I knew she was no good when he found those pictures in her room. Then she had the nerve to google top NBA prospects. Never trust a chick that eats a fruit loop then sips some milk instead eating a bowl of cereal.
reshaun jhannet I knew she was no good when she told Chris that she didn't tell her family she was dating a black man.....Also, did anyone peep how there was no smoke detector in the house lol Rose was upstairs unbothered while the house on fire lol
Phillip Jackson she was not hypnotized. She was in on it, that's there family business, and they even did that to help the grandparents live longer. Idk how you got the idea that her and the brother were hypnotized. They're as much bat shit crazy as their parents the people they serve their "product" to.
when Chris was talking to that blind guy outside he said he wasn't like the other people at the party (racist). he also said it again when he was telling Chris what was going to happen to him in the basement. he said please do not group me into that group I could care less what race you are I just want to see. This could be telling the audience that being silent on racism because it's not effecting you or is overtly benefiting you is still a form of racism. Also the blind guy was using cognitive dissonance by saying no i am not like that racist group. Just how like white america used cognitive dissonance to help justify slavery because it was benefiting them. You can still see this used today when unarmed black males are killed at a higher rate then armed white males. People say well that black man should of put his hands up, not ran, "black on black crime" is more of an issue,etc.
He definitely represented those "I don't see color/I'm color-blind" ass people. Those ones who say they aint racist or don't see race, but legit covertly, if not overtly, contribute to the oppression of Black people and other poc.
Rose acted her ass off - I kept thinking of ways her family kept this from her esp after her defense of Chris with the cop...but when she told Chris - "you know I can't give you the keys baby" - I almost fell out of my seat - she was COLD. And he was so sprung, he still didn't want to believe it and couldn't even kill her after all that!
Carmen Pearson I knew something was up with Rose once they made it to her family's house. Like how can you act so nonchalant of all the weird shit that was going on. Your mother wanted to hypnotize your bf on the first day of meeting him & then the family maid keeps tryna let your bf's phone go dead.
Carmen Pearson right!!!! When her parents was acting weird in the living room and she was doing all that crying and sniffling, I knew she was bout to flip.
I had a feeling Rose was in on it from the very beginning of it....I absolutely knew she was in on it when Chris found the pictures of Rose with all those other black dudes including Walter and Georgina
I think I learned a few things by watching this movie. 1) I am incredibly naive. Even when I saw the pictures she had with the old boyfriends, I literally still thought okay she has to be hypnotized because she seems to really love Chris. I realized that she represented the modern day racist. She's the person that'll make a life with you but still in the back of her mind say racist shit because she truly thinks nothing of you. She was attractive, seemed to be "seeing" the subliminal racist shit done to Chris and was "appalled" but in the back in her mind is screaming, "I agree!". 2) Racist white people secretly admire black people. Why else would they choose to be US in their next life? Why would they choose to be something they despise? It's truly a contradiction. You'll be us in your next lives but no you won't integrate us into your family, you'll treat us like the slaves you think we should be by relegating your own mother and father to a MAID and a GARDENER that you get to boss around however you see fit. Why? To save face! Because two black people couldn't possibly be part of your family. 3) Chris represents a lot of black people in America. We'll see the subtle racism and instead of calling someone out on it, we sit back and let it ride while they try to find anything they consider black to talk about. I think a lot of people just try to see the good in it and say oh well at least their trying. When in fact, they are actually enforcing every stereotype that THEY came up with. 4) Best point: The family and neighbors were LIBERALS. They are the people you'd never expect to be racist. They weren't red necks. They were educated, talked about black issues, brought people over to meet there daughters black boyfriend albeit snubbing him the whole time. I think this movie showed you that racists can come in all faces.
This movie also demonstrated so many fears. The fear of the health care system (surgery and psychiatry) because those two things have been used to harm black people historically. The Father was a surgeon. The Mother was psychiatrist who understood hypnosis.
I'm watching Get Out for the second time and it just stuck out to me that Rose and her family really wanted Chris to stop the smoking habit so he could be as healthy as possible due to the organ harvesting that they were planning the entire time in the movie. I might be stretching it a little bit, but that's something to think about LOL. I got a little annoyed at the scene with the Asian guy, who asked the question about what are the advantages and disadvantages for being an African American in the modern world? That was symbolic to show you that Asians feel more superior than black folks and feel like they are equivalent to whites. Also, the scene were the TSA and Rose were on the phone talking about Chris going missing had me like WTF because she goes on to say the TSA wanted to f*** her. White women have this mindset that everyone wants them because they are on a pedestal (as a trophy). Rose played on that. Chris ignored all the red flags throughout this entire movie out of love and respect for Rose. She manipulated the hell out of him to get him where she wanted him. Key word: Mind control, but that's off topic. When she struggled to pull out those keys after she stopped at the middle of the stairs, I knew she was full of it. I really enjoyed this movie. It's a wake up call for everybody!
Rose flipped the script and did not have any remorse on what she did, she was searching for NBA prospects for her family's fucked up project, eating fruit loops and drinking white milk separately (cause she is to racist to even eat colored food and white milk together) while listening to " Ive had the time of my life" With her straight perfect posture and perfect little life!
Look y'all it had me looking at white people differently when it was over I walked out the theater door crowd of white people standing there lol I rushed to my car so damn fast and I'm 7 months pregnant zooming
Rose was soo good at acting I literally believed her till the very end when she said you know I cant give you the keys right. That reference Rose's dad made about deers was like how he basically felt about black people. Rod is the man I need in my life he is a true ride or die and he told us the plot line from the very beginning "they brainwashing black dudes and using then as sex slaves" he stay it twice too like damn.
Great review. I saw the movie as an macrocosm of our society. How advertisers trigger us into the sunken place and we find ouselves trapped, buying stuff we don't need, getting into debt, and having so little regard for the value of life. It's as though we're trapped and have lost contact with our humanity. Our society must GET OUT of our low conciousness and rise to a higher plane of understanding and compassion for one another.
A good psychological thriller. I laughed when he saw old lady reaching for her hypnotizing tea cup, he ran over and broke that cup, no more sinking into the floor for him 😂
See Georgina and the grounds keeper and the guy from atl had white minds but still had black soul and heart. You could see in their faces that their eyes were saying the exact opposite of what their mouths were.
I knew Rose was no good because Peele made a point to hit us with a loud " STAY WOKE" when the camera hit her face at the beginning of the movie. I was like "I gotchu bruh! I ain't trusting this bitch!" Lol.
Whiitne Bella it reminded me so much of the original "Stepford wives" which was a horror film with a message for feminism and this film was definitely one for racism. Jordan did that with this one
Jordan Peele did his THING in this movie. I always loved his comedy skits but never thought he had this much talent for such a deep issue. I APPLAUD this man. Very talented.
yes when the dad started going off about the deer i knew what this crazy ass white family was up to!! and that auction was creepy as hell i was not up for that
I cannot get that scene out of my head at all! That scene had me soooooo SHOOK LMAO! It looked like Chris sold for $10 million....I have to see the movie again lol
In end when T S MOTHERFUCKIN A (😂)showed up !he was ready to raise his hands because he thought it was the police , that's some fucked up shit ,he was so used to being a black man and having to be on defense mode when it comes to the police even when he's done nothing wrong. Idk if that was on purpose but that's how interpreted that scene. That was a powerful scene for me.
MsMartinaD Exactly!! I left the movie scratching my head. Did Andre remain a sex slave??? Hopefully there will be a part 2 to expose all those bidders and save Andre.
cherita ballard no andrew had his mind taken over by the white lady's husband so if they rescued him he would still have the mind of the white guy and there is no going back
Never trust a chick that eats a fruit loop then sips some milk instead of eating a bowl of cereal. Then she had the nerve to google top NBA prospects. 😂😂😂
This movie has me soooooo gah damn shook oh em gee!! Great review Ashley! You're absolutely correct Rose did not want a paper trail and that's why she was adamant that the cop couldn't check Chris' license. Also, Rose was strategic in preying after an orphan with no extended family or siblings. That way nobody would even be looking for him. Did you notice those Omega statues in front of the property? That was a symbol meaning 'The End.' This movie was sooooooooo freaking good! The Bingo slave auction was the creepiest scene I can't get it out of my mind. Really good underlying message about Eugenics and black people's organs being superior and extremely valuable in the black market. I could literally go on and on if you let me! So freaking good!!
Brooke Watkins another part I can't get out of my head is when Chris went upstairs during the party and they ALL went silent trying to hear what he was doing...that ish was creeeeeepy!!
OMG!!! YES!!! That part was really creepy! They were all frowning and dead silent. A few friends and a few reviews had mixed theories on that. Some said that was about the white gaze and white supremacy always wanting to monitor our every move. That part was super creepy 😭😭😭
Brooke Watkins i cam see that. when a black person goes into the store they might get watched extra closely, or the cop might pull a black person over to check on them because they "look bad". People are just assuming black people are up to no good and feel the need to watch us closely
When the dad made that "deer" comment one more out of the streets 🙄🤦🏾♀️ I was like PLEASE tell me everyone else caught what he trying to say! I'm like really?!
At Ashley, I do not know if you read the Autobiography of Malcolm X, there was a very interesting account with the relationships with black men and white women. In the autobiography it is mentioned how white women purposely picked darker skinned black men because they felt like it was the "real thing." I will noticed alot in college.
When they hit the deer I think Chris reacted the way he did because of what happened to his mom. He has been riddled with guilt for years about not looking for her or trying to do something. Same reason why he went back for Georgina. Also the deer thing kinda reminds me of Bambi.
Remember Rose was on the computer and was looking at the basketball player/new victim. I said the same thing about the TSA agent. Everyone needs a friend like him.
& it's ironic how chris killed dean with the taxidermy deer when dean was talking about how much he hated "deers" & how they need to be eradicated in the beginning of the movie
Isn't it crazy how as you're watching it, you're catching symbolism left and right and yet AFTER the film I have read up about it online and I STILL missed a lot of stuff lol This movie is everything and you're right about trying not to blink at all during the movie. Everything Jordan put in this film was intentional down to the one and only Asian character in the film.
It didn't hit me until the day after I realized the grandpa (black groundskeeper dude) was running at night to test out his new "black" legs ! I really enjoyed this movie + I knew the girlfriend was sketch when she said she "forgot" that family party was happening this weekend lol
I didn't necessarily think that the Asian man was a white man, you know, during WWII, japan conducted the same kind of experiments on captives that their german nazi allies engaged in. They can be just as racist as whites.
THIS WHAT THE KARDASHIANS DID TO KANYE. KANYE WEST CAME OUT OF THE HOSPITAL ACTING LIKE THEM BLACK FOLKS IN THE MOVIE. IJS THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMMMMMM!
hell yea, i sent my Spanish co workers to go see the movie, he came back talking about it was to racial and made him uncomfortable, then hit me with the racism is over that stuff dosent happen anymore.
i just let it go, i realized if he didnt connect with movie. Nothing i can do for him, but the fact he felt uncomfortable with it just made me side eye him alittle and i kept it pushing.
this movie was good AF and the way it ended makes you feel like that wasn't the end like there's going to be another one because Chris is still under a spell if so I can't wait!
Also, the part when the friend called Rose to find out where Chris was at. Before, he recorded her he was like this Bi*ch is lying. I was clapping at the theater -like she is good. She knew that he was recording and she was like you trying to talk to me.
When I seen Maxine Shaw from Living Single I got soo hype! But the movie was soo good! It had the scary moments, the side eye moments, the plot twists, and the comedy. I was really shook lol
This movie is so layered and powerful. One thing about Get Out that really spoke to me was near the end after Rose is no longer hiding who she really is. Notice something about the crazy way she is eating the cereal (Fruit Loops, cause she crazy!). Rose has separated the COLORED cereal from her WHITE milk. And she is SUCKING the Big Black Straw to elevate the white milk upward as she destroys the colored cereal One By One. Also, now that she's not hiding who she really is, she proudly displays the pictures of all her victims on her wall. They are behind her as she searches the Internet to find her next victim. When you look at her search results, she's looking for a big, Black athlete. Made me immediately think of the Kardashian family and how they destroy every man they come in contact with One By One. And how do they get them? What made them famous in the first place? The ability of the daughter to suck the big, Black straw and lure them into THEIR world. As Arsenio Hall used to say, "Things that make you go 'Hmmmmm'." :o)
Phillip Jackson The movie has only been out for a week. She made this review a couple days after it came out. (so yes, it was quick) . . . What are u talking bout?!?
Naomi Riley no it been out for 3 weeks Ashley saw it the week after it came out cause she wasn't sure if she wanted to see it she clearly said that in her vid boo
Phillip Jackson The movie came out Feb 24th. She saw it a week later and put this video up days later. THAT IS A TOTAL OF 9 DAYS boo. Why are you so pressed that the original poster was giving Ashley a compliment? #somepeoplestaymad
Vettmail Im not pressed about shit just learn your fucking math in open your ears when it comes to listening that's what my teacher use to teach us you know listen carefully so you wouldn't have to make a mistake cause you also said she made this video 2 days after the movie came out now your saying 9 days cause now your using your listening skills iish sometimes ppl need to shut the fuck up and just listen so you wouldn't have to respond back but now I'm sure you have something to say back since I used bad words so I'm waiting...
Walter killed himself because he wasn't his self. During that surgery they removed the part of the brain that stored his memories. he was basically a robot.
the girl family's last name was an anagram for "a grim tea" Another cultural colloqualism used symbolically: at the table outside they were having tea the maid was spilling the tea but Chris didn't catch on but when the fam saw it she began to apologize and go into her "sunken" state
If you like Get Out, you should watch the show Black Mirror. I think that's where Jordan Peel got the idea to hire the guy who played Chris because he's in an episode of Black Mirror that has a similar concept.
When rose was like "we're gonna take a walk" and they were gone then it flipped to the auction I was like what's gonna happen if they walk in on this.. that's when I figured rose was in on it, that's why they took the walk
Jacc Trippa I'm thinking that because she was actually the grandmother she was just as in charge as the rest of them. man that movie had so much going on it was like watching two movies at the same time
That's the real Georgina (the black woman in the sunken place) who opened it, you see how weird she was? She the only one who didnt need no flash to be herself for little moments, in one of those moments she opened the cubby so Chris could see the pictures and get out
Someone said that the tea being stirred is a symbolism for when we get some "tea" on someone we get hypnotized and sucked in and forget about what is really important. Like listening to the tea about remy and what's her name...got all sucked into that tea not realizing you'll president signed a new travel ban.
heygirl yeah like how they hit the deer in the beginning and they left it to die. At the time we didn't know it related to his own story, probably why he went to check it out.
Anyone else noticed the small door in the room with the photos was open the first night he was there? You know how a cat sometimes toys with a mouse before eating it? That's what that b*tch Rose was doing. She wanted him to find the photos. I saw that movie twice. I just may see it a third time JUST to see the family get killed again.
jesushateswood Thank you!.. I totally agree everyone says it was georgina & although I didn't rule it out I believe Rose left it open I mean she was standing there when he shut the door probably watching him the whole time with a wicked grin on her face
Wasn't this movie great? Peele subverted expectations on how he tackled racism and made it feel organic. It was a fresh take on the horror genre with top notch acting, social commentary, and some genuinely funny moments. Rod was the man. And this movie had some great visuals too! The sunken place bit was so well filmed. Glad you enjoyed it!
Jordan made the movie the way he did cause it's meant to be watched several times. You don't pay attention to a lot of the details 1st time watching it ,just like other movies. Everything you said Ash I already knew ,but I'm going this week. Loved the review. I'm actually going to buy the DVD. I'M GOING TO WATCH IT AGAIN IN THE THEATRE COME TIME FOR THE NEXT SHOWING 😉😆😅
Ok, so these comments got me thinking about that scene with Georgina and how she kept unplugging Chris's phone. Maybe that was symbolizing the content Blacks or "Uncle Toms" trying to keep other Blacks from being "woke" or trying to make them accept what's going on by keeping them disconnected from the outside world. Or keeping them from exploring or learning more about what's really going on. Omg, I'm bad at explaining things but do somebody get me lol or can explain it better
GIRL. this movie was EVERYTHING. I thought it was gonna be stupid and then everyone was like watch it watch it. And I said okay. OH MY LORD. So many times I was like this couldn't be me this couldn't be me there was too many IM GONE MOMENTS. After watching I saw all the damn references and I was just like wow. The director needs awards. The auction the silence when he went upstairs I was like no. This movie was too Damm good. I can't I need to watch this again. I didn't realize Andre was the one from the beginning but the beginning had me dying he was like nah just keep walking I was dying.
OHH I did notice that the reason they wanted to use black people is because of those stereotypes that "black don't crack" (this implies that Rose grandmother can live thru this young black woman and can still be youthful for years to c come) and black men are more athletic and fit naturally (for Rose grandfather who in his youth was bested by a black man in the Olympics) very deep but still another form of that silent racism that alot of people don't believe they are perpetuating
I just finished watching this! I did NOT know they were having a silent auction. I couldn't figure that part out so Thank You!! It was really quite good! I'm so glad they had his friend for comedic relief because my nerves were really bad. It was very Stepford Wifey.
Great review! This movie was awesome and one that will give us much to talk about. When we realized that Rose had even tricked the black lady into coming home with her I was like no black people safe from this trap. And those fruit loops and milk 🥛😂
Goat from Ruthless Reviews. I liked your take on the movie. Congrats on not being distracted by the fringe social implications that so many reviewers have fallen for. It was a movie. It was a very good movie and you communicated a great understanding of what Jordan Peele accomplished in this film. Your insight into the movie was quite complete and I congratulate you on a great video. One hallmark of a great movie review is to translate your own enthusiasm and enjoyment of the movie, and you did this very well. Thanks for it. You made me smile in my remembrance of this finely crafted movie.
I love the discussions and theories people are bringing up, this movie has me obsessed lol. @EbeFrimpong made some good observations on twitter that I found interesting: 1. The guests kept probing Chris with random questions to see if he would be suitable for their needs and would be worth bidding on. Eg; when the old man asked him "Show me your golf stance" 2. "Bingo" was a signal for Rose to take Chris out the house so the silent auction could begin 3. The mom didn't want Jeremy play fighting with Chris because they wanted him in good condition for the auction. That's also why they were so persistent with his smoking 4. At one point Georgina says, ''Trust me, I don't have to answer to anyone''... yeah because it's her house 5. At the start of the movie the dad talks about how much hatred he feels for the deers (reflecting how racists feel about black people) - It's ironic that he was also killed by what he hated (Deer/Black guy) 6. Black people have to act a certain way in the presence of white folks, talk differently... essentially we're all in the 'Sunken Place' 7. When Chris and Georgina were talking and she starts crying, that's the real Georina fighting to Get Out but grandma says ''no no no''
I just got back from seeing Get Out again because of the comment you made that Rose didn't want Chris to give his id to the cop because she didn't want Chris in the system. I didn't even think about that reason. Nice catch! There are other stuff I caught the second time seeing it. Get Out is like The Sixth Sense because things made more sense after watching them a few more times.
Just watched this Ashley. I didn't think too much about the Cop wanting to see Chris's drivers license. Was thinking it was because of the cop being an asshole and not happy to see a biracial couple together. Now, I see why Rose was arguing with him. Also, at the party there's an older couple and the wife walks up to Chris and starts feeling of his arms. "Oh, you are muscular."..just like slave owners would do when deciding what slave to bid on. This movie should be watched more than once cause there's so much to miss.
I saw your original tweet that the movie was a no for you and I had hoped you'd change your mind because I had hope that it would be a good one to bring fourth discussion. Side note everyone was clapping in my theatre except like the few white folk that came and they seemed very tense
When you said it's to many of them and we need to control them I think of it's a bug life when the grasshoppers or whatever was trying to control the ants
so to me this movie has a double meaning. I think this movie not only touches on racism but it also talks about cultural appropriation. I say that because the part in the movie when they talked about how black is kind of like in fashion and also how they want to take apart of black people's natural abilities.... just a theory not saying that is a fact.
I would've ran as soon I saw the black dude running. Shoot that's an unwritten black rule anyway... when you see one black person run YOU BETTA RUN!!!!
I know the brothers in this movie were mirrored in real life with these Becky's OK I get that. The Becky chasers deserved this needling (wake up call). I do have one question, what was the relationship with the black women? Sisters, do YOU need to examine your relationships with the Becky's also? LOL.
I forget what instrument they showed the brother playing when they were all outside after the party, (I was wondering why they showed that bit) but did the brother have the other black dudes brain that was at the party? Cause when they googled him they said he was a jazz player that was missing. I never hear ppl touch on him that much in their reviews. Man, this movie is insane lol
I didn't start picking up on things until one of the white people said something about blacks being trendy. I was like 🤔 but I was all the way done with the silent auction. I knew from the very beginning Rose wasn't shit. This movie gave me so much to think about though. Like how does the world really view me? Great movie. Jordan Peele #salute
Ms. Miller you have a Awesome talent of relying your thoughts. You've gained a subscriber. I had no plans of watching the Movie, however with your in depth analysis I just might. Awesome job. Be Blessed.
