am and now I can't sleep to save my life... 🤤 JORDAN PEELE, I WANT MORE MOVIES!!!
Great analysis! I am so glad they used the ending they actually used. The alternate (original) one was so obvious and expected...
This was such an excellent movie AND analysis! It was really beautifully written and made- I picked up on almost of the allusions to history and other movies. The parallels were clear and precise, and as someone who loves analyzing film, tv, and literature, this movie was a dream.
This movie was so chilling to me. It was really interesting to peep the double consciousness that the film projected for white and black audiences respectively.
Your analysis was totally different than other videos I've watched and yet just as valid and that's AMAZING. This movie has so many different meanings and interpretations and layers.
i thought it was really interesting that he used the “innocent” deer to kill the evil patriarch, or the representation of what he’s escaping from. it kind of highlights the bible quote “the meek shall inherit the earth.” theres probably a deeper connection there, and i’d love a conversation on it
That was pretty impressive. I liked your views on the subtext of this great movie! Gave me alternative insights, thanks!
This movie is ALL subtext and it's amazing
Sorry for my lack of better vocabulary. But this video was fucking bomb! Analysis on point. Just fucking BOMB.
I understand when he said he wasn't arrested in the end, but it still bothers me. He still had his hands around her Roses neck, and he touched the gun. just because he got away doesn't really mean anything. Once any police officials find their bodies and check for DNA, It's Chris that they will find. Plus there was witnesses at the party (rich white people) that knew about Chris, and the cop who saw him with Rose in the beginning. Maybe that will come up or not hmm... if there's a part two it would explain that. oh and if Rose died or not. But this movie was amazing, he did a great job!
not today
Ikr.
Fun fact. The original ending of Get Out was suppose to be that Chris got arrested.
all true, but at least chris's prints weren't on the trigger, meaning it shouldn't be possible to charge him with any of the shots fired. the part that worries me most is the implication that the house burned down, which would erase a lot of the evidence
i just keep remembering and thinking about different and deeper meanings to everything in this film. truly iconic and such a visionary. peele is a genius
ive seen all three of these movies and never saw a connection until now ! thank you for your intelligence 🌻
It's not a horror movie....it is a psychological thriller.
One of the Best Film of 2017 that I've seen along with Logan.
truee
Mira M wolverine dies professor X dies and also has psychic seizures that almost kill everyone. And theres 2 clones of Logan one kills the professor the other is a lil girl logan treats as his daughter
Mira M I need to watch it as well😕
triigga s thanks, I really needed to know that *before* I watched it.👌🏾
Toney M. Absolutely. Probably my #3 right now behind John Wick 2 and Baby Driver.
this was the best breakdown of Get Out On UA-cam
This is an incredible analysis of "Get Out". It made the film clearer.
This is the best in-depth explanation of this film on the internet.
At it's core, I like to think that this film was ultimately trying to show the world that there are these glaring issues in the world with race, etc. with the intent to change that. Make this world a better place. But yet still I see so many hateful and racist comments on here. It's so sad. We will never truly move on and grow as a society when still all of these people have this huge ego problem. They were brainwashed at birth to think one way and that's it. This film really was too smart for some of you.
@@hildegardvonbingen9092 I get what you are saying.... but I feel like the movie is talking about agenda 26... look it up. It is fascinating
@@strivingtoonedaybeuseful6049 That doesn't exist. You should explain what you think it is, because there are no results on it that indicate anything specific.
one of the best horror movies i've ever seen. the comedy of Rod was not out of place at all. I look forward to future Peel films!
Wow. I thought I understood the symbolism but you added much more. Thanks.
I wonder why no one ever says anything about how the movie skeleton key gave this movie ideas too
havent seen the movie, but this analysis was so dope. now i have to
Do it!
apart from the amazing visuals, Get Out is as good as Rosemary's Baby, The Shining and The Exorcist
maybe with a bigger budget Jordan Peele can make a better looking movie
Dimitri Bitu Definitely, he's a true, creative genius!
The visuals were still pretty great though. I also noticed that Peele has a musician's ear when it comes to editing. Notice how deliberate some of his cuts are, and how the flow doesn't just tap every beat in a 4/4 rhythm. Far too many filmmakers these days think they just have to cobble together a few shots in a way that seems rhythmical, but the only way for the audience to actually notice the editing, is by composing it like we compose music: changes, diversity, call-and-response and sometimes even poly rhythms.
A great example of this is the first hypnosis scene. When Missy says "sink", it's a deliberate rhythmic movement that is hard to explain even in musical terms, but it's a very forward moving little piece of the scene that blends one part into the next. I'm really at a loss for words here, but it gets me in the same way that the intricacies of a great solo does. I'm completely convinced that that particular aspect of film making is more music than cinema, and - without knowing anything about him - I'd wager that Jordan Peele either is, or could easily be a great musician.
can you make one about the show Atlanta
Yes!
fuck, I'd die of happiness
One thing I must say. Cotton isn't used as a cushion in seating. Cotton flattens, and doesn't push back. What was inside the armrest of Chris's chair is more likely poly-fill, but isn't cotton at all.
I literally get so disappointed when the videos are over. This channel is amazing! I could listen to them for hours!!
In the car when chris puts her on the phone with rod she said "This is all just a ploy to get to you" and In the end she did offer herself,I mean the details are on another level.
