This is one of the movies I will forever regret not watching in cinemas. It’s just interesting to hear public opinion on such layered with message films.
Something that I noticed when I watched this movie for the second time was when the officer in the beginning asks for the documents of the main character and the girlfriend acts mad and starts defending her “boyfriend” saying that he wasn’t the one who was driving and etc. But in reality she was doing that so there wouldn’t be any police reports of her being with him. Absolutely genius film making
I'm legit starting to doubt him at this point. There's being good at predictions and then there's getting everything correct, has he gotten anything wrong?
@@yanndylan2239 trust me, i watch a lot of movies and can predict entire movies 90% of the time - also i have a huge mouth and can even comment throughout the whole movie which helps with predictions over time ig
@@yanndylan2239 I like him so much and also i hate how absurd his "not watching stuff before or not knowing it anything about it" is. Of course a guy who likes cinema this much knows about the plot of this movie and all the other movies. I mean you can get some right but not at this extent. Him celebrating himself for getting the plot right gets so obnoxious.
@@Kernwadi he didn't look like a racist at all only a dumbass who is really pressed would think that. My family saw it and we talked about it for weeks so maybe you didnt get it which is typical. It's one of the most unique movies I've ever seen
@@Kernwadi you mean besides the majority black cast in horror film, the symbolism throughout the film, the non reliance of jump scares or plenty of things Dylan already said
The significance of the buck deer head is that. "Bucks" is what they used to call male slaves at the auction. So in the beginning of the movie when the father was saying he hated bucks that was a subtle reference to how they used to call slaves bucks when they were sold off to be auctioned off as slaves. The irony of it all was when he was killed by a buck head by a "buck".
All I could think of in that scene was the he shouldn't have taken it off!! I was so mad bc the mother could hypnotize him again at any moment. I really thought she would when she saw him. But it felt good when he destroyed the tea cup and killed her bc it meant they couldn't control him anymore.
@@Hana-xf7bq It’s been a while since I’ve seen the movie but I’m pretty sure the cotton plugged his ears so he wouldn’t hear the hypnotizing teacup sound anymore
Because it’s such a menacing scene that instantly confirms something nefarious is going on. It had been more subtle before that moment. That moment and then when she says “you know I can’t give you the keys, right, babe?” Lol
When I watched it the theaters, the entire audience was Black people and we all sighed heavily when the cop car came and then when we saw it was his friend we all chered. I'll never forget how universal that moment was for everyone. We watched him fight for his life and be innocent just for it to be all taken away and then realizing he actually gets to live. So powerful.
@@msstupidcommenter09 it’s wild how different you feel watching the movie when you see the alternate ending where it’s not the friend who shows up but an actual cop. They end with him in jail talking to the friend and the tone is so heavy.
@@DPObseser The more you watch this movie The more you discover. There so many theories about this movie that the director himself was looking like yeah y'all finding more stuff than I intended.
When the dad said “I couldn’t bear to let them go” he meant his parents, not the workers! 😖, and the sprinting is because the grandfather was beaten in the olympics by a black man, “he almost got over it”, but never quite did. He was training in his new body. Also the deer at the beginning, symbolised his fate. He eventually used a deer head to kill the father. The MMA scene was the son testing his physicality, and in the end where he kills everyone, it was his strengths that saved him (which is something they should have anticipated considering they believe that black people are “physically-superior” and want to inhabit their bodies)
I would add that his smarts saved him too, because if he hadn’t used the cotton earplugs to avoid being hypnotized, it would’ve been over. So not only did he use the strength that everybody assumes he has, he also used a historical symbol of oppression to free himself.
@@jenl7094 Hunting especially deer hunting is a thrill sport. Then if you get a good one you'll usually make it into taxidermy so you literally remove the insides and replace it with some filler to put it on display in your home for example, mounted on a wall usually. But the main point is the deer is killed for sport and then its insides are removed to be appreciated by onlookers which is basically what they were literally trying to do with him except with his brain and he himself is the trophy. He's human taxidermy. That's my interpretation, anyways.
@@jenl7094 I'm late, but "buck" is a term that has been historically used to signify a young black man and sexualize him as "hyper-virile" and violent. That's also the term that is used to signify a young male deer, which is what the mounted deer was (only bucks grow antlers, while does tend to never grow antlers or be mounted.). Alongside that you have the idea of human taxidermy that Ashley presents that can certainly be applied.
that realization that the only reason Rose says "what the fuck?" after the brother swings the lacrosse stick at Chris is because she's like "don't damage the goods", and also that's the only reason they kept telling the brother to stop when he wanted to wrestle or fight or whatever at dinner
when the dad said “when my parents died we couldn’t bear to let them go” we thought he was taking about the ‘servants’ but it was actually the parents bc they’re in their bodies!!!!! i did not catch that my first few watches
Jordan actually revealed in an interview that originally he planned on ending it with the cops coming and either arresting and locking him up for the rest of his life or shooting him on the spot but decided to end on a more comedic note. Also I love how his friend basically plays as the characterization of the people watching the movie, yelling at the screen to "get the fuck out" 😂
I love how this ending fits Jordan’s personality and intentions so well. He’s not out to ruin everyone’s mood. He’s not here to be a social justice revolutionary. He’s here to give good, thoughtful, clever content and leave a good feeling at the end of a turbulent story. His videos on Key & Peele were always wild, but you still felt happy/surprised/humored in the end. His videos left you with GOOD feelings. While “Get Out” was certainly a horror, I think that the hopeful ending was the icing on the cake of a very thoughtfully written, though dark, story. Even through all the horrors, he left his audience feeling victorious. That’s what sets Jordan’s horror movies apart from others, I feel.
@@RT-zn9bj What I loved about the ending as well. He showed his whole personality and strayed from the typical horror trope of the main character dying in the end.
This movie is the epitome of "is this on purpose or am I overanalyzing?" Like the opening where she chooses pastries is basically exactly what she does when looking for a target to seduce. Also a more obvious one that the only guy at the party who didn't care about his skin colour was a blind guy. The heavy use of "black" in a negative sense as well, like "black mold", the blind guy describing it as "all you see is black" and that stuff. Both of these are just regular phrases but especially with the black mold theres probably a reason thats the type of mold that went into the script
I think its faacinating how you pick up on camera work and can predict certain plot points but at the same time dont get the main points and symbolism of the movie :D
Tbh, I don't even think that he picked up on the text that the white people were literally taking over the bodies of the black people. From what he said/how he reacted, it really feels like he thinks that they're just doing some sort of telepathic mind control in order to make them slaves
@@marsinator3675 I thought it was cause in the beginning he was talking about how much he hates deer, but in the end, a deer head is used to kill his ass
the sequence at 4:17 that dylan talks about, i always thought it was a very literal foreshadowing of the whole story. The main character is painting his face white, like how they put themselves into the victims, effectively making them white. And the girlfriend is window shopping, selecting the next victim like her role in the family.
I love how Dylan easily predicts most plot points of the film, but then completely neglects the symbolism of stabbing the father with the deer antlers. Dylan C'MON that shit is BRILLIANT!
Also the term “black buck” (a buck = a male deer) was a popular racial slur in the post-reconstruction era. A black buck was essentially a black man who didn’t bow down to white authority. Therefore the fact that Chris kills the father with the deer head is another symbol of Chris’s fight in the film
@@beefshreekksksksksks8648 The hunter becoming the hunted. The black people being hypnotized w ere the like deer in the headlights. But now the carcass of one of their kills takes revenge.
@@Curandera99 I actually saw another comment speaking about the fact that ‘black buck’ was a racial slur and how it referred to black men not bowing down to white supremacists. Also, the dad mentioned that he hated buck and how they are ruining the earth or something
Dylan saying he’s gonna look for hints in the camera work was so interesting to me because when they walk into the kitchen and the dad says “we keep a piece of my mom in the kitchen”, the camera pans straight to the maid/housekeeper (sorry i dont remember any names😅) because the Mom’s brain is literally in her, it was so subtle but obvious after watching the movie twice.
i havent watched this for a long time so the wording may be a bit different but when Chris is touring the house with the dad and they're looking at the stuff on the wall, the dad says "it's nice to experience other cultures" (not exact wording) which foreshadows what they're doing
The thing that made me the most mad about this movie, is THAT HE NEVER LEFT UNTIL DEATH WAS LOOKING HIM IN THE EYE. Because I know for a fact that my black ass would have left as soon as that old lady said “Is it true that it’s better?”. I would’ve been GONE. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.
I would’ve left when I realized the girl’s family lived so far from society. I have a fear of being in the country especially living in South Carolina where racism is a personality trait
dont know if someone already said this, but the deer head is a metaphor and gives a ton of deph into his character. chris always felt guilty about not calling when he got the feeling something bad was about to happen to his mother, that phone call could've saved her life cause due to paramedics she died in agony, meaning she was still alive when he thought about the call. This created such a big trauma that he can not leave anything behind. That's why he stopped the car to check on the deer and that's why he puts the grandmother into the car. He just can't do it. When he takes the deer's head, there's a little sequence of the head "calling" him, reflection of his own traumas for not letting anything behind, when he takes it to fight it's like he's taking the past and using it to not only take control but fight the "present" with it. It's an amazing and clever way of giving growth to a character non directly
14:22 he delivered this so well, the very subtle little shake/crack in his voice, it's so quick and soft you might miss it, and how his face is held so calm, like he's trying to keep his nerve but his face is too still... idk just really great depiction of being deeply unsettled and how a person would actually try to cope with that, it's not flat and it's not over the top. Hard balance to strike
Actually, the original ending (ALTERNATE) after he was choking the girl the cops showed up but it wasnt his friend in the car, thus being, the cops of course thought that he was the villan because there were dead bodies around, they pulled out a gun and told him to put his hands up. It then cut to him in jail with his friend on the phone with him (that glass thing) and he was asking for more information on what happened so they can help him out. And he ( the main character ) simply replies with " I stopped it. y'know, I stopped it" Then he dropped the phone and proceded to walk back to his cell. Realistic and depressing and sad, so of course I like the one they went with alot better :p
Yea, I heard that they showed this ending to some people and they didn't like it, so they went with the other ending. However, the original ending would've been more realistic. I honestly thought that's what was going to happen until his friend got out of the car.
Damn. Brutal ending but one that's poetic and means something. I despise twists for the sake of twists or shock value. However a meaningful ending like that is powerful. I like the ambiguity of the "true" ending though, like you don't know what happens after.
@@youngfunny1824 Jordan Peele knew that. Remember that he is an African American man (he's technically half white too but he identifies as black and passes as a black man). He deliberately chose to go with a happier and triumphant ending because there have been so many injustices against black men and boy by the police. Hearing about these incidents has been demoralizing for black people and Peele wanted to provide black people with something that would make them feel good and satisfied instead of feeling bad and exhausted. Movies are escapism after all.
I analyzed the color symbolism the last time I saw the film. Blue is ONLY ever worn by the victims/black people. Red, white and black is only worn by the predators/white/asian people. Yellow is all around the main character when he's in a trapped situation. Even the trees and the grass outside is yellow. The only room in the house that is not yellow is the girlfriend's room which is turqoise. It pretends to be blue, a color that should have a calming effect on the main guy because this is the only place he feels he can be open and honest about his feelings. However... turqoise isn't just blue. It is blue infused with yellow. Under the blue covers on the girlfriend's bed are yellow pillows and blankets. The scene where she sits on the bed while enticing a new victim online toward the end of the film, you see the blue light from the computer shine up on her while a yellow bedlamp on each side of her is lit. It is a trap and she is the bait. From a color perspective, this film is a feast to break down, but I never want to watch it again because the teaspoon sequences grate on me something fierce. It's like nails on a chalkboard.
@@ItsNessaTho I watch a lot of movies and next summer I'll officially be able to say that I have a bachelor on graphic storytelling so that's why I guess :b
omg this is so thoughtful! and the tea cup is blue on the outside but it holds yellow tea: it's a deceivingly innocent object! Also, I think blue is calming for him because he associates the color with watching tv at home, and how that served as a sense of comfort from the real problem at hand. However, the tv also correlates to this feeling of helplessness which is a repeated theme when he enters into the blue saturated "sunken place." I'm wondering if blue is not just associated with innocence but also being powerless.
Someone explain me this mans brain lmao in tangled it took him like 20 minutes to realize he was watching at Rapunzel but in this movie he predicts so many things almost perfectly????
There’s a whole buzzfeed article about hidden message you may have missed, one of them being when Chris rips the stuffing out of the leather chair, he's literally being forced to pick cotton, in order to save his life. It’s super interesting and makes you realize how much more intricate the entire movie is!
Yeah, and another good one is how she stood up for him to the cop when they got into the car accident with the deer- it wasn't because she loved him, it was because she didn't want the cop to run his ID and have a paper trail that he was there that weekend. Super clever movie!
I just love how the very first scene of the movie is shot so dark that it takes a second viewing to notice that the lanky hat dude is the one that's kidnapped in the beginning.
I love that when she argues with the cop and it looks like she’s trying to defend him against racial profiling. But I’m retrospect, she’s making sure there’s no record or evidence of him out there
The tea: Dylan's comparison of the dad to michael scott was the most apt and impressive part of this video, because buddy that is SPOT ON... and no one is talking about it 😡
But guys, take a minute to imagine the horror of being stuck in the sunken place. Being deep in a body you can no longer control. Having to watch someone live your life through your own eyes, waiting for death or something to finally set you free. It reminds me of the Black Museum episode in Black Mirror. A sad torture.
that scene where the grandma was crying in front of chris, i felt like the real girl stuck who’s inside the sunken place was trying to express her pain and struggle. she was a prisoner in a body that wasn’t hers anymore 😭
Dylan's video made me realize so much more hidden meanings: Main dude is turning himself white with the shaving cream. Dad says: "Couldnt bear to let them go" but is he really talking about the staff, or is he actually referring to the parents. All the people show up in black cars; white people inside of black vehicles.
Also the blind man insisting that he's not racist and he's only in it for Chris's photographic eyes. He's a condemnation of those people who claim they "don't see color".
Finally, FINALLY, I can watch this. Since it came out, I'm constantly on the verge of clicking on it, especially since I regularly binge-watch all of Dylan's videos again and again, no matter how often I've seen them already, but I always wanted to watch the movie Get Out first. I'm so glad I've waited. It was phenomenal and I'm happy I could have the full experience without knowing a lot about it. But now that I've finally seen it, I can finally sit back and enjoy this video. Now, where are my snacks?
I’m kinda upset that he didn’t figure out that the new black guy in the beige hat was the guy from the beginning of the movie 😭😭. His reaction would’ve been awesome
The original ending was him getting arrested and convicted for the murders and the final scene was his friend visiting him in jail. The idea was to shock the audience into talking about race rather than let racism continue simmering under the surface but by the time they were finishing shooting he felt that conversation had already started and people were more aware. So he changed it so that people got a release and it wasn't as much of a downer. I really need to watch this film again - there's so many levels I'm sure I've missed. Something I saw Jordan Peele confirm in an interview which I think is amazingly intelligent is Chris saving himself by picking the stuffing out the chair to put in his ears is a black man freeing himself by picking cotton.
Woah I love that. Cause the movie has been such a downer through the whole movie already, so getting that kind of bittersweet ending fits I think. Tho I'm such a sensitive softy that I hope everything always ends happily. And that's also why I don't really watch horror/thriller movies, lol. I _can_ however appreciate the writing and directing of them. Like in this one.
@@mxy775 I don't really consider that movie's ending a happy one haha. I also haven't seen it in years, I was pretty young when I saw it last, and honestly I'm scared to even watch it again nowadays. I will one day, cause I know it's an incredible movie, but I gotta be in a better head space for that. It would *wreck* me if I watched it now. Also how do you hate happy endings? Lol.
Also, even though many people deny the cops targeting certain groups of people, nothing had to be said when the police lights were on him choking her. My stomach dropped, and then she asked the cop for help! Lmao!
@@weaouw well idk it's not a HAPPY ending more of a saddly satisfying one like she returned to Jack to her one love all her life and it shows that she got to fully enjoy her life with his spirit in her heart. J hate happy ending cuz they are always so happy like perfect. Like why does every Disney movieend with them finding love or being happy it's not realistic. Idk it's not satisfying. And I really want TK rewatch the Titanic again but I don't wnag my mental state to get damaged again . Haha
My two favorite things about this movie: the dad saying don’t go into the basement because of black mold (like black mould, as in they’re moulding them for themselves) and that he saves himself in the chair by literally PICKING COTTON to stuff in his ears. UGH Peele is a mastermind
Another fun fact is the continual use of “deer”- the fact that the dad states he hates deers, to then also get killed with the use of a mounted deer/ buck… “Buck” was a racial slur used during slavery
What I absolutely love about this film is how Chris is being startled and frightened throughout the first three-quarters of the movie, but in the end, when he fights his way out, he becomes the jump-scare. Daniel nailed it.
@@tanijawashington8740 I hate watching movies with people like this, what are you trying to prove? If you watch enough movies you can guess pretty much everything, they're all the same
man you really just gotta appreciate how much dylan actually knows about the production of films. The way he talks about the direction and every little detail is amazing.
@@radhiadeedou8286 In his defense symbolism especially racial symbolism isn't in his expertise. He's a straight white guy. And when first watching this you miss alot. Even as a young black girl didn't get alot of the scenes until I reflected back on the movie and was presented with the underlying plot of it all.
Your favorite video of his is him basically saying in the first 49 seconds “I said something homophobic& horrible, but here I won’t apology & will make fun of y’all for getting offended & hurt by my uneducated & foolish words” okay
My favorite part of the movie is when his friend notices that Chris hadn’t come home on time he gets nervous, and since he was friends with Chris for a while he probably heard the story about what happened to his mom and how Chris blamed himself and it (maybe even subconsciously) told him something was wrong
I can’t believe he missed the most obvious symbolism, it was when she had the cereal separated from the milk it was supposed to symbolize that the colored and white shouldn’t be together
@@araani8740 half the video is random predictions of course hes gonna get some right. I feel like stopping the movie made consentrating harder, the movie had to spell it out for him to figure out that the family is using black people as vessels and im not sure he picked up on its implication, the implication of the entire movie or that the grandparents were the black servants by the end. Like boy just watch more than 5 seconds of the movie at a time holy shit
The scene where the guy's nose bleeds, and he starts pleading with him to escape, it's amazing acting. Absolutely horrifying, it chilled me to the bone.
Loool why am I watching this the second time and still finding it funny 😂 watching a movie with Dylan actually gets me asking the exact same questions he’s asking
Dylan did you notice that the father of the girl's father (granddad) was an athlete who lost a race to a black man and it is said that "he never got over it" then he gets surgery to transplant his mind in a black guys body that's why he was running in the dark like that bc he wanted the body of a black man bc he thought it was superior. Also the grandmother transplanted her mind into a youthful black woman that's why in the night in the movie she was staring at herself in the mirror and touching her youthful skin makes sense. Also the blind man buys the main character bc he's also an artist/photographer and he wanted his eyes and talent for art so that he could continue his career and finally see again. EDIT: they probs didn't want him to smoke bc they wanted that lean bod lol. also Dylan please react to white version parody of get out
Did you notice also when they went into the kitchen and they say how they always keep a piece of their mother there and the mom is actually in the kitchen
The movies is the definition of owerrated. The tone it had screamed it's secretly a comedy, but the comedic twist never came. It's borderline racist, but hey the director is a black guy, he can't be racist, right? America and it's dobble standards. The movies summation is "white men evil, white men want black man's body, voice and di*k.". If this thing got an oscar for screenplay, Preedestination, Inception and Gattaca deserve atleast 3 each. It's probably the most uncomfortabile moviegoing experiance ever, fealing like the director is poitning at me saying "Racist", i say, "Nope", but he insists he's right. :/
Dino Sabalić lmao stfu white ppl literally does this is real life..except the hypnosis..a lot of black ppl feel uncomfortable around a whole bunch of white ppl, black children go missing every day bc white ppl are selling their organs in the black market. Read about that black high school student who was found dead in a gym matt at a all white school with all his organs gone. This shit is real & white men did the most disgusting shit in man history.
The Night King this was his first time watching. He’s just good at predicting the plot of movies because when you’ve seen a lot of movies it gets easy to determine the storyline.
There's still some stuff he didn't catch 1. Guy he flashes with his phone the first time is the guy from the beginning 2. They party is were everyone can examine the "Product" 3. The ending was actually changed too the friend being there at the end
Also when the "grandma" is checking her reflection she's making sure the wig is covering up her scar. Then they mention the grandma was is the running for the Olympics and it shows him running at night.
and all of the family members deaths were related to facts about them, the dad being killed by the deer after saying in the beginning how much he hates them, the brother being killed while wrestling, the mother being killed with her teacup and the girl I can’t quite figure out
@@tiawats4956 I think it has to do with her saying something like "you want to leave.. without me" and then at the end he leaves without her and she dies alone, idk
In regards to the deer We learn in the story that Chris’ mom was killed in a hit and run and left on the road to die while Chris did nothing and only watched TV at home. Chris’ fear and concern for the deer in the opening scene directly represents his guilt for his mother’s death. The scene where the deer hangs above Chris’ head as he is watching the TV (with the explanation of the surgery) is very ironic. As a kid, Chris did no actions to save his mom and instead watched TV much like the other scene except he chose to act and save himself rather and do nothing like his 11 year old self. He then uses the deers head to kill that dad which is the object that symbolized his guilt for the death of his mother. Unfortunately, Chris couldn’t save his mom but he did save himself
spades109 I think that symbolizes that their hands are dirty with the blood of their victims, cause everyone is in on the plan, even if they’re just watching
@@soobmarine I never really thought of why they all had it, only that it was a connecting factor, but I really like that idea. I think it makes a lot of sense symbolically. Thank you 🙏
@@soobmarine haha it's just interesting. I also just looked it up to see what it meant, and you're actually partially right. That was part of the meaning. Red also symbolizes "danger" or "stop", like how the car Rose drives is Red, its how she's leading him into danger and how all of these people are against him
One aspect of the story that you may not have thought about: A huge part of why Chris doesn't leave sooner (despite all the suspicious and threatening behavior) is because sadly, most black people deal with uncomfortable stuff like that every single day - especially if they're in mostly-white environments. So as a community, many of them have simply gotten used to letting that stuff slide, even when their own inner voice is freaking out and saying, "something's wrong, you could be in danger, get out!" Because if black people spoke up or made a big deal every single time a white person said or did something vaguely threatening or uncomfortable, they wouldn't have time to do much else. :(
Yeah no. "Most" black people don't experience shit like that lol. The reason he didn't leave is because it's a movie and there would be no plot if he did. PS: if that picture is you how do you know what "Most" black people experience? 😂
Haha, nah, I have an idea of what they experience because I've talked with and listened to a lot of them, and read about their experiences, and generally made an effort to understand what people other than myself go through on a day to day basis. It takes a bit of time and effort, but it's worth it. :)
You’re completely right! This movie touches on so many day to day racial stereotypes that black people face. A few from this movie that I can think of off the top of my head is the son when he talks about “your physicality, you’d be a ‘beast’” black people, and black men in particular are often revered as more athletic or more physically imposing. In fact lots of black athletes catch flack and get called savage or monstrous etc just think about all the hate toward the Williams sisters. Unfortunately black men in particular are described or depicted as beastly and “dangerous” they demonize black men and over sexualize black women. Another stereotypical reaction is the woman who is “hitting” on him refers to the size of his penis and makes a remark about “is it really like they say”. There’s stuff about how he talks and how he dresses “nice” and him being smart...Etc. Plus what’s even more crazy about this movie is that the viewer feels incredibly uncomfortable in this white space just like most POC on a regular day. Like that’s the genius of this movie.
You're right, if not most a good majority of black people go through things like this. Maybe not to this extent, but coupling the fact that a lot of black people do go through this and he's in love with this girl and trying to make a good impression on her family, I definitely see why he stayed so long. Kudos to you for recognising!
@@blahblah89 As a black female, I do go through alot of uncomfortable stuff from many different races of people not just white. Definitely not to this extreme of course, but I don't point out a lot of racist things people say because I just got used to it.
Watching this in theaters and having the entire audience shift from sighing in disappointment to cheering when the police lights turn out to be the best friend….. priceless
I actually laughed when he said "how will I ever 'Get Out' of dept" and then he said "don't pity laugh" and I actually felt the need to explain that I wasnt pity laughing.
Lmao my fave thing was Jordan Peele did a breakdown of the movie and didn't even intend for it to mean that 😂 he straight up was just meaning black mold
