Really pleased by this movie. I thought the trailer looked a bit underwhelming, but the final product is great. I'm really interested to see what direction Peele takes with his career.

Absolutely loved the film.

The one thing that doesn't make a ton of sense in retrospect: the grandparents are transplanted into new bodies... and then act like freak shows. Are we supposed to assume they "pretend" to be the help on the weekend that they bring a new prey over?

But why?

And does the transplant not remotely work or something? Because neither "grandparent" seemed to be holding it together.

I've been thinking about this.

At first I thought they were being weird because they weren't actors, and were nervous about playing their roles, but some stuff just seems too strange. Was Walter/Grandpa really just exercising in the middle of the night? Was he just crazy excited about having a young, fit body?

Yeah, that's exactly what I thought. Grandpa was up running because still partially salty over never being able to beat Jesse Owens in the preliminary races before Berlin and secondary, he felt that Black people didn't make the most of their genetics and while Walter might have been asleep at those hours, Grandpa wasn't going to "waste" those genetics.

After putting some thought into it; I think it's merely that the surgery leaves everyone a barely functioning zombie of sorts. The grandma wanders around the house doing "house wife" duties, so her "cover" is an easy enough explanation. The "grandpa" does what a fit young man would do; and maybe he enjoyed tending to the property in his youth?

There's still slight "hindsight after the twist" issues here and there, but it works well enough.

edit: And ah yeah, the Jesse Owens story, good point.

Oh, shit. I completely forgot about the Jesse Owens bit. That's actually pretty cool and clever.

Lol you could have just said he was running because he use to be an Olympic sprinter and couldn't run in his old age before the body swap. Specifically swapping into a black body was probably because he was salty/jealous of Jesse Owens

The transplant reveal changes a lot of scenes and makes me want to rewatch the movie. When you realize he was perfectly lucid "Grandpa" and purposely trying to frighten Chris in the middle of the night, and not just a crazed maniac running through the night...

It could have been his running routine.
 
ElBoxyBrown said:

Yeah, it was probably part of his routine from when he was a young Olympian to have nightly runs. But the part where he dashed like a madman right towards Chris and made a 90-degree turn literally feet from his face? I thought he was just crazy when it seemed like they were brainwashed people. But after the brain reveal it becomes clear he was showing off and trying to scare him on purpose.

Same with Andrew handshaking a fistbump. In the trailer it's like, oh robotic brainwashed person. But no, it's old white man inside young black body.
 
I read the running scene differently.

To me it was Walter breaking loose temporarily and running toward Chris to warn him and Grandpa getting control back right before and covering it up with his running routine.

I'm 100% positive it was Grandad using the body to run fast as fuck boi
 
I don't like horror movies so I knew I wasn't going to see this. Looked up spoilers. Now I wish I had just braved it because this sounds incredible.
 
yall i just saw the movie and I immediately thought of a meme I wanted to share with y'all



WOT N HYPNOTISATION

okay, that's done. I loved that movie. God it was good.
 
If there is a sequel, it could be an Exorcist like plot where Chris and TSA bro have to find all the black people in their neighborhood that visited the family and exorcize the white people out of them.
 
DrEvil said:
Only thing that bothered me about the film is what happened to Andre?

All the 'inhabited' black folk got killed, the entire family presumably gets wiped out, but andre is the only other black dude who wasn't 'part of the family' (i.e. related body snatcher), and at the end of the film his thread is left dangling.. he went home to his wife and that's that.
Click to expand...

he will either stay that way or accidently get triggered back in control through flashes (photo or lightning) and they won't be able to give the old white guy control again b/c the mom is dead
 
Finally read through this thread and any analysis of the movie I had has pretty much been said already. One thing I haven't seen specificly mentioned in regard to the blind guy representing the "color blind" person was that when he was talking to Chris he says, "Don't lump me in with them. I don't care what color you are. I just want your eyes." Like he's about to steal his body but he just can't help himself from saying," I'm not racist."

Also the movie was terrifying on so many levels, but as someone who has bouts of sleep paralysis, "the sunken place" was really scary.

People here and around the internet have definitely talked about blind man being "color blind"

you could stretch that analogy to separating white (milk) from mental illness/psychopathy (loops/loopy)

Even wilder when you realize she was drinking the milk through a black straw.

While it's definitely more a thriller, it absolutely still qualifies as horror to me. White folks kidnapping niggas to be young, strong, and cool while the black people see it all from inside their bodies? Pls no, just kill me.
 
LionPride said:

Well yes it's in the first few pages of the thread. I worded it confusingly for sure. I'm just saying that I didn't see anyone call out that specific scene as related to him representing the "color blind" person.
 
Just caught this at the theater with my family today and was not disappointed. The trailers looked hilarious and unsurprisingly, we were laughing through most of the film. Gotta love that the plot is literally centered around the idea that "everybody wanna be a n----, but nobody wanna be a n----". The great social commentary and spot on reactions from Daniel Kaluuya and Rel Howery kept me howling throughout. There were legitimately tense scenes as well, and I think the film works as a thriller, but I appreciate that Peele didn't go completely straightfaced with the tone. A very enjoyable satire.
 
Finally saw this movie and holy shit brehs. Holy shit! When things started clicking for me and I was figuring out the reveals before they happened, it just became a great ride. Analyzing it on the way home and I couldn't help but just realize how brilliantly put together the movie is. Every scene, every conversation, a deliberately placed piece of the puzzle with no filler.

Watching it a second time is going to be so fun.

Man, the sunken place was terrifying. Especially considering how I've felt something similar in sleep paralysis. But shit that was terrifying.
Click to expand...

They did a really good job at making him/the audience feel helpless there. I've never experienced sleep paralysis, thank goodness, but that first scene with it was legit making me lose my breath.
 
Just saw it last night... phenomenal. The only thing I don't understand is why the camera flash releases people from their paralysis. Did I miss something there?
 
Was it ever stated if the Japanese guy was someone that fell victim to them?
Couldn't remember if I saw him or not in the photos.

It's ironic. He was the one person who actually wanted Chris for someone that wasn't about his skin. I thought it was an interesting touch. The person who paid for you is also the person most interested in what you have to offer as a person. I wouldn't say it's colour blindness, but he was the only person there who did not lie to Chris. In his two conversations, he told him he admired his art followed by giving the details of what is happening.

He was definitely another bidder. His character was definitely based around a minority trying to be white and white people having that token minority friend to show diversity.

It's a horror film all the way. The 90s and 00s changed people's idea that a horror movie is evil spirits and homicidal serial killers doing lots of jump scares. Get Out has more in common with Rosemary's Baby or a Stephen King story.

He and the woman who felt up Chris had foreign accents. I took that as an indication that the family's kidnapping business has widespread reach and international clients.

Yeah I don't know why people say it's not horror; the entire movie revolves around creeping you out. And every horror film is basically "also a thriller."

If a thriller movie attempts to creep you the fuck out, it's a horror movie lol.

Take the extreme gore out of something like Hostel, and it isn't much different than Get Out.

Second. I had two days off so I went today since I really wanted to see it, but the wife and I are going to see Logan tomorrow. I definitely want to see this again and I may even take her Sunday morning.

I knew from what people told me I'd love this movie but...holy shit. I didn't think I'd love it THIS MUCH. It's definitely up there as one of the best horror movies I've ever seen.
 
Fuck, this movie was great. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a movie theater.

The sunken place visual was amazing.

I almost the entire place to clap when the white girl got shot. It made the old white lady next to me visibly uncomfortable.
 
I was able to catch this movie after work, mostly because I overslept and thus worked later :S

I'm so glad I did. And I'm happy to read this thread afterwards to see the little things I missed.
 
Just saw this a few hours ago. One bit that I thought was really well done was Andre (or whoever's in his body at that point) saying that he didn't like to leave the house. At that point in the movie, things still point to him being a hypnotized puppet, so it makes sense that he didn't have any interest in doing anything but serving his wife.

When you find out that it's a brain transplant, you realize that the old white man that he used to be, doesn't like the experience of being black in public. It's very subtle, but it works really well.
 
Finally got to see it today, had to wait until peoples schedules all synced up. Had to go to an out-of-town theater too, although they had this really good raspberry iced tea there...

Anyway, amazing film, it's been awhile since I was so intensely interested in something from start to finish. Movie had some of the most tense scenes I've ever seen, the hypnosis, the keys, the "cop" car at the end. Even movies in my all time favorites I'm rarely so glued to the screen on.

People seem to want another but that seems unwise and....really difficult to do considering the plot seems central around the dad being this high end neurosurgeon and that family hypnosis secret, coagula or whatnot. I mean I guess you could manage but I think Peele should just start fresh.

Psychological Thriller fits way better- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_thriller The focus on "what is happening here/what is in my head vs what is real" stuff is straight out of that genre- the Hitchcock comparisons are because of this.

(Peele also has referred to the film as a "Social Thriller")
 
Just saw it, wow.

I was the only black guy in the theatre, after the movie an older white lady came up to me to let me know how startled she was by the movie.

I just got out too.

Spoke to a black guy who was in the theater and we talked about how great it was, afterwards. I ended the conversation with, "and don't worry, I know Tiger."

We had a good chuckle.

he hates me now, doesn't he

BuzzFeed made a list of things you might have missed in the film (yeah, I know).

Anyway, the reason I'm posting it is because earlier someone asked about the cereal scene:

"The image of Rose eating Froot Loops and milk separately can be seen as a metaphor for never mixing nonwhite and white things."
Click to expand...

There are some gems in the comment section.

"Another major one coming, anytime the black characters (including Chris) seemed like they were "out of line" for actually coming to their senses the white response was "You just need some rest". What is clearly the opposite of that? to STAY WOKE!"
